1974

Live, from Randolph, N.J.! It's that show you've all been waiting for - that amazing blend of fact and whatever: the '74 news! Our motto: "All the news we gets, we print."

Fred Previc got the third degree his Ph.D. in psychology was awarded in May at commencement exercises at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Also, DePaul University sent an announcement of BillDeevy's successful completion of the J.D. degree in February. Congrats and best of luck to both of you!

And now it's time for "Close Encounters of the 74th (and Best) Kind" the continuing saga of those '74s I've actually sighted in person in the last few months. Chuck "Rosie" Rosenthal is living in Manhattan while working as a surgical resident at N.Y.U. Medical Center. However, Chuck has decided that he is enough of a "cut-up" without a blade in his hand and has opted to leave surgery behind. He will be starting a radiology residency at Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn and we expect to hear glowing reports of his activities soon. Corky Eannace made it to the '74 Alumni Fund telethon in Manhattan in June. For Corky, it was a farewell performance, as he had plans to move back to his home town of Utica, N.Y., where he will be involved in his family's legal practice. It was a stellar effort as Corky tracked down Dick Ellsworth (at Rocco's Italian Restaurant in Fairbanks, Alaska) and proceeded with the most amiable shakedown it has ever been my pleasure to hear. We'll miss you in the big city, Corky!

A few quick features include news of Dave Grant, who is managing a branch of Topp's Supermarkets in Rochester, N.Y.; Rick Clarke, who is continuing his career in architecture but has moved to the firm of Mayers and Schiff; and Mike Wargo, who is working for Mass Mutual Life Insurance in Cleveland and says, "Things are starting to break into the open!"

Don Degraff is a technical recruiter for the Atlantic Career Service in Newark, Del. In this "headhunter" capacity, Don finds experts for the laser industry and supplies personnel for a number of military installations.

Garrett Long recently returned from a trip around the world, courtesy of his employer, R.C.A. Garrett is involved in international standards work and gets the chance to do quite a bit of traveling oh the job. His recent sojourn took him through Hawaii, Tokyo, and India, among other stopovers. That's not too shabby, Garrett, but where do you go for a vacation?

Chicago is now home to Chris Pfaff, who has just finished renovating a condominium, more or less on a do-it-yourself basis. When he isn't involved in his own brand of urban renewal, Chris works for Control Data Business Information Services, selling time-sharing services. He also reports seeing Bruce Williamson and Don Casey.

Lew Lazare is also in Chicago, where he claims to be "playing journalist." Lew, who holds a master's in journalism, writes for Grain's, a Chicago business newspaper published by the owners of Advertising Age. His main responsibilities include the coverage of movies, theater, TV, radio, and business entertainment in the Windy City, but he also spends part of his time writing about marketing and advertising in that city. Lew, it's good to see that all that use of The Dartmouth's reviewer's pass to the Nugget has really paid off.

When I talked to Al Weston in June, he mentioned plans for a wedding on July 3 of this year. The woman of his dreams is Beth Newton, a Smith graduate who is at Northwestern Hospital, working on a chaplaincy residency as a Methodist minister. Al is in the middle of a fellowship in general pediatrics, which he expects to complete in 1984. He has also gotten an opportunity to be involved in academic medicine at the University of Chicago. Getting back to the wedding plans, Al mentioned that several Big Greeners were planning to attend, including Butch Guerue and Charlie Drake and Mike Bonner, both '73s. Best of luck, Al and Beth!

This month's " '74 ROAR" goes to TomShort. Tom recently received the American Graduate School of International Management's highest award, the Barton Kyle Yount Award, at the school's commencement in May. This award, named for the school's founder, is bestowed on the member of the graduating class who comes closest in scholarship, accomplishment, and character to the young American the late General Yount visualized as standing for the best in American life. The recipient is selected by faculty vote. Prior to attending the school, Tom was an officer in the U.S. Air Force and a member of the Glendale, Ariz., police department. A large-sized "well done" for you, Tom!

That's all for now. Tune in next month for our special holiday edition of the '74 news!
