1951

Kudos to several classmates with new jobs.

Dave Emerson is now dean of the College of Science, Mathematics, and Engineering at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas after 18 years at the University of Michigan at Dearborn. He writes that his younger son, Eric, is still with them and that there is always a bed for a '51 who runs out of it in Vegas.

Aaron Rausen is now professor of pediatrics at the New York University School of Medicine, where he is also practicing pediatrics, adolescent hematology, and oncology. He also is in charge of the pediatric oncology section. He still commutes from Hewlett Harbor on Long Island, where his three children are in the third, sixth, and eighth grades.

George Biggs is now associate professor of music at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Ark. George writes that "culture shock" is no problem for an old New Englander like him, with Southerners as kind to newcomers as they are there. It's a good job in a new fine arts center with 16 full-time music faculty.

Dick Hulbert was named senior vice president of the Chemical Bank of New York. Dick joined Chemical in 1957 as an analyst in the methods department. In 1961 he joined the auditing department and was named a vice president in 1971. He was named general auditor in 1972 when he assumed full responsibility for the administration and supervision of the department. Dick is chartered by the Bank Administration Institute as a Chartered Bank Auditor and is a member of the Institute of Internal Auditors.

Buck Scott represented Dartmouth at the inauguration of Sheldon Hackney as president of the University of Pennsylvania.

Howie Fuller writes that he is pastor of Community Congregational Church, teaching in area theological schools, and writing a book relating transpersonal psychology to the Christian tradition; married to Annette George 30 years; has four young adult children in various stages of growth; spending more and more time working for nuclear disarmanent.

Sturdy Heifer writes that Rachel and he "had the most memorable trip of our lives, thanks to our 30th reunion. The great pleasure of seeing so many old friends (and being remembered by so many!) was only lessened slightly by the absentees. Hap Person (see August' '51 Fables') is a 'party poop.' We saw no golf or tennis and went to only one (not very) intellectual session. And we, with Cathy and Joe Holton, had a glorious walk up the Snapper and back via the Ridge. 'Twas a perfect combination of nostalgia trip and chub, in fine conditions. Would have been better with Hap and Lissa there as well. Here's to the D.O.C. 75th."

Joe Holton and Cathy write that they enjoyed seeing old friends in Hanover at reunion and hope more will come to visit them in Seattle long before the 35th reunion.

Dick Miner writes that things are continuing to perk along. "Our daughter Carol '85 is enjoying her freshman year at Hanover. She recently became good friends with two other female '85s, Amy Brout and JoAnn Shannon, only to discover that their dads are both '51ers too! (Al Brout of Larchmont, N.Y., and BobShannon of Easton, Conn.) It's a small Big Green World!"

Dave King writes that he was sorry he couldn't make the 30th reunion in June, but his youngest daughter, Kathy, graduated from Colorado Women's College in Denver in May. This was followed with a two-week vacation trip to Hawaii for the whole family. He had a phone visit with Bill Monahan while on Maui.

Doug Johnston writes, "All kinds of great things happening here in Brentwood, Tenn. Business is terrific (except Edith's real estate). Edie - a junior in high school - is cheerleader for the football squad, and their team is presently first in the state! Eldest son, Doug Jr., has just accepted a post as administrative aide to Fifth District U.S. Representative Bill Boner and will be leaving the D.A.'s office to move to D.C. in January. Really enjoying being a grandfather, with a third on the way!"

Jerry Bodgan writes that his kids are kids no more. "Lisa, the youngest, is a senior at Washington University in St. Louis; Phil, one of our twins, is starting his M.F.A. at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence; Karen (other half of the twins) is working in New York City for an advertising firm.

Don Morse writes that 259 of our classmates have sent their class dues in as of November 1981. Don't forget to send yours to Don in 1982 so he won't have to send the second and third notices.

The ad said 14.379 per cent - with smilin' president Jim Culbertson's picture on the left inviting us all to come into the First National Bank of Randolph County and buy his sixmonth money certificates. For those wanting to travel to put your funds with Jim, he is in Asheboro, N.C.

The Vermont Standard, owned and operated by Standard Corporation Ltd., was recently sold to former class scribe Hank Nachman, a New York advertising executive with a parttime home in Woodstock. Phillip C. Camp, a Woodstock businessman, will be the manager. Hank, along with Camp, James Wright, Robert Torrence, and William Peabody, will form a new company called New England Communications Corporation, which will be involved in other projects that may or may not eventually include the Standard Corporation Ltd. as a subsidiary. The newspaper, one of the oldest weeklies in Vermont, was founded in 1853 as the Temperance Standard. The name was later changed to its present title.

Keep the news coming in . . . with notes on the cards from Dave Batchelder as well as on Don Morse's class dues notices.
