Your response to Norm Fine's newsletter was appreciated, for he was able to direct many of your news items to me to use in this column. Apologies for missing the March issue, but I'm not very good at fantasizing. Norm, incidentally, really is enjoying editing the class newsletter, which obviously is in direct proportion to the recent amount of incoming correspondence. If you're an early riser, Norm can be seen taking early morning therapy riding through the woods of Concord. Whether or not he gets as far as Lexington is conjecture, a Paul Revere fantasy.
Seldom in this column have we had an opportunity to talk about local politics; however, Jack Cogswell has been reelected to the planning board of Needham, Mass. An advocate of completing a working master plan for the town, Jack has chaired the board for five years. He has worked for the Bell System for the past 26 years and is currently New England Telephone Company's division manager, finance. As director of the Needham Historical Society since the early seventies, Jack practices what he preaches, for he has lived in one of his town's few remaining antique homes for the past 12 years.

If you have paid any attention to the advertising in the back pages of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE in recent years, you will have recognized Eric Bergstrom's name as being involved with a small inn specializing in water sports, especially of the skin-diving variety. Eric's recent correspondence confirms that not only is he still director of tourism but he is also presently president of the .Caribbean Tourism Association, "a kind of mini-United Nations of 25 Caribbean countries cooperating in tourism. Eric can be contacted at Box 67, Grand Cayman, British West Indies, if you are tired of waiting' for our summer to settle in.
One clever gimmick I use to elicit responses from you is to publish news items that are not accurate. In our November class notes 1 wrote that Ken Lunstrorm had moved eastward after having visited with Tom McGreevey on the West Coast. The truth is that Ken and his family stayed but Tom moved his family back east to New Canaan, Conn., where he joined Chem Systems of Tarry town, N.Y., as a senior consultant in its commercial group. Sounds like an interesting future for Tom, who will be concentrating his consulting efforts in the area of petro-chemicals, particularly in worldwidemarkets and trading patterns. He is involved in a project based in Malaysia which has taken him out to Kuala Lumpur twice. We look forward to seeing Tom, his wife Sharon, and kids Ron and Alison at future Dartmouth functions in New England.
Word from the Detroit Medical Center has it that Dave Page, an active member of the Children's Hospital board since 1973, was elected to chair the board at a recent annual meeting. He is only the fourth person in 26 years to be elected to this position. Dave lives in Birmingham, Mich., with his wife Andrea and their three children. Not only is Dave an honor graduate of Harvard Law School, he draws a paycheck as a partner in the Detroit law firm of Honigman, Miller, Schwartz & Cohn. In his spare time, he serves on the boards of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit, the Allied Jewish Campaign, the Detroit Area Council of Boy Scouts of America, the American ORT Federation, the United Fund, Marygrove College, and Allied Supermarkets Inc. And you think you're busy!
You might have noticed that there are more chance encounters with Dartmouth women graduates these days as the alumnae group epands. I spotted one recently jogging along the Seine, left bank, of course, sporting a Dart mouth sweatshirt. She was by me before I could utter "Wah-Hoo-Wah"; but on second thought, she most likely wouldn't have recoenized the cry.
Reminder: An important Dartmouth weekend is being planned for the William and Mary game in Williamsburg on October 9, and this fear's Dartmouth Night will feature Harvard at Hanover the weekend of October 16. More details will follow in the newsletter.
