1966

The title for this column should be the hard-working father's report." I have a potpourri of notes from new fathers, old fathers, and fathers-to-be — which is a far cry from the mothers" we used to be.

Richard and Helen Tufaro, who live in Summit, N.J., welcomed a new son, Paul Robert, born January 31. Dick reports that daughter Mary, four, and number-one son Edward, two, are doing fine. He also mentioned that while he was lawyering in Los Angeles, he ran into "one of Dartmouth's new breed — a lovely young woman aspiring to be a lawyer.

Also in the newborn news, both Larry Geiger and Al Keiswetter reported adding second daughters and second children to their families. Pamela Young Geiger was born last July, and Emma Maria Keiswetter arrived in September (same day as her mother's birthday). Al's news was a little delayed in getting here; he is currently chief of the political section at the American Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan.

Tom Brady dropped a line from Sylvania, Ohio, which must be around Toledo somewhere. He is adjusting to the mid-life years in grand style.He was promoted to technical director of the plastic products division at Owens-Illinois. His wife Betsy (Smith '68) is active in community affairs, while his children — Kathy, nine; Cindy, six; and Rick, three — are active in swimming, gymnastics, Brownies, Softball, and Girl Scouts. I'm sure my feelings are similar to those of you who have children not quite as old as Tom's: "Is this what we're getting into?"

Speaking of getting into it, I have two reports from expectant fathers. Jim Season phoned me last night to tell me he is expecting his first child in August. You recall Jim got married in October of last year. I had to do some arithmetic, but it looks like Jim is safe (or at least quick). The other expectant father is me. Our third will reportedly arrive in July, and we're going to call it "Quits."

I saved Chip Tomlinson's note for the spring just to bring out the fond memories of fellow crew jocks rowing on the river. Chip asked me, "Can you make weight tomorrow for the 150-pound crew?" Ha! I kissed that one off ten years ago. But Chip's still in shape because he's running marathons even after taking a year off due to a stress fracture.

Jim Weiskopf brought us up to date on his Army career. He is a major and has been assigned tor the last three years to the Pentagon, where he is a public affairs spokesperson for the Secretary of the Army. He expects a new assignment this summer. I have a phone number for any of you who would like to give him a call. Bill Jacoby reported that he has been director of residential program standards at the NewYork State Department of Social Services in Albany for about a year now. Phil Wade is servicing the public as chief of internal medicine at the Harvard community health plan in Cambridge. He also teaches at Harvard Medical School. He and his wife have three daughters and live in Newton, Mass. And finally, Bob Gilbert joined Internationa! Multifoods as a division vice president and group marketing manager after having served with Pillsbury and General Foods. Congratulations, Bob.

The Alumni Fund still needs your help to achieve its ambitious goal. The times may be tough for you and me, but they're even tougher for the College. We still have a month to go, and that means 30 more days for you to get your contributions in before the deadline.
