And so we're at the beginning of another new school year, bringing us that much closer to our grand and glorious 25th. We will be bringing you, we hope, lots of news in the coming months from around the country as various committees are forming to plan the events for that great occasion. Also, mini-reunions will be taking place in all corners, so watch this column for details in your neck of the woods. Following is a run-down of those already scheduled for the fall in the Northeast.

Three class mini-reunions are being planned to coincide with football games:

On October 15, after the Harvard game in Cambridge, there will be a reception at Bob Kennerson's house, though this may well have happened by the time the Magazine is in your hands.

The following weekend is Dartmouth Night and the opposition is Cornell. After the game, there will be cocktails and a buffet at the Moose Mountain Lodge in Etna.

Then on November 5, Dartmouth plays Columbia at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. Plan on dinner after the game at the Meadowlands, followed by an evening at the Meadowlands Race track.

Coordinating the mini-reunions is Urban Hirschey, who solicits any and all ideas for winter and spring events. He can be reached at Climax Manufacturing Company, Castorland, NY 13620, phone 800/448-3501.

I haven't yet received any of those summer vacation stories I know you all vowed to send in, so I have to dig pretty deep into the mailbag to give you the following news. . . .

Dick Pomboy, living in Darien, CT, is still involved in stock market things in New York.

Bob Harrach, one of our few physics majors at Hanover, is now a physicist at Livermore Labs in California, where he is working on nonnuclear projects. In 1978-79, he and his family went to Hanover, where he taught at Dartmouth for a year. They are now back in California, where his wife is in the cafe business. Bob Barker, also a physicist, is at Livermore in a senior administrative position.

Jerry Boyle and his wife Kay are living in Tucson, where Jerry continues with IBM. The Boyles have two kids at the University of Arizona and one who will be entering next year. Jerry reports that two are football players and one is a rugby player. Given the number of kids in the same college at the same time, they probably have to be rugged enough simply to survive.

Ed Sedivey is an attorney handling a variety of cases in Bozeman, MT, which has a population of 30,000.

Tom Strong has been practicing the fine art of design across the street trom the Yale campus in New Haven and has been designing things for institutions around the country, with heavy emphasis on college materials. He reports that he occasionally runs into Gazley, McCarter, and John Nash. John is still a poet and an artist and splits his time between the family home in Vermont (Professor Nash was John's father) and London.

Bill Danforth, living in the Santa Barbara area, having retired from the Navy two and a half years ago, reports that all is fine. He is working at various jobs, the latest being a city assignment working on a computer facility.

Dave Gosnell lives and works in the St. Louis area, where he is former adman from the creative side of Gardner Advertising. The Gosnells have a daughter going off to Wellesley this fall and Dave continues at his new product development company. Dave and his-three partners work for some of the larger corporations in the country, developing new product strategies and getting them from the point of the idea to the point of sale.

Gerald Huttrer was promoted recently to vice president for business development and technical services of Republican Geothermal Inc., the country's largest geothermal firm. Gerry is living with his wife Jan and their family in Fullerton, CA, where they moved a couple of years ago after 14 years in Evergreen, CO. Jan teaches pre-school and is involved in civic affairs, while Gerry keeps himself very busy with skiing at Mammoth, running, and board sailing and the ever-present YARDWORK. Their oldest daughter, Anne, 21, lives in Boulder, CO, where she is a commercial artist. Susi, 18, is headed for the University of Colorado this fall, and their 15-year-old son Chris is active in football and track.

A reminder news items should still be sent to me at the address at the top of this column. Look forward to hearing from you all.
