1982

In the November column, Emily wrote that lan Campbell and Bob Bauer were in Wyoming over the summer. Their colleague, Randy Gordon, has since written to us of the crimes of this motley crew, so I feel obliged to share them with you. "I guess it's about time to report on some of us non-corporate types," writes Randy. "Lan Campbell, Bob Bauer, and I have been living most happily in the Tetons of Wyoming for the last year. Lan and I were ski instructors at Jackson Hole while Bob flipped pancakes and eggs at the Alpenhof. Over 120 days on the slopes was quite a treat, one that will probably be repeated this winter. I'm off to instruct in the Alps, while lan will remain here at the Hole for more of the same and Bob will hopefully return to school for a new academic adventure. Say hi to all our city folk classmates and keep on smiling. We sure are!"

Charley Hoffman is back in school, but on the other side of the fence as a teacher at the Darlington School in Rome, Ga. He relates that Cheryl Bascomb gave a great slide presentation to potential Atlanta area '88s. Charley is doing his part also to see that a few more Georgians head north to Hanover.

Bruce Boyer and Robin Shaffert are back in school, but they are mere students. Bruce is a first year at Northwestern Law along with John Lee. After attending the wedding of JimFroehlich and Chris Perrson in Hanover, Robin has settled down at Michigan Law School for her first year.

Dave Cummings spent the first seven months after graduation doing molecular biology research at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md. Then he spent six months on a Land Rover expedition in remote regions of Africa. Now he is in his first year at Harvard Medical School in a collaborative program with MIT designed for medical scientists. Dave writes, "Dave Vaughn and I conduct cardiovascular experiments every day by bashing each other around the squash court."

William Pahl reports that he graduated from Thayer in June 1983 with a B.E. and that he is not going to Tuck as mentioned in a previous newsletter (neither is Dave Henke, he adds). Bill works as a student minister with the DACF part time and spends the rest of his time working at Thayer and in the music department. Bill attended the wedding of Bob Condon and Linda Rehm on October 15 in Hanover and writes that Priscilla Downs is doing a master's in chemistry at SUNY and that Hank Malin is back at the Fessenden School.

On the business side of life, Tim Geibel is working at the American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago. Tim is also treasurer of the Dartmouth Club of Chicago and resides with his new wife, Kay Lynn, in the 'burbs. David Lull is working with a Denver bank as a loan officer, and Marie Connolly is working in the planning and analysis department at Lincoln First Bank in Rochester. Marie is testing her limits, as she is also taking night courses for an M.B.A. at the University of Rochester. I have learned that Doug Brown is now working in corporate finance at Smith Barney in New York. Vive la banking!

Yet another '82 has left the American shores for an enlightened English education. Elizabeth Thomson is reading for an M.S.C. degree in human biology at Oxford for the next 12 months. She writes that anyone passing through London is welcome to look her up for a travel companion.

Sally McCoy has recently returned from "seven months pursuing Buddhists, mountains, exotica, and hedonism in such places as Turkey, India, Nepal, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, and Japan." Sally adds, "Dartmouth highlights included doing a wheelie through a red light, past a policeman, on a Honda 200 on Corfu, Greece, with Colette Drape, and meeting Dick Cunningham for the first time on a trail in Nepal."

Eric Cline writes of news from Yale: "I am presently in the second year of the Ph.D. program in Near Eastern archaeology here at Yale (sorry!). Spent six weeks of the summer traipsing around Turkey, Italy, Greece, and France with Dartmouth Professor Jerry Rutter. I then spent July and August in Cyprus on an archaeological excavation my fifth one; I'm now at the point where I play Indiana Jones and threaten my volunteers with a bullwhip if they don't cooperate. Just ran into J. B. Friday and Katie Stearns, who are both first years at Yale Forestry; also ran into SteveHathcock, who is starting divinity school here. My Aegis photo experience is paying off

just had a photograph accepted into a nationwide exhibition by the National Photographic Society of America. I'm still trying to learn how to do nudes, but can't find any volunteers."

Charles Williams writes, "I am now employed by the nation's newest newspaper, the only color newspaper covering the entire country, U.S.A. Today. I am employed as a sales manager and am enjoying life in the city by the Bay, San Francisco." Frank Melville is a computer software support/training specialist in Aspen, and Brian O'Mara is a civil engineer with G&O Engineering Inc. in Greenbelt, Md. The final word from the corporate front is that Jim Morgan is back in Boston after working for Macy's New York for a year. Jim is now a buyer for Bradlees Department Stores.

Chris McDonald is pursuing a career in the military and was commissioned as an ensign in the Navy on November 18 at Newport, R.I. In this era of great international turmoil and at a time when the U.S. military is again the focus of a great deal of attention, Chris writes, "Ronnie Reagan and the U.S. government foolishly place 'special trust and confidence in Ensign Christopher McDonald.' If they only knew ..."

Have a warm, wonderful holiday season. Let us hope that the coming year surpasses the one just past in bringing peace and goodwill to all men and women of the earth.
