1975

Watch your mailboxes. Invitations to Tom Snickenberger's wedding should be arriving any day. Car pools in all parts of the continent will be organized by the groom's family for the ceremonies. Yes, Tom's tying the knot this May at Calvary Episcopal Church in Batavia, Ill. And the lucky girl? Patricia Wolcott - no relation to Peter Wolcott, we hope - a graduate of the master's program in social work at the University of Illinois. She now works at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Snick is a resident in orthopedic surgery at Northwestern's McGaw Medical Center. Congratulations to both of you.

Doug Peterson, two-time U.S. Olympian, has been named assistant coach of the Canadian cross-country ski team. Doug retired last spring from racing after he broke his neck in a freak accident and missed the entire 1981—82 season. Doug was tapped for the post from among more than half a dozen top candidates by head coach Marty Hall, who named Doug to the 1976 Olympic squad and later served as his personal coach. "I feel very comfortable with Douglas," said Hall. "He's been all over the World Cup map; he knows people at every racing site; and he's going to be an immediate asset to our team." Doug spent nine years with the U.S. ski team and served as assistant coach on the U.S. World Championships and the World Cup tour. Doug now lives in Hanover.

Drew Cheney is now a tax lawyer with the accounting firm of Ernst and Whinney in Portland, Ore., according to a usually reliable source.

Anthony Rudd writes from Hanover: "I received my Ph.D. in philosophy from Northwestern in June 1982, and now I'm an assistant director of admissions at Dartmouth. I'm enjoying Dartmouth as I never did as an undergrad. I became engaged to Rita Lang of England on Christmas Day. I've got to start on that fourth generation legacy one of these days! Practically everything of significance in my life seems to happen here. Maybe it's the drinking water." (More likely just the drinking.) "I'm involved in several projects dealing with philosophy," A. G. ends his note, somewhat enigmatically, then invites any '75ers in town to drop by McNutt (and pay those outstanding college bills). Mike Varley and Don Hebert (a great hockey manager, incidentally) also work for the admissions department making our class the largest contingent there.

Two niembers of the class of '75 - Bill Schults (left) and Wayne Cripps (right) - whoseinvolvement with a popular Upper Valley contradance band was covered in a recent 1975 class notescolumn, are pictured here in performance. The group, called Smash the Windows, also includesmembers Danny Dover, on guitar, andBetsy Maislin, on flute, plus an unpictured fifth musician.Contradancing is experiencing a revival throughout New England, largely because "it's fun," as Schults was quoted as saying in a recent Valley News feature on the group.
