1966
Last month we left this column wondering who would write next. And in closing, we stranded three tasty morsels of news of fellow '66s, in the hope that a gusher of information would obviate the need to string out Roger, Bert, or Stu for another month. (You think reading this stuff is hard, try writing it sometime!) Greg Eden wrote. He is president of Eden Hannon and Company, an investment banking firm specializing in tax-exempt project finance. And recently he's moved around the corner to a 200-year-old townhouse in Old Town Alexandria, Va. That's older than Nebraska! So, Bert, Stu, and Roger, you are in luck. Only one of you will get mentioned. Let's see eenie, meenie, minie, moe .. . Aha! Stu Schweizer, this is your month!
Dateline, Elmira, N.Y.: Stu Schweizer has announced he has a job lined up for 1985! He will then be president of Schweizer Aircraft Corporation, a business his father and two uncles started in 1939. The three brothers William (Stu's father), Paul, and Ernest have run the glider-making concern since its founding, and have now passed along the "troika" style management to the second generation. So after a cousin and a brother, Paul '68, take their turns at the helm this year and next, Stu will have his chance to "crack the whip." In case I forget, Stu, congratulations in advance!
It's getting close to summer and I bet you didn't know that a fellow '66 may have recently moved into your neighborhood. I got word of some recent relocations of classmates, though, and am listing them below for your benefit. (And also to fill some space up!) The classmates are listed with both their old location and new location. (If you want complete addresses for any of these, or other classmates, you can write the College, but you're much better off writing me. So drop a line!) Herewith the list: Roger Brett, from Gillette, N.J., to Oakland, Calif.; John Calhoun, from Menlo Park, Calif., to Mt. View, Calif.; Ralph Chapin, from Batavia, N.Y., to Wyoming, N.Y.; Jim Cinberg, from Pound Ridge, N.Y.; to East Lansing, Mich.; Kit Combes, from Washington, D.C., to Bedford Hills, N.Y.; Julian Ferris, Houston, Tex., to Houston, Tex. (it's a big city); Ken Flowers, from Larchmont, Tex., to Lubbock, Tex.; Dave Freeman, from Mexico (somewhere) to Tucson, Ariz.; Bill Garry, from New York, N.Y., to Jacksonville, Fla., Jef Gilbert, from Petersham, Mass., to Worcester, Mass.; Tony Hanslin, from New London, N.H., to Grantham, N.H.; Jim Jourdonnais, from Woodland, Calif., to San Francisco, Calif.; Nelson Lichtenstein, from Silver Spring, Md., to Albany, Calif.; Ed Long, from Burke, Va., to Charleston, S.C.; Clay McEachron, from Sacramento, Calif., to Maxwell A.F.B., Ala.; Bob Miller, from Flagstaff, Ariz., to Gainesville, Fla.; John Pearson, from Danby, Vt., to Rutland, Vt.; Roger Perry, from St. Louis, Mo., to Essex Junction, Vt.; Jim Season, from Far Hills, N.J., to Rye, N.Y.; Dick Smith, from Windsor, Mass., to Brookline, Mass.; Jamie Stewart, from Winchester, Mass., to New York, N.Y.; Henri Tacon, from St. Louis, Mo., to Las Cruces, N.M.; Jeff Tunick, from Greenwich, Conn., to Yorktown Heights, N.Y.; Andre Vasu, from Plandrome, N.Y., to Huntington, N.Y.; Jef Wheeler, from New York, N.Y., to Englewood, Fla.; Chuck Wilmot, from Stamford, Conn., to Cos Cob, Conn.; Bill Wilson, from Seattle, Wash., to Miami, Fla.; and Doug Greenwood, from Washington, D.C., to Hanover, N.H.
That last move listed, Doug Greenwood's, is welcome news indeed. Doug, as you probably all know by now, was selected as editor of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, concluding a fourmonth search in which over 100 candidates were evaluated.
I spoke with Doug and can report that he is every bit as excited about this important appointment as we, the members of the class of '66, are. Doug came to Dartmouth from Pompano Beach, Fla., majored in English, and went on to Georgetown for his master's and to the University of North Carolina for his Ph.D. He has been acclaimed for his writings on transcendentalism in 19th century literary personalities. Since 1978 he has been on the faculty of Georgetown University and has done some writing and editing for its alumni magazine. Due to the high visibility of the change in editorship of the DAM, Doug's selection has to be viewed as an honor awarded to someone of the highest qualifications and character. And for those of us who have become concerned with the issue of independence, let me relate that Doug was particularly circumspect about that issue and emphatically would not have accepted the post if he had had any doubts about his ability to bring to the MAGAZINE a balanced and objective perspective. The DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE is in good hands. Doug, the class sends you its warmest congratulations!
