1960

Having just returned from Hanover, I feel as though I have been given an injection of spirit, a renewal of commitment toward my responsibilities. A combination of Green Key Weekend and activities at Hopkins Center and elsewhere made me quite nostalgic for the good old days. As opposed to a year ago when I had the same feeling, I am going to follow up with some innovative devices to get more cooperation from all of you to provide me with input for the column. I was surprised to find that our class has the highest percentage of classmates receiving the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, so you must enjoy reading it. Just think how much more enjoyable it would be if we could hear more about each of you.

I don't like to write about myself, except that I had a recent reunion with several good friends in Boston. We spent the night reminiscing about our years at Dartmouth to the point where our wives (or, in Bob Friedman's case, lady friend) were not speaking to us. Tom Trimarco, in his inimitable way, had us on our knees laughing. His extraordinary memory of the details impressed us all. Tom, as you all probably know, ran for the U.S. House of Representatives as a Republican in a heavily Democratic state and unfortunately was beaten. He claims that this was his last race; we shall see! (Some late-breaking news: Gene Kohn informed me over the weekend in Hanover that Tom has accepted the responsibility of reunion chairman. I guess that insures he won't be running in 1984 because he'll be so busy getting ready for our event he won't have time.)

Bob Friedman was bubbling as only someone in his business can understand. Among other things, Bob manages the special situations fund at First National Bank of Boston and has ad incredible performance for the past 12 mnths (and will, let's hope, for the next 24 months as well, which would indicate a continued bull market).

Dick and Nancy Jo Harrison are both inas volved in family counseling and look as young as ever

Bob Heinemann has become a partner in a very successful architectural firm in Boston. Bob's pdest daughter is at Boston University, and the other two are fast approaching decision time.

Gary Stass, who is with the securities firm of McDonald and Company, is off on a Bermuda vacation compliments of his partner, who made a major realty sale. And so says Gary, "You don't have to pick good stocks, just good partners."

Robert Hatch was recently named corporate vice president and assistant to the vice chairman of restaurants and consumer non-foods of General Mills in Minneapolis.

Daniel F. Wilkinson, partner in the real estate firm of Wilkinson and Snowden of Memphis, recently had the honor of being elected president of the board of trustees of Leadership in Memphis. This is a well-earned title, as Dan has been very active as a volunteer in many community projects.

Gerald W. Hutterer was recently promoted to vice president of Republic Geo-Thermal Inc. in Santa Fe Springs, Calif.

Although the announcement of Paul H. Boeker's appointment to the State Department's newly organized Policy Planning Council took place back in February, I don't think it's ever too late to make mention of a good thing. The group was formed to provide a broad perspective on foreign policy issues. The chairman of the group is Stephen W. Bosworth '61.

Also a bit late being reported but still of interest is the news received from Richard Hyde, associate chaplain of the College, of two articles written in Chicago newspapers about the work of Reverend David Chevrier with Salvadoran refugees. David is the pastor of the Wellington Avenue Church in Chicago, the second church in the country to formally offer sanctuary to Salvadoran refugees.
