1968

In the last few columns, I have appealed for news; the response has not brought the mailman in to my office for a backstrain exam. However, the letters which have arrived have been quality efforts:

Warren Cooke writes from Hong Kong that there was a mini-reunion of sorts at a loansigning in Hong Kong in December. Warren, Bill Martens, and Mike Zavelle met and made up 14 percent of the 21 people at the loan-signing table! Bill is a vice president of Asia Pacific Capital Corporation Limited, the merchant banking affiliate of Citibank in Hong Kong. Mike is associate director of Chase Manhattan Asia Limited, Chase's merchant banking affiliate in Hong Kong. Warren represents the Hong Kong office of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley and McCloy and acted as legal counsel for the deal. Thanks for the picture and information, Warren.

I ran into Tom Goss at the University of Massachusetts Med School in October. Tom is a member of the orthopaedic department and specializes in shoulder problems. His training consisted of med school at Dart- mouth and then Harvard, followed by surgi- cal training at Roosevelt Hospital in N.Y.C. Tom completed an ortho residency and joint replacement fellowship at Columbia Univer- sity, then spent 1977 to 1979 in the Navy at Portsmouth Naval Hospital. Since that time he has been at UMass. Tom married his wife Joan in 1979 and they have two children Tom (four) and Christine (one), with another on the way.

Enthusiasm for the Big Green runs high in Tom's department, with John Monahan '55, Dave Gundy '65, and John Thatcher '72 sharing the load. At the Thursday night cocktail party, John commandeered a piano and we enthralled (?) the rest of the course participants with an attempt at a Dartmouth medley.

Rich DuMoulin has continued his interest in sailing through the years since Dartmouth, having raced 12-meter boats including the American Cup races until 1977. During this period, Rich persuaded his father to manage the 12-meter racing effort. The senior DuMoulin served as general manager of the Liberty syndicate while Rich coached and remained behind the scenes for this past year's races.They plan to travel to Perth to recapture the cup! Rich lives in Manhattan where he is a partner in OMI Corporation, a shipping firm specializing in oil tankers and bulk carriers. He has been married for four years and has a child, Lora, and another on the way.

Rich mentions that he sails frequently with Lee Reichert and that they have successfully negotiated the difficult Bermuda Race several times. Lee lives on Long Island and works for Miracle Grow. Another sailing friend, John De Regt '72, works for Rich and married Lee's sister.

Rich also filled me in on Rick Pabst, who has left meteorology in favor of raising thoroughbred horses on a farm in Buckley, Wash.

The hard part of doing this column is having the responsibility for notifying you of our class's losses. Gene Lendler died in an auto accident on November 30, in Branford, Conn. The complete obituary appears in that section of tha Magazine.

A "mini-reunion of softs'' between these three '6Bs took place in December in Hong Kong.From left to right are Bill Martens, Warren Cooke, and Mike Zavelle; details on the gatheringare in the 1968 class notes column.
