1975

After having been lost in transit for at least one issue, I am fully recovered and now settled at my new address. For all of you who have been diligently pursuing me in West Hartford (creditors not included), Eliza and I are now in Wilmette, 111. The boxes are nearly unpacked, and my writing utensils have resurfaced; hence my appearance again on these pages. I am looking forward to a new year of communication with fellow '75s and trust you are all prepared for unsolicited midweek calls and visits.

Mike and Trish Peters suffered through one such call. With at least ten minutes' warning they each arrived at my hotel in Seattle for a short visit. Both are doing quite well. Seems to me that Trish is carrying the weight as a full-fledged M.D. in anesthesiology. Mike muttered something about one or two more years before he was qualified to work on me. Trish assures me that Mike will make a great doctor some day. I should add that Mike kindly paid for the drinks; I think that entitles him to two free dinners in Chicago.

I recently received a nice note from Charlie Dudley '29, who forwarded to me a copy of a New York Times article about Michael Hollis. For the seven of you from our class who don't know about Michael, he is perhaps the premier entrepreneur from our class. (This will produce some mail.) Michael is the chairman and founder of Air Atlanta, the first airline that is largely owned by blacks. The last two years have been a time of significant accomplishment for Michael in establishing, obtaining funding for, and ultimately launching Air Atlanta. The airline's primary market is the business traveler, and it serves Atlanta, New York, Memphis, and Miami. The article is in the New YorkTimes of June 9, 1985.

I was also informed that one of our rank has received a Charlotte W. Newcombe Fellowship from the Woodrow Wilson Foundation at Princeton. This fellowship provides financial support for a full year of uninterrupted research and writing for students whose doctoral dissertations concern some aspect of ethical or religious values. This year Dan Nelson was among the 48 out of 413 applicants chosen. Dan was a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton University at the time. Good work, Dan!

Tim Whitney has achieved headline status through his participation in the Watneys Challenge Oxford-Cambridge Manhattan Race, a biannual rowing event. The Challenge is modeled after the Oxford-Cambridge Thames races, which dates to 1828 and features alumni from the English race now living in North America. Tim rowed for Cambridge in 1980, but I have every reason to believe that this race was the more meaningful, given the promise of a Watneys at the finish line.

Closer to my new home, I find that Glenn Reed has been admitted to the law partnership of Gardner, Carton, and Douglas. Glenn joined the firm in 1978 and specializes in Corporate Securities, general corporate, tax-exempt finance, real estate, and equine law. Glenn equine? Now that I have moved out here I will clearly have to get a little more personal definition on this field.

Finally, Gil Hahn recently married Barbara Twohy Benezet. Barbara is a marketing services manager for Touche .Ross in New York and graduated from Vassar College. Gil has been busy since Dartmouth graduation, obtaining a law degree from Vanderbilt and an M.B.A. from Columbia.
