1970

I was delighted to receive a letter from our classmate Gordon Hughes. Gordon is director of education in the department of otolaryngology and communicative disorders at the Cleveland Clinical Foundation. Gordon is a doctor and in addition to his educational duties performs ear surgeries. He recently completed a book entitled ATextbook of Clinical Otology. The work is a fabulously complete one, running more than 400 pages with several thousand references. It is well illustrated and covers diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of a full range of ear disorders. The Cleveland Clinical Foundation is a well known medical facility which has an international reputation at this point. Congratulations to Gordon on this accomplishment and on his ongoing work. Those people involved in medicine in our class may wish to know that the book is published by Thieme-Stration of New York.

Congratulations are due to DavidNoyes, who was married this last June to Karyn Dee Carpenter at Arlington Street Church in Boston. Dave attended the University of Michigan Graduate Business School after Dartmouth and is vice president at the Boston branch of Barclay's Bank. Karyn attended Lafayette College and is a corporate travel consultant. By the time this column appears in print, David and Karyn should have settled into their home in Cambridge, Mass.

This July a lengthy article on black bankers appeared in City Business, an independent newspaper in New York. One of those both pictured and quoted is our classmate Wally Ford, who is now a partner at Drexel Burnham and Lambert and former head of the New York State Mortgage Agency. Wally was commenting on the waste of talent as a result of the underutilization of abilities possessed by blacks. When opportunities are denied, useful input is lost. Wally also commented on the opportunities that exist for black bankers in government.

I was able to get to Hanover for the first football game of the new season. It was great being up there. I had forgotten how wonderful fall in Hanover can be. At the game I had the pleasure of meeting Al Mulley, whom I did not really know from our Dartmouth days. Al and his wife, Margaret, live in Newton, Mass., with their two children, Alex, five, and Kate, two. Al works at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is chief of the general internal medicine unit, where his time is divided between teaching clinical medicine, research, and clinical epidemiology and evaluating medical technologies and practice and patient care. Margaret is a partner with the accounting firm of Deloitte, Haskins, and Sells.

I am once again out of news, so please, now that fall has begun, drop me a line as to what you are doing these days.
