1977

What we have got here is good stuff. What we haven't got here is very much good stuff. Why not boycott those two surly class newsletter editors (the McKees, if you have forgotten,) and forward your gems to this office?

Ah yes, the wedding march. From TheProvidence Journal comes word that CraigC. Berry has married Kristen Ann Gregory. The ceremony took place last June in Barrington, R.I. Craig and Kristen have settled in Philadelphia where Craig is serving as a cardiology fellow at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Other familiar faces at the wedding included Vincent Lepore and Dan Lucey.

According to The Boston Sunday Globe,Thomas Pell and Leigh Shepardson were bethrothed last June in Cambridge. Tom, a graduate of Cornell Law School, is an attorney with a Boston firm while Leigh is an administrative assistant with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Pells live in Brookline.

A very nice note arrived recently from the former Gail Hughes. Gail and KurtReimann tied the knot last July in Dover, Mass. According to Gail, 500 friends managed to attend the reception which was held at Copley Plaza. Dartmouth folks joining Gail and Kurt in the joyous occasion were Dan Mahoney, Phil Ward, and Tom Barnico. Kurt has an M.B.A. from Stanford and is currently working for a realty and development firm in Boston. The Reimanns have a home in Medfield, Mass.

The Academic Coup of the Year award goes to Dean and Nancy Denny Kellogg, who both received M.D. degrees last May from UTHSCSA, (try The University of Texas Health Science, Center at San Antonio.) Nancy '78 has embarked on a pediatrics residency and Dean on a Ph.D. program in physiology, both at UTHSCSA.

An August postcard from Nora Odendahl relates that she received her Ph.D. in English from Princeton University last June and planned to spend the fall traveling in England.

Lastly, a long distance phone call of sorts arrived from lan Frank. The good doctor was flying at approximately 36,000 feet above Minnesota on his way from Philadelphia to Anchorage. His eventual destination appeared to be Nome, Alaska. The connection over the airplane phone resembled a typical Sprint hookup - echoing and background fuzz with a few crying kids thrown in. The gist of the message, other than to say hello, was that lan was searching for a very different place to practice medicine. It seems he had grown tired of Philadelphia cheese steaks, "Rocky" films, and alumni dues notices. Nome was on his list, at least partially because he had heard that their clinic intramural hockey team had an opening on the third-string lunch line. Lan, your sense of adventure is admirable. If he calls on the return flight, presuming that he returns, it will duly be noted here.

Till December. .
