1955

The coming of spring means many things to many people, depending upon your point of view. The skiers have to give it up, but the golfers are delighted. Presumably the tuition bills are paid for the school year, but the IRS is close at hand.

For Nick Kotz, adding another career unto his many, spring is the birthing of calves, the taming of bulls, and seeing to the vitamin and mineral needs of a small but growing herd of Angus on his farm in Broad Run, Va. As his wife, Mary Lynn, writes, Nick is up to his knees in everything associated with cattle. All the while Nick is putting on nationally-televised conferences for American University (C-SPAN) on the media and its impact on various aspects of society. He is also teaching a graduate course in investigative reporting at American University and working on a new book on National Defense. (It must be nice to get back to that farm and let Mother Nature do a lot of the necessary work. Admittedly, Mother Nature always needs a little encouragement.) Nick and Mary Lynn went to France last summer, where Mary Lynn reserached for her book on Robert Rauschenberg, the painter. Their son, Jack, is a graduate of Hiram College and is a fine arts/ architectural photographer in Washington, D.C.

Further south in Atlanta, Ga., Tom Calloway is "doing fine" where he's been for the past 13 years, with the DuPont Company. This must have something to do with the fact that both of his children are out of college and working, one as a chemical engineer and the other as a school teacher.

In that land of perpetual spring of Long Beach, Calif., Chuck Greenberg combines a law practice with being a moderator for a panel discussion on the issues of Long Beach for the local cable-TV station and is very active in the local preservation society to save buildings of historical value in Long Beach.

Dartmouth talent has again been recognized, for the medical staff at Montefiore Hospital in New York elected Jerry Bernstein as its president. Jerry also serves as chairman of the Clinical Society of the New York Affiliate of the American Diabetes Associates. (All that plus a commute from Larchmont, N.Y., has got to keep Jerry busy.)

Another of our class doctors, Bob Leffert, serves as Chief of Rehabilitation Medicine and Visiting Orthopedic Surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. (Probably not such a bad commute from Chestnut Hill, as surgeons ought to have an assigned parking space.) Bob's wife, Linda, graduated from Wharton in '58 and practices law. His daught er, Lisa, graduated from Dartmouth in '84 and is an associate consultant with Bain and Company, Boston. Their son, Adam, is to graduate from Brown in 1986.

Close by in Weston is Brooks Parker, who undoubtedly sees the spring as the end of older son Brooks's stay at Dartmouth. (Spring means resume-writing time.) Brooks, along with his brother, John, class of '58, and a third partner formed Liberty Square Investments in Boston and now serves a variety of clients on money management. (If the articles published have any truth, Brooks is part of a select group of persons in a tough game who o well by being constantly under the financial gun.) Brooks's wife, Gale, who went to Wellesley, down the road, is taking up portrait photography, particularly of familieand children. (It's nice to have beauty and talent.)

Across town in Weston, Pete Buhler has been busy with financial planning seminars and counseling not only in the Boston area but in New York. He writes that Brenda (his Dartmouth daughter of '55-reunion bartending fame) has found a job with Fidelity in Boston, where she commutes every day. (It was obvious that if you can successfully handle the '55 reunion that there's no holding you back.) Pete Buhler Jr. is now in his freshman year at Hobart College in New York and delighted. Which is a subtle way of reporting on Gene Elsbree, who is the corporate vice president for communications for Saga, the food service company that started at Hobart and now is a major national food service and restaurant operation based in Menlo Park, Calif. Gene continues to be quoted, particularly in the many restaurant and food service magazines. (Is it constant spring,in Menlo Park?)
