1972

This month it can be truly said that my cup ranneth over. Quite a few people wrote, and it is clear that as we approach our 15th reunion, we are starting to get good at what we are doing.

Jim Rubens wrote from Hanover where he and his wife, Sue Locke, have opened Kaleidoscope, a shop Jim describes as a .showcase in northern New England for superb work in media other than paintings. The shop carries goods ranging from solid brass door hardware to handmade contemporary furniture. Items must have both aesthetic and utilitarian value, and it is apparent that the selection of merchandise is varied and fits the simple criterion of functional and aesthetic durability.

Alan Unis has recently relocated to Salt Lake City, where he is completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Utah. Alan's research is aimed at discovering which stimulative drugs attach themselves to which brain areas. These drugs are used in the treatment of hyperactive kids, and their action is incompletely understood. Alan sends news of John Bryan and Jim Smith. John is working for IBM in New York, and Jim is wrapping up his teaching and graduate work at the University of Rhode Island. I think that maybe when we get together for our 50th reunion, we will be all done with our schooling. Maybe. Alan also is curious regarding the whereabouts of Fred Buck.

Shel Prentice sent in his report of the minireunion after the Harvard game last fall, and we had about 35 classmates turn out for that one. Most of the following came from the missive Shel sent. John Mcgrew is an attorney for Wilke, Farr, and Gallagher, practicing in their Washington, D.C., office. MikeTurner is clerking for a judge in Boston, and it seems that sometimes the judge has to edit the opinions to get the puck out. BrookMcCann works for Merrill Lynch in the Big Apple and, as I can personally testify, plays a mean game of squash. Joe Fallon and DaveRath are two of the three practicing attorneys in Hinesburg, Vt. Don Hooper still lives in Lynn, Mass., and still works at GE. Chip Carstensen played tag with a taxi in NYC, but he recovered and was in fine form for the class meeting this month at the Yale Club. Jim Nicotri made the trip from Baltimore. Laurie Lieberman now works in Exeter, N.H., as an investment banker with Burgeois Fils (I hope I got that right). Dennis Cronin practices law in Boston, representing the interests of the handicapped at the Mental Health Legal Advisors Committee. JohnBurke and Maureen are expecting a second child this May. Probably the longest trip was made by Jack Manning, who came all the way from Great Falls, Mont. Poor Jack also probably carries the heaviest burden of us all, with the undoubtedly lengthening trail of broken hearts strewn across the USA. PeteBroberg is practicing law in Florida. WillieAnderson, Tobey Choate, and Mike Hills were also at the Harvard game. Larry Barr also resurfaced. Although not at the game, Larry is working with the New York Public Interest Research Group at CCNY.

Chuck Leer is also in the Big Apple, work- ing in the mayor's office on real estate de- velopment matters. Dick White married Kersten last year and transformed her into a college student. Dick works for International Paper in NYC. Dwight Sargent's furniture business is apparently going well, as he now has roughly 50 employees. Joe Davis, JoeLeslie, and Bill Pollack were also there. Joe Davis is still with Arco and had just gotten back from a field trip to Nova Scota. Joe Leslie is at Penn, where his boys whupped up on the Big Green this year. Maybe he could work his magic for the Green sometime. Sunshine has started an oil and gas drilling company with Trevor Reece Jones '73. So far not much luck in attracting money due to no track rec- ord, but with a name like Hanover Energy, how can you go wrong. Ed Wisneski has earned his stripes lately as director of public relations for the Philadelphia Eagles. SteveKepes is in charge of tax shelters for PruBache in Atlanta. Jack Brookes is practicing law in his home town of Moline, 111. Gary Berman is in real estate development in the Baltimore area. Jim White, aka J. Watt, practices law in the Boston office of La Boeuf, Lamb, Leiby, and MacRae. Also in attendance were DaveAbbot, who is these days a free-lance writer, and Steve Mahlum, who is with a software firm in New Hampshire.

Needless to say, it was quite a Harvard game.
