1968

Hats off to Ed Heald for putting a program of mini-reunions together,. Picture yourself, family, and friends skiing together at the Skiway under crystal-blue skies with new powder snow over your boots. Change scenes, and you are sitting by the fire enjoying a hearty meal at the Hanover Inn. Sound inviting? That was the planned scenario for the March weekend, until warm spring-rains dashed those plans and only Frank Couper,Mark Waterhouse, and Ed managed the trip north, where they did enjoy a meal together and made some exciting plans for the June 22-23 weekend. Ed promises a sunny day and a lovely location at an eastern private school. The morning will be devoted to a Dartmouth update with speakers from the College. For you computer buffs, there will be a demonstration of the Macintosh computer, which is now available at a discount to the students. Ed is trying to arrange a phone tie-in to Kiewit in Hanover to demonstrate the marvels of the campus-wide computer network. The afternoon will be devoted to a chicken barbeque, fun, and sun. Mark your calendars now!

Here are some other dates to remember: October 12 at Hanover for the Colgate football weekend and November 23 for a tailgate party before the Penn game (away). Please let Ed know if you can help with the planning and set-up.

The February 17 New York Times described life at the Trapp Family Lodge at Stowe, Vt. John Dostal, director of the touring center, was extensively quoted describing the terrain and lessons available at the East's premier cross-country ski area. John also edits and writes for Cross-Country Skiing, necessitating a commute between Stowe and New York.

Some older but still newsworthy items surfaced from beneath a pile of correspondence this week. Sorry about the delay.

Andy Saxon is practicing medicine in Santa Monica. He writes of wife Gaye and daughter Katie visiting relatives in New Zealand in 1984 while he was on a business trip. They gained a second daughter, Robin, and a boat called The Moby Kate last summer. Rumor has it that Andy is currently in New Zealand on sabbatical.

Cedric Kam, Betsy, Allison, and Chris are now down in Avon, Conn. Cedric is an investment officer in the real estate division of Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company with a territory from New England to Oklahoma and Texas. He has been playing trombone in the Farmington Valley Band while Betsy is singing, studying, and "doing Mary Kay cosmetics."

Parker Beverage will return home to Maine when he becomes dean of admissions and financial aid at Colby College in Waterville. Parker's academic career began when he returned to Dartmouth in 1973 following four years in the navy, including time as naval operations instructor at the Naval Officer Candidate School in Newport, R.I. After two years as assistant to the director of admissions at Dartmouth, he moved west to Stanford where he completed a master's in educational administration while working as associate dean of admissions. Parker, Anne, and daughters Clare and Emily will move to Waterville this summer.

Keep those letters rolling in, and I'll try to see that they don't get buried. See you on the weekend of June 22.
