1957

Dana Redman, pictured here, has received the Cable Advertising Bureau's President's Award for his contribution to the Bureau's activities and advisory board. Dana is the vice president of research and measurement at ESPN, where he has been since 1980. ESPN will be recognized by many as the nation's largest cable network specializing in sports coverage.

Andy Elsbree has survived two takeovers of his Camus, Wash., paper operation: first by James Goldsmith and subsequently by James River. His brother,

Gene '55, has not been so lucky, and lost his public relations/government affairs job at Saga Foods, when that company was taken over by Marriott. He hopes that he will be able to stay in the San Francisco Bay area.

Harvey Epstein may have to change some details of the operation of his company, Pace Management Services Corporation. Pace manages real estate properties, principally hotels, for investor groups, who will be affected by the new tax legislation. In the meantime he has given up running and answered to a higher call of rowing a one-man shell on Long Island Sound for exercise. He also does all kinds of chores for Dartmouth. Recently he, Bob Smith, Clyde Brownstone, and Adam Block met in New York for lunch with Hanny Mason to work on the Alumni Fund drive. He and Adam were 1957's representatives at the New York Alumni Fund telethon.

Bill and Peggy Breer's daughter, Elizabeth, graduated this year from Mercersburg Academy, where Walter Burgin is headmaster.

Note the fine photo of Phil Anderson and Bob Baehr celebrating their 50th birthday in Europe. Phil says that this trip recreated their initial grand tour of 1956, but this time with wives Mudge Anderson and Inger Baehr. Where did they go? Why the Andersons flew to Dubrovnik from Rhode Island, meeting the Baehrs, who were coming from Norway. They then swung down to Greece, where the accompanying photo was taken.

Brad and Diann Gorham spent a couple of days on Nantucket this summer with John and Suzy Brennan. Brad claims John finds it necessary to come East each summer now to catch up on culture and civilization not available in the Milwaukee area. Brad is thriving in his law practice and politics; he is still the Rhode Island Assembly's minority leader, but with more companionship than before: Republicans are now in the offices of governor, secretary of state, and attorney general. Moreover, representative St. Germain (Democrat) is having problems with the House Ethics Committee.

Finally, greater love hath no classmate: who would have thought years ago on the Hanover Plain that Dave Sandborg would be defending Dave Clements in a civil suit in a San Jose California courtroom, but that is exactly what is happening as we go to press. It seems some shareholders of a local company are upset at Dave Clements and his part of Arthur Andersen for not discovering the $1.2 million embezzlement by the controller of a small Arthur Anderson client. Picky, picky, picky. Dave Sandborg is the trial lawyer, and if he is not successful, we may need volunteers for a "Clemency for Clements Committee." Dave is a civic leader and deserves to be returned to a useful role in society. His many good works include helping Tom Donahoe's standout Dartmouth son, John, find summer employment between years at Stanford Business School. Hang tough, Dave!
