There's a bit or egg on my face after the September column. Don Miller writes that Lifespan Plus coauthor Julian is Dartmouth '67 and a brother, not a son. Not knowing Don had a brother, I misinterpreted Sigmund Miller's reference to "son Julian." Sorry about the confusion. Don also notes that his new novel, The DarkLady, about Shakespeare's love affair with the mysterious "Dark Lady of the Sonnets," has been optioned by Filmline Productions of Montreal for 1987 production.

Dikkon Eberhart writes that Rosalind Beatrice was born March 15 and "smiles and coos now as required." She joins Lena, eight, James, six, and Samuel, one and a half, all of whom have been preenrolled at Dartmouth by Granddad. Dikkon also notes that he has returned to writing, submitting theology manuscripts to his publishing company for fall 1987 publication.

Chuck Adams continues practicing international law with Jones, Day, Reavis and Pogue but will be leaving Washington in January to head a new office in Geneva, Switzerland. Anyone for a ski trip?

A newsy card arrived from Bob Tarr, the only classmate to experience coeducation directly. He dropped out of Dartmouth in 1966, spent 1974-1975 at the College, and returned to graduate in 1982. In the interval, he spent eight years as a machinist in Springfield, Vt. He returned to Oregon in 1984 to teach "Machine Tools" at Clatson Community College in Astoria. He is completing an M.A. in math at the University of Washington in order to teach the subject at Clatson. He married wife Jan in 1985.

Bob also notes that classmate MikeSprando is alive and well in Portland, Ore., and that Doug Young hangs his professorial hat in the economics department at Montana State University at Bozeman. Bob plans to make the trip east for the 20th reunion.

Finally, I have an answer to the burning question, what was Charlie Gay doing on an elephant in Nepal? He writes that he went to Nepal with the Peace Corps in 1969-1970, working on mountain technology, and has been in love with the mountains since. For the last four years,, he's been leading treks into the Himalayas for Mountain Travel. Charlie lives in Kathmandu with wife Pam Ross, Wellesley '68, and son Forrest, six, for nine months each year and races sailboats in the San Francisco bay area each summer.

Charlie is putting together a series of treks to the Mt. Everest region expressly for alumni and their families during the upcoming year. Look for ads in the Alumni Magazine or contact Charlie, c/o U.S. Embassy, Kathmandu, Nepal. Anyone for a hike?
