1951

Chuck Fryer sends the following update and invitation to all '51s and Dartmouth people to his and June's lovely allyear-round Chestnut House for bed, breakfast, and camaraderie while over-looking Camden Harbor in Maine:

"Dear Dave," he wrote, "I was sorry to miss your call. As June probably explained, I was on an ice-fishing jaunt to Moosehead Lake. (One of the unexpected bonuses of this wonderful place.) The enclosed brochure will tell you about Camden and Chestnut House, but a few words are in order about how we got here.

"After Tuck and the Air Force, I joined Young and Rubicam and proceeded to spend the next 31 years engaged in man's highest calling - trying to sharpen the purchasing acuity of that-little old lady in Peoria. When boredom finally settled in and the urge for a 'second life' became unquenchable, we sold our house in Wilton, Conn., and moved up to this truly idyllic community. We love it - and only wish we'd done it sooner. In addition to being Maine's prettiest seacoast village, it is probably the only one that stays lively the year round - fueled by a great mix of people, from intellectuals to lobstermen. One of our three boys (the Dartmouth one) is nearby, plying the legal trade in Portland. Our middle son (who has produced the only grandbaby so far) is a marketing executive at Time Inc. The youngest is a territory manager with Duracell.

"So all is well in this part of the world. We'd love to see any '51s who have the good judgement to venture to these parts The natives (including Indians) are extremely friendly. Cheers, Chuck."

Enclosed with Chuck's letter was an attractive brochure describing Camden's treasured seacoast location and that most inviting Dutch Colonial Inn. All you have to do is dial 207/236-6137 to reserve a hideaway in one of New England's most attractive but culturally active and scenic coastal villages.

The following note was just received from Bill Beasley in Vicksburg, Mich.: "My daughter, Faith Beasley, has been appointed to the faculty at Dartmouth. She will be teaching French, and if she completes her requirements for the Ph.D., she will be an assistant professor. She does expect to complete the requirements, otherwise her rank will be instructor. She is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, having received her B.A. in French, and she is now finishing her Ph.D. at Princeton. She has also studied in France and received a Fulbright Scholarship upon her graduation from Mount Holyoke, spending the year in France before beginning at Princeton. She will begin teaching at Dartmouth this fall. Needless to say, I am extremely pleased at her appointment. I'm looking forward to seeing you and others at the reunion."

Mike Heyman, chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley, and Trustee of Dartmouth, was elected last December a member of the Pacific Gas and Electric board of directors. Mike has been a member of the Berkeley faculty since 1959. Named vice chancellor in 1974 and chancellor in 1980, he continues to hold professor rank as professor of law and professor of city and regional planning. He served in the Marine Corps from 1951 to 1953, then attended Yale Law School where he earned a doctor of law degree in 1956. Mike practiced law in New York City and served as law clerk to the chief judge of the Court of Appeals for the second Circuit and as chief law clerk to then U.S. Supreme Chief Justice Earl Warren from 1958 to 1959. In November he was elected chair for 1986 of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges. He also is a trustee of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights under Law.
