1959

Jack Lindsay, who retired from the United States Navy with the rank of commander in January 1984, now owns a small plastics manufacturing firm in Fort Wayne, Ind. He says that Dave Viscott, a California psychiatrist (whose publications were described in our March 1985 class column) has lectured in Fort Wayne twice and is featured on local radio there. Jack thinks that Fort Wayne is a great town but laments that "there are few Dartmouth folks here."

Lou Lazar writes from Woodbury, Conn., that he recently windsurfed with Skip Clark '57. Lou, who earned his M.B.A. at Stanford in 1962, is a successful financial executive with the American International Group in New York City. He is also a member of the class of 1959's executive committee. Lou says that he, his wife, and two children are all healthy and happy and that the family's holiday skiing was limited to "the neighboring woods."

Al Munro says that his business consulting firm, Greenwich Associates, has grown to 130 employees in its 12th year and that 170 of the largest financial firms consult his firm on matters relating to business strategy. His oldest daughter, Robin, who graduated from St. Lawrence University last fall, is a sales representative with Procter & Gamble, prompting Al to remark that, although his other daughters, Laura and Becca, will no doubt attend college as well, "there is light at the end of the tuition tunnel." Al says he sees a number of Dartmouth grads in his job and that not too long ago among them was Bill Sweet, who is an executive vice president with the Bank of California.

Also in California is Herb Schoenberg, litigation counsel for CBS in Los Angeles. Herb has visited his daughter, Jill '89, on a number of occasions and says he "con to marvel at the way the heart of the college (Baker, the Green, Dartmouth Row, McNutt, etc.) remains basically unchanged after all these years." Says Herb, "It's as if one can always return and never feel out of place." Herb reports that daughter Jill writes for The Dartmouth and loves college life.

Martin Hauptman, M.D., writes from Hicksville, N.Y., that he is director of pediatrics at St. John's Hospital, assistant professor of pediatrics at the State University of New York at Stonybrook, and president of the Smithtown (New York) Pediatric Group, P.C. Martin married Ellen in 1963, and the couple has three children: Jodi, a senior at Princeton; Matthew, a freshman at the University of Colorado; and Andrew, a junior at Smithtown High. Martin says he saw Bob Josefsberg at a recent wedding. When Bob responded to the request for information for our 25th reunion yearbook, he indicated that he was a partner in a Miami law firm and had four children who, at the time, were all away at school; the oldest is his daughter, Amy '84.

Dick Sanders earned his M.A. at Hollins College in Virginia in 1960 and his Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in 1965. For most of the past decade, he has enjoyed the private practice of psychology in Monroe, N.H., 45 miles north of Hanover. The focus of his practice is on industry, with special emphasis on stress management and retirement preparation for upper level managers. A former national Masters bronze medalist in the Luge, he remarks: "Skeleton Riding and Luge are seldom achieved but often thought of these days." He says that visitors are always welcome to the hospitality of his farm in North Monroe.

Jerry Robinson writes from a little closer to Hanover in Canaan, N.H., that he has been a free-lance magazine writer and photographer for the past 20 years, mostly for Sports Afield magazine. He says that his wife, Sherry, travels with him as a photographer on assignments all over North America and occasionally overseas.

From his home in the southeastern part of the state, Durham, Paul Matusow writes that he has been practicing ophthalmology for the past 14 years in nearby Exeter. His oldest son, Jeff, was among the applicants for the class of 1990. In the past few years, Paul has seen HarveyGalper, who indicated at reunion time that he was a senior fellow with the Brookings Institution, and Art Knight.

"Cliff" Lamberg-Karlovsky is the director of Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. The February 4, 1989, "Science Times" section of TheNew York Times carried a fascinating discussion of whether it is possible, on the archaeological time chart, that the Queen of Sheba visited Israel's King Solomon, as related in the Book of Kings, Chapter X, "with camels, bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stones." The thrust of the article was that there has been a long-standing debate among scholars as to whether Sheba and its biblical queen existed at the time of Solomon. Solomon ruled Israel in the 10th century B.C., which was three centuries earlier than the oldest known remains of Sheba's highest civilization. James A. Sauer, a University of Pennsylvania archaeologist, has headed an archaeological project in the area of ancient Sheba for the past five years. Recent excavations have yielded broken pottery and a piece of timber, radiocarbon tests on which indicate, according to the author of the Times article, that they "were from the 13th century B.C." Dr. Sauer is quoted as hypothesizing that when these findings are combined with those of "recent excavations in Saudi Arabia which are older than the 10th century B.C., they demolish the idea that South Arabian civilization is too young to have sent a queen to Jerusalem." Cliff is quoted in the article as viewing Dr. Sauer's work with "constructive skepticism." In the process of radiocarbon testing, traces of carbon 14, a natural radioactive isotope of carbon, are used to determine the age of fossil and archaeological remains. Cliff is quoted as having voiced the opinions that the carbon 14 dating in this case was "very tenuous"; that there is no hard information on the relations between the sites of the recent excavations and Sheba; and that there is little data to link the area with camels and camel caravans.

Exploring a much colder clime than Dr. Sauer was Bob Sands, who, along with a handful of other brave souls, embarked upon a canoe trip down Canada's Hood River into the Arctic Ocean in August 1983 (as we reported in our January/February 1985 class column). National Geographic's January 1986 issue portrays in vivid color the details of Bob's wilderness trek, during which relics of the first (1821) Canadian expedition of Sir John Franklin were found.
