1968

At the spring executive committee meeting, May 2-3, we plan to complete the details for the '68 class study weekend; if classmates have a suggestion for concurrent activities, drop Steve Calvert a line at the College. While calling classmates regarding the study, I gleaned the following information:

Bob and Kate Larson are happily situated in Terre Haute, Ind., where they are raising two boys. Since completing a Ph.D. in urban geography at Bloomington, Ind., Bob has been teaching urban planning at Indiana University.

Don Middleton is an M.D. in family practice, teaching full time at St. Margaret's Hospital, Pittsburgh. Don and Nancy have three children, Sara, Evan, and James, who are avid skiers.

Dave and Myra Ziegler have settled in Hinton, W.Va., where Dave practices law. He notes that life was hectic as a solo practitioner but is less so since he took in a partner in January.

A clipping from the Shattuck School newsletter, Faribault, Minn., chronicles poet Jim Provencher's career. He served as assistant headmaster at the Ridge School in Florida where his writing received the Florida Governor's Arts Award, Appalachia and Isis Annual Poetry prizes, and the Continental Army Newspaper Award for writing. Jim, now teaching at the Shattuck School, was being interviewed about his acclaimed poem "Frost's Farm: A Visit," written after a March trip through New England.

Frank Couper sent along an update on Rabbi Arnie Resnicoff, who, after the Beirut terrorist attack of 1983, worked for days comforting the wounded and dying. His report was quoted by Admiral Watkins at the Naval Academy and was read in full by President Reagan at the National Convention "Baptist Fundamentalism '84." Arnie currently serves on the staff of the Naval Chaplains School, Newport, Rhode Island, teaches at Salve Regina-Newport, and lectures on Judaism and Israel in the "Contemporary Middle Eastern Problems" course at the Naval War College. This spring he will teach an elective course at the NWC, "Faith and Force: Religion, War, and Peace."

Dave Stromeyer sent along a letter and a brochure on his work. Seems that Dave has emigrated up to Enosburg Falls, Vt., in the North Country to have enough room for the Cold Hollow Iron Works. Dave has been sculpting since college and is working primarily with steel in all shapes and sizes. His color brochure is fabulous; I'd like to have the College do a complete article so you'd all have a chance to see the flowing lines and brilliant colors' of his work. Dave married Sarah, a former dancer he met in New York City, four years ago. Although he lives only a short drive from the northern Vermont ski areas, Dave's only recent skiing was on a belated honeymoon to Europe which concluded with a side trip to Italy for pasta and a violin!

On a personal note, I sense the frustration we all feel as the disagreements and conflicts on campus are magnified by a press which gloats as it reports problems among the Ivies (witness the relish with which they pounced on sex at Brown). Despite this, students are working hard, getting an excellent education, and deserve our support during this difficult time. We may disagree with specific events and policies on campus, but our constant understanding and financial support are needed to keep Dartmouth the outstanding institution we came to love during our brief years in Hanover.
