1957

Unless there is a classmate out there who is a late bloomer, I am ready to concede our Captain of Industry award to Phil Lippincott; he has been elected one of the 20 directors of Exxon, which in normal times is the world's largest corporation. Phil is still CEO of Scott Paper. His long list of outside activities includes being a member of the board of overseers for Wharton. Congratulations!

Also to Dick Duncan, who has been made chief administrative officer of Time magazine. He began as an editorial trainee in Time's Washington bureau 24 years ago. In announcing his promotion, Editor-in-Chief Henry Grunwald had the following to say: "Dick's sharp news judgment and leadership have earned him the professional respect and personal affection of his colleagues around the world. He is a journalist's journalist."

Dick Reilly has come out of early retirement and is again active in his paddletennis court business. A recent full-page ad in the Alumni Magazine showed a Reilly court on top of a desert mesa with the headline, "Reilly will install courts almost everywhere!"

Accompanying this column is a great picture of Wayne Andrus celebrating his 50th birthday in Middletown, Conn.; attending were his father, Oliver '28 (who died in October 1985), his mother, wife Cindy, and three children, including Bruce '83. They also sent a photo of classmate Ken Burton and wife Bessie.

I also received a fine shot of JoeStevenson, Chuck Winslow, and BillBreer taken in Tokyo shortly before our classmates were persuaded to render "Men of Dartmouth" for the 50 assembled guests. Bill (U.S. Embassy) and Chuck (Arthur Andersen) live in Tokyo; Joe was visiting with the Boston Symphony, for whom he is in charge of raising funds.

Randy Patterson sent a fine letter from Hawaii where he is in charge of Diamond Shamrock's Thermal Power Company. His letter reminisces about the changes over the years and is being sent to TomSchwartz for the class newsletter. The day following his birthday Randy brought in a new geothermal steam field on the big island of Hawaii. This is part of his efforts to make the U.S. energy-independent.

Anyone who doesn't believe one man can make a difference should consider the career of Marty Anderson: what Voltaire did to religion in France and Harriet Beecher Stowe did to slavery in the U.S., Marty has done to a number of public policy issues, including urban renewal, the volunteer draft, a balanced budget amendment, and now missile defense

systems (SDI). Recently I heard Marty on radio giving a talk to the San Francisco Commonwealth Club on SDI. He has an excellent radio voice with a strong New England accent. He convinced me, but then I have had the same experience as he and Ronald Reagan: visiting NORAD headquarters and discovering that we currently can't stop even a single missile launched by a terrorist or accidentally. Ataboy, Marty!

Those hot dog AD's are at it again; the Midwestern chapter got together in Chicago recently for a weekend of heavy carousing. Present were Mike and BarbaraBattles, Larry and Beverly Blades, Johnand Suzy Brennan, Athan and BonnieMertis, Bob Margolan, Hanny Mason, and Ted and Judy Spetnagle. Ted was kind enough to send me a deliberately vague account of the event in exchange for a promise to promote his next event as social chairman, which is the DartmouthNavy game in Baltimore on October 3-5, 1986. This will be the biggest class minireunion activity prior to our next major reunion. Ted and Dick Sunderland are knocking themselves out to make sure the weekend is a memorable one. Anybody who has not made a reservation by the time this article appears and would like to attend should contact Ted in Cincinnati. It promises to be a super weekend with the football game, a boat trip to Annapolis, and a class cocktail party and dinner. In the meantime have a great summer!
