1974

A hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all. The crows above the forest call; Tomorrow they may form and go. A hushed October morning mild, Begin the hours of this day slow.

—From "October" by Robert Frost

I asked Jim Tillson '72 to write my column this month because I am stuck in a lengthy trial (four to six weeks) in Dekalb County, Ga. The defendants are charged with "fixing" D.U.I, tickets by stealing files. The State of Georgia is calling 256 witnesses to prove it.

Anyway, I asked Tillson to write the column because he is a gifted writer with loads of energy and a vivid imagination. I remember seeing him at the Dartmouth Princeton game in 1975. He was tracing the whereabouts of F. Scott Fitzgerald on the campus. Tillson now resides in San Rafael, Calif., where he is overseeing a building project, attempting to get his own home on the historical register, and planning to marry a women named Skipper in December.

He reports that Casey Vear '72 has returned from Thailand and is married with two young children. Peter Kneisel '72 is working for the C.I. A. in Thailand and we don't know if he'll ever return. Hill Blackett (Buzz) is practicing law in Berkeley, Calif., is married to a lawyer and has a son Hill Blackett IV.

Back in the class of 1974, congratulations to Stevan Sandberg, who was recently named senior vice president, secretary, and general counsel of Cushman & Wakefield, Inc.

Steve has also been an associate in the real estate department at Shearman & Sterling in Manhattan. Steve received his J.D. from Harvard Law School. He resides in Park Ridge, N.J., with his wife and two children.
