1955

Change is constant if something constant can be ever changing. So it is with classmates.

Ted Chadbourne, in Bethel, Maine, sold his part of the family lumber business to his brother and is now acting as a consultant for the business (nice approach) and enjoying life with a greater perspective.

Once you have proven yourself in one endeavor, there always seems to be that challenge to be on to something else either within the same organization or in a totally different activity. A 1 Van Huyck has taken the latter approach. He will retire from the presidency of his consulting firm, PADCO, Inc., this July after 22 years. He will continue as a visiting faculty member at MIT as he considers the opportunities available as a result of his long experience in international consulting. Living in Washington, D.C., tends to keep one adjusted to change.

It must be catching because Cyril Muromcew, who also lives in Washington, retired this past summer from the foreign service. His initial effort at retirement was short-lived, because the government called him back to go to Geneva in September for the disarmament talks. Cy met with Ron Murphy and Dave Conlon, who he suggests are both looking great and doing well. Cy indicates that he is now back in Washington interviewing for Dartmouth and managing wintertime in the nation's capital. (That might be a bigger challenge than most anything else.) Tom Lord indicates that his life is now just the way he wants it. Having been successful, he is now retired to the comforts and pleasures of his home in Mission Viejo, Calif.

Ed Chapman in New York City took an early retirement from AT&T after 25 years in the large company corporate culture to start his new business, Sextant Communications. He plans a special focus on exhibit marketing, the subject in which he has some expertise. McGraw-Hill will publish his book Exhibit Marketing: A Survival Guide for Managers in 1987.

Larry Nadler, who lives in Westmount, Quebec, Canada is watching change through his son Matthew's eyes, now a freshman on the Hanover Plain. Even vicariously the experience is interesting (even eventful). Larry is busy consulting for consumer product companies with their marketing, business strategy, and organization both in Canada and the United States. Len Kogan in Potomac, Md, remains busy as one of our many talented class doctors. "His tennis has suffered because of a lot of doctoring." Len indicates that his son John hopes to join him in the medical field as he prepares to head off towards college.

Bill Anagnoson, another doctor, lives in Silver Spring, Md., and sails his 30-foot Bayliner in the Delaware Bay when not teaching and counseling. "All Dartmouth grads are invited to try their luck at fishing and crabbing just bring 50 gallons of gasoline." (Our class doctors do seem to select the nicest places to live.)

The Alumni Council is to be complimented for their insight and perception for having nominated Joe Mathewson to be a Trustee of the College. When we know something all along, it's always some satisfaction when others recognize it and, better yet, take action as a result.

Perhaps the greatest enjoyment is not changing at all. Norm and Joan Fine take great pleasure in fox hunting. (This is where you get on top of a horse and let a dog OK, Norm, a hound do your heavy work for you. No guns here, only horns and the exhilaration of trying to outwit a fox who obviously spends more time at outwitting the pack and field than the other way around.) The Fines spend the season hunting both with the Norfolk Hunt in Massachusetts and the Blue Ridge Hunt in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. There they met up with Wilt Sogg '56, hoping to chase that same fox, or in this case, following four foxes over a four and a half hour period with lots of galloping over big open fields. Not to worry, animal lovers. Norm assures us that all the foxes, horses, and riders returned home safely.

Some things just never do change. Nor should they.
