1959

Stu Hanson writes that he and Gail, along with Barb and Rod Anderson, recently enjoyed reminiscing with Dartmouth types a year our junior. Barb and Tom Mcßurney '60 hosted a dinner for 30th year reunionists at Johnson High School (St. Paul, Minn.). The guests included Tom Wahman '60 and Ryan Ostebo '60. Stu reports that he himself has been elected president of the Park Nicollet Medical Foundation, which he describes as the research and education arm of the Park Nicollet Medical Center. His comments: "The position allows enough time to continue a part-time medical practice in pulmonary disease. My volunteer project is to get the State of Minnesota to stop smoking. We are starting with the health care industry and plan to have a smoke free hospital system by 1990." Both quite ambitious goals, Stu! But if anybody can reach them, we're sure you can.

Another physician located further west, Walter A. ("Terry") Ceranski, took office last month as president of the Arizona Academy of Family Physicians. Terry's wife, Cathy, works as his office nurse. Son Terry is a senior and a finance major at Arizona State University (did you get tickets to the Rose Bowl, Terry, Sr.?), son Tom is at Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College; and son Chris is in eighth grade.

Still another physician located closer by is John Payne, who is chief of anesthesiology at Howard County General Hospital, which he describes as "a small but excellent institution in Columbia, Md." John's wife, Grace, is a part-time nurse and their four boys, in descending order of age, are enrolled in schools as follows: John (UVA), Chris (Duke), Tony (Mt. Hermon), and Pat (Glenelg Day).

Another professional, Rupert Schneider, a lawyer in Battle Mountain, Nev., belatedly reports that on May 24, 1985, he married Sharron Bruce of Albany, N.Y. Rupert renews the invitation he extended in the May '85 column to classmates to "drop in" when out his way: "So, with a new lease on life, we await those migratory Dartmouth travelers in north central Nevada on 1-80, between Elko and Winnemuca." His address is 101-G Carson Road, Box 152-6, Battle Mountain, NV 89820, and his office phone is 702/6352845.

Back in October, Dick and Polly Sameth moved into a "new/old" home in Mantaloking, N.J., which they had been renovating over a period of some eight months (954 Barnegat Lane, 08738). In November, he moved the headquarters of his family pest control business from West Orange, N.J. to 30 Lanidex Plaza West, Parsippany, N.J. With "two out of college and two to go," Dick says his new home has plenty of extra guest rooms which are available to visiting '59s. You can reach him on 201/899-1480 at home or on 201/738-8006 at the office.

Speaking of rooms, Don and MargaretAdams note that their "bed and breakfast inn," the "Rose Garden Farm Inn," is now open for central Pennsylvania travelers. They are located in Mechanicsburg, Pa., where they can be reached on 717/ 697-3653 (home) or on 717/697-6727 (office). As you know, Don, my agency has a facility up there if I get up that way, I'll give you a call!

John Wardrop, president of Sparks Belting Company in Grand Rapids, Mich., was named president of the National Industrial Belting Association, his industry's trade association, for 1987. His wife of 20 years, Maribeth, owns three gift stores and is working on her master's degree in business administration. They have two sons, the eldest of whom is a freshman at Denison University.

Jack Lampe, who earned his M.A. in political science at the University of Chicago in 1964, has been an instructor of government at Southwest Texas Junior College in Uvalde, Tex., for the past 16 years. His wife, Carolyn, who has her master's degree in education from Sam Houston State University, teaches Spanish at SWTJC. Jack and Gordon Roeder have corresponded over the years, and Jack reports that Gordon received his Ph.D. in English from the University of Oregon in Eugene, Ore. The subject of Gordon's dissertation was a comparative study of Melville and Hemingway. Gordon teaches English at a community college branch of North Dakota State University in Bottineau, N.D. He and wife Susan have two sons, Mark, 12, and Benjamin, nine.

Class president Peter Jaffe mentioned his having encountered Dave Kinzel at a speech given by President McLaughlin at the Yale Club in New York.
