1952

Rabbi Marshall Meyer spoke in Hanover last November as part of the Ziskind Series of lectures presented by the William Jewett Tucker Foundation. According to the Dartmouth, Marsh delivered an emotional talk, outlining the human rights violations by Argentina's military government from 1976 to 1983. Now he is the Special Counsel to the Chancellor, Jewish Theological Seminary of America, but for over 25 years he lived in Argentina, where he founded the Latin American Rabbinical Seminary, the only one of its kind in Latin America. He also oversaw the construction of a temple for his seminary. His talk covered the frightening realities of life in Argentina during the military regime, the botched war over the Falklands, and skyrocketing inflation, all forces which led to the demise of the military and election in 1983 of President Raul Alfonsin, whom he described as an intelligent statesman. According to the Dartmouth, Meyer was critical of the typical United States view of Latin America and warned of the possibilities of South America falling into the Soviet camp if the current administration's policies continue. During my own family's six-month stay in Buenos Aires in the mid-19605, we acquired first-hand knowledge of the tremendous work Marsh had already accomplished in that city.

I had the pleasure of lunch with NormLogan recently. Norm is a senior vice president at Keystone Massachusetts Group, the investment company complex headed by George Bissell '51. He shared with me the first half year of freshman experiences of his twin boys who chose separate colleges - Lake Forest and Eckert. Norm and Dusty's daughter, Debbie '84, is a loan officer at Bank of Boston.

Congratulations, Wey Lundquist, on the interesting article in the December issue of the Alumni Magazine about the meeting in Hanover last September of 20 Soviet lawyers with 20 United States lawyers. Sounds like it was a productive effort to learn about our respective judicial processes.

Occasionally the work at Price Waterhouse puts me in touch with fellow partner Bob Jahrling, a big gun in the firm as a member of the policy board and head of our international department. The last of Bob and Gretchen's five kids will leave the nest for college this year. Son Bob '79 is practicing law with a Boston firm. Although based in New York, Bob travels a great deal around the world. My last attempt to track him down caught him in Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, and London.

Charlie Clough's name continues in the news. He was named recently to the additional post of chairman of Nashua Corporation, where he has been president for several years.

Had a note recently from George Rosenberg of Ventura, Calif., who didn't reveal much personal news, but did mention his involvement in real estate and his book, The Buyer's Broker Registry, which is a part of a directory called Who'sWho in Creative Real Estate. Sure George would welcome '52 contact in the Ventura area.
