After careers in banking and public relations, the Reverend C. Read Heydt entered the Virginia Theological Seminary (Episcopal), graduated in 1979, and went back to Toledo, Ohio, as an assistant rector fo Christ Church Episcopal at Hudson, Ohio, which he describes as a delightful Western Reserve colonial village southeast of Cleveland. He writes that "[lt's] hard to realize that I suffered my midlife crisis ten years ago . . . and joined the Church . . . I'm divorced, the father of two sons, Charlie (8) and Michael (5). Both were with me in Hanover in August visiting Dr. Dudley Weider '60."

As he mentioned in our 25th reunion yearbook, Dann Lewis has had an interesting career spanning such endeavors as resort development (18 years) and a twoyear fling as deputy commissioner for commerce in New York State, where he directed the"I Love New York" tourism campaign. Dann reports that as a consultant back in November 1985, and at the urging of wife Sherry, who was its director of interline development, he joined Resort Commuter, a pre-operating commuter airline based in Orange County, Calif. He says that the company, whose business address is in Costa Mesa, started scheduled service to Los Angeles in January 1986, and in September 1986, signed an agreement with TWA to become a "Trans World Express" carrier. Dann reports with notable enthusiasm that he and Sherry are both very busy building a new regional airline!

John Chilson is still practicing law in his hometown of Loveland, Colo. He writes that he lost his right hand in an accident a little over a year ago, and is now trying to write and think right-brained. He is excited about having formed a new firm in January - Chilson, Stanton, Kaufman and Strasburger - specializing in litigation, real estate, and water matters. John has two high-schoolers, one of whom is a published poet.

In Denver, Shelton T. "Chip" Fisher continues to enjoy the retirement upon which he embarked five years ago. He plays racquetball three times a week. He navigated an 18-foot Boston whaler boat with an open/outboard motor between Florida and Connecticut in 1985 and down the Mississippi from St. Louis to New Orleans last October. He writes that "I finally got divorced in Feburary (1986) after a four-year wait," and is enjoying dating again and living alone in an apartment with no lawn.

Mike Nolen owns and operates a successful business in consulting and executive recruitment in Boston. He was recently honored by being named a trustee at his alma mater, the Williston Northampton School in Easthampton, Mass., and by being named a director of the Waterville Valley (N.H.) Center for the Arts, where he and wife, Deborah Ann, have a second home.

Doug Wheeler has been invited to be the editor of the first Historical Dictionaryof Portugal in the English language by Greenwood Press, Westport, Conn., a four or five year project. He continues to teach mocjern history at UNH, Durham, and recently his commemorative poem was published in a history of Durham volume. Classmates will recall Doug wrote the class poem "Fifty-Nine Remembers," for the 25th reunion; and read it at the Class Banquet.

Dave Marr, who holds a highly responsible administrative teaching position in the field of history at The Australian National University in Canberra, writes that he works each year in the colonial archives in Aix-en-Provence, France, and would welcome contact with other Dartmouth types in those areas. He comments: "It seems I've reached the point in my career where people conspire to saddle one with more and more administrative duties, leaving less and less time for creative expression." Perhaps with tongue in cheek, he adds: "Or do we allow this to happen as we run short of things to say? Of course, the last thing we wish to admit is that 'old age' has anything to do with it!" Dave says he has been enjoying reading the Alumni Magazine . . . "although some of the ongoing polemics (e.g., the Indian symbol) strike me as pathetic in this world of war, famine, andp pestilence." (Ed. note: To grasp the full significance of the latter comment, the reader should know that Dave has written some in-depth, scholarly books on Vietnam, its culture and traditions, as pointed out in our October 1984 column.)

At page 61 of the June 1986 issue of TheAmerican Bar Association Journal appears an ad for a new estate tax calculation program which boasts, with apparent good reason, that it "can reduce your next Form 706 calculations from hours of drudgery to a few minutes of computer wizardry." Even after Philadelphia lawyer Sam Swansen called it to my attention, I mislaid my copy of that issue, or I would have reported much sooner that the innovator behind this new program is JohnMay, another Philadelphia lawyer. Any of you shylocks out there who do enough of these to matter would do well to read the ad. The company is Circalc, 350 Richardson Drive, Lancaster, PA 17603. The toll free number is 1-800-327-3148 (in Pennsylvania, 1-800-522-4023).
