1959

Record activity and levels in the stock market have kept William H. "Moose" Morton Jr., chairman of the Boston Stock Exchange, busy pulling the levers which keep it in motion. However, he did make it to Austria, according to the February 9, 1987 publication of Securities Week, where he captained his team's entry in the International Stock Exchange ski competition. In addition to American members Boston and New York, members from all European and Canadian exchanges competed in the weeklong event, as did, for the first time this year, members of the Sydney Stock Exchange. Not surprisingly, the exchanges from Zurich, Geneva, and Milan topped the competition. The NYSE finished sixth and Boston a respectable eighth. Moose won the trophy as the fastest skier over 50! Congratulations, Moose! That feat may very well make you the first '59 to win a "seniors" competition! It may just be true in Moose's case that some of that financial and athletic ability is inherited. We could not help noticing in the March 1987 "Give a Rouse for" column that Moose's dad, William H. Morton Sr. '32, a well-known Syracuse, N.Y., banking executive and longtime financial supporter of the College, was a recent recipient of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame's Gold Medal for 1986.

Also "given a rouse" in that column was Bostonian John Orcutt, a principal of Sasaki Associates, Inc., of Watertown, Mass. John received the Project of the Year Award from the National Association of Home Builders for his firm's project, "Village on the Green," at Sugarloaf in Maine. Upon reading this, I immediately advised John by phone to scale down on the number of awards he receives to avoid the danger of overexposure in this column. John spent six months in residence on the project, and is pleased with the amount of success he was able to achieve in blending "Village on the' Green" into the context of the existing architecture. He was featured at a dinner in Washington, D.C., by Builder magazine, presenters of the award, whose publisher is Frank Anton '70. John said that he anticipates becoming involved in an architectural project in Syracuse, N.Y., where he hopes to get in touch with "Jake" Crouthamel '60. John says that he and Jake used to share rides back to the Pittsburgh area from Hanover during college days, and that he (John) looks forward to this excuse to renew acquaintances. (Ed. note: Formerly a successful director of athletics at Dartmouth, Jake has continued in that tradition for the past several years as director of athletics at Syracuse University.)

Speaking of Pittsburgh, Craig Wisotzki indicated in our 25th reunion yearbook that in 1979 he started his own insurance brokerage firm there. He married the former Carol Dorsey, an alumna of Dickinson College and Harvard University. He updates us on the activities of his three sons as follows: Steve, 22, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1986 and is in flight training in Pensacola; Gordy, 20, who is a junior at Dickinson, spent his junior year abroad in Bologna, Italy; and Dorsey, 16, is a junior at Shadyside Academy in Fox Chapel, Pa. Craig says he continues to work to make tuition payments.

Also in the insurance business is CharleyPinkerton. Charley, whoearnedhisM.B.A. at Wharton in 1962, is vice president of his family's insurance agency, the Pinkerton Insurance Agency, Inc., in Cleveland, and a trustee of the State of Ohio Independent Insurance Agents. He married the former Elizabeth (Sue) Breckenridge, an alumna of Bennett Junior College. The couple has three sons: Robert, a 1985 graduate of the University of Rochester; Charles, Jr., University of Richmond '88; and Stewart, Vanderbilt University '90.

Dave Bell, whose first marriage ended in divorce, says there have been a lot of changes in his life. Approximately three years ago, he married his second wife, Gloria. He writes from Madison, Conn., that he is still a manufacturer's representative for architectural metal and glass products, but reports that he has been "on his own" for approximately the past two years. Dave had three children by his first marriage. He reports that his older daughter Betsy is married and starting an aerobics studio, son Jim is a tailback with two years of eligibility remaining at Boston College, and younger daughter Diana is a high school junior.

Back in January, Bob Danielson, M.D., moved into his newly built medical offices in San Luis Obispo, Calif., (1551 Bishop Street, Suite 310, 93401). Bob is a practicing general and peripheral vascular surgeon. He recently took on a new medical associate. Bob's daughters Karin and Leslie graduated from Pomona College, Claremont, Calif., and daughter Kathleen is a sophomore at Occidental College in Eagle Rock, Calif.

Dave Marshall writes as follows: "We have entered and are passing through that 'tuition' stage of life: Anne graduated from Middlebury in 1986; Jenny a freshman at Boston University; and Caroline first grade (we'll worry about her college plans the year I retire!) I have remained with Mobil Corporation since my graduation from Tuck School with assignments in upstate New York, New Jersey, Georgia, and Italy." Dave has been somewhat active in the Dartmouth Club of Rochester, N.Y. Scott Palmer continues to serve as chairman of the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Foreign Service Institute in Arlington, Va. This year he has traveled to Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Columbia to lecture at various Latin American universities on "topics related to U.S.-Latin American relations and redemocratization in the region." Scott happily reports that his oldest son, Walter, is a member of the class of 1990 and "having a great time."
