1963

Timing is everything... or is it? In the late sixties and early seventies Dartmouth went through a great upheaval. It became coed. Apart from equal rights, you'd think this might give our successors a better taste of romance. Not so, says the New York Times Magazine in a cover story on the young generation of the eighties. This is a most unromantic generation... all business, they say. The Puritan ethic is alive and well.

Round about Friday, June 17, 1988, our class may examine the issue of how we related to women in those monastic days and how we relate in 1988. This is one of several seminars and programs featuring classmates and professors under consideration for the 25th reunion. We've been talking to some psychologists about it, like Steve Bank, a clinician and professor at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., and Rich Borofsky, head of the Boston Gestalt Institute, and they agree it may be an issue of great interest. What's your opinion?

Borofsky, incidentally, is a Ph.D. in psychology from the Harvard School of Education who specializes in the nature of adult relationships and the value of attentiveness in daily life. Are you listening? Rich's wife, Antra, practices psychotherapy in the Boston area. They were married in Rich's senior year at Dartmouth and have two daughters, two-year-old Lara and 21-year-old Nadine, a student in horse farm management at Johnson & Wales College, Providence, R.I.

Stan Kogan, Mt. Kisco, N.Y., also has two daughters at Brown and Yale. He is the director of pediatric urology at the Westchester Medical Center and heads up the local Dartmouth interviewing committee. Daughters are in the cards (or genes, I guess) for Bob Phillips with the arrival of Ashley Mae, October 6, 1985. She joins Alicia, 14, and Adam, 12. A resident of Santa Cruz, Calif., Bob develops health promotion programs for several large hospitals and the Stanford Center for Research in Disease Prevention. The children of the late Dan Watts, Margaret and James, are honor high school students, according to Mary Lord of Acton, Mass., Dan's widow. Margaret is a cheerleader, yearbook sports editor, and tennis player; James is a drummer in a rock bank and inclined toward electrical engineering.

Charlie and Trudy Parton of Rumson, N.J., married 23 years, have a daughter, Laurie, at Lehigh University, and a son, Chris, in high school. Charlie is president of Mid-Atlantic National Bank/Merchants, one of the six member banks in the Mid-Atlantic holding company. Likewise Chip Johnstone, Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and wife Peggy have a son, Christopher, at Swarthmore, and another son, Jonathan, in high school. Chip is a dean at an Empire State College regional learning center and is responsible for faculty/student programs in upstate New York. He praises ESC as "wonderfully creative" and a "successful innovator in higher education."

Dick Berkowitz's daughter Jody graduated from Dartmouth this month, and daughter Emily is at Simmons College in Boston. But Dick and Carole are not finished yet. Daughter Suzy is a senior at Staples High School in Westport, Conn., while son Adam is a sophomore at Hopkins in New Haven.

Competing with the Berkowitzes for big families are Alan and Rosalee Davidson of Longmeadow, Mass. They have a daughter, Anne, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a daughter, Nancy, on the ski team at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. They also have three sons, Alan, 16, James, 14, and Patrick, 12. Alan is an emergency physician in nearby Springfield, and Rosalee is a registered nurse.

Steve Brenner's daughters, Alexis, 15, and Dana, 12, "express cautious interest" in Dartmouth. Steve is associate dean for graduate programs and research at the Portland State University School of Business Administration in Oregon. Bart Osborne and Kandi of Wayzata, Minn., have a six- and-a-half-year-old son finishing the first grade. Bart had been with Economics Laboratory Inc. and now seeks to acquire and manage a business. He is a trustee of a fund

for salesmen who have economic hard-ships. Craig Wood, Barrington, R.I., has only sons, Bill, 21, Eric, 19, and Matt, 13. A graduate of Tufts Dental School, Craig's office is in East Providence, R.I. Jim Cogswell, The Dalles, Ore., has a daughter, Connie, in the class of 1990 at Dartmouth.

Don Sutherland, Shenandoah Junction, W.Va., recently became a father for the third time from his second marriage. He also has a two-year-old son and an 18-year- old daughter.

In the career news category this month is the election of Richard D. Heimovics as president of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration, and the appearance of actor Michael Moriarty as Lieutenant Commander Williamson in the new Vietnam war movie, The Hanoi Hilton. The film is a tribute to the heroism of the American servicemen who were captured and held prisoner by North Vietnam during the long war. Till September.
