1959

Rick and Kay Luedke have enjoyed making the trek from Milwaukee to Hanover a couple of times to see son John '90. With daughter Liz now a graduate of Wellesley College, the couple is beginning, according to Rick, to appreciate the effects of the "empty nest syndrome." Rick claims that he almost instantly recognized every '59 at last fall's '59 gathering in the Smoyer Lounge before the Harvard game (see the January/February 1987 issue for a run-down on who was there) and says he enjoyed being there. He continues his active involvement in admissions work in this area, no doubt an even better-informed interviewer because of son John's presence on campus.

Nick Monsour writes from his home at 3660 N. Mountain View Ave., San Bernardino, CA 92405 that he has been quite ill for the last two years, but has been making incremental progress and at the time of his writing hoped to return to his faculty position soon. Nick, whose home telephone number is 714/882-0267, says he would enjoy hearing from his classmates and other Dartmouth friends. He says that all three of his sons have demonstrated great ability as college students and have been a source of strength to him during the period of his illness.

Bob Czelusniak writes that daughter Cara attends the University of Colorado at Boulder and that son Jay hopes to be admitted at Dartmouth following a "postgraduate" year next year at prep school. Gerry Scott reports that daughter Debbie graduated from Brown and is going into Christian mission work, while daughter Susan, Colby '89, is happily looking forward to orchestra management. Gerry says he has been enjoying his job managing MIS activities at Lionel Leisure.

Jim and Lorna Groundwater, who are the proud parents of a two-year-old son, Andrew, celebrated the June 4, 1987, arrival of baby daughter, Katherine Jeanne. Jim enjoys his private practice of dermatology, in which he is engaged along with two associates in downtown San Francisco, as well as his teaching activities at the University of California School, of Medicine. Meanwhile, Lorna, an opera singer, is the regular soloist at their church and commissioner of parks, beaches, and recreation in their town.

Herb Shoenberg, who says he "wonders if he really turns 50 next month," says he thought he would "toot his daughter's horn for a change." Jill '89 worked as an intern for The Washington Journalism Review and had an article on video magazines published in their April '87 issue. Herb adds that he can supply copies on request.

Dick Frankenberg continues as director of the Marine Sciences Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has become increasingly involved in international consulting work, most recently in Kuwait. (Stay away from those oil tankers, Dirk!) Dirk's wife, Susan, continues her antique and import business. Daughter Elizabeth is a graduate student at Princeton, and Eben is enrolled in a geology program leading to a B.S. at Dartmouth. Dirk says he sees Dave Gavitt at UNC lacrosse games in which Dave's son Cory plays on attack.

While reporting in the May '87 column on class VP "Moose" Morton's recent success in an amateur international ski competition for skiers over 50, I goofed by reporting that William H. Morton '32, who had been honored in a recent "Give a Rouse for" column, was Moose's dad. Moose graciously explained to me that his dad is William G. Morton '28, a retired Syracuse New York Savings banker who has served the College in many capacities, including that of chairman of the Alumni Fund in the 19505. Moose also mentioned that his nephew, Rob Cote '88, had an outstanding season in lacrosse and has been elected a co-captain of next year's team.
