1968

As the class enters its 20th year, many milestones have been reached; the Alumni Fund informed the class this past week that we surpassed our goal and at $125,004, set a College record for a 19th year class.

Another milestone was reached as Allan and Ann Meyer's son David enters the class of '91. David graduated with honors from Brookline High last year and spent the past year studying French at the University of Grenoble. Allan continues studying health policy as a sociologist at the Boston University School of Public Health. Recent research areas are the deterrent effect of educational versus punitive responses to drunk driving in Maine, and quantification of maloccurance versus the incidence of malpractice suits at Boston hospitals. Ann is assistant director of the real estate branch of Mass Port, the non-profit organization controlling the airport, seaport, and bridges around the Boston area.

Chuck Grad, an internist practicing in Scranton, Pa., has been named president of the board of directors of Lackawanna Medical Group, a multispecialty medical group with four regional offices. Chuck studied at Temple Medical School and took his residency at Geisinger Medical Center. He practices gastroenterology and is currently vice president of the medical staff at Community Medical Center. Chuck, his wife Marilyn Burkavage, and their five children live in Clarks Green.

The April 1 wall Street Journal announced Fred Floberg's election as managing director at Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Company. Fred is employed at the Chicago office and resides with wife Sally in wilmett.

Ned Cummings, Lt. Col. USAF, notes his reassignment to the NATO staff, Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic in Norfolk, Va. As an Air Force Intelligence Officer, he will be frequenting the NATO capitals. Ellen and the children will be in Virginia Beach after July. Ned welcomes visits from Dartmouth friends. They look forward to visiting Hanover for the 20th.

Mark Waterhouse, in addition to doing a great job as Alumni Fund head agent, enjoys tracking down '6Bs. He met PaulSchweizer at last September's meeting of the Northeastern Industrial Developers Association in Syracuse. Paul works at the family firm, Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, N.Y., the premier U.S. manufacturer of glider planes. Paul was one of the featured speakers at the Developers meeting.

Mark met Jack and Chris Lynch at a Christmas party in Hartford and learned that they are living in Hartford, where Jack practices as an emergency trauma specialist at the Hartford Hospital, flying on the Lifestar helicopter.

Also at Hartford Hospital, John Meehan has been named hospital president, tying the record for the youngest president in the hospital's 133-year history. John was recruited to Hartford from my hospital in Bennington, where he was vice president, by John Springer '53. The future of Hartford Hospital looks bright, as Springer has consolidated Hartford with other area hospitals as the Connecticut Health System and remains C.E.O. for the combined corporation.

The 20th reunion, scheduled for June 1719, rapidly approaches. If anyone has an interest in assisting with the reunion or serving in a leadership role for the following years, please drop me a line.
