Pete Barber and Joe LaVigna encountered one another while skiing at Vail last winter and, according to Pete, spent a "terrific few days together talking about old times."

Charley Pinkerton says that he, wife Sue, and the Cleveland, Ohio, family insurance business are all doing fine, as are son Bob, who is pursing his M.B.A. at the University of Chicago, son Dave, who is a graduate of the University of Richmond, and son Stewart, who is a junior at Vanderbilt University.

Speaking of the insurance business, MarvSezak has spent only two of his last 17 years in it with his present employer, J. H. Albert International Insurance Advisors, in Needham, Mass., but he has already been appointed assistant vice president and senior consultant. Marv says his firm is the seventh-largest risk management and insurance consulting firm in the United States and Canada. After Dartmouth, Marv earned his M.A. at Stanford. He sees "Hoagy" andPat Rosania often, and reports that Hoagy is president of the Southeastern Massachusetts Dartmouth Club.

Bruce Andrews writes from Stamford, Conn., that he, like our class newsletter editor Doug Wise, is concerned with the level of participation in class activities. But he adds: "Perhaps some of us feel estranged from the College and the traditions we respected. It has taken a lot of change in Hanover to drive this class underground. I surely would like to see '59 regenerate some enthusiasm. Unfortunately, I want to see the school also acknowledge our concerns."

Roger Agre, M.D., continues his successful practice of psychiatry in suburban Philadelphia. He gets to Hanover often to see son Ross '90, and remains active in interviewing prospective Dartmouth freshman, which he has done for many vears.

Of his family oil business as a wholesale distributor for Amoco, William "Bill"Peltwayjr. writes from Lookout Mountain, Ga., that "it is always an exciting challenge, but we love it." Bill says that the eldest of his three sons is back working with him and wife Susan in the business, and that he expects one of both of the other sons back in time. He adds that he and Susan have been too busy to notice' their "empty nest."

Tom Aley started a manufacturing company called Plasma Tech, Inc., in West Lebanon, N.H., a little over two years ago, and happily reports that it "looks like it will be around for a long time." In 1985 Tom was remarried—to the former Linda Collins of Colorado Springs-which, he says, "brings the number of children to eight, six [of whom] are in or just out of college." Tom says Hanover is a "great place to live." He mentions that Scott Palmer's son Walter '90, a varsity basketball standout at the College, spends a lot of time at their home.

Yours truly donated his time and talents to co-authoring a manual published in July by the Federal Bar Association in Washington, D.C., entitled "A Manual on the Administrative Processing of Federal Sector EEO Complaints."
