1946

Bob Hunt has joined the Hartford, Conn., law firm of Pepe & Hazard, bringing to that firm over 30 years of experience in the areas of corporate, real estate, municipal, and fidelity and surety law. Bob will also work with the firm's construction and litigation departments representing insurance companies in surety and fidelity bond matters. He has served as counsel to the Town of Avon, Conn., since 1964 and prior to joining Pepe & Hazard was managing partner of Hoppin, Corey and Powell in Hartford.

Nip Lewis recently has been elected to the board of directors of the New Hampshire Golf Association. Nipper reported meeting Russ Palmer '48, an executive director of the Connecticut State Golf Association, at the USGA meeting in Atlanta, Ga., last October.

Roger Foster has stepped down as president of Niles Appraisal and Consulting Co. of Fitchburg, Mass., after a year in that post. Also, John Potter reports his retirement as of December 31 after 35 years with Teknor Apex Cos. of Pawtucket, R.I. John's children all live in the vicinity except for son Tom '76, who resides in Ayr, Scotland. With their summer cottage on Lake Mascoma two houses from the Dartmouth Yacht Club, John extends a welcome there to '46s "anytime."

Dr. Harvey Mandell has co-edited the book When Doctors Get Sick published by Plenum Publishing Corp. The book reveals the human side of the medical profession, with doctors telling their experiences with other doctors, their trials and tribulations in coping with their own medical crisis, and the effect it has on their families and associates. Each doctor also offers his own candid opinion of the health-care system as perceived by the doctor as patient. Sounds like a most interesting book, Harvey, and one in which a good many of your classmates would be interested. Incidently, Harvey is an internist in Norwich, Conn., who describes himself as "an obscure New England country doctor."

Jack Whitman was good enough to call attention to the "faces in the crowd" mention of Kevin Moats in a late fall issue of Sports Illustrated. Kevin, son of our own BenMoats, finished first among amateurs and eighth overall in the USTS triathlon championships on Hilton Head Island, S.C. He completed the 1.5K swim, 40K bike ride, and 10K run in 1:56:06. Any of you guys or gals wish to try to match that!

Congratulations to Dr. Bob Winter, who this fall was named only the second holder of the Arthur G. Coons Professor of the History of Ideas at Occidental College in Los Angeles. The announcement was made by Occidental president Richard C. Gilman '45 at the start of that institution's 101st academic year. After receiving his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins, Bob held teaching positions at Dartmouth, Bowdoin, and UCLA prior to joining the Occidental faculty in 1963.

Regret to report the passing of loyal classmates Dick Wilson and Jack Rankin. Heartfelt condolences to their families. Obituaries will follow in this or a later issue.
