1957

About three years ago, Fred Mueller ended his long association with the food business to join his brother in cooking up some action in Florida's commercial real estate. Already a major factor in Naples, they expect to end up with about 50 offices throughout the state. Fred says that Dartmouth has more alumni in the Naples area than any other college except the University of Florida. Nevertheless, he hasn't seen too many '57s down there . . . must be just too young.

After seven years in Ft. Lauderdale, Harry Padgett went north last September for a visit. Unluckily, he fell in the shower, fracturing his neck and injuring his spinal cord. Initially paralyzed, Harry is now back on his feet, but his arms and hands have yet to come around. Everyone says he's making good progress, but Harry finds it frustratingly slow. He hopes to be recovered enough to return to the car and truck leasing business about July. Saturated with TV, he'd appreciate a call to 201/835-1706.

Bob Macdonald reported that Ron Judson was wondering what had become of John Fishburn. Well, Fish spent 22 years in the navy. Assignments included command of a destroyer and a five-year tour in Europe. After retiring as a commander in 1980, he spent a few years with a small company. Now John works for Boeing Aerospace in Bellevue, Wash. He is part of a naval warfare studies group that does analyses designed to further Boeing's business with the navy. John likes Washington a lot. Weather is fairly mild and often rainy, but when it's clear the area is breathtakingly beautiful. After-work night skiing is only 45 minutes away.

Fish's whereabouts revealed, Ron advised that he is still with Citibank in New York and currently suffering from an addiction to golf. His son, a junior at the University of Pennsylvania, pitched a no-hitter against Yale last year. A sore arm makes his return to baseball questionable, so he may just have to be a scholar like his dad.

Ned Roesler is now living in a six-bedroom Victorian house in Meriden, Conn., with wife Karen, their two kids aged three and four, an 11-year-old stepson, two Vietnamese boys, and their two fathers.

After Dartmouth, Ned went into the army; studied in Vienna for a year; got a master's in German at Middlebury; during summers led Experiment in International Living groups to Germany, France, and the Soviet Union; had two Soviet groups here in the U.S. and interpreted for them; taught and ran a German department at the State University of N.Y. in Oneonta; worked on Wall Street for Smith Barney; and was a fund raiser for Choate.

Ned now cares for elderly people as a certified nurse's aide. His profession is normally considered an entry level job for nonEnglish-speaking people, but Ned feels there's a woeful lack of qualified care givers for a rapidly aging population. Not a typical corporate endeavor, but he loves it.
