1961

Mini-reunions are just around the corner! Please let me know immediately if you'd like a mini-reunion in Charlotte on Sept. 30 Oct. 1: Catch the Spirit of Dartmouth weekend. Oak Winters and I want to arrange a special time for '61s to gather without conflicting with other weekend events. Come to Charlotte. Join the fun.

The "official" mini-reunion is in Hanover Oct. 14-16, Dartmouth Night weekend. Dave Prewitt's plans call for Saturday dinner at the DOC house on Occom Pond, and a block of rooms at the Sunset Lodge. Let Dave know if you're coming. (Dave is with a new Philadelphia law firm, Korn, Kline and Kutner, 215/751-0500.)

Mail your ballot to class president Vic Rich on whether you'd prefer our 50th birthday gala to be in Scottsdale or Washington, and whether you'd come if your choice loses.

Several '61s talked for several hours at the Hanover Inn about possible sites for the birthday during Class Officers Weekend. Present were Vic, Dave (and Joan), Bob andLinda Rosier, Hank Eberhardt, and me. We started with a long list and came away with one proviso: stay away from the New York Boston-Hanover axis. The following week, the executive committee pared the list to Washington and Scottsdale, and asked for your vote.

Linda, by the way, said several '61 couples gathered at the Rosier house for cocktails before the spring meeting of the local Dartmouth club, including Larry and SteffiLevy, Jackie and Gerry Kaminsky, Ron andJoan Wybranowski, MaryLou and RedFacher, Elliott and Wendy Weiss and Hal Rabner '64.

Notes from the telephone: For the sixth consecutive year Steve Blank will teach a course on the international environment of business at Tuck School. Steve, professor of international business at Pace University in New York, flies into Hanover on Sundays, teaches at 7:30 a.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays, then flies back. He's also heavily involved with the Institute for U.S.-Canadian Business Studies.

Ken Roemhildt runs North Pacific Processors, a salmon and crab cannery in Cordova, Alaska, where there is 140 inches of precipitation a year. For the past three years he's been the sole supplier for Hormel of skinless, boneless, pink salmon which, by Jove, is on the shelves in Winston-Salem. Ken's proud of his kids: Jennifer and Christine are honors students at Northwest Nazarene College; David and Kathy were state winners in the Future Problem Solving Bowl and represented Alaska at the national championships in Ann Arbor.

Bob Vale, counsel for Southeast Banks in Miami, has a son, Robbie '91, doing well after his freshman year, and Derek 9, potential class of 2001.

Tom Marshall, a biochemist with the National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse in Rockville, Md., was really laudatory of the surgeon general, C. Everett Koop '37. Tom has two sons; John, the eldest, is at Friends World College.

Mailbag: Mike Burnett writes, "Still living in Minneapolis, which we love. Lots of lakes and great sailing. One daughter, Elizabeth, is a '90 you missed that in your listing. The other, Sally, just finished her junior year in high school.

And we also missed John Manske's son Hans '89, majoring in geology/environmental studies.

The mailbag, thankfully, is stuffed. More next month.
