I'm having difficulty keeping up with Stim Harriman, although in his most recent move he has at least kept his home in the same country. Stim has moved to a new address in Tokyo, but is still at the same office. He is now working with his brother, who is in Portsmouth (New Hampshire, I hope). As a result, I am sure that one of them must be awake very early every morning or late every night. They are doing market studies for smaller and middle-market companies in the U.S. and Japan, which do not need the services of the high-priced spread. Stim recently attended an informal alumni gathering in Tokyo with Prof. Stock mayer. Apparently there was a good mix of Japanese, Americans, and one very lost Argentinean.
Through Cate Marlette comes a brief note from David Beaty of Golden, Colo. (Coors country for oficianados and advanced beer pong players). He recently attended a meeting of the Geological Society of America, where he spied Jim Reynolds and Chuck Douthitt and John Aleinikoff, both M.S. '75. David said there were also numerous other Dartmouth grads who are not as youthful as he is.
Right here in the Big Apple resides one David Dunbar, our past secretary, whom I am sad to say I have yet to come across. (It's a big city.) He is freelancing magazine articles and book chapters, while Barbara, his wife, is a senior editor for Travel & Leisure. From time to time, Davey does see BobSullivan and Art Beaver. Sully has recently bought an apartment in the city and Dave is lobbying heavily for an apartment-warming party. It's in print now, Sully, so make sure that we get invited, too.
As always at this time of year, final thoughts in the notes turn to Bill Cahill and his Sisyphean task (look that one up) of talking all of us deadbeats into opening up our pocketbooks so that those who follow us on the Hanover plain are no less fortunate and enriched than us. So, come on and help out. Every bit helps and it is harder and harder each year. Let's get our percentage participation up to an acceptable level or I'll write more of that controversial stuff. Actually, If our class really participates well and gives generously, I can probably more easily justify writing some of that stuff.
