1965

There's a widely-known custom referred to as "spring house cleaning." This process seems useful in many phases of our lives and may even be appropriate for a class secretary needing to pass along information before the Alumni Magaze for the summer.

The first piece of somewhat "dusty" news is that Mike Lewis is with the National Institute for Dispute Resolution, an agency that encourages solving problems outside the judicial system. Mike was in the foreign service for five years before entering law school at Georgetown University. After earning a law degree, he spent ten years with the Center for Dispute Settlement, an organization providing mediation services and training mediators to work within local courts. He and his wife have three children, are part-time teachers at George Washington University Law School, and are looking forward to spending time at a new summer home on Block Island.

Brian Bosworth recently resigned as president of the Indiana Economic Development Council. Brian had been named to this Postion when the agency was created in 1985, and is credited with much of the analysis, planning, and coordination that started Indiana on the way back from its "Rust Belt" status. Brian first came to the Hoosier state in 1976 after 11 years as an officer with the Agency for International Development. He served as head of the Indiana office of social services and in 1980 was named executive assistant to Governor Otis Bowen. Two years later, he became deputy director of the Indiana Department of Commerce. With the recent election of a new governor and what appeared to be a change in statewide priorities, Brian decided it was time to shift directions and is now doing private and public consulting as well as speaking and writing on the subjects of strategic planning and economic development.

Dave Adams is in Las Vegas, Nev., with Reynolds Electrical and Engineering Cos. He describes his job as essentially that of a data-processing consultant within his firm. His family consists of his wife, Cathryn, two daughters, and three sons. The family is active in the Mormon faith and Dave says they have been looking forward to the opening of an impressive new temple in Las Vegas.

Ken Jukes, described as a "not able to contact" at the time of our report on classmates in the airline industry, responded to the challenge with a telephone call. He said he had quit flying last July when doctors discovered he had a brain tumor. Formerly president of the Dartmouth Flying Club, Ken has been a pilot for American Airlines for the last 21 years. His home is on Cape Cod with his wife, Sheila, and three "bright and beautiful" daughters, ages 4, 7, and 9. His phone number, for any of you wishing to provide encouragement, is 503/362-4382. Ken says "I may fly again some day, but right now I find myself concentrating on a more fundamental problem."

Roger Snyder was appointed chief executive officer of the 1,400-member Northern Virginia Building Industry Association in December 1987. Roger earned a master's degree in industrial geography from Syracuse University in 1967 and spent the next seven years in a variety of planning and land-use assignments for the State of New York. In 1975, he was named director of planning for Madison County, N.Y., and, five years later, was appointed to a similar position in Prince William County, Va. Presently, Roger is responsible for all lobbying, communication, and research activities on behalf of the building industry in an area with a population of more than 1.4 million. He lives in Manassas, Va., with his wife, Cyndy, and 13-year-old son Jeff.

Having now emptied most of the "class of '65" file, I face the summer with a relatively clear conscience. We now have plenty of space available to add your thoughts and experiences and I encourage you to write as we move toward our 25th Reunion.
