1977

Thought you'd want to know: Edith's closed last December 30. Everything was 50 percent off (except candy and cigarettes). Edith expressed her "gratitude • • • for the support you have given . . . through my 50 years in business. I wish you all a Very healthy and Happy New Year."

Thanks to Brad Edgerton '53, writing From Marysville, Wash., for this one (from the seattle.Times, 2/19/89): "As Dr. Gary schillhammer hung from the belly of a helicopter on its way to a logging accident, he wondered what he had got himself into. Suspended hundreds of feet in the air in a cablewebbed basket, Schillhammer was lowered into a remote area of the Snoqualmie National Forest to save a logger's life. The trip was a success, another one of many serious injuries Schillhammer has treated as the pioneer doctor from Darrington." Gary's two-year stint in Darrington (Wash.) is in return for funding of his medical education by the Public Health Service. Brad adds his own color: "Darrington ... is back in a remote area of the Cascades near Glacier Peak and North Cascades National Park. Until Gary came, the town had been without a doctor for a number of years. Darrington is also unique as it is made up of second- and third-generation families of North Carolina loggers and sawyers who were recruited out here when the southern Appalachians were cut over."

More from gracious, older alumni: Charles Dudley '29 called to say GeorgeShackleford will give the 5th annual Argentina Copello Dudley Memorial Lecture at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. (4/11/89). George's talk is entitled, "Salon Doré in the Gilded Age." (Argentina was Charles's sister-in-law.) George is curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Fine Art in Houston, and a guest curator at the National Gallery in D.C. Charles, by the way, is going strong in nearby Lebanon, and among other things heading up his class's 60th Reunion this June!

Tom Beach writes: "I'm immersed in the private sector suddenly, after seven years at the California Public Utilities Commission. I am opening a California office for a small Washington law firm that is headed by Roger Berliner '73. We will be providing consulting services on California energy issues. I'm still a frequent visitor to the Dartmouth cabin at Donner Pass. P.S. Mike and Carol Zischke had #1—Julia—earlier this month!"

Finally, Vince Pellagrini was inducted in February as a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Vince was one of 520 new fellows of the Academy, whose "primary mission is education—for orthopaedists, allied health professionals, and the general public."

The Rick Angulo '77 World Experience Fund year ago the class of '77 lost a friend and leader. Fighting acute leukemia alone, not. wanting to burden family and friends, Rick Angulo left a legacy of boundless energy and international friend ships. President of his class and an avid fan of athletics, politics, and people, Rick was fluent in four languages. His personal and professional accomplishments spanned at least two continents and benefited thousands of people. To honor him and to carry on his spirit, the Rick Angulo World Experience Fund was recently established, providing an annual stipend that will allow worthy Dartmouth students the opportunity to study abroad or to participate in Government Department programs. Based on need and merit, the award will give students the freedom to pursue off-campus studies that they might not otherwise be able to afford. For information contact Don Wiviott '77 at 602/381-1220 or Betsy Roberts Gile '77 at 718/852-7756; or send contributions directly to the fund, care of Melanie Norten, Blunt Alumni Center, Hanover, NH 03755.
