1965

On June 14—17, as many as 800 of our class, families, and friends will return to Hanover to celebrate our 25 th anniversary. To understand what causes Dartmouth alumni to come back for such an event, we recently talked with three classmates who were among the first to register.

Tom Wise, professor of psychiatry at both Georgetown and Johns Hopkins Universities, says, "The 20th Reunion was as much fun as I've had in a long time. I thought the experience was terrific and my whole family is excited about returning. I'm looking forward to seeing everybody in the class, whether I knew them 25 years ago or not." He especially hopes two classmates who attended Duke University medical school with him, Phil Keats and NickRummo, are able to be back in Hanover. Tom has served as president of the American Association of General Hospital Psychiatrists and is presently editor of the medical journal Psychosomatics. He says his professional time is equally divided among patients, teaching, ana research. His family consists of his wife, Karen, and daughters Catherine and Elizabeth.

Eric Engstrom says, "This will be my first reunion. I've been fairly involved in Dartmouth activities here in Kansas, but, for one reason or another, have never made it back to Hanover. I feel I have some catching up to do and would like to start by seeing Dan Morley, Al Boyce, Jack McKenna, and Fritz Offensend." Eric's home is in Wichita, where he practices corporate law with the firm of Fleeson, Gooing, Coulson and Kitch. He attended Oxford for a year and received his law degree from the University of Chicago. After working for a Wall Street firm and serving as an army officer in Vietnam, Eric returned to his native Kansas. An undergraduate history major, he was formerly president of the Kansas State Historic Society and currently serves as an advisor to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Ned McCook returned for two reunions, but had to cancel his plans for our 20th. Ned says, "I've heard reunions change as a class goes along and could even sense a difference between the five and ten-year events. I'm looking forward to seeing old friends such as Bob McLaughlin, BryceHarbaugh, and Ted Boyle and then would just like to spend time walking around the campus. I want to become acquainted with some new people, perhaps ones I should have known 25 years ago." Accompanying Ned will be his wife, Leslie, and their 14 year-old daughter Alison. Ned met Leslie while both were serving in the Peace Corps in Tunisia. Ned recalls, "While still in northern Africa, I decided I wanted to do graduate work in mathematics. This was more difficult than it sounds, since I had been an economics major at Dartmouth and had taken only one calculus course. I was admitted to Drexel University and, defying all odds, eventually received a master's degree in math." Ned began a career in data processing with the Burroughs Corporation. He is now vice president of DGM & S, a New Jersey data communications firm.

Dick Avery, attendance chairman for the reunion committee, believes the thoughts of Tom, Eric, and Ned are fairly common. "I'm not hearing about College policies or any social problems of the past; instead the response is of classmates who really want to see each other and find out what's going on in our lives." Dick adds, "The 25th Reunion is said to be the best event a Dartmouth class ever has. We get only one chance to do it right, so we need each of you to be in Hanover this June."
