1953

Legacy of Leadership has been demonstrated in yet another field. Our Dr. Peter Patterson, proceeding only after careful assessment of the stress factor involved, reports the birth of a son in early November. That follows a daughter 17 months old. Should this occur again for any of you, call me collect from the hospital!

Pete left the Army Medical Corps eight years ago as a full colonel and came to the University of New Hampshire as director of health services. UNH's version of Dick's House has seven MD's, eight beds and 40,000 visits a year

Dick Blum was here for the game with daughter Jane '90, but was scurrying off to N.Y.C. to give solace to Harriet, who works long hours these days as a commercial loan officer for Citicorp. We do have some bankers left in the class don't we? Do they have any money to lend?

There was a good group at Bill and NancyJohnson's after the game, as usual. Dr. CarlFreedman was up from Lyme, Conn., for which, he notes proudly, Lyme's disease was named. He's looking for someone to join his small medical practice so he can spend more time at his place in Randolph, Vt. His son is teaching and getting a Ph.D. in physiology at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.

Bill Murray was at the Johnsons'. He's recently landed in Portland, Maine, after a number of years managing off-brand products for Upjohn in Michigan. Bill has a very comfortable condo in a converted school. Also at the Johnsons' were Dick and Anita Calkins from Des Moines to see daughter Kathy, who gave us some good insight on the student scene at our class dinner after the Yale game.

I have here a six-page FAX news release on Bob Michael, general manager of the Louisville/Jefferson County Regional Airport Authority, who has been appointed to the federal blue ribbon Aviation System Capacity Advisory Committee. Bob is former president of Airport Operators Council and a former board member of the Assocation of Airport Executives. We assume it's now safe to land in Louisville.

Our upstate New York correspondent TomBloomer gave me a rundown on the Cornell post-game tailgate. Distance honors were shared by Skip Adams, our construction consultant from Houston, and Jerry Grady, manager of Jumby Bay, a short swim from Antigua. With rooms at s1,000/day (no tipping), Jerry says, the smart folks are saving money by buying houses and condos at $2 million or so. We hope Jerry's customers can lift us out of recession. Ken Sewall was there from Pittsfield, Mass., where he's still with GE after many years. Rick Mainter came over from Pittsford, a suburb of Rochester. He has had a successful market research and consulting firm there since 1971, doing work for Kodak, Schering Plough, Ralston Purina, and many others. Paul Dillingham came from Binghamton. He recently retired from IBM and is now practicing as a certified financial counsellor. Dr. Chuck Olin was there from Rochester, where he's been a pediatrician for 26 years. Chuck didn't graduate from Dartmouth, getting his medical degree from the U. of Buffalo.

Lowell Holway writes that his wife, Loretta, invited him to the Moscow Conference on Law and Bilateral Economic Relations in September. At a state banquet in the Kremlin they ran into Dick and Vivian Cahn. A passerby whom they asked to get their picture turned out to be '48 Rod Robinson's wife, Suzanne. 750 American and 2,000 Soviet lawyers attended.

We've got 60th birthdays galore, and I'll be over at Bill Chamberlain's party about the time this arrives. Bill's doing a fine job as development officer for the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, raising goodly sums right in the area. The grand opening should take place in about a year.
