1954

Hariy Robinson and I had a wonderful chat earlier this evening (mid-March). He land Carol are in good form and thankful that their son Harry came through the Gulf War in good shape. Younger Harry, a sergeant in the Medical Corps, went to Saudi Arabia in August and was in the thick of the action during the ground war.

David Kirk, a principal of the consulting division of the Boston Financial Group Inc., has been elected chairman of the New England and Upstate New York Chapter of the American Society of Real Estate Counselors. Dave also will serve as a vice president of the national organization.

Ed Wlnnick wrote to Jerry Goldstein in October to say that he and Mary Lou were looking forward to the John Cunningham theater party in December. Ed reported, "Unfortunately, we will not be in Hanover for the Yale game. That weekend is the Yale Law School Alumni Association meeting and, as chairman of the nominating committee, I have to deliver a report at the luncheon on Saturday. We will be in Hanover for the Harvard game. Our daughter Martha has left New York and is a first-year student at Tuck. Our daughter Beth is expecting her first child (our first grandchild) in early November, and all else is going well." The first grandchild, as Phyllis and I will readily testify, is something special.

James Cuno, director of the Hood Museum of Art, wrote to Jerry Goldstein in February to inform him of the selection of Carrie Heinonen as the Class of 1954 Senior Intern at the museum: "Carrie is an Art History major with a GPA of 3.45. She has been a Presidential Scholar and Tucker Fellow, has been on the Dean's list since her freshman year, and studied on the College's Florence FSP program.

"She is a remarkable student. As a Presidential Scholar she assisted faculty in studio arts with the department's exhibition and artist-in-residefice programs. While a Tucker Fellow she lived and worked at the Apache Culture Center in White River, Ariz., working with the museum staff there, giving tours of exhibitions, counseling at a tribal youth camp, and evaluating the Bureau of Indian Affairs' educational programs on the reservation.

"In the past three years at Dartmouth she has served on the Alumni Council, Student Life and Alumni Fund Committees, Casque & Gauntlet, Green Key, women's crew, the Student Activities Programming Board, and the Aquinas House board, was a freshman trip leader, and is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

"As a senior intern, she will experience all aspects of museum work and will design and execute her own special project. She hopes to take from this internship the experience that will help her when she graduates and seeks employment in a small, rural museum, much like the Apache Cultural Center on which she worked last summer.

"We are very pleased to have Carrie with us this year. She was the outstanding applicant from a pool of more than a dozen.

"With many thanks for the support of the class of 1954 for this important educational project of the Hood Museum ..."
