1980

After a one-and-a-half-year investigation and a 17-week trial in Manhattan federal court, Bronx D.A. Jamie Phillips and his cohorts convicted ten members of the Ramos heroin distribution ring. Among other things, the defendants assembled bombs, shot their own employees and machinegunned people outside a Bronx theater on Christmas Day. I didn't even make that up.

Rob Daisley is a partner with the Tampa law firm of Annis, Mitchell & Cockey. Much of his spare time is devoted to coaching the YMCA Lakers, an inner-city youth team. Sounds like the makings of a hot movie: "White Men Can't Coach." Rob and his wife, Lynda, are expecting their first child.

The Dais provided these additional tidbits. Cody Press lives in Los Angeles, where he is a regional manager for Merrill Lynch Capital Markets. "He's got the corner office, the whole nine yards. He's the deal," the Dais reports. Cody and his wife have three daughters. Godfather of Cody's kids is Eric Cutter, a distributor for Westwood Squibb Pharmaceuticals. Soup is often spotted at the Forum chatting with his friends on the squad—the Laker Girls, that is.

Mike Wall likes the letter S. He married Suzanne Sage on Super Bowl weekend as the 'Skins prevailed. They honeymooned and skied in the resort towns around Salzburg and now make their home in Santa Monica. Dartmouth was represented at the wedding by Dan Holmes, Ross Jaffe and his wife, Eve, Warren ('81) and Beth Bromberg, and Donna Halverstadt '82.

Wonder what Marilyn and Dan ("Just Say Noe") Quayle think of jane Caterina Greer. Jane is the director of telecommunications for Union Life Insurance. Her husband, Larry, a general contractor, is a fulltime homemaker. He built their house in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, and takes care of their four-year-old son Michael. Sounds like a family to me. What about you, Marilyn?

Love has bloomed in the land of the rising sun. Audrey Prashker moved to Tokyo to slave away for the New York law firm of Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison. My sources tell me she fell in love at a triple-decker golf-driving range in Tokyo, where she was taking lessons (keeping up with the Ishimotos).

It had all the trappings of a long-running TV series starring Bob Denver. On September 12, over 100 Dartmouth alums and friends joined Bill Goodspeed (The Skipper), MarcLewis (Gilligan), and a host of others aboard the pleasure boat Belle Island for a three-hour tour of Long Island Sound. The boat was replete with would-be Thurston Howells—but Ed Laux, just promoted to head the equity trading desk at Kidder Peabody, was the peoples choice. No movie star, professor, or Mary Anne. Alas, the weather never got rough, the tiny ship never tossed, the crew was hardly fearless, the Belle Island was not lost.

Also on board were David Burchenal and Mike Lynch, who have just set up their medical practices in Greenwich, Conn.; PeterBoone, who has moved to Bridgeport, Conn., where he too is setting up a medical practice specializing in joint replacement (nothing to do with controlled substances); SallySandercock, who lives with her husband Robert Michler and their two children in Riverside, Conn.; Dan Fitzpatrick, who has joined the private banking group at Morgan Guarantee; Chris Sawch, Jennifer and JeffRutishauser, Rona and Jeff Citrin, Dianneand Winston Hutchins, and a former rugby star who wishes to remain nameless and his pregnant wife Jean. I was there too, doing my Arthur ("The Scud Stud") Kent imitation.
