1965

The mail has been pouring in so fast that my five secretaries can not handle the burden. Please wait until tomorrow to send in your information to this column of Class Notes. Read on to learn about this month's adventures of your classmates. Most of the information comes from rough notes taken during telephone conversations. If there are errors or gaps, I hope the featured classmates will write to us and clarify things.

Mike Zook has a son, Michael Jr., who is less than two years old. Mike's daughter speaks Chinese. I guess she is older than two. Mike's wife, Gretchen, is wonderful. Mike promised to write us a letter to fill in the details of the above. Mike, write.

Chip Hayes brags that he weighs two pounds less than he did when he graduated from Dartmouth. More importantly, he plans to beat Sven Karlen in a celebrity golf tournament in the near future. Chip is busy with business, golf, sailing, and skiing, and he is more concerned with brush fires than earthquakes in Southern Calitornia. He is the proud father of a ten-year-old daughter, Stephanie, and the lucky husband of his high school sweetheart, Connie. On the side, Chip is a managing director for Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette.

Denny Bekermayer covers much of the planet in his travels for business and family matters. From his home base in Seattle he flies to the Orient for business, but he returns to the East Coast to visit his son Colin at Harvard and his foster son Calvin Anderson at Yale. Between trips, Denny and Maureen manage to return to Hanover to rekindle some fond memories.

Tom Morton is back in the East. Karen and Tom are living in the Washington, D.C., area now that Tom is the vice president of Lockheed Missiles and Space Cos. Look for more about Tom and Karen in a future column.

John Bullock is very busy as tie department head and as professor at Wright State University. He explains that there has been a revolution in the past dozen years allowing lens implants to cure cataracts for many patients. He is headed to the Mayo Clinic to explain why St. Paul was struck blind. Look for the reason in future Class Notes.

John Richardson has an interesting message on his answering machine. He explains that he is somehow involved with parachute jumping and the conducting of orchestras and/ or trains in New York City. Call him for details. If he is not at home, his machine messages are fascinating.

Here is some personal news. Sue and I recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. Actually, the celebration will go on for about ten months because we plan to take several trips during the year. We are headed for Chicago this summer and a warm climate next winter.

As you read these Class Notes, remember that the mini-reunion is coming up soon. Plan to be in Hanover for the football weekend and plenty of nostalgia. In the meantime, the class would like to hear from you. My address is written below. Spend a few minutes and 29 cents to let us know what you are up to. We would especially like to hear from Bob Eckert,Doug Lietch, Andy Newton, BrianWasung, Art Eastman, Bob Given, and Chuck Atkins. Until next time, take care of the planet and yourselves.
