1964

At this time in 1963, the Dartmouth football team, led by 18 members of our class, was on its way to a second consecutive Ivy League Championship and a 7-2 overall record. On the 30th anniversary of that accomplishment, I thought that it would be of interest to other '64s to learn where these individuals are now.

Captain Scott Creelman, Charlie Greer, and Al Pierce were the ends of the 1963 team. Scott is now a vice president and general manager of Spalding Sports International in Chicopee, Mass. Charlie is a professor of East Asian studies and geography at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind. Al attended Stanford Law School and is currently an attorney in private practice specializing in probate and estate planning in Martinez, Calif., which is near Berkeley.

The tackles from the class were Jan Dephouse, Dave Stenger, and Dale Runge. Jan works for the Mobil oil company in Malvern, Pa., and was recently named manager of gasoline distribution. Dave has worked for Eli Lilly and Company since graduating from Tuck School in 1965, and he is currently a treasury operations manager in Indianapolis, Ind. Tragically, Dale Runge passed away in 1977.

Four members of the class played guard, led by All-Ivy Bill Curran, who is now a teacher and coach at Deering High School in Portland, Maine. The others were DavedeCalesta, Lynn McCanse, and DaveOsborn. Dave deCalesta was a college professor at North Carolina State and Oregon State for 16 years, and he is now a wildlife scientist conducting ecosystems research for the U.S. Forest Service in Warren, Pa. Lynn is a private practitioner of Urology in North Kansas City, Mo. Dave Osborn retired from Owens-Illinois (at 48) and has formed his own benefits and benefits-communications consulting firm in Perrysburg, Ohio.

Center Jim Grace is a physician in Ocean Springs, Md., following a career in the U.S. Navy. Quarterback Dana Kelly is an insurance executive in Los Angeles, where he manages the Group Credit Insurance Marketing Office for The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Safety Bill Madden is a partner in Asset Management Services, a financial marketing firm in Darien, Conn. The halfbacks were Tom Spangenberg, Dave Lawson, and Chris Vancura. Tom is currently a gentleman farmer in Castleton, Vt., while Chris is die president of three of his own companies which manufacture and market industrial adhesives, aircraft seat cushions, and plastic aerospace parts in Los Angeles. Dave married his high school sweetheart on the Saturday following graduation and worked for American Hospital Supply for more than 14 years before founding his own company, Lawson Enterprises Unlimited, which specializes in personalized advertising and sales promotion items and is located (where else?) in Knoxville, Tenn. Fullback Tom Parkinson is a professor of marketing and director of the M.B.A. program at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa., while Pete Benzian is an attorney in San Diego.

The student manager was Frank Loveland. "Turkey" is currently an associate professor of anthropology at Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pa., and is about to begin a sabbatical during which he plans to conduct an anthropological study of "people who collect stuff!" (For example: baseball cards, comics, beer cans, etc.)
