1958

Sadly, I have received news that Dick Stoddard died in January. His son Dick Jr. told me that he was living in Jacksonville, Fla., at the time of his death. He went on to say that his father had just celebrated the eighth anniversary of his sobriety. The Richard S. Stoddard 1958 Memorial Fund has been established in support of the alcohol education program at the College. Contributions may be sent to the Stewardship Office, Dartmouth College, 63 South Main St., Hanover 03755- 7061. An obituary notice will appear in a future Alumni Magazine issue.

Myles Slosberg can now be found arguing cases in the courts of Boston. After many years with the Stride Right Corporation as an executive vice-president, Myles turned to the world of law, graduating from the Harvard Law School in 1989. He is now an assistant attorney general in Boston and argued his first case in a trial this February.

If you are in the Philadelphia area, stop in at Temple University and attend a geology class with Peter Goodwin. You'll be in for a treat. In 1967, just four years after joining Temple's faculty, Peter won the Lindack Award for Distinguished Teaching. Twenty-five years later, again recognizing his teaching talents, Temple awarded Peter its 1992 Great Teacher Award. After receiving the 1992 award Peter said that he views teaching as a partnership of learning between students and teachers. He went on to say, "I view my students as people. And many of my students I so thoroughly enjoy and get so much out of as people, that a friendship develops. It comes from the fact that I treat them as partners." Since 1989 Peter has also been coordinating Temple's Summer Research Program for minority undergraduates in science and engineering.

Michael Engle wrote from Taunton, Mass., where he has just finished a stint as interim rector in a local Episcopal Church. Ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church in 1969, he is looking now toward a move into the world of administration in higher education. He told a college dean, "I no longer wish to serve as a lightning rod as a rector." Thereupon, the dean replied, "Sure, become a dean and then become everybody's fire hydrant." Having second thoughts, Michael?

Reg Bartholomew, chief envoy to NATO, continues to wield his extraordinary diplomatic skills in the "hot" places of the world. President Clinton has named him to join with Cyrus Vance and Lord Owen in hammering out a settlement in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

One weekend back in February the temperature in Hanover plummeted to 2 7 degrees below zero. During our undergraduate days, when we had those kind of temperatures, I used to get my best studying done. Unfortunately, there were not enough of them to get me into Phi Beta Kappa! Hope this April issue of the Alumni Magazine finds the spring juices of life welling up anew in the veins of your life. Drop me a note about the changes taking place in your life.
