1971

In January Jonathan Crane was named president and CEO of Lightstream Corporation, a new company which is concentrating on developing and marketing networking products based on asynchronous transfer mode technology. Previously Jonathan had been executive vice president of multinational accounts at MCI Telecommunications.

According to a number of (presumably) reliable sources (The New York Times and The Washington Post among them), Peter Hutchinson and his management-consulting firm were named last fall to serve in lieu of a traditional superintendent of schools for the city of Minneapolis. It is a unique arrangement which differs from the "privatization" experiments in some other cities in that Peter's firm, Public Strategies Group Inc., will report to the school board, "is being contracted to produce specific leadership results," and will only be compensated if these are achieved.

Steve Zrike (if memory serves, a newsletter editor emeritus) writes that he is "alive and well (alive anyway) and living in Norfolk, Mass. The big news around here is that son Steve Jr. was accepted (early decision) to the class of 1998. Thank God his mother, Sara, is smart. I'm now filling his head with lies about how studious I was. Steve is the oldest of five, so we're looking at imminent poverty here "

Dr. Tom Oxman, whom I remember as a fellow ex-Denverite, is serving as medical consultant to a new 38-bed special-care unit, The Alzheimer Center, which recendy opened in Hanover. He also continues as director of geriatric psychiatry at Dartmouth-Hitchcock

Nelson "Nels" Armstrong writes, "I am living in Cleveland, working as director of alumni affairs at Case Western Reserve University, and enjoying life in general. I was back in Hanover for the Black Alumni of Dartmouth reunion a couple of weeks ago, and I was happy to see that the sights of Hanover still "pull the old heart strings" just as they did 2 7 years ago. I am amazed by the fact that one can stand in the middle of the green in 1994 and see almost exactly the same scene as one did in 1967. As an alumni-affairs direc- tor, I am always trying to get CWRU alumni to 'come home.' Well, I certainly urge any 71 who has not been back to Hanover recently to get back and enjoy the feeling of being home. It did wonders for me, and I bet any and everyone else would love it just as much as I did."

And on that note, I suggest you all mark the 25 th Reunion dates on your calendars now! I'm sure it will do "wonders" for all of us.

Best regards.
