1971

71 A meeting of the executive/ reunion committee was held in New York on March 14. In attendance were JohnColangelo, Charlie Collier, Tony Fitzpatrick, Bob Lider, Ray Marks, Michael Maynard, JeffMcElnea, Jon Osgood, John Shanahan, and myself. Charlie announced that David Prentice '69 has been selected to produce the reunion yearbook, and by the time you read this a newsletter will have been dispatched detailing your role in providing input to the yearbook. Jon Osgood indicated that some chairmanships remain open and efforts will be made to identify volunteers in the next few weeks. Nels Armstrong, who apparently successfully ducked a supporting role in the last reunion by moving to Ohio, has agreed to be food and catering chairman.

And speaking of Nels, the following arrived in the mail signed "Still the roving reporter": "Now I know I have the best job in the world! As director of alumni relations for Dartmouth, I get to travel quite a bit on behalf of the College, so now I really get to see classmates all over the country. About a month ago I was in Denver attending the 100th anniversary of the Dartmouth Club of the Rockies. Classmates Doug Best and Bill Tanis were there and looking good. Following on the heels of that trip, I had the chance to visit the Washington, D.C., alumni club where Peter Pratt (there with his lovely wife, Marsha) is president. Peter and classmate John Kornmeler are in business together down in the nation's capital. Things didn't stop there. Michael Fay and I shared some laughs in Boston not long ago during the Boston Club executive meeting. And while I haven't made it out to San Francisco as of yet, Willie Bogan and I have been on the phone talking about getting together sometime soon. So look out '71s, wherever you are. I will be in your area soon. And please stop by the office (third floor of Blunt Center) whenever you're in Hanover."

David Green was recently named East Coast Distributor of the Year at Multi Pure, a water purification company where he is involved in selling the product and managing a large sales team. Writes David, "My son Jesse, 18, just returned from Saugerties, Woodstock '94. Like father, like son. He's headed to UNH this fall after a high-school lacrosse season in which he made the H.S. All American team."

Randy Vik says he's "still working—ten years now—hope to pay off the house soon and retire again. Well into my forties and still haven't found it necessary to be a doctor or lawyer or scientist or biz guy. Riding motorcycles still a necessity."

Ken Jacobsen is remarried, living in Indiana, and has just received a Master of Divinity degree from Earlham College in preparation for the Quaker ministry which "can range from pastoring to UN peace work to jail ministry to teaching." He and his wife, Katherine, are looking at administering a Quaker school in eastern Ohio; meanwhile Ken practices his carpentry trade. He adds that he has "two wonderful daughters, ages 15 and 21."

Carl Soderland writes, "Have lived in Ipswich on the northeast Massachusetts coast for 15 years. Lots of Dartmouth alums, young and old. Have practiced internal medicine, now combined with Lahey Clinic, and am interacting with the Hitchcock Clinic. I'm serving as executive medical director for the Lahey/Harvard Community Health Plan Partnership as well. My wife, Diane, and I have two children, spend a lot of time hiking and backpacking in northern New England, Wyoming, and Montana, and have become enamored with fly fishing. Looking forward to our 25th Hard to believe."
