1959

The response to the "green cards" class newsletter editor Bob Johnson sent out with his May 1995 newsletter was good. Keep them coming! This month's mail is pretty much a "grabbag," so if you don't see a theme here, it's because there isn't one.

John Orcutt and wife Cindy, both architects, have restored a farmhouse near Freeport, Maine, as their personal residence. For details on this, one will be amply rewarded by consulting the February 1996 Maine Homes and Gardening issue of Down East Magazine. The front-porch roof is supported by several columns with large cylindrical metal rings between the columns and the roof. They look like "O"s, the initial of John's surname. Appearing as they do on the tops of the columns prompted the magazine to dub the residence "the lollipop"house." John says that things are busy at the couple's new firm in Yarmouth, Orcutt Associates. John, Cindy, and daughter Hannah (8) enjoy Nordic skiing in winter and bicycle-riding in warmer seasons. They have taken extensive bike tours in Southern France, New York state, and Maine. John hopes one day to compete in the Ragbrai, a week-long bicycle trip across the state of lowa.

Sam Adams and wife Nancy hosted Ted Gude, Mike Nolen, Scott Palmer, and Clark Griffiths '57 for a spring gathering in Lincoln, N.H., well-timed to coincide with alumni activities involving some in the group.

Congratulations to John Hanson, who was recently named director of admissions at Middlebury College! As many of us know, John has held important positions at the University of Oregon, U.C.L.A., and Stanford, and was formerly dean of students at Dartmouth.

Bob Josefsberg, a named partner in a Miami law firm, was named vice president of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers. Bob also served as general counsel to former Governor Graham in the early 1980s.

Jack Wells, who was elected to represent District 27 in the Montana state legislature, is seeking re-election to that post at about the time you are reading this. Jack retired in April as a colonel in the U.S. Air Force.

John May's law practice in Lancaster, Pa., is primarily limited to estates and trusts. His avocation has been developing software for the practice of law in the areas of federal estate taxes, family law, and child support. John, who has sent a daughter and a son to Dartmouth, has been active as class agent for the Central Pennsylvania region.

Pete Vultee resides on the shores of Lake Roosevelt some 30 miles south of the Canadian border in Kettle Falls, Wash. He teaches at a local community college and is a G.E.D. examiner for three counties in his area.

Ray Becker, who has retired from running the information services consulting division of Keane Inc., started a new venture in the United States last year for Siemens Nibxdorf, a $6-billion-a-year German hardware and packaged software company. Ray and wife Arlyss returned in June from six months in Munich.
