1983

I'm here to report that Leslee Subak—Dr. Subak to you—has a new Rolex watch. And, no, it wasn't a splurge on her part although it would have been a well-deserved one. While getting her M.D. from the Stanford University School of Medicine, Leslee managed to find time to serve as president of the American Medical Women's Association and as a member of the medical school admissions panel. After school she did her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California in San Francisco, where she is currendy the attending physician for the dysplasia clinic and instructor in the gynecology section of the preclinical medicine curriculum for second-year medical students.

But one must never underestimate the importance of golf in a doctor's life. Leslee's Rolex was part of her Rolex Achievement Award, given by the College Golf Foundation to honor former collegiate golfers who have attained outstanding success in their chosen field—outside of golf. (Remember, Leslee founded and captained our own women's varsity golf team.) In addition, thanks to Leslee, Dartmouth's golf program will receive a $2,500 donation from Rolex and the College Golf Foundation.

Rolexes are probably old hat to AlanBond, whom the New York Post wrote about under the headline, "Tycoons in the Making." According to that fine and completely reliable publication (I wrote for them once—I needed the money, okay?) Alan paid for Dartmouth and Harvard business school with money earned from stocks his parents let him choose when he was ten.

Alan's picks? Disney, Delta, and GM. Alan went on to form Bond Procope Capital Management in 1991, which today manages about $350 million of pension money for government agencies, labor unions, and a number of corporations, including Seagram.

I hear that Jeff Silberman, JohnDodge, and John Forster '84 recently convened in Hong Kong to look into opening "U.S.-style" microbreweries and brew pubs there. Will they open one? What will the Chinese say? Keep me posted, guys.

"I hope you won't mind my sending you the enclosed item which mentions my wife and your classmate," Alix GoldmanCasler's husband, Christopher, writes. "She is too modest to bring it to your attention and I am too proud of her to let it pass."

Alix is Dr. Casler now. She's also, those of you with children will be especially delighted to learn, the host of Ask thePediatrician on America's Health Network. You can watch Alix on tv two hours a day, five days a week. Millions already do. If your cable company doesn't already have this channel, call them!

Alix, Christopher, and the two-year-old twins Sara and Nicholas all live in Orlando, Fla. From Christopher's note, I'm guessing the twins arrived somewhere around midnight because their birthdays are June 8 and June 9, which I for one think is pretty cool. Sara and Nicholas are potentially third generation Big Green, by the way. Their grandfather, Harry S. Casler, was a '30.

Lynn Johnson and Peter Kidder recently stopped by with their two-yearold twins Tommy and Laura. With Lynn's face and blond curls and Peter's eyes, they are cherubic. (Why don't I just start next month's Class Notes, "Twins, blah, blah, blah, twins, blah, twins, twins, blah, blah, blah," and be done with it?) The Kidders were on route from Palo Alto (Peter has a relatively new job with Silicon Valley Bank), to Manhattan Beach where brother Tim Kidder lives with his wife, Lindsey, and their—congratulations, Tim—one-year-old daughter Katie. Tim's currently working for the business side of The Los Angeles Times.
