1964

This month I am focusing on the former residents of Little Hall who live east of the Mississippi. Two of them were at last report living in the Midwest. Tom Good (Hudson, Ohio) is a partner with Arthur Anderson in Cleveland, and Fred Toetticher (Farmington Hills, Mich.) is in the advertising business. However, information is that Tom is also well set up (boat, golf, etc.) in Key Largo, Fla. Florida is also home to three '64 lawyers, FredRothenberg (Tampa), Mark Rosman (Hollywood) and Alex Varkas (Key Biscayne). They have just been joined by Dean Fjelstul, who recently retired from Alliant Technologies in Minnesota and moved to the Tampa area where he became chief financial officer for Walters Industries. In addition to his professional responsibilities, Dean indicated that he was not unhappy to say, "farewell" to the Minnesota winters and, "hello" to year-around golf. The Southeast is also home to another Little Hall classmate, Richard Dahl, who is an architect in Atlanta, Ga., and Harry Scharling (Abbeville, S.C.), who is in the textile business with Hydra Industries.

Moving north, Bethesda, Md., is the home of both Eric Thompson, who is director of corporate organizations and restitutions at the office of the comptroller of the currency, and Lou Goodman, who is professor and dean of the School for International Service at the American University. While .Eric and Lou commute into Washington, D.C., Ric Dupuy actually lives there and reverse commutes to College Park, Md., where he is professor of architecture and urban design at the University of Maryland. Further north in Pennsylvania, Barry Shultz (Reading, Penn.) is a urologist, while New York City is the professional home of TedGerbracht (Wautagh, N.Y.), who is a first vice president for Merrill Lynch, responsible for computer security and worldwide disaster recovery planning. However, in his spare time, Ted has earned a Ph.D. in medieval history from N.Y.U., serves on several not-for-profit boards, and is the treasurer of the Episcopal diocese of Long Island. New York City is also home for current Dartmouth trustee, Stan Roman, who is professor and dean of the Sophia Davis School of Biomedical Education.

However, not all of the Little apples fell as far from the tree. Massachusetts is home to at least four of our classmates. StephenHumphrey (Marblehead Neck, Mass.) is president of Bonner Slosberg Humphrey Inc., a Boston-based advertising firm, while John Sottile (Sharon, Mass.) is an independent marketing consultant. ChipNoecker (Concord, MA) is president and CEO of Lamco Communications, a company owning a number of network television stations, while down on the Cape, EdRubal (Harwichport, Mass.) and his wife report that they are "surfing through life with two perfectly normal, hormonal, teenage sons whose unusual and alternative interests never cease to amaze us." (Editor'sNote: Been there, done that!) When not parenting, Ed is a credit officer at the Cape Cod Five Cent Savings Bank.

To the North, Bill Curran (South Portland, Maine) is still teaching and coaching, although the latter is now limited to softball. Even closer to the trunk of the tree are New Hampshire lawyers BobField (North Hampton, N.H.) and CurtLittle (Bedford, N.H.), and, finally, to complete the metaphor, is Dave Hewitt (Lyme, N.H.), who landed among the roots and is the executive vice president of the Dartmouth Printing Co. in Hanover.

Best wishes for the holidays.
