1954

Since all of you read this column before the remainder of the Alumini Magazine, I am sure you are unaware that this month's edition is devoted to women at Dartmouth. Thus, it is appropriate that this month's notes recognize '54 wives who have done things beside keeping us on the straight and narrow (a fulltime task in itself).

Gail Barker has been a professional broadcaster for 30 years. Presently, she is an insurance advisor to Sedgwick James, (consulting for the placement of insurance for the entertainment industry). She is an adjunct professor at Fordham (teaching "The Changing Business of Broadcasting and Cable"), and a consultant to Jankowski Communications (where she advises strategy related to the purchase of T.V. stations). Lastly, she is president of Women's Broadcasters Inc., a firm owning a permit to build and operate a radio station in Montauk, N.Y.

Marilyn Grassey left Smith in the 1950s to go on to other things and in 1991 re-entered Smith as an Ada Comstock Scholar, living as a student at Smith and graduating in 1993. In 1995 she obtained a master's in library science and is now working as a librarian at Berkeley College of Business in New Jersey.

Carol Robinson has taught for 32 years. From 1979 to 1988 she was headmistress at the Country School, a primary school in Madison, Conn., and is now teaching French at Sacred Heart Academy in Hamden.

Anne Hartman has held several positions at the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington, Conn., serving as a tour and public relations coordinator, public relations director, and acting director. Since retiring Anne has been pursuing her interests in painting.

Barbara Berlin has taught advance placement art history at The Pingry School in Martinsville, N.J., for 22 years. She also served as your correspondent's personal docent.

Jean Adnopoz has been an associate professor at Yale Medical School at the Yale Child Study Center since 1970. Her responsibilities include working with highrisk children and their placement out of the home.

Anne Low has for many years been operating a business that books ski trips to the western United States and Europe. Her company, Ski Consult, works as a sales representative for Lynx Ski Tours. Some years ago, Ann started planning ski trips for family and friends and enjoyed doing it somuch that she formed a business planning ski trips.

Carol Mullins has just retired after serving 12 years on the Evanston Board of Education (three years as president). She is also director of leadership of an organization called Evanston Community Leadership, which instructs people how to be leaders in the community.

We should also recognize the creative artists and sculptors, Marilyn Clements,Judy Steinberg, and Hedy Klineman, and the master chef, Millie Chan.

The obvious problems I have in writing this column is, unlike in the newsletter, I am limited by space and the phenomenal wives I do not know about. Another column would be appropriate if you communicate with me. (Try e-mail).
