1950

In October on a football weekend, the Tuck School class of 1951 had its 50th reunion and among the participants were Ken Edelson, WaltLindenthal, Bill Cross, and Jim Gaylord. There may have been others.

Meet the new president, of the class that is: Bob Wilkinson came to Dartmouth from Mt. Hermon School, then living in New York City. He majored in chemistry and zoology, was a member of Gamma Delta Chi and was active in the Ledyard Canoe Club, the Human Rights Society, and the Dartmouth Christian Union. He married Carolyn Cobb (Mt. Holyoke '51) and they have three children including Amy '78 and Monty '83. Bob graduated from NYU Med School, trained at hospitals in Brooklyn and Syracuse, served two years in the Army Medical Corps in Germany, and has practiced and taught in internal medicine in Washington, D.C., since 1962. He interviews applicants for Dartmouth, was president of the Dartmouth Club of Washington and named club president of the year in 1979, was a member of the Alumni Council '79-'82, and was cited for "outstanding service to the Alumni Fund" in 1994.

Lee and Margie Sarokin have relocated from New Jersey to sunnier Ranch Santa Fe, Calif. The retired U.S. circuit judge says the report of his being seen at the Republican national convention last summer was in error. "For the time being, the reports of my conversion to conservatism are greatly exaggerated!

Speaking of sunny climes, you snowbunnies who live in Florida or are visiting in March or April should contact BobMcllwain to see if anything's up by way of a '5O get-together. Bob's in Vero Beach and can be reached at (561) 234-2288.

Had a fun note from Chuck McCaleb pointing out that I got myself caught in the "revolving door" syndrome: it keeps coming around. I'd mad.e an error in one issue and then made another in the correction in this DAM column a few months later. Chuck is probably retired from editing and tech-writing for an aerospace company, but I suspect he's still teaching sociology at the Univ. of California in San Jose.

I get news of last summer's Alaska canoe trip in drips and drabs. Led by intrepid Cul Modisette, Les Voyageurs apparently did 500 miles down the Sheenjek, Porcupine, and Yukon rivers, all above the Arctic Circle. I know they included Johnny Weber, Herb Ray, and JacquesHarlow, but don't know who the other 'sos were.

I was in Alaska at the same time as the canoers, but did it by car with two sons: the Canadian Rockies, Calgary and Edmonton, the Alcan Highway, Mt. McKinley, Denali National Park, Anchorage, Homer, and parts in between. A fabulous part of the world. Do it if you possibly can.

We were supposed to hook up with Chuck and Sally Martin at Denali, but missed. Sally was on the last legs (pun intended) of a bicycle trip around the world!

Jacques Harlow has been elected to the council of the Village of Ridgewood, N.J., and writes of recently spending a day at the Bergen County Fire Academy fighting simulated fires while toting 85 pounds of equipment.

Two issues ago, I included a plea for news to be sent me via Christmas cards. The net result: 1. The rest were from good buddies with whom Barbara and I trade cards every year anyway. Hellooo, is anyone out there?
