1970

Remember when our muddy tracks crisscrossed the layer of winter slush between Baker and Hopkins Center, from Dartmouth Hall to Collis? Well, it hasn't taken long for the end of winter snow to vanish and the first blades of grass to sprout on the Green.

Over the fax machine comes news from Dave Noyes: "You must be really desperate if you need to get news from me for the class column." Well, yes, Dave, to be frank. He lives in Warren, N.J., and commutes to work in N.Y.C., where he's the chief credit officer at Reliance Group Holdings. Due to the limited snowfall in the East this year, Dave writes that the family has given up on downhill skiing in favor of cross-country skiing. Besides his weekly tennis, Dave also boasts about roller blading on the boardwalks of southern California while his children, Amber and Tyler, are busy doing TV commercials. T.J. Rodgers reports that he has planted more than an acre of prime French pinot noir around his house in Woodlands, Calif. "The first crop is now in a Francois Freres barrel, the same one used by the famous Domaine de la Romanee Conti in Burgundy." Hey, how about some primo vino for our 30th Reunion, only a few years away? (I never liked Thunderbird). News from Worcester finds Frank Puccio Jr. practicing civil and commercial litigation while also serving as president of the Dartmouth Club of central Massachusetts. He and wife Nicolina (his blind date at Winter Carnival '67) enjoy the privileges of an "empty nest" since his son Justin recently got married and his daughter Erica works for the Vermont Symphony Orchestra.

Regarding our class homepage on the Internet and an e-mail list-serve, BillKoenig, Dave Graves, and Star Johnson deserve our thanks for the amount of time and work they are putting into the project. Jeff Dahlman, our class agent, is interested in setting up a "real audio" feature for those who enjoy a human voice. They are suggesting that we should start pooling our e-mail addresses and then utilize a password (like our college IDs, which are on the label of the Alumni Magazine) to avoid putting too much information on the Web that might violate anyone's privacy.

Tom Reddy e-mails that he has been living with his wife, Linda, in the East Bay across the bridge from San Francisco. They have two boys, Grant 13 and Cullen 10, who reportedly enjoy their dad's coaching talents. Tom is a partner with McCutchen, Doyle, Brown & Enersen, one of the old S.F. firms. He writes, "No fellow '7os are on my regular pathways, although I see Barry Doyle once a year. I know that Scott Anthony (with whom I also went to high school) is still in town playing the banjo and painting wonderful watercolors and that Peter Logan is a lawyer in town and to my knowledge doesn't play drums anymore, but I could be wrong." Terry Shumaker was featured in an executive profile in Business N.H. Magazine. He has been practicing labor and employment law in Concord. He worked hard for President Clinton's reelection so look forward to another federal appointment (in 1994 Clinton appointed Terry to the National Commission of Employment Policy). In response to a question about what he would rather be doing, Terry said he'd prefer, "playing in the PGA tour."

L&F: Tom Reddy wants to hear from Rick Kenney.
