1962

"Try to remember the kind of September....when you were a tender and callow fellow." Perhaps you recall that The Wantastiks Wantastiks played at The Little Theater in Robinson Hall when we were in College. Perhaps, too, you recall a haunting melody that urges reflection on times past. The Fantastiks became the longest running off-Broadway musical in history, although we could not know it then. Nor could we predict where we would be and what we would be doing as the spring of 1998 begins. Diverse careers, jobs, and (for some) fame would unfold over time from our group of callow fellows. The Dartmouth alumni records office retrieves biographies and accolades about those callow fellows from journals, bulletins, and newspapers from all over. It is my privilege to pass them on.

Bob Lightcap has practiced law for more than 30 years and currently is in solo practice in Westmoreland County, Pa. (Since I practice solo general internal medicine, I muse about somehow meeting Bob for coffee and talking about our careers.) Bob earned his J.D. at the University of Pittsburgh in 1965. A nice biography in a Pennsylvania library bulletin last year records his considerable community service and trusteeship in area libraries. Bob lives in Latrobe, Pa., with his wife, Jo Ann. He has two children, Ann, a teacher in Lake Forest, 111., and Christy, a professional jazz musician in New York City. Erwin "Dusty" Miller, another attorney, was written up in the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly some months back. Dusty is a senior partner at Bowditch & Dewey in Worcester, Mass., and has become chairman of the firm's new practice area charitable and exempt organizations. Over many years Dusty has been personally involved in a whole range of charitable and civic activities in the Worcester area and currently is chairman of the Worcester Cultural Commission.

We read in the Caledonian-Record of St. Johnsbury, Vt., that A. Patrick Giles is a ski guy an interesting twist for someone who lives in London. Pat is chairman of EMS, a computer networking and distribution company, as well as CPM, a project management company. He chairs the Giles Group, an international consortium of law firms in London. So what is the ski connection? Well, it turns out that Pat is one of five directors of the Northern Star Ski Corp. that purchased Burke Mountain ski area in Vermont in 1995. The New Britain (Conn.) Herald reported last July that Kent Hutchinson became senior vice president of the Kaman Aerospace Corp. Kent was a naval flight officer after his time at Dartmouth, joined Westinghouse, and was president of the Norden Systems subsidiary of Northrop-Grumann. We know Kent, however, as a most capable mini-reunion and reunion chair of wonderful class reunions.

The clippings file, happily, has many more entries. Unhappily, we are out of our word allowance and must end here, with promises of more "where are they now" in the next column.
