1963

Dartmouth hoop dreams should get a boost in September with the arrival of Jay Jenckes '02, the 6' 11" son of Troice and Hank Jenckes of Houston. It seems like yesterday Hank was describing his 5'2", 120-pound eight-year-old. The kid now weighs 260 and wears a size 20 shoe at Lawrenceville, where he played on a 16-4 team. Hank, whose business fortunes mirror the national real-estate market, is very much up. His mortgage finance company does $100 million refinancing shopping centers, office buildings, and apartment complexes around the country. He and Troice fish and hunt for relaxation.

Yes, the good economy'is bringing out the high flyers. Steve Rosen's Aloha Management, Northbrook, III., forecasts $40 million in managed assets, over $10 million in 1997. And John Willets is approaching his tenth year running Sandgrain Securities, a broker-dealer for high net worth individuals in Garden City, N.Y.

Apparently some deep pockets are becoming less generous. Mike Cardozo announced the dissolution of the President Clinton Legal Defense Fund, which Mike headed up, for lack of contributions.

He's presently in a shareholders' rights case over in Keene, which will be followed by a personal injury suit. Lisa lives in San Francisco and Amanda in Goldens Bridge, N.Y., so Jim and Susan have had time to travel recently in Italy and Switzerland.
