1955

Responses have begun to arrive concerning post-Dartmouth athletic achievements, and the achievements of family members, in response to the request for same in the March issue's "Dartmouth Athletics" column, to wit:

• Dave Steinberg (though never a tennis participant at Dartmouth) was ranked in various age categories by the Middle States Tennis Association from 1966 through 1988, reaching as high as No. 10 in the 35-and-over class in singles and up to No. 3 in the 45-and-over class in doubles. With his partner he also went on to win several rounds in national tournaments in the 45-and-over category, reaching a national ranking in the top 15 to 25 for 1981. Unfortunately, for medical reasons (and "old age," he says!) he has left the courts for the links, with the usual frustrations associated with trying to make the little white dimpled ball go where he wants it.

• Harry Ambrose (happily a grandfather again) reports that more and more of our classmates—evidently with the time that retirement provides—are on golf courses, some with notable success, such as DonHummel, a scratch golfer who is club champion at the Indian Hill Country Club in Winnetka, 111. Harry figures there are many others out there enjoying similar successes and satisfactions, and we both hope we will be hearing from them.

• Jere Daniell writes about two record-holders in the Daniell family: His dad, Warren Daniell '2l, skier and outdoorsman, who set the Dartmouth long-distance record for walking—from Hanover to the Massachusetts border, 86 miles in 24 hours; and his brother, Sam '52, T '53, Th '53, who was rated No. 1 in indoor rowing, covering 2,500 meters in 8:49 in the Concept II indoor rowing competition, but whose main event was running, where (still at it) his recent post-60 personal best in the 10k was 39:35.

Elsewhere, class treasurer Ralph Sautter writes of a recent phone call with Dr. HarryMillar, who had a veterinarian practice in New Jersey and now lives in Jupiter, Fla. (Evidently not too far from Ace Hall), where he keeps his hand in by occasionally filling in for other vets, and likes to stay in touch with Dartmouth. In a good phone conversation with Bob Sherburne, I learned that he had retired from a venture capital start-up in Chicago and in June 1996 returned "home" to Kingsboro Mass., where the Sherburne family has been in residence "for a couple of hundred years"; and on the day I spoke with Bob he got the news of a new granddaughter!

Finally, in a praising profile of the renowned editor of Yankee magazine, our own Jud Hale, and his equally renowned publication, The Boston Globe finds in his "funky command post...a large ruddy-faced affable man who could easily be taken for a prosperous dairy farmer," and goes on to note how shrewdly Jud has maintained the image of Yankee and New England (quaint, charming, old-fashioned, a bit eccentric), while creating a magazine that is constantly renewing itself in content and format with articles that are pert, relevant, and often quite controversial. The Globe describes Yankee as "really a thoroughly modern magazine, eclectic and surprising." And Jud adds that the magazine's one-horse sleigh is trotting toward the millennium at warp speed. Obviously, we should all subscribe!
