1965

By all accounts the class minireunion in Charleston, S.C., was a great success. Those in attendance raved about the beauty of the city, the great restaurants, the weather, the golf, and the camaraderie of classmates as we collectively celebrate 55th birthdays. An incomplete list of those in attendance includes Judy and Allen Zern, Hank Amon and Karen Kolodny, Bill Webster, Jeannine and Mike Orr, Debbie and Jim Griffiths, Anne and Ted Bracken, Dick Harns and Susan Rawls, Susy and Rob Hartford, Roger Rines, and Robbie Robinson and Anne Conway. Alike Orr deserves tremendous credit for organizing such a fine event. Unable to resist the temptations of playing some of the great golf courses in the area, Mike and Bill Webster, joined by Dick Lochridge, stayed on for several more days at reportedly "sub-par" golf. Mike was heard muttering that he wished "old five putt" had been there for moral support and comic relief.

Robert H. Bohannon, chairman and chief executive officer of Viad Corp. announced that the board of directors has promoted Wayne A. Wight to vice president, corporate development. Wayne's career started as an internal auditor with Armour and Co. in Chicago in 1969, just before the Greyhound Corp., Viad's predecessor, acquired Armour. After his Dartmouth degree in economics Wayne received his M.B.A. from Tuck, majoring in finance. He spent two years in the U.S. Army Transportation Corps as a first lieutenant and served in Vietnam as a company commander, earning a Bronze Star for meritorious achievement. Wayne and his wife, Pam, live in Phoenix, Ariz., and have three children.

The American Society for Testing and Materials based in West Conshohocken, Penn., announced on April 21 that Bruce Cassel, senior staff scientist for the Perkin Elmer Corp of Wilton, Conn., has received the 1998 American Society for Testing and Materials Award of Merit from standardswriting Committee E-37 on Thermal Measurements. The tide of fellow accompanies the award. Bruce was cited for meritorious service and leadership in Committee E-37 in aiding the development and publication of various test methods and serving as a committee officer for many years. After receiving his B.S. in chemistry from Dartmouth, Bruce received his Ph.D. at Clark University in Worcester, Mass., in 1971 and then participated in post-doctoral work at the University of Delaware. He began his industrial career at Perkin Elmer in 1972, rising through the ranks to become senior staff scientist in 1992. The Belleville Enterprise of Wayne, Mich., announced on January 29, 1998, that Father George Rutler, program host for the "Eternal

Word Television Network" was to be the guest speaker at Kresge Hall on the Madonna University campus on February 12. He was to speak on "Capitalism after Marxism." After Dartmouth Father Ruder earned degrees from Johns Hopkins and Oxford University. The titles of two of his books are The Impatience of Job and Beyond Modernity.

Finally, I must sadly report on the recent passing of Ted Atkinson's wife, Ann. Many of us had come to know Ann through the Atkinsons' frequent attendance at our minireunions. Her warm, caring, and friendly personality made us all feel as though we had known her forever. The class extends profound sympathy to Ted, their son Ted 111, and twin daughters Andrea and Emily.
