1978

My heartfelt thanks to JaneKirstetter Ingram, who answered my plea for news with more than I ever hoped for. Jane is living in Andover, Mass., busy raising two children, Julie (7) and John (5), doing some part-time consulting work, and lots of volunteer work, including coaching soccer. Last summer Jane visited with AmySimon Berg and her family on Lake Sunapee, N.H. In October Jane got together with Jill Eilertsen Rogers to attend a brunch in honor of the silver anniversary of Ivy championships for women, which took place during Homecoming weekend. Bob Ceplikas was there in his athletics deputy director role. The three of them sat with Aggie Kurtz, the original women's ahletic director and first coach of field hockey, lacrosse, and squash when coeducation began.

While watching Dartmouth narrowly beat Yale, Jane had the opportunity to catch up with Dave Corey, who has just moved from San Francisco to Boston to work for SMASH advertising, Todd

Anderson, Mary Kendall Brown, CurtOberg, and Lou Panella. The various off- spring kept conversations from getting too involved. However, the weekend in Hanover was glorious: warm and sunny, although just past peak leaf colors. (I was there a week earlier for rainy and gray however, I think I caught the peak, along with veritable busloads of others hoping for the same thing.)

Round Top Center for the Arts in Damariscotta, Maine, featured paintings by Ted Arnold in a recent two-person show. Ted's paintings for the show were centered on the theme "Bridesmaids and Groomsmen." An article in the Lincoln County Weekly noted that Ted's works "are not of traditional easel-sized dimensions nor painted on conventional surfaces. In the past he has painted on panels which are actually chair backs, and when exhibited as a group at eye level, suggest a thin line of ribbon encircling the gallery space, leading viewers to believe they are looking beyond the gallery walls."

Back in 1990 Walter Malmquist gave up the bright lights and big city life to be the third generation of his family to run Malmquist Wood Products Inc., a sawmill in Post Mills, Vt. Walter recently received an Entrepreneurial Achievement Award from George S. May International Co. May picked him from a pool of 7,000 clients in its biggest division. The criteria were "a determination to overcome numerous obstacles; a willingness to take necessary risks, listen to outside counsel, and follow through with action." Walter has been active on the local school board, forest commissions, and the School-to-Work program in Vermont, which is trying to involve students more closely with the workaday world. Walter and his wife, Nancy, have a daughter, Tenley.

By the time you read this, 1999 will be around the corner with advent of the Euro and the final year of the twentieth century (or die penultimate year if you believe the twenty-first century will begin January 1, 2001). Please don't let confusion about either of those issues keep you from sending me news!
