1965

Despite less than ideal weather, those attending our class mini-reunion in Bermuda had a good time. Those in attendance with spouses and significant others included Amon, Atkinson,Blake, Boe, Griffiths, Hanson, Hermes, Orr, and Webster. Apparendy golf was limited to just one round at Mid Ocean, but having once observed Hank Amon card a hole-in-one there (no kidding, although it was on a second ball), I am trying to confirm a rumor that he did it again! Another highlight was a private catered dinner at the home of a friend of Bob Blake's who also owns one of the inns where some of the group stayed. Although disappointed by the weather, it sounded as though everyone had a good time.

The March 5, 1999, edition of BusinessWire brought news that Penn Sigel, current president and chief operating officer of Potlatch Corp., has been elected to serve as that company's new chairman and chief executive officer effective at the company's annual meeting on May 20, 1999. Penn joined Potlatch in 1979 following eight years with Drexel Burnham Lambert. He was elected vice president, finance, in 1983 and subsequently held executive positions in finance, planning, and the company's wood and pulp-based operations before eventually becoming president of the company in 1994 and a member of the board of directors in 1997. For those of you who do not know, Potlatch Corp. is a large diversified forest products company with operations and timberland in Idaho, Arkansas, and Minnesota.

Speaking of directors, the Feb. 3 editions of The Wall Street Journal revealed that DickLochridge was named a director of the John H. Harland Co., a check printing company. As many of you know, Dick has headed Lochridge and Co., a Boston-based management consulting firm, for many years. Dr. Nicholas Rummo was recently appointed director of cardiopulmonary services at Northern Westchester Hospital Center in Mount Kisco, N.Y. After Dartmouth Nick received his medical degree from Duke medical Center.

Dr. Dick Corkey, a researcher in metabolism at the Boston University School of Medicine, and his wife, Barbara, also a physician, recently purchased two adjoining fourth-floor lofts in a building in the South End of Boston. They are among the first to invest in a new concept in Boston building, according to the Feb. 18 edition of TheBoston Globe. Unlike traditional lofts adapted within existing industrial buildings, their new residence offers loft spaces built precisely for the sake of loft living. They wanted enough space to work on their principle hobbies, which for Barbara is painting and for Dick is woodworking. In fact, according to The Globe article, Dick will do all the cabinetry, a skill he learned at Dartmouth College. Sounds like fun—perhaps there are others of you who are contemplating new and unique homes as we become empty nesters and move toward retirement years. If so, we hope you will share your plans—it might give the rest of us some ideas.

Finally, Allen Zern had suggested in a recent edition of the class newsletter that he was looking forward to watching me bungee jump in New Zealand. While I can tell you that the Zerns and Bordeaus thoroughly enjoyed a spectacular three-week vacation in that beautiful country, there was no way your class secretary would go near the bridge, let alone jump! Sorry, Allen!
