1971

I want to apologize for my unfortunate proofreading error which resulted in the May column mis-identifying classmate Henry R. Allen, who passed away last December. Mike Brooks, a close friend of Henry's, wrote the obituaiy which will appear in the Alumni Magazine, and provided the following information: Henry fought a year-and-a-half battle against cancer with courage and determination. In 1981 Henry had become the town manager of Wethersfield, Conn., where he continued to live when he later changed careers. Henry was a tireless volunteer, a natural organizer and leader, and a dedicated supporter of his community. Henry's friends have launched a drive to dedicate a fountain and small park in Wethersfield to Henry and his wife, Patricia, to honor all community volunteers. Donations can be sent in Henry's memory to: the Wethersfield Historical Society, Friends of the Fountain Fund, 200 Main St., Wethersfield, CT 06109.

Rick Harris has been named the John B. McKinnon Professor of Managerial Economics and Finance at the Babcock School of Wake Forest University. Professor Harris specializes in pricing tactics and capacity planning, integrating functions traditionally ascribed to marketing, operations and finance. His research focuses on the application of capacity-constrained pricing models to stock specialists and electronic trading systems.Twenty years after graduation with a philosophy major, JonathanFrost went back to school, this time to art school, to accomplish his goal of earning a living as an artist. In April his first book was published. Gowanus Dogs, a children's story he wrote and illustrated, is based on a series of etched prints he made while attending the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1995. He now works as a painter and printmaker at his studio in Camden, Maine, where he moved last year.

And from Tim Dreisbach, class projects chair: "The class has sponsored a recently completed project to convert space in the Benton Bunkhouse at Moosilauke Ravine Lodge to a new bunkroom (suitable for families). We have also committed to support, on a continuing basis, the maintenance of the building which henceforth will be known as the 'Class of 1971 Benton Bunkhouse.' We are considering having a little ceremony there at the time of the Ravine Lodge 60th anniversaiy this Oct. 1-3; it would be great to have a lot of '7ls in attendance (pay attention, Dave Edson). With the help of Bill Phillips, our class is a sponsor of the Dartmouth Film Society golden anniversary Oct. 15-17. Dartmouth alumni who have distinguished themselves in film-related activities are being invited to campus to participate. (You should have received a promotional flyer which displayed the class support prominently.) Timing required the event be scheduled on the same weekend as our minireunion at the Yale game, but I hope we'll have good representation at both events. We continue to sponsor undergraduate interns through the Dickey Center for International Understanding. We have chosen this endeavor because of our respect for John Sloan Dickey, who championed the awareness of international issues among students: "The world's troubles are your troubles, and there is nothing wrong with the world that better human beings cannot fix.' Many of us still want to know what tangible on-campus entity we can leave our mark on, so let's all do some more creative thinking. I'll be in Hanover for the Moosilauke event, and will be doing some investigating. Meanwhile, all ideas are welcome!" Peace.
