1968

Multimedia news this month...even face-to-face news! Frank Couper and I had lunch recendy. He was in the Boston area working on estate business for his late uncle, who had a farm in Littleton, Mass. Frank isn't feeling too "hip" these days: last year he had hip replacement surgery, just before our reunion (put a modest crimp into his dancing), and this last April threw his hip out working on the farm. After Dartmouth Frank was in the U.S. Coast Guard for 20 years, followed by a career in environmental law. Lately he has enjoyed serving as a substitute teacher in the Annapolis-area high schools in Maryland. Son Scott is a minister, serving in Durban, South Africa. Daughter Kristen is working as a trainer in South Carolina.

By fax from Charles Woodhouse: "I was busy farming salmon in Chile and shrimp in Equador as president of Marine Harvest (the world's largest salmon producer), until the sale of the company in late 1994. Since then I added a law degree to my earlier Wharton M.B.A. and started two new Latin America-oriented ventures in the aquaculture and produce business, as well as consult on regulatory issues related to that international trade. I also find time to write a monthly column in Fish Fanning International, a magazine dealing with marketing and regulatory issues facing the worldwide aquaculture industry." Charles lives in Philadelphia and Chestertown, Pa., and is married to professor Barbara Woodhouse of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Daughter Jessica is an attorney in Salt Lake City, Utah, and son Kenneth is serving with the first infantry division in Kansas.

By mail from John Pilling: He and Francine spent a day together with Pam and Pete Boorum and Dianne and Dan Bort visiting the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, followed by a barbecue on the Pilling patio. John is busy these days with graphics and wayfinding design for local hospitals, accessibility projects, and a group home.

By e-mail from Clark Wadlow: An exciting and exhausting recap of his and Vicki's ALP (Accelerated Language Program) experience at Dartmouth this past summer, learning Italian in ten and a half days for use during their planned visit to daughter Anne in Rome this fall. Since Vicki had spent some time in Italy, "for her the program would be like an archeological dig in her brain, to retrieve her ability to speak Italian. Since I had been a 'languagechallenged' French student, in my case it would be more like the exploration of space...an effort to determine if there are any intelligent life forms in my brain." He must have found some...he highly recommends the experience!! During his time in Hanover he had a chance to attend the memorial service in Rollins Chapel for Art Hills '41, father of Gerry Hills. Gerry and Martha were there from Hawaii. Hope the fall is treating you all well. Keep the news coming, in any format!
