1974

It won't be long now 'til June is here. For those of you who are still undecided about whether or not to make the trip to Hanover for the 25th, suffice it to say we'd love to see you.

If you haven't been back in a while, I can say from personal experience that Hanover is much easier to get to than it used to be. Manchester Airport is nice and new, and served by major carriers such as Southwest and US Airways.

You can get updated information on who's coming by going to the Dartmouth Alumni website, located at . Locate the class of '74 and voila! You can also look for any changes in the schedule that may have occurred since the last mailing. Right now we have close to 200 class members committed to coming, many with spouses and children. The activities are organized so that there is always "something for everyone." I'm especially looking forward to playing golf and hiking up Mount Moosilauke with Bruce Williamson's son, John (who is also my godson).

As I've always said in these pages, please e-mail or write me if you would like the phone number, address, or e-mail address of a classmate with whom you'd like to keep in touch. Many have been pleasantly surprised and pleased at an opportunity to catch up with old friends.

Phil Franklin has been named as CFO for Littlefuse, in Des Plaines, Ill. His new company manufactures electronic, power, and automotive fuses and has sales engineering and distribution facilities throughout the world. Over across the river in Vermont, Mark Young is president and CEO of the First National Bank of Orwell. Mark is also the town treasurer and serves as a member of the Vermont legislature. His son, Russell, just graduated from Dartmouth last year and is now in law school. We'll look forward to seeing you, Susan, and family at the 25th, Mark. Down the road in Brattleboro, PeteCole recently joined the Holstein Association as director of registry processing and policy administration. Pete owned and operated his own dairy farm, Sleepers Meadow Dairy, located in Newbury. Pete has joined the "back-to-school" fray by pursuing a master's degree in public administration at the University of Vermont.

Mitchell Friedman exhibited his artwork this past December at the Weir Farms Visiting Artists exhibit in Stamford, Conn. He has taught at Dartmouth and California State and been a visiting lecturer at Harvard and Williams.

So da tree a yuse'll all be there in June, right?
