1971

By the time you receive this edition of DAM, spring should have arrived here in New York. It has been another cold and snowy winter in the Northeast (global warming?!) and we are all looking forward to flowering bulbs and green grass.

Malcolm Jones writes that he had a visit last summer from Jeff McElnea and his father, Bill 44. In addition, he continues to see Willis Newton and his wife, Peggy, who live near Malcolm in San Francisco (they share S.F. Symphony tickets). The son of his college roommate, Rich Harvey, also visited last summer. Malcolm plans to attend our March 11 dinner in N.Y.C. (by the time you read this, we will know if he made it or not).

Nels Armstrong, our man in Hanover, reports that Tom Price had surgery last fall, which was performed by classmate Frank Watkins. Nels received word from LaVergne Randolph that he is still living in the Boston area and doing well. Nels is looking forward to hearing from Robert Pinderhughes, William Mansker and Abdul Karim (for-merly Robert Carter). As always, Nels is a font of information and assists greatly in keeping track of wayward classmates. You can reach Nels at nelson.armstrong.71@alum.dartmouth.org.

Kathy Duff Rines, who was a senior transfer student from Smith in 1970-71, writes that she still makes her home in Detroit, Michigan, but spends a great deal of time in Hanover. She has two daughters, Jackie (a sophomore in the art school at Alfred University in New York) and El- lie (in the 10th grade at Berkshire School in Sheffield, Massachusetts); she lost her husband of 22 years John, in April of 2002, when he died suddenly in their apartment in New York City. Kathy would love to hear from old Dartmouth friends at kathyrines@aol.com

Be sure to visit our class of 1971 Web site, which has been updated with many corrected e- mail addresses and new Class Notes. Once again, thanks to our Webmeister Don O'Neill for keeping our Web site in order. The news from classmates has been sparse over this long, cold winter, and I would appreciate it ifyou would pass along any news of yourself or other classmates for inclusion in these articles. It is hoped that, when you read these articles, a fond memory of our short stay in Hanover will be awakened and we will be reminded of simpler times when our most serious crisis was an overdue paper, an incomprehensible test question, a nightmarish blind date or insufficient change for a "chip" keg .Please send us your news!
