Here's news from Rick Reno via Phil Odence. "Finished out summer among the unemployed. Had a great time hanging out in the mountains. Worked at the Mount Washington Hotel as a bartender. Got married, packed it all in and left New Hampshire. Moved to Phoenix, where we are about to start work for Swift as transcontinental truck drivers. I bet that I'm the first-ever Dartmouth alum to go to graduate school at the Swift Driving Academy, whaddaya think? We'll live in the truck with the dogs, drive about 20,000 to 25,000 miles a month and refill the coffers a little. It's going to be a great adventure."
