1964

It is one year since we had our 40th reunion and our class tree remains under siege. We are on our second sugar maple, and I notice that heavy equipment/trailers are assembling in front of Alumni Gym for planned renovations, and our tree is "in their way." Tough to be a sugar maple on campus these days with all the construction. Bill Hamm sends greetings from Lafayette, California, where he is managing director for LECG, an international consulting firm. Bill loves what he does, and is not ready to retire. He is married to Kathleen Kelley—the "worlds most beautiful economist." Bill has a Ph.D. in economics from Michigan and has had a really interesting career in and out of the public/private sectors. If I had more space, I would have included a picture of Bill washing down an elephant named Lisa. Apparently there is a place in Salinas, California, Vision Quest Ranch, where you can have a domestic safari. Need to check that out. Rick Isaacson, our esteemed 40th reunion souvenir chairman, has weighed in with "fodder." Rick just completed his 37th anniversary at IMG (formerly headed up by the legendary Mark McCormick), where he is heading up client licensing activities worldwide. He and Phyllis—married for 35 years—have two sons, Danny '95 and Andy (Brown '99). Rick sent along a "small world" story of eating at the Carnegie Deli and sitting next to a person (with unusual tastes in sandwiches) who is best friends of our classmate, Bill Barnet, mayor of Spartanburg, South Carolina. If you go to the Carnegie Deli don't order a pastrami on white bread with mayo and American cheese unless you can deal with penetrating questions from Rick. Rick has recently been a guest lecturer on negotiations for Roy Lewicki at Fisher College of Business at Ohio State. Bob Engleman sends his greetings from Desert Mountain, Arizona, where he has the joy of "having time to do what you want, the health with which to enjoy it, plus a bunch of people you love with whom to spend it. I have it all—a truly lucky guy." He sits on several boards, including the MB Bank in Chicago, Rhino Sports and the TesseracT School in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Bob and his wife have six children, of which the two oldest went to Dartmouth and have written books, the third has also published, the fourth is a money manager and the two remaining are at home. The youngest came from China and Bob recounts where each year a group of families who adopted get together for a weekend—this year the reunion will be in China. Happy traveling.
