1964

Roger Hull has exciting news on a new venture. Roger has had a terrific career as an educator, having been president of Beloit College from 1981 to 1990 and chancellor of Union University from 1990 to 2005. "I went off in 2005 on a new venture—setting up after-school academies on college campuses for at-risk, grade school children. I have five colleges on board—and 3,598 to go (including Dartmouth), which should keep me occupied for a while." His program was developed at Beloit and it has changed "the lives of several hundred at-risk kids and, like Johnny Appleseed, we are sprinkling it across the country." Please take a look at www.helpyourselffoundation.org, which is his nonprofit with a great purpose. Best continued success. Kudos to Dr. Barry Pressman, who is the newly elected president of the American College of Radiology—a national nonprofit association serving more than 32,000 members. Barry lives in the Los Angeles area, has two daughters and recently celebrated his first grandchild. In his spare time he loves to play golf with his wife, Sandy ("perfect name"). "I am in contact with Larry Muroff, who is also a radiologist living in Tampa, Florida. But he apparently did it better since he has retired." Scott Skinner is still climbing mountains, literally. He is well on his way to climbing the 40 peaks of 4,000 feet or more in the White Mountains in his 65th year. At this writing he has made his goal. In 2006 Scott and his wife, Maty, climbed Kilimanjaro and in April of 2007 he was part of a group that trekked up the Rongbuk Glacier to Everest advanced base camp at 21,500 feet. After Dartmouth "I was a Peace Corps teacher in Nepal, where I have returned on many occasions, most recently to inaugurate a primary school that I and my law partner raised the funds to build." Google Phulmaya Foundation for more information about Scott's nonprofit that helps Nepalese children. Great work. Ron Schram is about to publish his book titled Sports: A Generation'sCommon Bond—Personal Stories: How Sports Influenced the Lives of Dartniouth '64s. Ron collected the stories of some 66 classmates, put them into 353 Pages and priced it at $19.95 with discounts for classmates. The publisher is Author House. Any profits will benefit the class Rockefeller intern project. What a gift from Ron! Thanks. I mention with sadness the death of our classmate Bill Ringham. Don Kubit, his college roommate, has written the obituary that appears in this edition. We as a class extend our deepest condolences to Bill's wife, Anne, and his two children.

Homecoming is October 19-20 and I hope you have a chance to come back and enjoy one of the best weekends of the Collegeyear. Ahighlight is the dinner that Bill Lewis and Mary Ann are hosting for the class on October 20 at their Connecticut River place. Thanks, Bill and Mary Ann! Details of Homecoming class activities are in the class newsletter. Please e-mail me your news/stories interests.
