1968

Dartmouth 1968. From my visit with Cliff Groen last fall, he headed me toward two other classmates. Larry Hall wrote me and Cliff from Hawaii, where he is with the Bank of Hawaii, in charge of Pacific Island operations. He's seen Daniel Tom a couple times in Honolulu. Daniel works in the University of Hawaii's language lab and is a member of a chorus that sings barbershop quartet-type music. Larry was in D.C. this past fall and had lunch with Noel Augustyn and just missed seeing Hank Paulson. Hawaii had just been through an earthquake...no problems for Halls or Bank of Hawaii but he said island Kona and Mauna Kea Beach Resort had considerable damage. Larry and wife Sol extend an invitation to all classmates to drop in if ever in Hawaii.

Nice long telephone conversation with Howie Anderson. Besides being a government major and on the track team for a couple of years during his Dartmouth days, he reports he majored in road trips. Most memorable was one to Syracuse with some Tabard buddies. While on the thruway, side by side with another car heading to Syracuse, they passed assorted libations through the windows between cars at 65 miles an hour. He didn't ride with those guys for later road trips. He also reports a dubious record in his freshman year of getting straight 5.0s fall semester and 2 D warnings at midterm second semester (both later redeemed a bit by semester end). His parents were suffering whiplash. At Harvard Law he encountered a. Paper Chase experience with a professor who targeted him for special attention and intimidation, and later with roomies Cliff Groen and Joe Grasso won a prize in moot court, an autographed copy of the Godfather (because Michael Corleone went to Dartmouth?). He served as a criminal prosecutor in New Jersey for five years, then was chief counsel to a congressional Koreagate investigation. Now in private practice in Washington, he has done trial work including Sears v. the U.S. government, a winning case that took "two Cubs seasons." Current work is focused on corporate compliance, something he describes as serving as a legal proctologist for American corporations. Son David, a high school classmate of Chelsea Clinton, went to Columbia and is now at Michigan in a Ph.D. program in math. Daughter Kate recently finished at Georgetown. Wife Cindy is a Wellesley grad, class of 1969. At a recent reunion, he also ran into Hank Paulson, another Wellesley husband (Wendy). Recent favorite experience: climbing Mt. Fuji in Japan at age 60. Howie had lived in Japan as a child and was to climb the mountain as an 11- year-old. He got sick then and could not go, to his regret. It took 49 years, but he made it. Admiral John Eisold was prominent in the news, commenting on the condition of stricken Senator Tim Johnson. Keep the news coming, all, and have a good winter.
