1971

Dick Wenzel writes that he retired in June from the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) after 31 years and took the weekend off before starting with Earth Tech (previously Kaiser Engineers). His focus is working on the design of six BART stations for the $6 billion proposed extension of BART to San Jose. The client is the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, which covers the high-tech Silicon Valley and more. He is also spending time in Seattle helping to design Light Rail Transit stations for their new LRT system. How many of us have worked for the same company for 31 years? Spouse Ruth and Dick also had a nice visit from Nona and Doug Boyink not too long ago and he more recently saw Jana and Don Knezek in San Antonio, Texas. These classmates are doing well but are putting in some long work hours trying to get to the promised land (aren't we all?).

Malcom Jones writes that he and spouse Karen finished a marvelous sabbatical in April and now it is "back to work" for both of them. She's working on an online financial newsletter and he is consulting (part time) in both public finance and asset management. What to do when he grows up, there's the question. (I'm sure many of us are still pondering that question.) They are continuing to enjoy living in wine country. Malcom has recently been added to the asset management advisory board of Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He is continuing his volunteer efforts with the San Francisco Symphony, the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art and, of course, Dartmouth.

Philanthropy Today reported that the Bush Foundation (no ties to our current president or his father) has announced that Peter C. Hutchinson will succeed Anita M. Pampusch as the president of the organization. He will be the third leader in the organizations 54-year history. Peter has served as a vice president for the Dayton Hudson Foundation, commissioner of finance for Minnesota, deputy mayor of Minneapolis and superintendent of the Minneapolis school district. He also co-founded Public Strategies Group, a company that helps governments redesign themselves.

Christine B. McCleary writes that spouse Dr. Larry McCleary had a book released recently that I think all of us could benefit from. The title is The Brain Trust Program:A Scientifically Based Three-Part Plan to Improve Memory, Elevate Mood, EnhanceAttention, Alleviate Migraine and Menopausal Symptoms, and Boost Mental Energy. Larry's bio for the book is very impressive and worthy of additional coverage later.

Attorney Richard Hackett, a partner at Pierce At wood LLP, was recently named vice chair of the consumer financial services committee of the business law section of the American Bar Association. He practices in Portland, Maine, and Boston.

Make sure you read the 1970 football team cover story in the fall issue of DAM. It brought back some great memories.
