1957

Along with Princetons Tigertown Five, Williams' Spring Street Stompers, and Browns BruNotes, the Indian Chiefs were an important part of a traditional jazz revival on college campuses in the 19505. Most of the Chiefs were '57s and, when Dave and Celeste Cook hosted a reunion last fall, they played and reminisced for an upcoming video. Please contact Pete Bulli's '54 with memorabilia, mpbullis@comcast.net.

The '57s in the band: Dave on clarinet, along with Al Shapiro, trumpet; Larry Elliott, trombone; John Berge, piano; and Chuck Schroeder and Clif Olds, drums.

Larry spent 20 years in the Air Force as a B-52 navigator, eventually logging 8,500 hours aloft. He doesn't play trombone any more"too hard on the chops"—but he has spent 25 years making music by hooking up synthesizers to computers in his spare bedroom.

A fair number of '57s moved to New Hampshire or Vermont after retirement. When John Farley thinks back over some of the landmarks in his life, he begins with Dartmouth"It was love at first sight, despite the fact that I had never been east of Ashtabula"—and ends half a century later when, "One beautiful May day I bought a condominium in Hanover. According to The Times, the price was about equal to a parking place in Brooklyn." John adds a note about his pride in his daughter and soninlaw, both class of'84.

Barry and Arlene Rotman built a house on a hilltop in Norwich in the late 1980s. Barry writes that they love living in Vermont and being close to Dartmouth. After a recent visit Bob Marchant praised the house for being "organic, wedded to function, taking advantage of what the land and site present."

After a career managing, among other things, a portion of Harvard's endowment, John and Thelma Hewitt moved to New London, New Hampshire, in 1999. They regularly find themselves in Hanover for everything from wine tasting at the Hanover Inn to a women's hockey game."

Pete and Connie Powers, who live in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, were especially excited about visiting the College with their granddaughter for a tour of the Hood Museum and Baker Library.

Roger Cotton Brown has been trying to start a not-for-profit company to address global warming and energy in the West. He's particularly taken by the idea of electrical "mini grids" powered by non-fossil fuel and by trying to launch what he calls "a near 100 percent nonfossil fuel powered and heated village" in Colorado.

Dr. Henry J. Binder, a professor at the Yale School of Medicine, received the Distinguished Mentor Award from the American Gastroenterological Association for his leadership in mentoring young physician-scientists and establishing Yale's gastroenterological research training program.
