November 1990 Yes, we are champions again!! I hope many of you were able to be there to celebrate in the victories. What a change from last year's doldrums season. Not only did football bring horne the bacon, but the men's soccer team won the Ivy's, men's cross country won its seventh straight Heps, and rugby is having a tremendous season. It sure makes the encounters with business associates from those lesser schools a little easier.

The Fall has brought another job change for me. I recently joined a company in West Lebanon, Direct Imaging. It is a small start-up which makes a machine to manufacture multi-layer printed circuit boards. We need sales, so if anyone out there needs quick turn PCBs (1 day!), give me a call at (603)298- 8383.

Ted Scheu (Sherborn, MA) has started his own advertising and communications business in Wellesley, Adsrniths. He specializes in press releases, brochures and other public items requiring copy. Ted recently ventured up to Hanover for Nick's ('78) wedding. Ted is married and has 2 children ages 5 and 2. Robin is a VP in commercial banking at Bank of Boston. So if any of you need some excellent marketing material created, give Ted a call (508)239-3553. DARTMOUTH '76 Newsletter November 1990

Lest you think this is an advertising column, let me continue with the class green cards.

Christopher Davidson (Beverly Hills, CA) [I forgot to include the following press release in my last newsletter]: "Chris Davidson has been named Vice President, Current Programs for Fox Broadcasting Company, it was announced today by Paul Stupin, Executive Vice President, Series Programming, to whom he will report. Mr Davidson will oversee the production and development of Fox's current prime time programming. 'We are very excited to have Chris Davidson on board to supervise our current prime time schedule. His skills in this area are among the best in the business and we look forward to the many contributions he will bring to the department,' Mr. Stupin said. Mr Davidson comes to Fox from CBS Entertainment, where he served for two years as its Director of Current Programs. He had been with CBS Broadcast Group for 10 years in various capacities both in Los Angeles and New York prior to his appointment as Director. Mr. Davidson began his broadcasting career in Houston at Taft Broadcasting Corporation where he served as consultant to the president. While there, he oversaw the planning of a television station in Hartford, VT."

Dan Sheedy (Malden, MA): "Two big events this year. Just promoted to tan (oops, tax) manager at Deloitte & Touche in Boston. Also elected president of Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Boston. This is going to be the challenge. Tell classmates and other classes I need help (50 Milk Street, Boston, MA 02109). See Tom Gwin and his wife and 2 kids often. Often see other Dartmouth classes, Bob Leach. Everyone is fine."

Marc G. Lacasse (Arlington, MA): "I guess it is about time to write again. I am still working at the Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge. Last fall my wife and I bought a house in Arlington and have spent the last year turning it into a home. In early May our first child was born (so much for working on the house!>, a son we named William."

Jeff Zesiger (Northhampton, MA): "Eureka, I will be a Daddy again, Jan 1991! Even with my medical background, I was amazed at how well I could see Igor with the ultrasound. Fingers, eyes, heart and, yes, even a male device. Seeing your own kid makes medicine personal. Dorien got through the first trimester with only one good boot!! Women are tough."

Joel Goldfield (Durham, NC): "Iris, Julian (our 5-week old, born in Lebanon, NH) and I are headed South for my sabbatical at Duke and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Will be working on computer and language 1 learning projects and a book on 19 h Century French literature (do n·t ask me how they

/Jre relA ted! And it's IIOl /J typo.) Looking forward to the on-going "sabbatical project" with Julian most of all! Any 76'ers in the Raleigh-Durham and Chapel Hill area?" 2203 Sprunt Ave., 27705, (919)684-3637 wk.

Chip Abrahamsen (Largo, FL): Chip, it was great to get your note. Can anyone fill in the missing word from JoAnn's infamous quote? 'Aren't my-­ -- pisser, Dickie?' "I've settled into life on the West Coast of Florida. Being an Orthopedic Surgeon in Florida is like being a mechanic in a junkyard. Shot a 38 on the back nine of a Tom Fazio designed course last week - difficult, considering the flying elbow, so useful in chugging, wreaks havoc on one's golf game (but so essential to your chugging style, Chipper, you've got to have priorities!). I visited Peter Friedensohn in Milton, MAin August- he has three children to match my three. Coaching my six year old son's soccer team and working on my "E" license. Putting the finishing touches on a beach house if anyone is interested in visiting." 10556 Indian Hills Court, 34647.

John Reidy (Walpole, MA): "My wife Maureen and I have two children now. Caroline was born April 24, 1990 and joins her brother Christopher, age 4. I am now an attorney at Riemer & Braunstein. We represent many banks in the Boston area and therefore are very busy."

Gregory Payne (Burbank, CA): "Still in Los Angeles practicing cartoon law at DIC Animation City, Inc. DIC has about 30% of the Saturday morning TV market. It his a lot of fun, but certainly not "Hollywood". Margaret and I just bought a house in West Los Angeles. Like all Southern California real estate, it is undersized and overpriced, but we are enjoying fixing it up. I see Al Jones and Rich Nichols every now and then when they come to S. Cal. They are doing well."

David Plane: "Hi, I've recently taken on being Head of the Department of Geography and Regional Development of the University of Arizona. As one former Department Chair once explained, "it's a lot like herding rats." I'm also now Editor-in-Chief of Papers in Regional Science, the quarterly journal of the 3,000 member Regional Science Association International. My wife, Kathy Jacobs (Middlebury '77), my three year old daughter, Emily, and six year old labrador /beagle mutt, Jessie, still manage to escape to the mountains around the state for some camping- and we always manage at least two weeks each summer back at Kathy's house on the Maine Coast. Paper presentations and regional science business the last couple of years have taken me to Singapore, Korea, China, Israel, and Urbana, lllinois."

John Glover (Wassenaar, Netherlands): "Custis and I moved to Holland on March 1 on a job transfer within International Distillers and Vintners. I am

Page3 DARTMOUTH '76 Newsletter November 1990 now International Brand Director for Sambuca Romana, working in Amsterdam with a London head office. I travel half the time, to London 2-3 times a month. Big change, but everyone likes being in Europe."

Jennifer Kintzing Cadoff (East Brunswick, NJ): "We welcomed Eli Benjamin on June 7, 1990. Rebecca, almost 3, is adjusting quite well (those stray balls that bounce off his head are purely accidental). I'm back to freelancing after a summer off for "maternity leave" -- and now have more editing and writing assignments than I can possibly handle. (I love saying "sure". Hate doing the work! What else is new.) We see Kathy Heintzelman lots. She's doing a great job at Entertainment Weekly Magazine.

Jacqueline Bello (Pleasantville, NY): "In May 1990, I left Columbia Presbyterian Hospital (Neurological Institute) to become the Director of Neuroradiology at Montefiore Medical Center, affiliated with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine."

Dan Jones (Sterling, CO) (written by his wife Laurie, thanks!): "Since Dan usually corresponds via E-mail, I have the task of sending our news! We are starting our 2nd year in Colorado and are enjoying our son Jonathon - age 5 months. Dan is a computer consultant and occasionally is in NYC and sees Caroline Ballard, Dave Bandfield, and Bruce Bell. We regularly escape the high-tech world and travel demands by heading to our farm a few miles from our "town" residence!" Sounds great to me! Jack Nicholson (Glen Ellyn, IL): "I've moved across town and moved within the First National Bank of Chicago (FNBC, Near North Banking Center, Suite 0565, Chicago, IL 60670). New job, new house, night school-- I guess I'll sleep next year."

Brad Fletcher (Portland, OR): "Was in Hanover for Dartmouth vs. Yale. Beta was hopping til late AM. We are getting older, but some things never change." And from a News Release, "Bradford H. Fletcher has rejoined Grubb & Ellis Commercial Real Estate Services where he will specialize in the sale and leasing of land, industrial/technology and investment properties. For the last three years, Brad has been the Senior Business Development Officer for the Oregon Economic Development Department. Brad was the first officer appointed by Governor Neil Goldschmidt and was responsible for business expansion and recruitment of industry to Oregon, managing cases for the state including US Bancorp, Monty Productions, American Airlines, Intel, Precision Castparts, and STC Submarine Systems. Prior to his appointment to State Executive Service, Brad was previously leading producer for Grubb & Ellis in 1984, 1986, and 1987. Brad served as president of the National Association of Industrial and Office Parks in 1987 and remains

Page4 DARTMOUTH '76 Newsletter November 1990 on the Board of Directors. He is a graduate of and is president of Club of Oregon. Grubb & Ellis is the largest independent real estate firm in the country with offices nationwide." And, a few quotes from a letter by Governor Goldschmidt, "Over the past four years, I have accumulated many positive impressions of the people that have helped the Goldschmidt Administration achieve its objectives. As an RBDO, you have helped me to make the Oregon Comeback a reality. You have been a strong and productive member of our team, and we have had fun in our accomplishments. Brad, as you look back upon you service to state government, I am sure you will take great pride in the leadership role you played in many projects ... Of equal importance to Oregon may be the standard you have set as a "Deal Maker." As you know, I consider deal­ making to be a highly refined art and you have developed this quality to an advanced level. You leave a legacy at the Economic Development Department that is enduring and hard to surpass ... "

Peter Humphrey (Norwich, NY): "Peter B. Humphrey, University of Hawaii, Dept. of Geology, 2525 Correa Rd, Honolulu, HI 96822" That's it. Don't ask me! Either Peter has moved to NY from Hawaii, and the move has shocked his system so much that he cannot put his thoughts on the card, or he is inviting everyone to visit him in Hawaii. Maybe with the arrival of this newsletter he will have recovered enough to jot a few clues to his present dilemma.

1 And from a news release: "This year marks the 20 h anniversary of Dartmouth's Native American Program (NAP), established in 1970 to provide academic and counseling support for Native American students and to sponsor cultural events. In the first of an eight-month series of events to celebrate the anniversary, Dartmouth held its first reunion of Native American alumni. They, along with Native American undergraduates, held a special powwow in recognition of individuals who were instrumental in establishing the NAP, including:

+ James Freedman, President, President of the College + John Kemeny, President-emeritus, who revived Dartmouth's original commitment to educate Native Americans, + Gregory Prince, President of Hampshire College and former associate dean of the faculty, + Michael Dorris, author and adjunct professor of anthropology and Native American Studies, and + Louise Erdrich '76, author and one of the first Native American women graduates.

Page 5 DARTMOUTH '76 Newsletter November 1990

The NAP is one of the oldest and most successful programs of its kind in the country. Today there are over 120 American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian students enrolled at Dartmouth, according to NAP director Colleen Larimore '85. These students represent more than 55 different tribes or groups. Dartmouth is proud that 80% of its Native American students graduate, compared with the national average of 10%. The eight-month celebration will emphasize Dartmouth's commitment to Native American education, says Larimore, as well as the contributions of Native American alumni and students to Dartmouth. Upcoming events include a film series that looks at Native American images in the movies, a Native authors' conference and visiting lectures from such distinguished American Indian leaders as Wilma Mankiller, principal chief of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.

Peter Friedensohn (Milton, MA): "Doing well living in Milton Mass. I'm an ENT surgeon at Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary. Wife Pat Hopkins DMS '80 (Holy Cross '76, BOO ... ) is a rheumatologist. We have three girls Molly 7, Caitlin 5, Alyson 1. Saw Chip and Nancy Abrahamsen past summer. They have 3 kids, Alyson 9, Tim 6, Scott 3. They live and prosper in Clearwater Fla. Chip orthopedics, Nancy Radiology." [These two must have planned this write-in!

Bill Sinclair (Manhattan Beach, CA): "In October '89 I married Patti Timko, a Harvard Law '85 grad. We were introduced a few years ago by my roommate, Paul Cane. Besides Paul, several Dartmouth friends made it to the Southern California wedding including Rick Zimmerman, John Roe, Ann Waugh Page with husband Ernie '74, Jeffrey Sudikoff '77, Brook Milligan '78, and Dave Title '79. We now live in Manhattan Beach, CA. Several years ago, I started Data Spectrum, Inc., an engineering firm whose specialty is developing electronic hardware and software. We have concentrated on IBM PC applications for industrial and medical equipment manufacturers. It's been a lot of work, but also a lot of fun trying to make it grow. We've even had a few Dartmouth students work here on their leave terms."

Randy Alford (Evergreen, CO): "To all our friends who have gone so long without any word from us -- we are happy and well and growing. Our family has grown to five. In addition to Jesse (whom many of you met at our lOth reunion), we now have Karissa (a 10 year old niece who needs the warmth and security of a home and family) and Aubrey Jenae (a new addition, born September 15th and full of the same sweet spirit that her big brother introduced to us 4 1/2 years ago). Debi and I are both working with International Learning Systems, Inc., a corporate training and development firm whose motto is: 'We must be the change we wish to see in the world.' It's a good fit!"

A few choice tidbits from the news front:

President-emeritus John Kemeny has been awarded EDUCOM's first annual Louis Robinson Award for "a lifetime of innovative achievement and leadership in putting the computer at the service of teachers and students in higher education." EDUCOM, a non-profit consortium of colleges, universities, and other institutions, promotes the effective use of computing and communication technology in higher education. "I can't think of anyone more deserving of this award," said EDUCOM president Kenneth King. "Today's awareness that students shf')~ld have access to a rich range of computing resources, and that relevant computing tools can enrich teaching and learning in every discipline, had their roots in John Kemeny's vision and energy over a 30-year period."

This September, 905 members of the class of '94 participated in the freshmen trip program, the highest participation rate of any freshman class. The students were able to choose from a variety of activities, including hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and rock climbing. For those interested in mental as well as physical challenge, one option included discussion of environmental issues in the Upper Valley and the White Mountains. There were 135 separate groups, led by upperclass students, faculty, alumni and staff.

In a letter to the President responding to the Dartmouth Review article, Theodor Geisel '25 wrote:

After reading a disgusted reader said, "Phew! This gift from Bill Buckley is Muckley! It's Uckley! Bill, give it to Yale. Oh, please do!" Dr. Seuss (October 15, 1990)
