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 Page 2 DARTMOUTH '76 Newsletter November 1990 /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.
