1963

This will be a fairly conventional column. Apparently there will be no '63 aboard the final Apollo shot. Nor is any of our number yet running for Congress, although I am told that George Richardson was seeking election as a Democratic state committeeman in Massachusetts last spring.

So, as I say, this will be conventional. News that doesn't make the world stand on end, if that's physically possible, but news just the same. News like Merle and PeteSuttmeier being in Hawaii this year. Pete received a grant as a research fellow at the Technology and Development Institute of the East-West Center of the University of Hawaii. They had spent the summer in Hong Kong, where some of you will recall they lived several years ago while Pete taught at a local university. When he's not on research grants, Pete is a professor of Far Eastern Studies (Why do we keep calling it "Far" East?) at Hamilton College in Clinton, N. Y. As you might surmise, Pete has come quite a way to being an authority on East Asian affairs.

If you search some of the other class notes, you may discover that Bankers Trust of New York has been busy promoting Big Green alumni. We should not overlook Bruce Nichols, who has been elected a vice president in the company's Eastern Division. Bruce joined the bank in 1963 and currently heads the Mid-Atlantic Group of the National Banking Department. He worked as an Alumni Fund agent from 1969 to 1971.

This news comes byway of Fayetteville, N. Y., and Mary and George Sullivan.

Late word from academe: Alina Siwiec sends tidings that Frank received his doctorate in mathematics in August from the University of Pittsburgh and is presently an assistant professor at John Jay College of the City University of New York.

Roger Parkinson wrote me some time back that if I were ever starved for filler I could mention that he has been promoted to assistant director of manufacturing at Newsweek. Roger's office is responsible for printing the magazine and supervising the New York headquarters. Rog will be doing long range planning on printing, paper and engraving techniques and suppliers. "It looks like some of that 'Dartmouth' stuff rubbed off," he comments.

We also find lost in the world of words John C. Buckley, who is managing Kroch's and Brentano's Bookstore in Calumet City, Ill., and our very own reunion chairman, "Gar" Scott who has been elevated to a vice presidency in the Boston ad firm of Provandie, Eastwood, Lombardi, Inc. He and wife Nancy are living in Melrose.

Dr. Mike Leone has completed his surgical residency at the University of Vermont College of Medicine and begun duty as a major in the Army Medical Corps at Noble Hospital in Ft. McClellon, Ala. Mike previously graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1967 and did his internship at Hartford (Conn.) Hospital.
