1967

We received word in December that Hugh Farrington's oldest daughter, Beth, is a member of the Dartmouth class of 1987. As far as we know, Beth is the first of 1967's offspring to enter the College as an undergraduate and eventual member of the Dartmouth family. Congratulations to Hugh and Beth and the whole Farrington family. Hugh, by the way, was recently elected president and chief operating officer of Harraford Brothers Company in Scarborough, Maine.

Bob Ruxin is so busy with his medical practice in coastal Connecticut that his wife, Susan, acts as his publicity agent, for purposes of keepihg the rest of us up to date on his activities. The Ruxins have been living in Ridgefield, Conn., for the past eight years. Josh is 14, Lisa is 12, and Bob is an internist with a subspecialty in endocrinology, practicing in Ridgefield and New Haven.

Readers of Money magazine may have noticed a blurb in the January issue featuring Karl Friberg and his wife, Lyn Peterson. It seems Karl and Lyn, living in New Rochelle, N.Y., have made a big entrepreneurial splash in the wallpaper and fabric design business. Their firm, Motif Designs, has grown in ten years to a projected $6 million in revenues for 1984, employs 50, and is now planning to diversify into maternity clothes. Lyn handles the designs, and Karl oversees sales, production, and finance.

Word was released in November that SamOstrow is now an executive vice president of the Rowland Company on Madison Avenue in New York. Sam will be in charge of Rowland's corporate, financial, and public affairs unit, with additional responsibilities in planning the company's growth in domestic and foreign markets.

The RCA Corporation has announced that Larry Brown has joined the company as staff vice president in charge of tax affairs. After Dartmouth, Larry pursued a career in accounting, earning an M.B.A. from Columbia in 1972 and certification in public accounting thereafter.

For the last seven years or so, Dan Rabovsky has been working in the legislative analyst's office of the California state legislature (headed by Bill Hamm '63). Currently, Dan is in charge of the natural resources section of the office, making budget recommendations, bill analyses, and fiscal policy studies. Sometimes the work takes him outside the office. "I've been sprayed with .malathion during the medfly emergency, visited offshore oil rigs, toured Hearst Castle, and walked through sewage in Tijuana," writes Dan.

Dan and Maryann live in Sacramento with daughters Rebecca, four, and Sarah, two. They returned to Hanover for a visit about three years ago, and Dan reports he was pleased to see that some things hadn't changed: "I was reassured to see that most of the places in the basement of Baker Library were taken by students hitting the books just like in my day, under the dominating presence of the Orozco frescoes (which are like a brooding and pagan subconscious to the prim, rational, proper New England building above)." Many thanks for the informative letter, Dan.

After 16 years with General Electric, PatHorgan has taken a position as vice president and general manager of the marketing division of Planning Research Corporation in McLean, Va., and has moved from Gaithersburg, Md., to Vienna, Va. Before GE, Pat was with the Resnor Division of IT&T.

I may have inadvertently given short shrift to Dan Gould in December's column, which contained a bare-bones reference to his switch to head of anesthesiology at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore. In December, two news releases and a long letter from Dan himself arrived, adding quite a bit to the story. It seems that, in addition to the information reported in December, Dan also moonlights as a part-time professor at Johns Hopkins University and a weekend operating room supervisor at Walter Reed Army Hospital where, as a Reserve officer, he holds the rank of major (soon to be promoted to lieutenant colonel). Dan's family are finishing out the school year in St. Louis and will join Dan in Baltimore afterward. Dan reports that wife Fran has loyally waited 14 years to put down roots somewhere "maybe it's to be Baltimore."

So much for the January accumulation of bits and pieces. Keep 'em coming. They're all grist for the mill.
