Some more changes on our fall mini-reunion, Dartmouth Night weekend, October 25-27. According to Mini-Reunion Chair DavePrewitt, our cocktail party and banquet will be in the Faculty Lounge of the Hopkins Center, a nice room that overlooks the campus. 'Tails are at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, and dinner is at 8:00 p.m.

The pregame cookout will start about 11:30 a.m. on the patio above the Fayerweather dorm cluster's social center, behind Dartmouth Hall and overlooking the stadium. Food, soft drinks, and beer. Dave has reserved 15 rooms at the new Susse Chalet Inn in White River Junction for us. For those of you who can make it Friday night, we'll be participating in the torchlight Dartmouth Night parade beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Lebanon Street. A reception in Blunt Alumni Center follows the festivities and bonfire. The class meeting will be at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday; we'll let you know about the location. Hope you can make it.

News notes: John Zabriskie has gotten another major promotion—to senior vice president of Merck & Co. Inc., where he will be responsible for the Merck Chemical Manufacturing Division, the Merck Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Division, engineering and technology, and public affairs. The chemical manufacturing division includes eight manufacturing plants, and the pharmaceutical division includes 22 plants in 14 countries with 6,800 employees. John also assumes responsibility for carrying out Merck's new environmental policy, which calls for a 90-percent reduction from 1987 levels in the company's release of toxic chemicals worldwide by 1995. Good luck! Until recently John was president of Merck, Sharpe, and Dohme, the company's American pharmaceuticals business.

Roger Baumberger has joined Rosenkrantz, Lyon & Ross Inc. as senior vice president and associate director of corporate finance and investment banking. Roger is a chartered financial analyst. He was previously a national director of corporate finance for BDO Seidman. His new firm is a member of the New York Stock Exchange; its investmentbanking operations include underwriting public stock offerings and merchant banking.

The results are in from our 1991 Alumni Fund campaign. We had 62-percent participation—366 classmates of the 589 included in our scoring base (which is somewhat fewer than the actual number of classmates still living because it doesn't include people who can't be found, etc.). We raised $145,741 of our $163,000 goal.

It's triathlon season again. We're still plugging away, trying to convince ourselves that 51 make that 52 by the time you read this is not that old.
