Class Note 1960
Issue
After watching his son receive a Duke graduate degree, our personal Abraham Lincoln impersonator Harry Fritz and friend Karen toured the Revolutionary and Civil War battlefields in North Carolina, including those in the western mountains. Recently retired as a history professor at the University of Montana (Missoula), Harry created work for himself by agreeing to teach a course in wars involving the United States. Is this Lew Stillwell reincarnate?
Mary Lou and Phil Kron succumbed to the siren call of the western North Carolina mountains on their way from Florida to New Jersey. With any luck two gorgeous days of golf, one with Chris and Don Sheffield, will lure them back more often in the future.
Bob Harrach parlayed his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Colorado into a career with the Livermore National Laboratory in California. This included an opportunity to return to Dartmouth as a professor of physics for the 1978-79 academic year. Fully retired today, he continues to partner and clash with Jim Foch while chasing small, white golf balls around various courses.
Gene Powell left Dartmouth at the end of sophomore year. Following a stint with the Air Force he graduated from the University of California. His interest in commercial real estate management has taken him from California to Arizona, Virginia and finally Bend, Oregon. As a member of the Institute of Real Estate Management’s national faculty, he teaches courses throughout the year, particularly in the Far East. Now with two hip replacements, baseball has been abandoned in favor of golf and tennis.
Luck found Ken Taber on the golf course so Connie provided his current curriculum vitae. After spending time as rector of an Episcopal church in Stratford, Connecticut, they found their way to permanent residence in the historic district of Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1979. Today, with condos at Boyne Mountain, Michigan, and Tampa, Florida, they follow whatever seasonal instincts prevail. Ken continues to perform church services and is on the Grand Rapids Community College faculty, teaching courses in sociology and social problems. Rick Guilford and Mark Hinshaw are classmates seen regularly.
Charlie Radigan retired in September 2006, leaving the legal profession with no regrets. He and Tina moved to Lancaster, Virginia, on Chesapeake Bay, bought a powerboat for fishing and continue to play lots of golf locally, as members of the Mid Ocean Club in Bermuda and on the Florida west coast during the winter.
Is it just a rumor or will a future Bruce Ducker novel follow the antics and exploits of Pete Easter, Dick Griggs and Andy Nighswander? Stay tuned!
And, what will Gerry Huttrer do next year now that Vail, Colorado, requires all ski instructors to wear helmets?
Please remember to submit your biographical information to John Mitchell for inclusion in our 50th reunion musings!
