Class Note 1960
Issue
Following graduation from Cornell Medical School Bob Reid was sent by the Navy to Vietnam, where he was a member of a village pacification team. He has succeeded in avoiding anything close to saltwater by moving to Illinois. In 1972 He and Jill purchased a house in Wilmette, where they still reside. (Thirty-seven years and still counting in the same house may be a class record.) Retired six years ago from the internal medicine practice he helped establish and from the teaching faculty at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Bob spends much of his time fishing, playing bridge, enjoying two grandchildren and wintering in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Claiming the title “Last in the Class to Become a Grandfather”—any challengers?—Rick Yocum and Jacquey are enjoying the salubrious benefits of their North Carolina mountain retreat while awaiting the young ’un to be born in the Atlanta area. Pictures will be available at our 50th next June. Jacquey and Rick continue to reside in Perrysburg, Ohio, where he still is connected to a venture capital firm. Recently they and five other couples spent time on a bicycle tour radiating from Quebec City.
Pat and Dick Ossen are “stuck” in West Barnstable, Massachusetts, except when they rent a house in Fort Myers, Florida, for three months in the winter. Having mostly retired from his adjunct professorship at Bentley College teaching in the marketing department, Dick finds much of his time taken up by golf, often with fellow Cape Cod denizens Tom Reilly, Tom Murphy, George Rush and Bob Derderian. Bob regularly commutes from his home in Wayland, Masschusetts. Oddly enough Dick Weiler has not joined this group yet. He and Judy now reside in West Barnstable, too!
Tony Creal left Dartmouth after the first semester in 1958 to begin again as a freshman at the Syracuse University School of Architecture. He returned to his hometown of Warren, Pennsylvania, eventually started his own firm and specialized in altering the moon shape on the door of customized outhouses. Having sold this company six years ago he now dabbles part time in the creation of whatever strikes his fancy. Two of his five children are attorneys and his youngest daughter will get married in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in early October. Perhaps he will contact his Hanover roommate Larry Savage.
And, finally, also on Cape Cod in Dennis, Bob Harvey spends his time golfing and fishing, particularly the latter. For the past 30 years he and Nancy have rented winter digs on Big Pine Key, Florida, so Bob can pursue bonefish or whatever lurks in the salty depths. He has been known to exchange free rent while volunteering as a salmon fishing guide on Lake Ontario. All this occurs after buying out one of his father’s major customers in the auto supply business in Northampton, Massachusetts, and managing it for 14 years. Russ Ingersoll awaits Bob’s commitment to participate in the Dartmouth hockey celebration scheduled for winter 2010.
