Class Note 1960
Issue
Congratulations to Mort Kondrake on his election to the College board of trustees. He takes office following graduation for an initial term of five years. This is our second trustee from the class. Barry MacLean was our first.
George Potts is the producer of four different blogs ranging from Dartmouth traditions through travel and science. He became an early convert to computer use after graduation while working for the Bank of New York and as an analyst for Dean Witter Co. before starting his own software company in the mid-1990s. When not involved with blogging he spends his time offering specialized tutoring to high school kids and interviewing prospective Dartmouth students, often with Axel Grabowsky.
During last February and March wanderlust struck Vickie and Win Robinson. They spent 30 days trekking in Bhutan in the Himalaya. Win says they stayed between elevations of 7,000 and 12,000 feet so altitude was not a problem. The scenery was fantastic but, alas, they did not encounter a yeti!
More recently Mary and Dave Farnsworth spent two weeks in Hawaii visiting with their daughter and her family, who are stationed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; talking with Guy Piltz’s wife, Jo; and touring with Simi and Mel Kau. They managed to see Oahu and Kauai, Hawaii, including a helicopter tour of Volcano National Park.
Several years ago we mistakenly added Webb Wade to the deceased list. Please know that Webb is very much alive. His business career was similar to that of a corporate gypsy with stints in New York, Atlanta, Charlotte, North Carolina, and finally Jacksonville, Florida for the past 34 years. Webb left after freshman year and got his degree from the University of Pennsylvania. While not planning to attend our reunion, he sends greetings to Bob Christopher, Jim Marlow, Ken Siegel and Andy Stone.
Speaking of Jim Marlow, he and Corinne will follow a circuitous rout to the reunion. Their first stop is Omaha, Nebraska, in early June to attend a production of a play he wrote. Next is a quick trip to Aberdeen, South Dakota, to visit friends and family before jetting to Hanover. For those of you who do not recall such things, we elected Jim our class poet when we graduated!
By now everyone has received and enjoyed reading our third reunion edition of Musings. If you have not sent 40 bucks to Bill Moorman to help defray the cost of this tome, please do so promptly. And when you see John Mitchell at our reunion, please thank him for shepherding the book through production. It was a massive, time-consuming effort. Bob Boye will attest to this!
If Musings stimulates your interest in coming to our reunion, it may not be too late. Immediately contact Dick Chase or Bill Gundy to make arrangements. Your friends will enjoy seeing you as much as you will enjoy seeing them. Plus, the footprints of the College and town of Hanover have changed substantially even since our 45th reunion. See you there!
