Class Note 1960
Issue
Jan - Feb 2016
James H. Chubb died in September; he was born in York, Pennsylvania. He credited his service in the Navy with “turning me into a lifelong vagabond.” After years in international business, he came back to the United States as president of Sandretto Plastic Machinery Co. in Michigan. Then went back to Germany to work for Continental Tire Co. as chief financial officer and chief operating officer for Eastern Europe. Tom Huyck also left us in July while living in Chicago and Frank Loeb succumbed in July in Smithville, New Jersey.
Meanwhile, the class annual meeting graced Homecoming with 23 of us to approve our continuing support of assorted student activities comprising athletic sponsorships, the Dickey Center, dorm art purchases, a new art curators program, the Summer Enrichment at Dartmouth program and, finally, our scholarship aid.
It transpires that a Dartmouth education, hard work and clean living have yielded enough contributors to Jim Adler’s and Phil Kron’s effort to make the class a paragon of financial support for the College. Thanks to all you givers.
Bruce Clark, our Alumni Council representative, reports that the Moving Dartmouth Forward program against sexual abuse presented by President Hanlon included several of Bruce’s suggestions and can be reviewed on the dartmouth.edu website. Bruce says he appreciates the 20 to 35 questions and comments he receives from us classmates between meetings. His final note on his report: “Thanks for appointing me to this. I like the challenge.”
Said Steven Lerman, provost at George Washington University: “I want to salute professor Peter Klaren as he begins his retirement. During his long career here at GW he has made many contributions to his department, to the Elliott School of International Affairs and to the university. I want to recognize in particular his scholarship on Peru that has established him as one of the nation’s leading authorities on the subject. The university also appreciates his work on the executive committee of the faculty senate. Perhaps more importantly, Peter has demonstrated his excellence in the classroom, as his receipt of the Oscar and Shoshana Trachtenberg Teaching Prize indicates. I wish Professor Klaren well as he enters into emeritus status.”
