Class Note 1960
Issue
Jul - Aug 2017
It makes 61 years since I studied Spanish under Professor Ugarte, who gave me a C+ for trying. But Peter Klaren sent a book in Spanish to the DAM with a request it go to Baker. DAM sent it to me. It is written so clearly and well that I can read it with a little help from my Spanish-English dictionary. It is a history of sugar ranches in Peru. It is at Baker now.
And Roger Zissu sent a note about how he was honored to be selected by the Copyright Society of the U.S.A. to present its 46th annual Donald C. Brace Memorial Lecture on copyright law at the Lowenstein Center, Fordham University School of Law in New York City. Are we diverse or what?

Jim Marlow allows as how he agrees fully with my paragraph on the luck we had to be born when we were in terms of medical practice and to have been in the class of 1960 at Dartmouth, adding: “I’m trying to slow down the ever-swifter passage of time by writing. My latest, Seeing Auras, is a romance-mystery-historical novel that features the 19th-century pursuits of mesmerism, phrenology, séance and diagnosing auras. The descriptions of the so-called pseudo-sciences were gathered as I researched Charles Dickens and his times. The major character, needless to say, is a Dartmouth man.”
Joe Mchugh writes he plans to attend the class’ 80th birthday party in Key West, Florida: “The 80s might be daunting, and perhaps we are asymptomatic, but my beautiful bride of 55 years and I routinely sleep nine to 10 hours each night with the usual brief interruptions attributable to age. We’ve been at Vail, Colorado, almost 19 years—winter and summer. When we arrived we knew only Gerry Huttrer and Alan Danson and they expanded our friendship horizons to Rich Pomboy and Jim Progin and others.”
Bob Hager was nominated to the Alumni Council for the post-55th reunion classes. Bob’s nomination was confirmed at the May meeting.
