Class Note 1964
Issue
On the heels of a very enjoyable 45th added thanks go out to Hunt Whitacre, who was outgoing class secretary and was heavily involved with planning the reunion. Hunt, Tom Spangenberg, Bill Lewis, Dave Hewitt, Fran Hanlon, Ed Williams, Bob Bartles, Bob MacArthur and Rick Isaacson deserve kudos from everyone. Participants gave stunningly good grades for the reunion, which you can see at www.alum.dartmouth.org/classes/64 under “Results of Reunion Survey.”
We heard from Bennett Eisenberg, Ph.D. (MIT, mathematics), who continues to enjoy teaching math at Lehigh University. His interest has been in probability and statistical theory. A recent collaboration over the Internet with an Italian professor brought him an invitation to teach a course in Turin next summer. Back a few years Bennett and Jeanine road-tripped to New Mexico, where they shared time with Joe Cardillo and his wife, Anne, an acquaintance made not in Hanover but in Albuquerque when Bennett taught at University of New Mexico. They also vacationed for a week with Harry Bartel and his wife, Scotti, in Taos. Bennett and Jeanine have one son and two grandchildren.
Dartmouth has always been well represented in D.C. so it should be no surprise that we have a scientist there. After teaching at University of South Florida for 20 years Doug Raber, Ph.D. (Michigan, chemistry), has been in D.C. 20 years, 15 of which were at the National Academy of Sciences, where he directed their chemistry operations (antiterrorism). Lately he has had a science-policy consulting business for universities and nonprofits. He must have been enjoying writing, consultants do that a lot, because he and his wife, Linda, a professional writer, are writing novels together for fun and profit—focus, of course, is terrorism. We’re reserving space for a review when they hit the market. Doug has two daughters and three grandchildren.
In 2007 Larry Williams ran into Fred Rothenberg on Glacier Park’s Iceberg Trail. Both were wearing 40th Dartmouth reunion hats. Larry’s plans to attend the 45th reunion were interrupted by a mild stroke, from which he has substantially recovered. Larry has had several careers—ranger at Glacier Park, music educator and superintendent of schools in Great Falls, Montana, and Sioux City, Iowa, and now executive director of the Sioux City Symphony. He and Becky split their time between Iowa and Montana, where she was a career ranger at Glacier Park and now volunteers. They will call Columbia Falls, Montana, home when Larry really retires.
Dave Hewitt is busy preparing a super ’64 Homecoming (October 23-25). General activities are at www.alumni.dartmouth.edu, under “Homecoming.” Class activities (www.alum.dartmouth.org/classes/64, “Mini-reunion Schedule”) include a leadership panel with classmates, students and Professor Samwick on Friday afternoon. On Saturday there will be a class meeting at 8 a.m. in 102 Reed followed by two presentations in Alumni Hall, Buddy Teevens’ Chalk Talk at 9 a.m. and professor Chris Jernstedt’s talk about the brain at 10 a.m. Jernstedt gave a very stimulating presentation at the 45th so don’t miss him. We’re invited to the Friends of Football tent before and after the football game. Please send me your news.
