The class of ’67 has a special relationship with the class of ’42; as we graduated they celebrated their 25th reunion. The class of ’42 compiled a collection of WW II memoirs from classmates who served or experienced the war. They asked for assistance in publishing the collection at the Class Officers’ Weekend.


Rob Kugler, John Manaras, Sam Ostrow, Bruce Pacht, Steve Cheheyl and others passed the hat and raised more than $1,700 to add to a ’67 class contribution of $1,000 to support the ’42 project. If you wish to contribute, contact Rick Geissinger in Evansville, Indiana, or Leo Caproni ’42 at 370 East 76 St., Apt. A406, New York City, NY 10021.


An Alumni Award winner and generous supporter of the College, Stan Smoyer ’34, father of Bill, Nancy and David ’63, died in December; he will be missed by all of us.


A note from David Rice from the Sonoma County coast of California added more news. David left college in 1965, worked in General Electric’s computer business, finished undergraduate studies at Arizona State, then went to MIT Sloan Business School for an M.B.A. He stayed in touch with some classmates working on the BASIC project. Dave’s career has been finance for software companies in the San Francisco area, mostly as a consulting CFO (hired gun). He gets together from time to time with Wes Rishel, who lives nearby.
