Class Note 1957
Issue
November-December 2026
Class Note 1957. Dr. Larry Selig, an ordained Presbyterian pastor,writes, “Ida and I moved into a creative retirement residence adjacent to the University of Central Florida in Orlando. The concept was all residents are enrolled as students. The residence hosts various speakers and my 42 years leading 18 study groups in Israel made me a regular lecturer and pastor.” Larry mentioned Dr. Chic Shaver, his Dartmouth roommate, who wrote a book Living in the Blessing, which sold several thousand copies in 10 different languages. Larry also wrote several books, including 5 Prayers God Loves to Answer.Steve Hibbs lives in Havertown, Pennsylvania, and served in the U.S. Air Force for two years at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and Tokyo. He was an English teacher for two years, then a writer and editor in the oil industry. He worked for Marathon, Sun, and Buckeye Pipeline oil companies until 1983, then on other ventures, retiring in 1997.
Jay Greene majored in history, graduated cum laude, and lives in St. Helena, California. He spent 35 years in maritime shipping and became the spokesperson for the industry and his company, the General Steamship Corp., San Francisco. He became a senior vice president and retired in 1985. He joined the Institute of Human Origin and worked with Herb Roskin on the board of directors until retirement in 2025.
Don Saunders lives in Boulder, Colorado, is in good health, and works out daily. He lived in Europe for 20 years. He met his wife of 69 years, Betsey, in Bermuda. Jim Mayer lives in La Jolla, California. His three careers included 40 years in the Navy, eventually as a two-star admiral; simultaneously working on corporate securities and governance as a senior partner in a San Fransisco law firm; and finally, mediating more than 1,000 business disputes.
Arnie Mulder and wife Gretl live in Pasadena, California. He attended Dartmouth Medical School and became a cardiac surgeon for 40 years and taught at University of Southern California medical school for 20 years before retiring in 2020.
Sadly, we lost classmates John P. Carroll, Stuart M. Ensinger Jr., Scott A. McKown, and Peter L. Powers.
