Class of '64 (January-February 2012 Issue) Tennessee and News

We had only three classmates from Tennessee, all on the freshman football team, Bob Stepp, Dave Lawson and John Lane, who was recruited from Columbia, Tennessee by Bob Blackman. John was in ROTC and commissioned after graduating with an economics major. His high school experience in a hospital helped his entry into the medical service corps and he served at a hospital in Cam Ranh Bay. After earning an MBA, he started a 30 year career with J.P. Morgan, which included six years in Singapore and Indonesia. Since 'retiring' he's been on many public policy committees, including the Executive Committee of the NY Health Foundation. He and Betsy have two sons, four granddaughters and a grandson. They ski with their whole family regularly.

Dave Lawson was on the football team, joined SAE and majored in government. He and Cindy were married shortly after graduation. Dave intended to go to law school, but enjoyed business and never looked back. He worked for American Hospital Supply in sales and marketing. By 1981 they worked their way back to Dave's hometown, Knoxville,Tennesse, where he started a successful advertising company, which he continues. He is involved with HonorAir, a national organization which provides transportation to veterans to visit Washington, DC to see their memorials. Always involved with youth sports, Dave coached his sons' teams in three sports and Cindy helped their two daughters. They have five grandchildren.

In the class of 2015 from just one city, Nashville, ten applicants were accepted for the class of 2015, according to classmate Jim Harris, who's been interviewing in music city for more than 20 years. Born in Arkansas and coming to Dartmouth from California, Jim's been an attorney in Nashville for even longer, representing the creative side of music and copyright law. Jim parlayed his English major into Vanderbilt Law School and never left, except for a few years in the Navy as a JAG officer. He's been on the 'Key Board' of the Music School at Vanderbilt for many years and is currently chairman. He has two daughters and five granddaughters. Jim and his wife Leslie Boone attended the 45th reunion.

Even though Alan Nadel, M.D. first saw Dartmouth in duck-board season, he was impressed. He was a fixture on the swim team, a member of Pi Lam and a sociology major. Alan went to medical school in Pittsburgh, where he met his wife, Zoe, an artist (galleryzoe.com). He was in the Navy, one year in Okinawa and one in Boston, where he worked with budding neurologists who encouraged him to pursue neurology at Duke. The Nadels live in Memphis where he is a neurologist. Alan is currently chairman of the Memphis Mankind Project and he and Zoe are active with the local Humane Society. Their son Craig '92 has an MBA from SMU. Alan hopes to catch up with roommate Al Campbell and swim team member, Bill Lewis at our 50th reunion, which John Lane, Dave Lawson, Jim Harris and their spouses also plan to attend.
