Class of '64 (July-August 2005
issue)
It is one year since we had our 40th reunion and our class tree remains under siege. We are on our second Sugar Maple, and I notice that heavy equipment/trailers are assembling in front of the gym for planned renovations, and our tree is "in their way." Bill Hamm sends greetings from Lafayette, California where he is Managing Director for LECG, an international consulting firm on matters that include economics, finance and accounting. Bill loves what he does and is not ready to retire. He is married to Kathleen Kelley - the "world's most beautiful economist." They were married in 1970 and have one son, Giles. Bill has a PH.D. in economics from Michigan and has had a really interesting career in and out of the public/private sectors. If I had more room, I would have included a picture of Bill washing down an elephant named Lisa. Apparently there is a place in Salinas, California, Vision Quest Ranch, where you can have a domestic safari. Need to check that out. Rick Issacson, our esteemed 40th reunion souvenir chairman, has weighed in with "fodder." Rick just completed his 37th anniversary at IMG where he is heading up client licensing activities worldwide. He and Phyllis - married for 35 years - have two sons both living in Berkeley, California - Danny at D'95 and Andy a Brown '99. Rick sent along a "small world" story of eating at the Carnegie Deli and sitting next to a person (with unusual tastes in sandwiches ) who was best friends of our classmate, Bill Barnet, mayor of Spartanburg, SC. If you go to the Carnegie Deli, don't order a Pastrami on white bread with mayo and American Cheese, unless you can deal with penetrating questions from Rick. Rick has recently been a guest lecturer for Roy Lewicki at Fisher College of Business at Ohio State on Negotiations. Thanks, Rick, for your "fodder." Bob Engleman sends his greetings from Desert Mountain, Arizona where he has the joy of "having time to do what you want, the health with which to enjoy it... plus a bunch of people you love with whom to spend it. I have it all...a truly lucky guy." He sits on several Boards including the MB Bank in Chicago, Rhino Sports, and the TesseracT School in Paradise Valley, AZ. Bob and his wife have 6 children, of which the two oldest went to Dartmouth and have written books, the third has also published, the fourth is a money manager, and the two remaining are still at home. The youngest came from China and Bob recounts where each year a group of families who adopted at the same time get together for a weekend - this year the reunion will be in China. Happy traveling. Please let your classmates know what you are doing by giving me some "fodder." My email is hrwhit@aol.com. Also, the email's of many classmates can be found on the Class website at www.alum.Dartmouth.org/Classes/64/.
