Class of '64 (March/April issue)

Our class undoubtedly had the most lively Classtalk debate (maybe the only substantial one) on the 9/11 terrorist attacks (www.alum.dartmouth.org/~classtlk). Providing a frequently eloquent Palestinian perspective was Amin Elwary (see the Nov/Dec 2001 issue for Amin's recent activities). The alternative view was equally well represented by Mike Reynolds, whose writing skills were made known to us during his editorship of The Dartmouth during our Senior year. In response to my subsequent query about his recent life and work, Mike wrote that he still works for San Diego County Children's Services, but in foster home development and licensing, rather than abuse investigations. "I have two children, one grandbaby, and am pretty happy in general, except for the usual middle-aged aches & pains."

At the class meeting last October, Sabin Danziger and Pete Luitwieler were formally thanked for their successful leadership in the Alumni Fund campaign, which once again set an all time record for a class 37 years out and a non-reunion record for our class. Pete tells me that despite being retired from CITGO Petroleum, he's staying very active. Recent developments include becoming Chairman of the Board of Directors of FuelSpot; he had been a Board member for the previous two years. Pete is well known in the petroleum community, with over 35 years in the domestic and international oil business. This January he started teaching as an adjunct professor at Oklahoma State University-Tulsa. Last August, he and Marlene had a fabulous 2 week vacation to Alaska. "It seems so long ago after the 9/11 attack!!"

The NY Times ran a laudatory feature article on Lew Eisenberg in late December, featuring his service as Chairman of the Port of New York Authority during these difficult times. Contact me for a copy.

Roy Lewicki is still in the workforce: He is the Dean's Distinguished Teaching Professor at the Fisher College of Business at Ohio State, where he has taught for the last 17 years. Roy's classroom specialty is Managerial Negotiation--a course he started developing 26 years ago while on the faculty at Tuck, when it was one of the first courses in the country in this area. He wrote the leading textbook on negotiation used in business and professional schools (now in its 4th edition) and is currently working on research projects on trust development and resolution of intractable environmental disputes. He and Debbie are the proud owners of a new second home in Lyme, NH, where they hope to escape often. Debbie is an ordained Presbyterian Minister in one of the Columbus OH hospitals.

I've heard from Steve Blecher that Randy Goodman's son Matt has been accepted early into the class of '05. Randy will have two sons (Adam '03 is the other) at Dartmouth at the same time.

It's not too early to make plans for Homecoming Weekend 2002: Dick Couch and Barbara are inviting classmates to their home for dinner on Saturday night November 2 following the Harvard game. Details on Web page.
