Class of '64 (September-October 2005 issue)


Greetings from Hanover. The summer is rapidly coming to a close. Now is the time to mark your calendars for October 21, 22 - Homecoming - when you can march in the Alumni parade, see the renewed Dartmouth football team trounce Colombia, have a few drinks with other classmates, and enjoy fall colors. Keep it in mind. Burt Alimansky, former editor of the Daily Dartmouth, mentions that he and his spouse, Arlene, are finishing a new weekend home near Woodstock, New York, on the edge of the Catskills. Burt, the big city financier, looks to "drop in a line in the stream that runs behind the house." (Burt probably is referring to a telephone line, not a fishing line...) Sure sounds nice. Burt is an investment banker for middle-market companies and he and Arlene own a conference company called the "The Capital Roundtable" that's a highly-regarded educational organization for managers of private equity and hedge funds. Burt is on the boards of the Harvard Business School Club and the Association for Corporate Growth. Keep the economy growing, Burt. Alan Woodberry comments that he is living the life of a quasi retired international tax accountant. He was in Hanover for the 40th Tuck School reunion and saw fellow Tuck grads, Sandy McGinnes, Pete Luitwieler, and Rick Behrens. Alan has been in touch with Huston Lillard who is doing well in his Southern California real estate business. He mentions getting together will Marcia and Jeff Shendell and Tom Yahn. Jay Regan writes that he has been married to the same woman, Amy - 38 years, has 3 grown kids and 8 grandchildren. He lives outside of Princeton, NJ and spends 3 to 4 months of the year in Colorado. He spends his working hours managing family investments and has "no plans for retirement." Dartmouth classmates he has seen recently include Wilson Madden, Don Waite, Whit Goit, Tom Harlow and others. I asked Harvey Tettlebaum for some words on what he was up to and learned a lot. Harvey is a lawyer, farmer, Republican, and family man. As a lawyer he is in charge of the Jefferson City, MO office of Husch & Eppenberger, LLC and on the management committee. As a farmer, he has a 276 acre working farm for hay and corn that occupies his spare time? As a Republican, Harvey has been a delegate to the Republican National Convention since 1988, and for the past two conventions served as a member of the Rules committees. Harvey is also head of the Republican National Lawyers Assn., and treasurer of the Missouri Republican Party for almost 3 decades. As a husband, he has a daughter with a PhD teaching at Haverford and a son teaching outdoor skills to inner city kid . Harvey says he is slowing down these days, "I used to work until 2 am, but now it is more like midnight." It is great to see that passion to succeed. Thanks all for your inputs. Hope to hear from more of you. Please email me at hrwhit@aol.com.
