ALUMNI NEWS NOTES
Class of 1968
Bill Hakes: Just over 4 years ago our little girl was born and
all the things we used to do, aren't the same anymore. I am
working for Conoco in the UK doing exploration and appraisal work
in the northern part of the North Sea looking for Tertiary, heavy
oil accumulations. I am heavily into Windows in the office and
Macs at home. We also have the dreaded UNIX boxes which are
supposed to solve all our problems only the operating system
seems to have been written by several thousand graduate students,
and it was. Conoco used to be in London (in the heart of the
West End, a block from Selfridges) with a good commute from
Wimbledon. Then we closed the London exploration office and
moved up north about a year ago. It was been a change. We just
had the hottest day ever (well since records began in the late
1600's). It was 84 deg. F! Now that's hot and that's Global
Warming. (submitted '96)
Norman Hansen, Jr.: Remarried on January 1, 1993 in Los Vegas,
Nevada. Live in Scottsdale, AZ in winter. Have been in the
hardwood lumber business since graduating from Colgate - 27
years! Just built new sawmill in Claremont, NH - near Dartmouth
College. My best to all, especially "The Chief". (submitted '96)
John W. Hoffman: Still teaching 7th grade Earth Science and 8th
grade physical science at the Indian Mountain School. Had a
great trip to Hawaii in March of 1995 and finally (after teaching
about it for 25 years) saw Kilauea first hand. Especially
enjoyed Desastation Trail, the Kilauea Iki trail and the lava
flows covering the road at the end of the chain of Craters Road.
Say hello to Bob Linsley. (submitted '96)
