DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE 1954 Having recently begun its fourth year, the first-Thursday-of-the-month '54 N.Y.C.-- area luncheon gathering appears to have become an established institution. With the exception of July and August as well as December (annual holiday luncheon), '54s living in or around the New York City area and those classmates who may be traveling through the city know of the convivial get togethers - and many mark their calendars so as to be sure to attend. The luncheons are held in the roof dining room of the Yale/Dartmouth Club on Vanderbilt Avenue, and the round tabletop of the corner table expands from seven to 12, when necessary. Attending February's luncheon were: Brad Borden, Don Berlin, Bruce Classon, Dick Davidoff, Jerry Goldstein, Tony Kane, Vic Mahler, Dave Mandelbaum, Barry Nova and Arthur Rauch. Regular attendees Pete Barker and John Fenn were not able to attend the February meeting (Click here for complete schedule). Hoping to enjoy early January skiing at Mt. Snow, Jay Davis, Cliff Evans, Bob Fanger '55, Ned Freedman, Dick Gorsey, Anne and Dana Low and John Moran (accompanied by his son) and Dick Pearl convened for two days' warm-up prior to the annual Colorado trip. According to Cliff, warmer than usual temperatures meant "some trails became wind swept grass on rock-strewn mud with the remaining snow pretty slushy and difficult for older legs." Regardless, this hearty group of '54s-and the one young man from '55-enjoyed each other's company and the hospitality of Ned Freedman at his close-to-the-lifts-home. So what does a graduate of Dartmouth, Yale Med, and San Francisco State University's creative writing program, who is still a practicing physician and paid jazz musician, do in his mid-eighth decade to jazz up his own life? Why, he writes a novel, of course. And that's just what Bill Gould has done! His new novel, A Little Score To Settle, has just been published by iUniverse. "In this story of longing, vengeance and forgiveness, a doctor's affair with a patient and new friendship with a mysterious stranger complicate his lifelong search for his estranged father."
