1936
We're going to have to tend to our knitting or our editor will be giving us the sack deadlines really sneak up on a guy in this business .... listen, ed, we'll try to do better next time.
For several seasons now the Boston gang has been running a regular monthly 36 luncheon pow-wow at Rosoff's Restaurant, 97 Summer Street at 12:30 on the first Thursday of every month. For two reasons we men tion it.... first, it's a good clean habit an} two or more guys can adopt in any hamlet around the country and .... secondly, as far as Boston is concerned, the welcome mat is always out for visiting classmates; notwith- standing the conflict with vacations, the low- est summer attendance ran around eight guys.
Quite by accident the column has hereto- fore failed to document the Schibder-Muello nuptials. Back on April 12 Tony and Esther signed the long form. Tony, by the way, is a general practitioner, law that is, and Esther's a doctor, of medicine that was; her home was originally The Hague, Netherlands and she's a graduate of the University of Louvain, Belgium and the University of Utrecht, Holland .... internship, residency and Muello in Boston ruined a perfectly good medical careerbut, and all our woman audience please note, name a nobler career than that of housewife!
The call of the insurance business was too much for Mac Hill and he finds the return much to his liking his business card now reads MacGregor H. Hill, service representa- tive, American Mutual Liability Insurance Company, which translated means .... once they buy American, Mac keeps 'em sold. Wife June, Billy, five, and Connie, three, complete the Hill home scene. Mac complains: "What'n ever became of Courtney Catron? haven't heard from same since getting his at home announcement from Waikiki, Hawaii. Please, Court, give us a hand!
At the moment we're brooding.... over the fact that we can't figure out a way to wangle a trip to coincide with the Michigan game at Ann Arbor-"Huff" Huffman will be there, at least Huff's letter to us stated this was his and Jane's intention. In case you hadn't heard, Huff is introducing to the bicycle business the ice that the old coal companies took on to level off the peaks; he's building some corkin' good electric rotary lawnmowers to take up the slack customarily found in the first six months of the bike trade. Three items in the Huffman household put the slack in the old man's pocketbook— Steve, 11, Tony, 8, and Mike, 2\A- Huff re- ports a fairly recent meeting with Jack Mat-linger in Chicago and described him as "hale, hardy, happy and completely unchanged." We saw Jack in the windy city almost a year ago and he was all that Huff reports plus being menswTear buyer at Carson Pirie Scott. C'mon, Jackson, put that secretary to work and let's deal in some first-hand information.
September 9 was a big day for Bob Fernald and Tanna. Our old friend the long-legged bird made a Morris town, N. J., stopover with Kathleen Adele Fernald, spankin' new sister for Carol. Bob is maestro of market research at National Lead Admiralty Jaw and its pursuit keeps Leo Glynn his partnership in the firm of Thomas Walsh in Boston. While with the War Shipping Administration some five vears ago Leo won the hand and heart of Adrianna Van Noortwijk, then with the Netherlands Embassy in Washington; now the Glynns are three, daughter Astrid Cor- nelia being one and a half We note BillStimson has switched to Kirk wood Missouri, that is; up until recently Bill was medical resident at the U. S. Marine Hospital in Baltimore and pending direct word from him, we presume he is ditto at the Kirkwood hos- pital.
Here's a slick idea your group ought to try—a post-Reunion reunion! Cliff England and Pete Fitzherbert played hosts at just such a whing-ding for the crowd around Boston. The affair went like Hanover beer, baseball, wives, movies.... in fact, the works. Wives brought the box lunches, kids came when sitters fizzled, beverage costs were share alike, prizes went to male and female athletes and through it all Nashua's first citizen, Harry Coronis, kept turning the crank on his trusty Bell and Howell, which effort will doubtless become the number one excuse for a post post-reunion! ! ... . Anyway, the attendees fiot above mentioned included; Donand Ginny Sutherland, Bill and Carlotta Murray, Des Stewart and Ruth Mclntire, Ed andEuvy Nilsson, Tommy and Lora Thomas,Gage and Phyllis Aborn, Tony and EstherMuello, Phyllis England, Ginny Fitzherbert, Rose Courounis, Frank Weston and Dick andMadine Morton.
T'aint funny, Mister .... on September 11 Joe Davis tucked his civvies back in mothballs .... yes, sir, his unit was called and Joe is now what you call a very active reservist The grass grew pretty long around the Tillingliast place in Rumford, R. X., this summerthe story is, George got himself a boat and Marion doesn't figure to see much of Tilly till the bay freezes over. During the week George heads up the Tillinghast Supply Company, best plumbing and heating supply house in Providence Slugger Art Atkinson hasn't lost a bit of hair and we don't see why, bein' as how he's assistant to the publisher of Esquire and Coronet and pappy of three beautiful daughters Art squealed on the whereabouts of Reece Hatchitt, who, it seems, is with the Institute of Inventive Research in San Antonio, Texas Stop worrying about American Potash—with a new salesmanager like Dink Gidney we're tempted to borrow and buy a few shares!
Let's plan to meet again.... how about right here, in another month?
