1949
Today's the first day of school around here, and we've moved back from the country where we spent a wet, but pleasant summer. Hope you all similarly enjoyed vacation-time, and I'll assume that you're in better shape than I am to start the fall "rush."
Perhaps my most important item for this issue - which starts my tenth year at this job - is to pound home the reminder of our Big Tenth Reunion next June — the dates are June 19-21. It promises to be a splendid weekend under the able guidance of Reunion Chairman Jay (perennial student) Urstadt. Jay has willingly agreed to run things, and he's already hard at work enlisting a large, active committee. So plan now to be there.
In connection with Reunion and other class future activities, I've called together a long-overdue executive committee meeting in Hanover this fall to discuss problems and plans. I hope at this writing for a large E.C. attendance.
Now into the news of the past summer. Two weddings took place, George Hinners of Winnetka, Ill., was married in July to Miss Nancy Magnusson of Cleveland and Thomas Slade Gorton was married in July to Miss Sally Jean Clark of Selah, Wash. Slade has a Columbia University School of Law degree in addition to his Dartmouth degree.
Several children forced their way into the summer sun. Ken and Mimi Wheeler of Cumberland Hill, R. I., announce the birth of Douglas- Hay Wheeler on June 16. This is the third child for Ken and Mimi. Georgeand Jean Harlow announce the birth of William Stilwell Harlow on April 29. The Harlow family resides in Eugene, Ore. Sam and Nita Smith of Manchester, N. H., are the proud parents of Tamara Ann Smith, born May 26. This is their third child, and third daughter, as Cathy is 3½ years old and Cynthia is 2. Dave and Virginia Heusinkveld of Salt Lake City announce the birth of Rigby Jacobs Heusinkveld on May 2. Dave writes that he's in his last year of surgical residency and plans to practice in Lewiston, Ida., when his training is completed. He also is serving as commander of the medical squadron of the 151 st Fighter Interceptor Group of the Utah Air National Guard.
Pat and I saw quite a bit of Jack andPeggy Kilmartin and Bob and Joan MacArthur this summer, and with local Dartmouth alumni activities commencing next week with our annual cocktail party, I suspect we'll see Bob and Shirley Magown and John and Nancy Stockwell often this fall. The Brown game is here in Providence this fall, so probably many of you will journey down to the game. May I remind any of you coming that our local group sponsors a tent on the nearby Brown baseball field where liquid refreshment and box lunches are available. It's a fine opportunity to meet friends before the game and "warm" up for the game.
Into the miscellaneous news of the summer, Robert A. "Jug" Edwards has been promoted to Captain in the U.S. Army at Fort Eustis, Va. The clipping says Jug was scheduled to start a 3-year tour of duty in Germany this fall. Jug is married to the former Elsa Koehler of New Rochelle, N. Y., and has sired two daughters. Gus Farnsworth of Stamford, Conn., has been appointed an assistant manager of sales at Kaiser Steel Corporation's Oakland, Calif., plant. Frank Munson has been made an assistant secretary of the General Reinsurance Corporation in New York. Charlie Yardley has been promoted to assistant actuary of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company in Boston. Charlie and Phyllis have four children ald Durkee has been appointed Director of Research for Durkee-Mower Inc. in Boston. He will retain his present post as Treasurer. Robert Hartkemeier of Cincinnati has been promoted from assistant secretary to assistant investment officer in the trust department of the Central Trust Company in Cincinnati. Al Quirk has filled an English Department vacancy at the Amesbury (Mass.) High School. Al formerly taught at Manchester (N. H.) Central High School. I believe last spring I wrote that George Day of Superior, Nebr., was returning to the Hanover Plain after ten years' absence to complete his final year for his degree. George had to leave college in 1948 because of illness in his family, and only this past June received the desired sheepskin. Next June he goes back for his tenth reunion. He and Ann lived at Sachem Village with their three children, Georgianna (8), John Frederick (6), and David (4). He now returns to Superior to complete an active lumber business. I read in our local sportspage this summer of a Massachusetts tennis tournament in which brothers Sumner and Bert Rodman of Newton had advanced at least to the quarterfinals. I never did see the finals, but it's good to see Bert's still active and apparently in shape. Rank Lashmet writes that he's been transferred to Cleveland by Saturday Evening Post in a similar capacity to the one he had in Chicago. Dr. Carl Granger is in the Physical Medicine Service at Letterman Army Hospital in San Francisco. Dick Crampton is with BehrManning Co. in St. Louis. Bob Evans is Headmaster of the Shore Country Day School in Beverly, Mass., after running summer Camp Tohkomeupog in East Madison, N. H. Lou Kastenbein is a teacher at the Morristown (N. J.) School. Bob G. Reed is Assistant Marketing Manager of the Middle Atlantic District for Tidewater Oil in Philadelphia. Bobb Slattery is with Lever Bros, in New York. Charlie Dodge is President of Allen Organ Sales Inc. in White Plains, N. Y. Jack Barr is District Traffic & Sales Manager for Pan American Airways in Teheran, Iran. Marv Durning is a law student and Economics instructor at Yale. Joe Kelley is an Ann Arbor, Mich., physician.
That ought to do it for now. Hope to see many of you at various gridirons this fall. The Green should be a strong Ivy contender, so they will deserve and encourage your support.
DON'T FORGET THE BIG TENTH JUNE 19-21.
