1943

I may have thought that my October letter was disjointed due to summer doldrums but I find as the fall goes on I am even more confused due to a multitude of activities, both business-wise and personal.

About three weeks ago, I returned from a New York trip to find that I was evicted from my very pleasant abode which we were renting in Westwood, Mass., due to the fact that a favorite son-in-law was returning to the Boston scene. Therefore, all projects of an extra curricular nature were dropped until such time as we had solved this very difficult problem. We have finally purchased a new home, now under construction, which may be completed for us by November 15. At such date we will once again take upon ourselves a moving chore which will mark the third time we have tackled this problem in a short year and a half. Our new residence will be on Glen Street in Dover, Mass., where we hope to reside properly until my retirement, whenever that might be. With this major step under way, my activities in attending football contests, etc. will definitely be limited as, unfortunately for me, I will be unable to be in Hanover the weekend Kelly Coffin gets together his ever-faithfuls on the weekend of October 18.

I will pick up where I left off last month only briefly mentioning my regrets and I am sure you all join me in the fact that Bus Mosbacher was not the skipper to represent the U. S. in the Cup Races. As it turned out, it was not much of a series and probably any one of our four boats could have defeated the poor contender. It is amazing to me as well as other sailing enthusiasts that so much money could be spent on a boat in England and come up with such poor results. That's old history now and we hope for better things in the future.

As reported in the last letter, Milt Bingwanger sent a very informative letter. Once again he, like so many others, acknowledges the delight in the birthday card greetings which, incidentally, still continue to swamp me with news. If there is some kind hearted soul who would like to help Chuck Donovan and me distribute same to the class, it would be greatly appreciated. Milt reports that he occasionally runs into Bus Mosbacher and a few others, whom he does not name. His most encouraging news is that the Memphis, Tenn., community has become quite active, due to stirring up the interest of some 15 alumni ranging in age from 25 to 60. They have held meetings and have shown Dartmouth films and even got the Dartmouth Glee Club to give a concert in their fair city during their spring tour a few years ago. After this event, they were able to generate enough interest in the school to have four boys enter during the preceding two years. Best of all, he states that seven Memphis applicants for Dartmouth in the fall of '58 were accepted and he is hopeful that a few out of the seven will definitely make up their minds to attend.

A brief story of Milt's activities since departing the Hanover Plain goes something like this. Served four years as a pilot in the Air Corps, both instructing and flying P51's and P47's. He saw little or no action of any consequence. He married upon graduation from Aviation Cadet School and has one Dartmouth hopeful, age 11, and two girls, 8 and 4 years old. He has lived in Memphis since his return from the service and has been active in his family's glass business. He would welcome any Yankee travelers if they should pass through the delightful city of Memphis. It is great to hear from you, Milt. I am pleased to note that you are President of your corporation. Best of luck to you and your family.

Bob Liming writes a brief history of his activities since Dartmouth days, which included attending Medical School, Army service in Manila, and Okinawa, residency work at Yale, and finally on here to Massachusetts North Shore as Radiologist at the Salem Hospital. He married an Indiana girl in Manila and they have two girls, aged 5 and 2, and twin boys who are 4 years old. It certainly sounds like a wonderful family with two good Dartmouth prospects to carry on the football wars of Hanover, just as their Dad did before. Bob's letter, dated July 18, states that last summer he was at the Priddy Dock at Bass River aboard one of our close friend's sail boats. I must have been on the golf course that weekend rather than on the water. I hope that we can make better connections in the future. For your information Bob, I married a girl from the North Shore area and it would certainly be fun for us all to get together.

Dick Bugbee comes up with a short note commenting on parenthood in particular. He congratulates me and at the same time states that his youngest is now 10 years old and that his oldest will be ready for college in a startlingly short period of time - 5 or 6 years. It is quite hard to believe but I guess we can't refute time. He is looking forward to our reunion next year and reports that there isn't too much news in his area; that he travels a lot, plays a certain amount of golf, and is able to squeeze in a few get-togethers with New Jersey classmates. I look forward to seeing you at the reunion, Dick.

Stan Neisloss informs us that he just hada recent addition to his family, a baby boy - James Louis (at least that is the name thatI translated from Stan's handwriting). Thismakes number three for the Neislosses - two girls Susan and Kathy, ages 5 and 3respectively. His business is home construction, which he very modestly states in hisnote to me. However, I find that he receiveda great deal of publicity in the New YorkJournal American. The headlines read"Young Building Team Boasts 1,000 L. I.Homes in Decade." The article goes on tostate that

Matching ambitions, a common family tradition in home building, and educational backgrounds in engineering and business administration prompted the birth in 1948 of one of the industry's most successful building teams. Today, Donald G. Partrick and Stanley L. Neisloss already have built more than 1,000 homes on Long Island, a truly impressive record achieved in a very, short period of time. Both boys spent about five years of apprenticeship under their fathers in the building trades. Among their home projects were Syosset Hills, Donald Stanley at Garden City, Oakland Dales and Pinewood Farms in East Northport and Eastwood Village, They are currently building a 200-unit St. James Estate development where 155 homes, ranging from $13,690 to $15,990 have been completed ana sold, and their development of $12,990 homes in Eastwood Village. Enough newspaper quoting. The class joins me, I am sure, in extending hearty congratulations to Stan.

Fred Stockwell breaks into the news once again as he has been appointed Vice Chairman of the Advance Gifts Department of the 1959 United Fund Campaign. He will serve in the Executive Gifts - Large Firm Division. Fred has been active in past Red Feather campaigns and in the United Fund Campaign last fall. He is a director o£ the Boston Y.M.C.A. and the Cambridge Boy Scouts, Red Feather agencies that benefit from a United Fund. He is also Vice President of R. M. Bradley & Company, one of Boston's largest real estate firms. He is Vice President of the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, President of Barbour Stockwell Company and Director of the Northern Industrial Chemical Inc. He is a member of the Winchester Town Meeting and the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston. It would hardly seem that Fred would have time to visit with his wife and four children but I am sure he does. Congratulations to you, Fred.

Two brief new news releases, one from the mother of Derek Van Quackenbush which states that Derek and his wife Marjorie and daughters Susan and Ann are now in Del Mar, Calif. Derek seems to be running an offset newspaper called the "Surf Comber" in his new surroundings and there seems to be an Ivy League group where he meets Dartmouth grads. We would very much like to hear from you Derek and your Dartmouth friends in this area. We were very pleased to receive this news from your mother.

Time and space have run out so I hope to continue with our over-abundant supply of news next month. Let's hope the Dartmouth Indians can continue their successful football season. Best of luck to all.
