1948

The end of the summer is just about here and it really seems pretty good to get back to work again. Another of my fall pleasures is assembling my thoughts and notes about you fellows so that I can fill in a few niches that Bobo has missed with his excellent newsletter.

First to give you a little news on myself, our third son. whom we called Tom, arrived the end of May and, therefore, the beginning of the summer was spent trying to get a few extra winks of sleep when possible. In August we packed the whole family into the station wagon and headed for a vacation on Cape Cod, where we had rented a very nice beach cottage near Wellfleet. The children had a wonderful time, between the beach, fishing and miniature golf, and so did I except the day I tried swimming in the ocean and found that water 53 degrees is a little too cool for comfort. There is a lot of variety on the Cape and each one in the family can enjoy himself.

During the summer I also had the opportunity to play tennis with Don Gilmore. Don is living in nearby Portchester and works for the Committee for Economic Development in New York as an economist.

As you might know John Fenno, our able treasurer, has moved from Niles, Mich., to Le Sueur, Minn., where he has been appointed sales manager of the mushroom department for the Green Giant Company.

Even though I am a little tardy in giving Bud and Rickie Gold a big cheer for the arrival last winter of their first son, Stephen, I hope that Bud teaches him how to run early as Dartmouth can always use a fast sprinter.

I was quite surprised to learn that BarneyHoisington has retired from the investment business to become the assistant of Bob Hage '35 in the Financial Aid Department at Hanover. The Hoisington family are now living on Park Street after moving from Princeton. I am sure Barney will do a terrific job in this interesting and ever more vital area of college admission.

Late in May the College also announced that Russ Carlson, who did such a good job directing our successful Alumni Fund drive again this year, has been elected Vice President of the Dartmouth College Class Agents Association. I'm glad to see that others recognize what a great job Russ is doing for the college.

At another election this spring Lew Aronowitz continued his successful advance in the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce. He was elected National Vice President responsible for the New England States. Lew's activities these days would fill this whole column, but I might comment that in conjunction with his activities and meetings he attended the Junior Chamber International Conference in Paris as the U.S. delegate to the Economic Affairs Commission.

The science race is certainly not leaving our class behind as we hear that Lou Kraff was just appointed manager of the Space Instrumentation Division of the Technology Instrument Corp. in Acton, Mass. Lou had been in the Air Force's Geophysical Research Directorate.

Jim Punderson was elected to fill one of the vacancies on the East Longmeadow, Mass., school board. He is associated with the Punderson Oil Co., fuel distributors in Springfield.

After living on the West Coast for several years, where he was an engineer with Sylvania, Bill Weir received a very fine promotion and was transferred back to the semi-conductor division headquarters in Woburn, Mass. Bill was , appointed national sales manager for this division. We hope to see Bill and Clara at reunion next spring with Patty and Judy.

Beloit College out in Wisconsin recently announced that Henry Woodward was promoted to a full professor of geology. Henry is also head of the geology department. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.

Last June Ted Tischler received a Master of Education degree at the University of Vermont. Ted is a teacher and guidance counselor at Vermont Academy, where I hope he takes as many wonderful pictures as he did for us. Ted and Peg have two children, Bobby now five and Kathy almost three.

Red Evans continues to move up the line at International Paper. He was just named Assistant Midwestern Regional Sales Manager for the Bagpak division. Red will cover an eight-state area. He and Janice live just outside Chicago.

The University of Maine announced that Prof. Charles Major, a zoologist, received a grant of $11,600 from the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, a unit of the Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare. The money will be used to finance research into protein synthesis inhibition. This work is vital in its basic application in relation to abnormal growth in metabolic diseases and cancer.

I've got lots of news for you next month but this has to be typed now so that it gets into print.
