Personal Observations
A few days ago, I received a letter from Bill Fitzhugh, written "On board the BlackHeron." Bill was on his way over to Trinity College in Cambridge, England, and, finding himself unable to get news in on time for this issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, he asked me to pinch-hit for him, so here goes. I'm hoping I don't repeat too much of the news in the first number which I have not yet seen.
Starting off chronologically, the first classmate I met after graduation was Johnny Jewett, down at Bar Harbor. Johnny is back at Dartmouth Medical along with Ralph Seeley, Dick Potter, Ted O'Brien, Bob Quimby, and about fifteen others I'd be stealing some of Fitz's thunder in listing.
Dick Montgomery told me at the Norwich game that he is carrying on with his old journalistic tendencies with the Manchester Union.
During my visit to Hanover, I also met up with some of my Tuck School classmates back for the second year, Wally Hodges, Walt Holmes, Al Tacy, and Herb Ostrow. Swanee Dawson, Wallace J., Wallace, J. A., Phil Hemphill, Al Brush, Bill Wilks, and Sven Karlen are also there. Howie Kaiser and Hal Ritter are at Macy's and Van Doom at Bamburger's.
The other night I stopped in at Jack Hill's room at Harvard Medical. There I found Jack and Danny Reagan hard at work on a remedy for a fellow Jack insisted on calling "Hot-soap" Stowell, better known to us as Randy. Rand is working for Proctor and Gamble in New York. Bud Fraser is there with him. Eddie Dyer is also at Harvard Medical, while the Business School has taken on the further education of Cy Millstein, Eddie Hinman, Doc Richardson, Freddy Axelrod, and Al Dodd. Still other graduate students at Harvard are Phil Guyol, Van Antwerpen and Riv Jordan.
Dick Upton and Halsey Loder are at Harvard Law. Bill Krieg is at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. Students of the law seem to come in abundance. There's Harry Deckert at Washington University, Butch Linson at Stetson University in Florida, Jim Hughes at Yale, Ted Harbaugh at Michigan, and Phil Conathan at B. U.
Don Hagerman, after summering in Europe with George Colton and Rockwell, is working for the telephone company in Lawrence, Mass. Charlie Sewall is with a roofing concern in East Walpole. Bill Lionett is employed by the Brown Lumber Co. in Berlin, N. H., while out in Oregon, AI Clark is also in the lumber business. Bartow Anderson is in New York with an investment banking house, Bill Adams works in a brokerage office in Boston, Biddie Chase is connected with the Universal Credit Company also in Boston, and Freddie Hickok is behind the bars as teller in the Andover Savings Bank.
Bill Clark is teaching and coaching at the Taft School in Watertown, Conn., Dick Carpenter is assistant coach at Cushing, while Paul Hilli is teaching at Perkins Institute for the Blind in Watertown, Mass.
Wedding bells are ringing for the Class of '35! Dame Rumor and Jack Hill together have it that they have tolled off Dan Swander, Rey Moulton, Bill Harwick and Link Washburn. Congratulations!!!
I'm afraid I have already written more than Bill Fitzhugh intended I should, for I understand it's part of a good secretary's strategy not to spring everything at once. Bill, I know, would like to get more information for future use. If, like him, any of you "see five cent stamps only in stamp albums," write to me at home or in care of the Daggett Chocolate Co., Cambridge, Mass., and I'll see that what you have to say gets to Cambridge, England.
