1932*
We lead off with excerpts of a Clipper letter, mailed from Paris on Feb. 29 by M'sieur Bo Wentworth, '32's emissary without portfolio in wartorn Europe. Bo's last letter to us was written from Spain during the recent fracas in that country. The grim business of war is consequently no stranger to him. Bo survived, with true Parisian aplomb, the first alerte back in September, and has been surviving ever since.
"Curiously enough," he writes, "the biggest sensation of 1939 as seen by the N. H. Wentworths was not the calling of the caporal-stratege's bluff by Messrs. Daladier, Chamberlain, at al., but the arrival in our menage of wee (at that time) Linda Monroe Wentworth—place: the American Hospital at Neuilly—time: May 31 along about 6 A.M.—which meant that Bo must dash over to the Mairie that very morn to proudly inscribe the fact that she was nevertheless to be an Americaine. As a matter of curiosity I might mention that in an extraordinary number of instances on the preceding pages of the register appeared the significant word reconnu, since evidently French law provides an entirely different legal status as between youngsters born out of wedlock who are or are not recognized by the father. Result: many men, though married, do the needful and thereby give some rights of legal inheritance to children who cannot bear their names."
The hope is expressed that young Linda will one day attend Dartmouth Carnival, but Bo is gloomy. "Ex-roommate Add Roe didn't prove of much assistance as he too sired a daughter just three weeks before. If the leading M.D. in Newport, N. H., (not an adv.) couldn't call his own cards, what can you expect from an ordinary") mortal like me?" Bo also relays news that Stan Yudicky's new berth at the Newton (Mass.) Hospital is that of resident chief interne, in charge of six regular internes, with lots of opportunity for emergency work. "My guess is that if Stan operates as efficiently on Newtonians as he used to on the opposition (and us subs too, for that matter) on Memorial field, the parents should be cured almost before they enter the mesmerizing chamber."
Bos family is now at Etretat, a small village on the Norman seacoast. As for himself—"after five years as assistant manager of our European office and a year in semi-official charge, I was finally promoted this past winter to the managership. I have temporarily lost the supervision of our German and Danish operations—for obvious reasons—but am still trying to carry on in Holland, Belgium, France, Spain and Italy. I emphasize "try" because, as you can readily imagine, with from 5 to 15 per cent of the entire population under arms in each of these countries, it has raised the devil with normal business relations—and wartime visas, permits, censors, and other restrictions hardly ease the problem.
"Still, it's a great experience—or so it seems now—and I wouldn't swap it forwell—I almost said Reunion but that's a bit too much. My biennial trip home missed the Fifth, and it looks as if I will have to skip this year's scheduled visit, but something more than a quiet game of "Blocus" will have to intervene if I am to miss the GLORIOUS TENTH!"
With Bill Cole in Naples and JohnClark in Geneva we hope to have other impressions from abroad for an early issue.
Closer to home, but still somewhat remote, comes the news that Bill Brister and family, after several years in Panama, now receive their mail c/o Compania Bananera de Costa Rica, San Jose, Costa Rica, C.E.
Al Boncutter, who resigned from the Pearl Co. last October, has established the Pacific Insurance General Agency of the Houston Fire and Casualty Co., with offices in Suite 623, Colman Bldg., Seattle. Jim Dillon is with the Wilmington Sash & Door Co., in Wilmington, Del. JimHannan, who has been living in Summit, N. J., is to be transferred to the Pittsburgh office of the Hardware Mutual Casualty Co. on April Ist. He will have charge of the claim department.
The proud pops glimpsed elsewhere on this page need little further introduction. Bill McCall's refrigerator concern is in Hudson, N. Y., and its proprietor keeps in shape playing tennis and basketball and shifting scenes for the local dramatic club. Bill Morton is correspondent of the Chase National Bank in Chicago, with offices at 135 South La Salle St. In a letter accompanying the picture he reports the attendance of Wright, McGowan, Sheldon,Ackerberg, Sauer, MacPhail and himself at the recent Dartmouth Alumni Association dinner.
"McGowan is enjoying his new position at Northwestern Law School—he replaced Carl Spaeth '29 in that department when Spaeth resigned to return to the East," Bill writes.
"I saw Deak Mack and George Collins in New York during the Christmas holidays. Deak was passing through on his way back to Washington from Westfield. Although our visit was rather short, he managed to give George and me a play- by-play running account of the New Deal from March 4, 1933 to December 31, 1939, inclusive. He may have missed one or two events, but not more."
The main course of a '33 dinner arranged by Don Richardson and held in New York on March 8 was Harvey Cohn, erstwhile freshman track and cross-country coach, who now manages an athletic club for all Rockefeller Center employees (including the Rockettes). Another Radio City attraction at the dinner was JohnnyNutter, who holds the title of assistant stage manager at the Music Hall. Johnny is no walking advertisement for Harvey's gym, but manages to keep within a few stone of fighting weight. He was billed to comment briefly on backstage life at the Music Hall, but inexplicably disappeared somewhere between the dessert and the coffee.
Other news was gleaned at the dinnerMarve Chandler recently spent a week skiing in the Laurentians where he saw DonMarcus doing the same thing. Chandler allegedly has been giving radio talks this winter on how to ski Dick Clarke and Morg Hobart have been skiing every week-end and are getting very flashy on the boards. Hobart now has a full-fledged New York Class D downhill rating.
Nate Pearson is proving his dramatic versatility by taking leading parts in Junior League theatricals in Pittsburgh. He recently sang and danced in a production of The Red Mill, and in another play took the part originally played by Boris Karloff or Bela Lugosi In New Jersey Fred White spends avocational hours directing plays for several local groups.
Stop in to see a Moore this summer in the vicinity of the World's Fair. J. Warren (of Eastern Airlines) has just moved with his new wife to 40-45 Hampton St. in nearby Elmhurst. Jim Moore lives at 14737 Beech Ave., Flushing. He was recently transferred from Macy's Hardware-PaintGarden Dept. to the buying of small Electricals. His winter Sundays were spent frostbiting and ice boating. He expects to be in Hanover for Commencement, since his brother graduates this June.
Bob Hanner is the local Hoover manager in Toledo, Ohio. Lawyer Bob Williams is engaged to Jane Shelton of Chattanooga. Wedding in the spring DickHazen, in addition to holding down the same engineering job with Malcolm Pirnie, is teaching at Columbia Engineering School three days a week. He reports that both Jeffery and Hamel have acquired new sons Bob Fisher's industrial counselling work has taken him out to the west coast.
Ending it off appropriately with "Z," a quick note on the brothers Zimmerman. Since graduation from Tuck School, Gus has been with the U. S. Rubber Co. in industrial engineering. Works in Passaic, where he spends five days, with week-ends in New York. He's not married. John, who was graduated from Tuck at the same time as his brother, has been married for several years to the former Alice Parke of Brooklyn. He works for General Motors in the assistant treasurer's office in New York.
Back up Capt. Sheldon and his lieutenants in the Alumni Fund drive. Let's make it a banner year for '32.
