1929*

Last night at the Copley Plaza in Boston it was broiled lobster and fillet of beef—tonight it will be baked beans and brown bread in the kitchen—for: DonSimpson, assistant professor of law at Northeastern University, teaching equity, common law pleading, landlord and tenant and wills, recently reappointed for a second year, lives in Marblehead with wife, Virginia, sister of Bob Dolphin (deceased); Bob Brinkerhoff, an N. W. Ayer advertising boy (remember the Reunion publicity), one of Lincoln's landed gentry, properly proud of two and a half year old daughter; Red Kimball who says he's a hog caller, but who in fact travels New England for Swift & Co., spends week-ends in his Braintree home with wife and five year old daughter; Walt Gutterson, of the thinning rank of bachelors, teacher of American History at Weymouth High School: Squeek Redding, lawyer, author and down-hill-into-the-snowdrift skier; Phil Gage of Gage & Taylor, Inc., Boston, contract furniture for hotels, clubs and institutions, organizer of class dinners, barbecues and ball games; Herm Liss, investment counsellor, Scudder, Stevens 8c Clark, another lone bachelor; Gus Herbert, with a wife, two sons and a house in Winthrop by the sea, handy to the East Boston Airport, take-off for our air-minded, much travelled lawyer; George Naylor, tax expert and partner in Tyler, Eames 8c Reynolds, country gentleman of Framingham, father of fifteen months' old Brooke Garrod Naylor; Bill Coles, who when not fog-bound in a flying machine over Mississippi Valley airports, tries cases, practices law generally and partners in Bartlett, Jennings & Bartlett, and then takes the North Shore express to his new home in Swampscott; Chris Born, architect, father of Conrad, two and a half, and Molly, four months, just returned from business trip which included a stopover at the Gunther's New Jersey estate where Jack proudly exhibits daughter, Nancy, two years, beautiful in spite of strong paternal resemblance; JohnDickey, father of Winchester's two most tomboyish girls, recently made a partner in Gaston, Snow, Hunt, Rice & Boyd, and just returned from a two months' special assignment with the State Department in Washington. Between mouthfuls there was talk of a class picnic or barbecue late in May, just to keep up the reunion habit. There were also reports on Rog Turnbull who works for the Equitable Savings Bank in Lynn, has two children; and John Hubbard who lives in Marshfield, has a son and a daughter, is in the lumber business.

Potsy Poeter has packed up and left New Jersey and private practice for Chicago and a new job as attorney for the Great Lakes Carbon Corporation, doing principally tax work and some administration. He says he has suspicions about his home at 3270 Lake Shore Drive because the telephone exchange is "Bittersweet." He probably can't get himself to answer the bell with, yes this is Bittersweet. Driving out he was three days snow-bound in a farmhouse in northeastern Pennsylvania; met up with Bill Henretta in Buffalo, looking fit and youthful as ever, visited Charlie King in Wilmette and met the latest addition to that line.

Then from Detroit Jack Angell writes: "Dick Brown is still with the Carey Company in the sales department and living happily with his new bride. Dick has been very active with the Dartmouth Club of Detroit and is now its secretary and statistician deluxe. He is busy, at present, arranging for the arrival of the Musical Clubs on April 13th. Dick Eberline is now living on a farm near Rochester, Michigan and is a sales engineer for the United States Rubber Company. Jack Brabb is an attorney with the firm of Brabb, Harris & Waltensperger. Jack is one of the short wave bugs and I hear he just finished "working" a man at the Sigma Chi house at Hanover. His call letters are WBSPF— 20 meter phone & C. W. Nobody knows if he ever gets that silver trumpet of his out of its case any more. Karl Pittlekow, when last heard from, was an account executive in the advertising firm of MacManus, John and Adams. John Blain is now Captain John Blain with the U. S. Government Marine Inspection. Bob Ellick is with the bond firm of Kirkpatrick, Pettis, Loomis in Omaha, Nebraska, and has just returned from a swing through the Pacific Coast states."

Tom received his medical degree from the University of Vermont, interned at the Albany Hospital, studied in Vienna, was resident in gynecology at the Albany Hospital and now practices with his father in Ticonderoga. A fall wedding is planned.

Van Jamieson reports that the Alumni Fund Campaign is underway. "I believe that we will be able to meet our quota of $3176.00 despite the fact that we only raised a little over $1900.00 last year. Our Class unquestionably has the giving power and if everybody will "up" his contribution slightly and if we can secure more contributors we should have a successful campaign."

Van's organization consists of the following committee: "Bill Alexander, Moe Heath and Talbot Babcock are handling Metropolitan New York. Duke Barto is taking care of Washington, D. C., and the neighboring towns. Jack Blair is the editor of our NEWS LETTER, the first copy of which goes to press, we hope, on April 15th. Ev Bulkley is covering Connecticut. Ed Chinlund is conducting a special campaign for Graduate Non-Contributors. Bob Drake is handling the Chicago area. Phil Gage is in charge of metropolitan Boston. Ev Hannan has Up State New York. Morrie Hartman is covering the whole state of Ohio. Bill Henretta is doing likewise for Pennsylvania. Jim Hodson has the entire west coast. Jack Hubbard is taking care of New Jersey. Mort Jacquith has Massachusetts. Herm Liss is conducting a special campaign for Non-Graduate Non-Contributors. Herb McCreery is handling the foreign group and in addition is assisting Dud Orr in soliciting the Hanover delegation and those located in nearby towns in Vermont and New Hampshire. Dud Orr has the entire New England states with the exception of Massachusetts. Bill Page has all of the Central States which includes about everything from Illinois to the Rocky Mountains. Ed Walsh is handling the entire South. Gus Wiedenmayer is handling the Campaign for the Special Gift Group."

Once a year we are asked to share in the support of Dartmouth.

A classmate has just passed on to me this story of the way one man in our Class has responded to this appeal: "While he was at school, he was the recipient of scholarship aid of about $1500. He needed it to go through Dartmouth. When he graduated in 1929, one of the first things he did was to take out an insurance policy for that amount naming the College as beneficiary. This classmate felt that he owed a debt to Dartmouth, and protected this obligation while trying to get started in business. Each year he also contributed to the Alumni Fund, and his contribution has been more generous than the average of the Class. However, while discussing the Fund with his brother one day he was fairly put to shame when it was pointed out that although his gift might seem generous, if he could afford more than that, he should give it; for if he believed in Dartmouth, he could never repay his debt in cash alone. The upshot was that he doubled his contribution and began taking an active Alumni interest in the College. We of our class should be proud of his attitude. You can't deny it; it's the true Dartmouth spirit."
