1941*
One of the more amazing unimportant events, which occur so nonchalantly these days, has been reported by Scotty Rogers in reply to my public query about news of Pete Glenn and others.
Glenn and his fellow ambulance drivers are in and about Capetown, South Africa, and serving in the Middle East. It seems that Pete, Jupe Lewis and Doug Atwood were strolling through the Capetown streets, or whatever they have there, and bumped into Elmer Browne '40. In Capetown no less. Anyway it amazed me, but then I'm easily amazed.
You batted a thousand in sending tidings of the errant ones, incidentally. Felix Lilienthal, who has now transferred to Naval Aviation at Philadelphia, announces that Lee Trudeau is—or at least was—in advertising in New York, and Dusty Rhodes is overseas with the Marines along with Bob Darbee. The papers also reveal that Lee was married last March to Miss Nancy Cutler, of New York.
A mysterious character signing himself "The Dartmouth Super Sluether" sent a. postcard relating how Hed Miller is at Harvard Business School, and shortly before the time of writing was enjoying beer and a Wellesley blonde at Ipswich. The correspondent is suspected of being Hed Miller, but there's no proof.
Incidental military intelligence: ChetWilliams is somewhere in Australia, the only salient fact which survived the censor. Perc Holloway has left Eastern Airlines to be a. Chief Petty Officer at the Norfolk Naval Air Base. Lee Grace is a Naval Air Cadet at Corpus Christi, Texas—has been since October as a matter of fact. FrankDressner is in Marine officer's training down at Quantico, reporting in by telephone while in Washington for a weekend. Johnny Kelley is an instructor down there. Dick Sawyer enlisted in the Army Air Corps while watching a fraternity ball game in Hanover. If all went well, he was married to Barbara Kenney, Mount Holyoke '39, of Hudson Falls, N. Y., on April 25. Pete Keir is in the Navy's A-V (s) but still awaiting his orders to duty.
FROM KROLIK: "For your information, I am an Aviation Cadet taking special training in Communications for 16 weeks, due to receive a commission as Second Lieutenant in August, then off to wherever Unc Sam wants. 'Tis a stringent and continent existence, but I'm having a great time. Friends of my car will be glad to know it is now astounding St. Louis and vicinity, and me."
FROM DAVE BRYAN: "On June 10th I expect to marry Priscilla Davis, of Brookfield, Vt. As you probably know, shortly thereafter Pete Jacobsen and Jackie Clark also take the big step. Certain plans are rumored for a little get-together during honeymoons,, perhaps, involving Butterworth and bride and other '41's who happen along at the right time. Following that project I'll come back to medical school at the University of Rochester with Bill Clark, Hyser Jones, Clay Messenger and Tom Lawley."
And having brought up the subject, it's going to take the rest of the column to dispose of the myriad of marriages and marriages-to-be which have piled up.
