1940
A newsy letter from Lew Chipman gives us much information about the 1940 class contingent which is representing us in the medical field. "Doc" Darnley was the first of our class to become a full fledged M.D. after having completed his formaleeductionation at McGill University. "Doc" is now serving his internship at the Royal-Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada. Art French graduated from John Hopkins last Feb. 28 and is now interning at the Philadelphia General Hospital and will take up with Bud Czerny who also is interning at the same institution. Bill Sinclair and Jack Schleicher, with their respective brides, will live in Hanover where they will take their internship starting this March. Lew Chipman, after many changes in plans, is now interning at the Philadelphia Naval Hospital and will probably be there until the Navy puts him on active duty in some theater of the war.
Mac Cross writes from Danville, Pa., where he is Personnel Manager of the Rheem Manufacturing Co., that his headaches in this position are anything but diminished by the war. A more recent report indicates that "Ronnie" probably will feel the draft on his neck sometime in April or May. Sam Williams and Dick York, with their respective brides, were seen in Hanover on their wedding trips, but my informant was apparently unable
Mac Cross writes from Danville, Pa., where he is Personnel Manager of the Rheem Manufacturing Cos., that his headaches in this position are anything but diminished by the war. A more recent report indicates that "Ronnie" probably will feel the draft on his neck sometime in April or May. Sam Williams and Dick York, with their respective brides, were seen in Hanover on their wedding trips, but my informant was apparently unable to get any coherent information from either of them as to their future plans or any recent Dartmouth news. Johnny Case and Bets have moved from Chicago to Morristown, N. J., where they will remain until Johnny is inducted into the Mountain Troops—which is a matter of days.
Lt. Gordon Wentworth has just left his station at the De Ridder Army Air Base, where he was finance officer and organizer of the Finance Section, for service presumably overseas. "Gordy" did an outstanding job of alleviating the delays and inconveniences of the old finance system and quoting from a newspaper article
"It can be said of no man on the base that he had more friends or was held in higher esteem by his co-workers than Lt. Wentworth." Congratulations and best of luck on your new assignment.
As first pilot of a patrol plane during an, engagement with the Japanese Naval Forces, Lt. Richard Mather aided materially in the damage inflicted upon the enemy, for which he has been awarded the Air Medal for meritorious achievement. Attaboy, Dick! John J. Moody writes, "I am now an OPA-er, price specialist by title, in the Vt. State Office where I have been employed since June 15, 1942. I have a daughter, Sara, born March 8, 1942." Ray Unangst received his lieutenant's commission in the Army Air Corps at Monroe, La., and will remain there as an instructor in aerial navigation.
The social corner didn't collect much dirt this month, but we do have news of two weddings and several engagements. Bill Grimshaw and Miss Mildred Erickson took the vows at Tulsa, Oklahoma. Bill is with the Field Artillery, stationed at Fort Gruber. Don Shippam and Miss Alice Mae Kavel were married in Los Angeles, Feb. 12. Don is a It. (j.g.) in the Naval Reserve. Lt. Bob Bramley and Miss Carol Payne announced their engagement this past January. Bob is at Infantry School, Fort Benning, Ga. Ensign Charles Tuck and Miss Henrietta Farrand, of Boston, announced their engagement last January. John Turner and Miss Virginia Gardner walked down the aisle in Georgia on March 6th. John is at Officers Training School at Fort Benning, Ga.
Men who have recently received pro- motions in the various branches of the service include: Don McCaffrey, who is now a captain in the Marine Corps; Fred Davidson, who is now a Lt. (j.g.) in the Naval Reserve; and Phil Hallam, who has received his silver bar as ist lt.
