1933
Let's keep in mind the fact that General Mackey is fighting a Campaign too. This will be the last nudge from this post. You still have time to get it up before the close of hostilities. We men at home should feel it a duty to equal the generosity of the men in the Services.
The following communique is from Lt. (jg) Gay Milius, stationed in Washing- ton:
"Prexy came to talk one night and '33 turned out a right smart bunch. I made the following list of the gang who were there. They were: PageWorthington, Jack Mast en, John Meek, Dick Lyons,Cal Milans, Win Hobbs, Bob Hagan, Jim Pimper,Charley Grob, Harvey Hopkins. We missed an old stand-by, Larry Reeves, who is indoctrinating at Cornell.
"I saw Jud Piers on in New York the other day and while in the City I met Dick Rocker's mother who showed me some pictures of Dick among the ski troops on Mount Ranier where he is stationed.
"I have been in town for 15 months and I guess I'm stuck here for a two year or more span. I'm living at Apt. 29C, 1725 Lanier PI., N.W., Washington. If any of the boys should come to town and want a day bed, there's one here."
A dispatch from George Weller (with American troops in New Guinea, March 25) reports that Jim Walker (Lt. James C.) recently accomplished one of the trickiest operations on head wounds of the Papuan campaign in keeping alive and eventually saving a man with his tongue severed and both jaws broken. The soldier's strength was sustained by the use of a tracheal tube.
The witty Major James J. Doherty (he must be a riot to the men) sends on this bring-to-date letter:
"I thought I was crazy entering the Army—but you entering politics in Waterbury, Connecticut—that makes me feel like a Solomon.
"My purpose in writing is to add a note to the Vital Statistics Department. I sent you a card in December when the baby was born, but remembered some time after that I forgot to put the City on the address. The fact that you did not get the card merely addressed John Monagan, Connecticut, be- speaks a need for greater publicity on your part. At any rate we have a beautiful 4 months old daughter, born December 21, 1942 and named Deborah King Doherty. Her looks she takes from her mother and the only characteristic of mine that she has displayed to date is that she is distinctly on the 'wet' side.
"Myself, I'm still at Camp Lee as executive officer for one of the battalions stationed here. I'm also enclosing a check for the Alumni Fund."
Listeners to the Chesterfield program recently heard Fred Waring name Leo Bernache as one of the members of the famous Pennsylvanians who had left singing to join the armed forces.
An unconfirmed rumor holds that FredBirmingham is with OWI in New York.
Pete Grace has left Norfolk, Va., where he had been stationed for some time, for active service. He is a It. (jg).
Samuel C. Lovejoy, erstwhile saxophonist with the 1933 Razz-ma-Tazz Commons Orchestra may be seen at intervals on the streets of Waterbury—usually in the vicinity of a bank. He retires to his green acres in near-by Middlebury on week-ends to get away from the cares of his war industry job.
I have written to Don Murray to extend to him the sympathy of the Class on the death of his father, Professor William H. Murray.
If you look at the label on the recent Dinah Shore recording of "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" you'll find that the orchestra was directed by Paul Wetstein. Paul also has recorded an album of Cole Porter songs—Victor, as we remember.
Paul Zamecnik should know his way about in a laboratory. After leaving Dartmouth Medical School, he went to Harvard where he received his M.D. degree. Then he started on a hospital-laboratory trek that was still going on a few months ago. He started with the Huntington Memorial Hospital in Boston. From there he went to the Lakeside Hospital in Cleveland. Next stop was University Hospital, also in Cleveland. After came the Carlsburg Laboratories in Copenhagen, Denmark, Huntington Memorial again and finally the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston where he is a research physician.

News has just arrived of the recent activities of Gerald Krosnik. He graduated from the Jefferson Medical College, and, in 1940, enlisted in the Army Medical Corps. In 1941, he transferred to the Air Corps and went on overseas duty. Following training in Cyprus and Alexandria with the famous Black Scorpion Squadron, he was made a flight surgeon, with the rank of captain. He had his first action at El Alemein and then went through the entire Egyptian campaign to the capture of Tripoli. At Tripoli, he was relieved and returned to Cairo, where he was promoted to major and reassigned to the (censored) Fighter Wing as flight surgeon. He got back into action at the Mareth offensive. His present assignment keeps him up in the air hopping from one squadron base of the Wing to another.
