1927
Lieutenant Colonel Robert Louis Reinhardt died on March 1, 1944 at the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D. C., after a brief illness.
Bob was born in New York City on January 14, 1904. After graduation from Dartmouth he continued his studies at the Harvard Law School where he received the LL.B. degree in 1930. Bob practiced law successfully in New York City until shortly after this country entered the war, at which time he applied for and received a commission in the Army Air Forces. He had been doing splendid work as Executive Officer in the office of the Judge Advocate General for Air, in Washington. Only last December he had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Bob's wife is the former Mary Buce of Hartford, to whom he was married in the Fall of 1943. He is survived by his widow and three brothers.
Those of us who knew him will well remember his kind and friendly personality, his keen sense of humor and his honorable character. We are sad at the loss of a fine and able classmate. We are proud that he died in the service of his country.
A letter from Lt. Bill Abbott, still stationed at Almeda out near the Golden Gate, informs us that his family is doing well and that he is still enjoying his Navy work. The Abbotts recently entertained Lt. Coggy Broer who is now stationed in Oakland. Bill and his family are now living at 120 Hazel Lane, Piedmont, ii, Calif.
Bill Fryberger, a lieutenant in the Navy, was last reported in this column as having returned from sea duty due to an attack of ulcers. We are glad to report that these must have been promptly cured, because he has now gone out again and, we are informed, is very much interested in the new billet which he now has.
Dean Askew is now reported to be at Columbia University in some kind of a War Man Power job.
In his letter, Bill Abbott asks us to congratulate Cug Daley and Harve Jones on the fine job they have done for the Alumni Fund in the Chicago area. Also, to tell Gus we are sorry to see him leave the job which he has done so well and faithfully these many years.
Jack Andrews, who is still working for the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company in Springfield, Mass., has recently moved to 31 Canterbury Road in that city.
Dr. Dave Climenko is now a captain in the Army of the United States. You may write him at 54 North Pine Avenue, Albany, New York.

Do you watch the Dartmouth War Directory in this magaizne each month? Last month we noted that Tony Parker is now in the Navy.
A note from Bill North enclosed with an attractive catalog about the Dublin School in Dublin, New Hampshire, where Bill teaches. We quote "I thought perhaps you'd like to see what life is like in the country. I almost never get away from it and when I do I have to comb the hay out of my hair. But I seem to thrive on it, and thanks to your monthly column manage to find out what people are doing in the big world. Technically, according to the Army, I'm engaged in instruction of war courses—mathematics, history, cartography, and cryptography, all of which sounds much more impressive than it is. And they keep throwing me out of Devens and telling me to go back and teach them some more. So I do."
Back in January Bob Williamson and your scribe went over to New York for a day. On the way over in the morning, as the train was pulling out of New London, a familiar figure entered our car. Although we had not seen him since graduation we recognized him immediately as Owen Garfield who is still working with the Bell Laboratories in New York. He had apparently been up to New London on some "hush-hush" work for the Navy, for he would tell us nothing about it.
We have recently learned that Phil Fowler has received a well deserved promotion to the rank of captain in the Army Air Force.
Quite recently we had the pleasure of lunching with Chuck Burwell here in Boston. Chuck has just been transferred from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Boston, where he has been appointed Brokerage Manager of the Aetna Life Insurance Company. Chuck will shortly bring his family here to Greater Boston, where we are looking forward to welcoming them as active members of our 1927 group.
Your secretary having had enough of city cliff-dwelling has recently purchased a home in the Chestnut Hill section of Newton. We expect to move in the latter part of this summer and look forward to entertaining many of our good classmates there in the years to come.
Won't somebody please write us a letter?
Secretary, 152 Waban Ave., Waban, Mass. Treasurer, Box 1412 Pittsburgh 30, Penna.
