Monk Anion's clever announcement gives us news of a new member on his team. Douglas Palmer Amon was born to Dorothy and Carl on April 15. That's two boys for Monk and Dot now Dorothy Cochrane sends along the good news that Steve came through the Iwo Jima battle safely Harriet and JohnDingle have bought a new home in Wilmington, Dela., and can be seen rearranging shrubs and miscellaneous landscape at 3 Woodbrook Drive any time Bob Turner forwards good news of the arrival of a son, Robert Eugene Turner, on April 7. Bob is a traveling auditor with the General Electric Co. and is located in Schenectady..... MelEstey was among the first on Iwo Jima according to reports, and the Major came through safely, which is good enough news. To add to the good picture we have tidings of the arrival of Allen White Estey at Wilkesbarre, Pa..... The whole class is hoping for good word to be received about Uri Munro. He has been missing in action since January 22. Our heart-felt hopes go to Betty, his small son, and parents that Uri will turn up as so many have on one of the Pacific islands Gus Farwell and Dave Camerer recently tuned up their tonsils and gave out with a few Dartmouth songs on the Isle of Capri. Ed Price and wife are located at La Jolla, Calif., where Ed is executive officer of one section. He reports losing a lot of business to outfits located farther west Al Mc Intyre is becoming more and more of a family man in Worcester, Mass., and is taking Amon's competition very seriously Word received by one of the boys lately indicates that Claude Clark is now a lieutenant (sg) on the U.S.S.
Paul Marx is having a spell of sickness and claims to be supporting several doctors at present, but expects to be up and at 'em in a couple of weeks Bob Luneborg expects to be in the Navy shortly. His application has been in for some time now. .;. ..ArtGuyer tried every way short of forged credentials to stay at sea, but the Medicos thwarted him. Now he's turned -up with the American Field Service in Italy. He has been working mostly with British outfits, but is keeping his good eye open for Dartmouths in that area. ....Russ Tompkins has been on a "grand tour", Scotland, England, Cherbourg and Le Havre, in France. He's now a Lt. (sg) and busy as Receiving and Shipping Officer with an astronomical tonnage passing through his hands. It was one of the worst bombed places in Normandy, reports Russ, and a really workmanlike job has been done of getting it back into shape. The historical points have not escaped Russ's attention, with old castles dating as far back as 1000 coming in for some attention: "When they speak of something new they mean within the last five or six hundred years," says Russ RayRichards writes of France and his continued moving. He is railroading for the Army using what French and American equipment is available. His is really a war of motion, and the present that drags so slowly seems to have merged into a quick-moving past as he reviews his sixteen months in O.D.'s RogPettee took note of Bob Kenney's picture in February and wants to congratulate him on his advancement since he was king of the white mice at Archer Daniels Midlands in Minneapolis is '37 and '38. Rog mentions to all that Don Ross's good efEorts helped secure a commission for Rog. He's also left the "Terry" and reports that he was so old that the Bureau made him a Lt. (jg). If the Eskimo, Lt. Charlie Sine, would report his whereabouts, Rog would like to write to him. .... Grant Crane, now Lt. Col., can be reached at Camp Pendleton, Calif. Better get him quick because he's been moving awfully fast these last few years "Rip" Ripsom is now a second lieutenant while John R. Herman is now a lieutenant commander. Dave Keneson is the new Hospital Administrator at King's Daughters' Hospital, Portsmouth, Va Cort Heyniges is now an ensign Dr. JackSchilling has taken a new post as surgeon at the Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N. Y....Capt. Jack Richter, Army medico, has been overseas a year, during more than half of which time he has been in action in France, Germany, and Luxembourg. He's received the Silver Star according to information received recently and that's not all.
The citation mentions, "not only performed the ordinary duties of battalion surgeon, but also promulgated, supervised, and executed a plan where medical assistance was immediately available to all tank crews, and has constantly and conspicuously been with the forward elements in his professional capacity. In the bocage country, after worming his way through a hedgerow, and crawling over a hundred yards across an open field swept by intense cross machine gun and mortar fire, he performed a life-saving trachaeotomy. On another occasion he went approximately three hundred yards beyond the furthest friendly troops to evacuate an injured soldier. At Morain he was with the tanks when they cut off by strong enemy resistance.
There is more, and it is most apparentwhat an able job Jack is doing.
