1923
What with no MAGAZINE for two of the summer months, and recent columns devoted exclusively to last June's Reunion, news has been piling up a bit, so we'll pass it along this time in capsule form.
October 16th was a green-letter day on the calendars of the New York contingent, as it marked the first of this season's Dutch Treat evenings at the Dartmouth Club. In a state of suspended animation for too long, these informal, always-enjoyable monthly sessions are now revived by Irish Flanigan who will keep 'em rolling throughout this winter and next spring. Any of you out-of-towners who hit New York on business trips are urged to drop Irish a line at 79 John Street and ask to be put on his list so you'll get regular notices and be able to walk in on us once in awhile. You drop in at any hour, go home when you have to, eat and drink what and when you please. They're good parties, glassmates!
From Gainesville, Fla., Carey Goddardwrites to Clary Goss:
As you see, I have changed my occupation. I have been studying Law nights for about a dozen years. During the war I taught physics in the AFF and ASTP programs, and then took a year off to finish the Law and get admitted to the Bar. I had been gradually building up an income tax clientele through the years as a hobby and side-line, so at long last, well. I have a daughter in William and Mary, and another going there next year.
No word from Carey for a long time, so it's good to know things are well with him and his family.
Hen Moore, who is fish, game and winter sports editor of the Boston Herald and writes their widely-read "Rod and Gun" column, has unearthed a fact that, as reported in Bill Cunningham's column, is "enough to freeze the attention of the entire New England community." The report states the fact "that, in a biological survey made by the New Hampshire State Fish and Game Department this summer, raw polio virus was discovered in the waters of the Merrimac River." Hen's report has stirred action among New Hampshire and Massachusetts people eager to combat infantile paralysis and grateful for the revelation of one of its important sources in that area.
J. Dudley Pope has been elected vice president of the A. C. Nielsen Company with headquarters in Chicago. Rumor says Nielsen is the world's largest marketing research organization. Congratulations, Twin.
Sammie Sammis, kept from Reunion by a strained back, is better. Praying for lots of snow and snow trains this winter for his ski slope, Farnams in the Berkshires, Sam is lending a hand meanwhile on the housing situation in and around Cheshire, Mass., by appraising some real estate for GI loans.
We've been wondering about '23's sons entered at Dartmouth for classes around '50. Reason: word that Sherm Baldwin's son, realizing he'd have only one semester there before military service, has enlisted in the Marines and is now at Parris Island for his boot training—postponing his entrance to 1948, with the Class of '52. Let's hear how your boy is making out.
Early in July George Fuller was married to Miss Natalie Sibley of Marblehead, Mass. '23 s best wishes to you both!
Charlie Zimmerman, director of institutional relations for the Life Insurance Agency Management Association, was principal speaker at the annual meeting of the New Haven Life Underwriters Association at the Race Brook Country Club in that city in mid-June. In addition to many commendations during the war from the Army, Navy and Treasury Departments, Charlie was selected by Forbes Magazine in 1935 as one of "America's Outstanding Salesmen"; by the Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1940 as one of "America's Outstanding Young Men"; and by the Insurance Field in 1942 as "Insurance Man of the Year."
A good newsy letter from Hal Baker reports that he's now Professor of Marketing and head of the Marketing department of the School of Business, Economics and Government at John Carroll University in Cleveland, and has moved to 4426 Groveland Road, University Heights, Ohio. Hal says:
To bring you up to date on what" has given with me, I left Miami University in June 1942 and went with the OPA, as probably the only anti-new-dealer in the third region thereof. As you might imagine, I had quite a time. I performed as District Price Executive in Cincinnati, which means that I had charge of the Price show there. I gave up around the first of December 1944 and went up to Chicago as economist and head of the marketing department for the firm of Stevenson, Jordan and Harrison, a management engineering outfit. Recently the teaching bug has got me again and I am pulling out for Cleveland. I am still married, to the same girl, and we have the one son whose birth was announced in the Class Notes column some fifteen years ago or so. At the moment he is slightly taller than I am and still growing. I hope he will want to go to Dartmouth, although he is talking about MIT at present. I have another book coming out around the first of the year. This time it is another text, entitled Introduction to Business and I am writing it in collaboration with my former boss, the Dean of the School of Business at Miami University which, incidentally, is in Ohio and' not Florida. Saw Truman Metzel and Joe Pick at the annual meeting of the Chicago Alumni Association.
Hal says he hopes to materialize at 25th Reunion, year after next.
Hanover Inn visitors during the summer included: Lou Van Orden, Ardie Herz, Bob Maxwell, Frank Donovan, Ken Way, Pete Hurd, Larry and Mrs. Barnett, Ray and Mrs. Baker, Roy and Mrs. Height, Tex and Mrs. Forbush, Irish and Alice Flanigan, Carl and Mrs. Gray, Howie and Mrs. Barney, Dr. Henry and Mrs. Hudson, John and Mrs. Foster, Cy and Mrs. Aschenbach, Si and Mrs. Hamilton, Charlie and Opal Marie Zimmerman, Dick and Dolly Kershaw. (Scuse, please —I don't know all the wives' first names.)
