1930

By the time these notes are in print and you are reading them, the weather and the season will be such that baseball will undoubtedly be a thing of the past for some time to come. But the World Series "madhouse" in Boston will never be forgotten. Your secretary was glad to note that several of you noted his advantageous address for the Boston World Series games and suspected that he might have an "in" for some choice seats. The Red Sox system of dispensing tickets for these games was unique, to say the least, but your secretary made an application not only for himself but in compliance with every request received. The results were uniform—not a ticket among all of the applications. Don't accept this as an indication of what we might be able to do for you in other respects.

Jim Tyler was on a business trip to Boston during the latter part of September. Jim and his family, consisting of a boy aged 10 and a girl aged 8, continue to live in Schenectady and Jim recently received a substantial promotion with General Electric Co., as a result o£ which he is now Supervisor of Customer Building of the Apparatus Department. Hard work has not disagreed with Jim as is evidenced by his present 195 pounds as compared with the mere 135 when he left Hanover. It appears that Jim's boy is a sufferer, as is your secretary, from random attacks of poison ivy and, with deference to those of the medical profession, we hold ourselves out as authorities on the subject.

Word was recently received from HorstOrbanowski indicating that the first mail he had received from America since the end of the war was the communication with respect to Reunion. Horst did not say that he had continued his hockey playing and apparently has been and is busily engaged in structural engineering work. Horst is now living in Dusseldorf and his family consists of two girls and a boy, respectively aged 8, 7 and 2. The last issue of the MAGAZINE carried a picture of Milt Pattersoii with a brief statement that he was promoted to the office of Traffic Manager of the Latin American Division of PanAmerican World Airways. Milt has been with Pan-American since 1940 and is now living in Miami. As if the competition in his business were not sufficiently keen, it appears that Milt's brother Emery, '37, is with American Airlines as a Sales Representative located in Providence. The files of the Hanover Inn show that the Harry Dunnings and the BenParishes were visitors in Hanover during August.

We recently noted a newspaper article to the effect that for outstanding work in supervising the demobilization and return to the United States of enlisted and officer personnel of the South Atlantic Wing, Lt. Colonel LesGodwin was awarded the third Oak Leaf Cluster to his Army Commendation Ribbon. We have also learned that Elton Palmer not only worked as a physicist on Special Weapons throughout the war but has more recently been working on the development of the heretofore secret Air Forces weapon known as "GAPA" (ground to air pilotless aircraft), Elt's work having been carried on at the Gulf Research Laboratories in Pittsburgh as well as at the testing of the new missile at Windover Field, Utah. Unless something interfered with his plans, BillBragner was to have arrived home from Japan about the middle of October.

B. T. (Fitz) Fitzpatrick found it impossible to attend Reunion because of the complications of his duties as Associate General Counsel of the National Housing Agency in Washington, D. C. Notwithstanding the pressure of his business, one of our scouts reported that Fitz found time to catch up on 1930 affairs with a verbal report of the Reunion activities and Fitz has himself vowed to make sure he is in attendance at the next Reunion.

Frank McLaughlin's experience in registering his 7-year-old son Jay for admission to the College may be of value to other enthusiastic '30 fathers, and to Director of Admissions Dickerson: Upon return to Honolulu Frank said that young Jay was excited about finding a Dartmouth letter addressed to him which included one of the College catalogs. Upon discovering, however, after a careful examination that the catalog contained no pictures, Jay, with a tone of disgust, said to his father, "This is no more interesting than a Fourth Grade Reader."

Treasurer Charlie Raymond has, to date, received a hearty response to his plea for annual class dues. To those of you who haven't as yet answered Charlie, remember that those dues cover your subscription to the MAGAZINE plus only the minimum amount necessary to provide for ordinary expenses incident to the class organization.

THE FOURTH AWARD of the Army Commendation Ribbon was recently made to Lt. Col. Lester R. Goodwin '3O by Maj. Gen. L. S. Kuter.
