1938

Letters this month are scarcer than steaks and there aren't any steaks in New Hampshire. Consequently I must rely on my own special secret sources of information for what little news there is this month.

Howie Fogg's paintings were shown in the Sert Room of the Waldorf-Astoria in New York on September 28. Howie was a fighter pilot with the Army Air Forces during the recent unpleasantness and since then has been devoting all his time to painting. His showing included twenty railroad scenes, in pen and ink, water color and oil.

Bud Walls, successor to J. Clarke Benchley Mattimore as class treasurer, has been appointed general agent for the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company in Chicago, effective October 1, and the OGPU advises me that he is the youngest living general agent of the company. This information came to me from a West Coast source and is not to be construed as an advertisement or a solicitation for the company.

Bill Lansberg is instructing in French at Boston University.

People still seem to be getting married, and by the time this reaches you Tom Roberts and Dave Choate will probably have left the ranks of the simon pure. Tom's engagement to Arlene Louise Schwob, of Des Moines, lowa, was announced in August.- The brideto-be, or bride, as the case may be is a graduate of Drake University and-has been working for the OPA. Tom is now a sales representative for Eastman Kodak. Dave's engagement to Elizabeth Tobey of Dorchester, Mass., was announced in July. Elizabeth is a graduate of Colby College and the Bouve-Boston School of Physical Therapy. Dave was in the Navy until sometime last spring.

Mike Sullivan was married in September to Dorothy Anita Sutherland of Hyde Park. Dartmouth was well represented in the wedding party, with one of Mike's brothers as best man and another as usher and two other Greens as ushers. But no Thirty-Eighters. Both Mike and his bride have been working in the social service department of the Veteran's Administration regional office in Boston.

That is about the size of what I've been able to garner during the past month, even with tapping wires and steaming open letters. With one exception, which I almost forgot: Charley Maguire was married in Rio de Janeiro on September 25 to a direct descendant of the first emperor of Brazil. Charley and his senhora are now on a south Atlantic cruise on his yacht, a converted Brazilian mine-sweeper. He has had quite a varied and interesting few years since he left college at the end of sophomore year—first in the diamond mining game in South Africa, then in the wood pulp business in Finland, then to the Orient for a couple of years and finally to Brazil, where he is exporting coffee, and I understand is interested in the development of a new industrial diamond mine in the State of Minas Geraes.
