1941
Mort McGinley proved to be the wandering class reporter this month, as he has recently returned from a three-months visit on Hank Hibbard's ranch in Montana, and covered 10,000 miles before getting back to Baltimore. He routed himself so as to catch as many '41s along the way as possible.
One memorable stop was Minneapolis, in time for the Alumni Picnic, and our class ran off with the distinction of having more attending than anyone else. Mort mentioned having seen Tommy Oakes, Vinnie Else, Don Norton, Jim Vaughan, John Kelley, Bob Krieger, and a newcomer to the Minneapolis scene, Larry Norton.
Word from Cincinnati has it that '41 mem. bers have been elected to executive positions in the Dartmouth Club of that fair city. Frank Simpson is the treasurer, Stacy Hill the corresponding secretary, and Lew Johnstone the secretary. Dormant during the war, the club has recently been re-activated, and a cordial welcome is extended to all '41s passing through Cincinnati to drop in for lunch.
Before moving on it should be mentioned here that McGinley was a recent recipient of the Silver Star—an award made to him after returning to" civilian life, but in connection with outstanding services rendered on his part during the initial assault at Normandy.
Frank Munsey was promoted to a captain in the Medical Corps a month or so ago. He is now head of the Medical Division at Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, Ill.
Another good Army doctor recently report ing a little news is Capt. Dave Mullinken who is now on duty at Fort Sheridan, Ill. Dave finished Columbia Medical School in September 1944, and was married graduation day to Virginia Stolz of Long Island. Then to Hanover to intern at Mary Hitchcock before his stint in the Army. Dave's daughter, Deborah was born in July of this year. He reports having seen Marianne and Dick Jachens recently, who are also proud parents of a daughter Patricia born a few weeks ago.
Lance Ballou has recently moved to New York and is now working for the television department of C.B.S. The word "moved" is used advisedly, for he and his wife have joined that swelling army of house hunters in this metropolis, so he is not listing a permanent residence at the moment.
Burt Hedin, after discharge from the Ma- rine Corps, went back to Hanover to finish his second year at Tuck School. He is now affiliated with Axe & Co., a financial consultant firm, and will live in Tarrytown, N. Y. While in Hanover, the Hedins made frequent jaunts to see the Don Hanks' and their rapidly expanding farm (acreage wise as well as family wise—for as mentioned last month Don is the proud papa of a young'un now.)
Dot and Dick Darbee are now calling Ridgewood, N. J., home and are very excited with the prospect of soon moving into their recently purchased house.
Art Spoeneman's engagement was anr nounced on July 29 to Miss Zita Mary Armstrong of Chicago, and a Mundelein College senior. Art has been recently discharged from the Navy and is back again in St. Louis where he is engaged in business.
Bill Hammond was married August 10 to Miss Evelyn Ruth Osmond, \ Los Angeles girl. Bill has been recently discharged from the Navy after almost five years service, his last tour of duty having been as Exec, aboard the U.S.S. Charleston. Hedden V. Miller was one of the ushers for the wedding.
The bachelors are really falling by the wayside in this man's class, for there are still a few more romantic news bits to disclose.
Ex-Lieutenant Commander Bob Frondorf is engaged to Joan Adele Hargrave of Covington, Ky. So far as is known no date has yet been set for the wedding.
On August 5 Larry Barnett was married to Miss Patricia Anne Conine of Larchmont, N. Y.
A very nice letter was received from Norm Brandt, a member of our class who left Dartmouth before graduation. He is now married, and has an 8-month-old daughter named Diana. Norm is working in the Miami office of Pan American and is most anxious to contact any '41s in the area, or any who may pass through that station.
I hear by the grapevine that Dick Hill was involved in an automobile accident a short time ago, and am glad to report that he sustained no injuries, though his new 1946 Dodge took an awful licking.
And that's the bottom of the mail bag for this month. There should be a lot of '41 reunions developing after the football games this fall and news of fellows we haven't as yet had a chance to report on in full. So long then 'till next month, and let us hear from you in the meantime.
A DARTMOUTH FOOTBALL DYNASTY is in the making by the Young family. Lou Young Jr. '4l, captain of the 1940 eleven and all-East guard that year is flanked by his two younger brothers, Stew '5O, left, and Jack '47. Both of the "young Youngs" are also guards on this year's Big Green second team.
