Last issue we did a little unfortunate bragging about all the news we were going to gather in Hanover at the Alumni Council meeting from Randall and Davis. The next morning we started off all full of enthusiasm with bag packed intending to take the noon train for Hanover, but we got waylaid at the office and never did get out of town.
On January 15, at the Dartmouth Club in New York, some thirty members of the class gathered for what must have been a grand party. We are indebted to Don McCall for sending us a list of those who attended. They were: Ed Marston, Jack Jones, Rudy Preuss, Sam Wormser, Will Shaw, Ken Meyercord, Ken Anderson, A 1 Lagacy, Norm Page, Joe Russakof, Ross Nichols, Herb Howe, Joe Creamer, Josh Davis, Ken Murray, Don McCall, Tom Gillespie, W. B. Smith, Ted
swanson, Reg Vincent, A 1 Chabot, Tom Hession, Gene Sullivan, Carl Schuster, Stu Ensinger, Gus Cummings, Ed Fry, Bill Crane and A 1 Welty. Looks as though Sam Wormser and Ross Nichols and maybe several others of the above group were now out of service and back at their peace time occupants. Also don't be surprised that our old friend and treasurer Gus Cummings was in attendance. As predicted a couple of months ago in this gossip pillar, he is now a resident of Westfield, N. J., where he has taken over new responsibilities for his company. For the present Madge and their younger son, Charlie, are staying in Wellesley Hills until Gus can locate a home in Westfield. Their older son, Harrington, is in his first year at Exeter. Gus and Madge dropped in at "Head-Acres" one evening (?) a couple of weeks ago, and it sure was swell to see them.
We are most grateful to Earl "Tommy" Thomson '2O, for sending us a clipping from the Annapolis Capital of January 28, which includes a good picture of Major Lyman Milliken. Lyman left his dental practice in May 1943, to enter service and has just received his discharge. After receiving his basic training at Carlisle Barracks, Pa., he served at Pine Camp, N. Y„ and Halloran General Hospital before going overseas with the 60th Field Hospital. Lyman served twenty months overseas, the last six months of which were spent as commanding officer of the prosthetic dental laboratory at the Calais Staging Area at Marseilles, France.
From Hanover we learn that Bill North was in town on January 6, and as previously mentioned, Cliff Randall and Josh Davis were in town for the Alumni Council meeting the weekend of January 11.
The Chicago Law firm o£ Tenney, Sherman, Rogers & Guthrie recently announced that George E. Howell, recently returned from active duty in the United States Navy, has been admitted to partnership in that firm.
The annual Dartmouth Alumni dinner in Boston is to be held on Wednesday evening February 27, and we are planning a predinner gathering for the class in a room at the Copley Plaza. Talking with Bob Williamson today about that party and he informed us that Clark Edmonds has recently taken a job with the Shawmut Bank in Boston. Clark has just purchased a home in Needham and expects to move his family up from Hartford around the first of April.
We saw Charlie and Barbara Bartlett yesterday, and Charlie reported that Don Gardner phoned his office last week. We haven't seen Dinty since he arrived in Greater Boston, but hope to in the near future.
Walt Bowlby is now located in Miami, Fla., and is living at 2036 S. W., 57th Court. If anyone has heard from him recently to know what new work has taken him there we would appreciate hearing about it.
A couple of Saturdays ago we bumped into Sykes and Helen Hardy in Newton Centre. Since last fall, Sykes has been in Chicago taking an executive training course at the home office of his company. Effective January 1, 1946, he was appointed Philadelphia Manager of Jos. T. Ryerson & Son, Inc. Sykes arrived in the City of Brotherly Love just after the first of December and is now in charge of their plant which serves a large area including Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern and Western New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, most of Virginia and North Carolina, eastern portion of South Carolina and Georgia and most of Florida. He is presently living at the Warwick on Locust St., at 17th, in Philadelphia, and is hoping shortly to find an apartment in the suburbs so that he can bring Helen and their daughter, Cynthia, down from Waban. Sykes asks us to send him the names and addresses of classmates living in greater Philadelphia which we will do shortly.
To start off the list mentioned above we are happy to report that Rolfe "Doc" Harvey is now out of the Army and is back at his practice of medicine. Doc is living at 117 Harrogate Rd., Overbrook Hills, Philadelphia 31, Pa.
Orie Herwitz has also received his discharge from the Army and is back in New York City living at 42 West 12 th St. We assume Orie will not be returning to the office of the Corporation Council of the City of New York due to the recent chance in administration of that city.
Dick Pierson has recently moved to 2174 Maine St., in Quincy, 111., where we understand he is still busily engaged in the garment manufacturing business.
The latest address for Bob Stevens is General Motors (France) S. A., 46 Rue Boetie, Paris 8, France.
Jay Wilson is now out of the Army and we believe is back on his farm in Hope, Maine. Jay's address is R.D. 2, Union, Me Frank Cloran has moved to 406 N. Raymond Ave., Pasadena, Calif Major Phil Fowler writes from Washington that he hopes to be out of the Army and back in Boston early next month.
Guess we've got to stop now on account of that's all the news we seem to have. Happy Valentine Day, and how about writing us a letter?
