Inn Manager
DAVID HEALD '42, now Assistant Manager of the Hanover Inn, will succeed Peggy Sayre Marshall as Manager when her resignation takes effect on June 30, it has been announced by President Dickey. Mrs. Adele Hall Ives, who has been Assistant to the Manager for nearly seven years, will be the new Assistant Manager of the College's inn.
Mrs. Marshall, the former Peggy Sayre, was married March 19 to Andrew Marshall Jr. of Hanover, son of Andrew Marshall '01. In relinquishing the Inn managership for domestic life, she will bring to a close a highly successful career which has made her one of New England's leading figures in the hotel field. Known informally in the Dartmouth family as "Peggy," she has extended hospitality to thousands of alumni and friends of the College, many of whom have become her personal friends. Gifted as managers and as creators of a bright and homelike atmosphere, Peggy and her late husband, Captain Ford K. Sayre '33, who was killed in a Pacific Coast airplane crash in 1944, improved the Hanover Inn tremendously and put it on its feet financially after a period of years in which it had to be financed heavily from general College funds. One of their pioneer achievements was the inauguration of the now-famous Children's Ski School.
Mrs. Marshall has been Manager since the fall of 1944, when she succeeded her late husband. She had been Assistant Manager since 1936, the year in which she and Mr. Sayre took over the management of the Inn after serving for three years as co-managers of Dartmouth-atMoosilauke for the Outing Club. With their combined family of five children, including Ford, Margaret and Robert Sayre and two young Marshall sons, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall plan to make their home in Hanover, where Mr. Marshall is the owner and operator of the Frozen Food Lockers plant.
David Heald, the Inn's newly appointed Manager, was named Assistant Manager only last December following his discharge from the Army. During his military service, which began in March 1942, he was promoted to Staff Sergeant in the Quartermaster Corps and was a senior instructor in the Army's school for cooks, bakers and mess officers. He was one of a group of Quartermaster Corps men who ran the General Mess for the Army Air Corps' 54 hotels at Atlantic City, and in this connection he worked closely with George Hitz, well-known New York hotel man. He also served as mess steward for the 242 nd General Hospital in France.
Mr. Heald came to Dartmouth from Nashua, N. H., and as an undergraduate was prominent in the Outing Club, serving as secretary, member of the Winter Sports Council, and director of competitions for the 1943 Winter Carnival.' He was assistant hutmaster at the Ravine Camp and during the summer vacations helped to operate the D.O.C. Moosilauke Summit Camp. Mr. Heald was married in his senior year to the former Jane Winey of Brooklyn, N. Y. They now reside in Norwich, Vt., and have a young son, David.
Mrs. Ives, the Inn's new Assistant Manager, has had oversight of the front desk and general service since joining the staff in 1939- She also is known to a host of Dartmouth alumni and friends of the College and in her new position will be counted upon to maintain and enhance the attractive appearance and atmosphere of the Inn. She is the widow of the late Frederick P. Ives '19, who died in 1936.
