1928
Well, we finally saw a Dartmouth football game after several years of not being able to take leave whenever we wanted to. We made the trip to Ithaca for the Cornell game and had a pleasant picnic with the Bill Mortons and the Bob Hosmers ('32) from Syracuse. The game was a good one to watch even though Dartmouth did lose. Ford Blickley and AL Willey were the only members of our class that Bill or I saw.
The following Saturday, Dartmouth's victory made the long trip to Princeton more than worthwhile. We had lunch with Herm Schnepel and his date before the game, and also saw By Dodge, George and Elisabeth Emery, and Ernie and Jean Wright, as well as a couple of young sprouts from '29, Lyt Johnston and Elly Cavanagh.
In our last column we listed seven '28ers who are serving as officers of their local Alumni associations: Van Riper, Lyman, Beebe, Loren Stevens, Grimes, Wendell Phillips and Dick Walker. To this hard-working group should be added Ed Atkinson, of Columbus, treasurer of the Dartmouth Club of Central Ohio.
Red Edgar reports seeing the following at the Harvard game: Bob MacPhail, the Middlebrooks, the Campions and young Jim, the Bill Kimballs, and the Nixons.
Bill Ballard is on a three-man steering committee appointed by President Dickey to plan his "Great Issues" course. Bill represents the Science Division of the faculty, a distinct honor according to our Hanover correspondent, Dean Bill Kimball. Bill Ballard's father- in-law, Ralph E. Flanders of Springfield, Vt., was elected to the U. S. Senate on November 5.
Examples of the kind of letters we'd like to see more of came in recently from Wendell Phillips and Red Fauntleroy of Houston, and Bob Clark of Springfield, Mass.
Red writes:
We certainly enjoyed John Dickey's visit in Houston. He arrived here last Tuesday. We had breakfast with him, dinner that night, which was a stag affair, and a big dinner Wednesday night (December 4), which was mixed. The breakfast and dinner were very informal affairs and he made no talks, but at the Wednesday night dinner he told us what was going on at the College and for the benefit of those who had not been back for some time, gave us a word picture of the campus changes, plus the difficulties that the College administration is encountering today. Then he got on what is apparently a pet subject with him— control of atomic force. Everyone thought he was an excellent speaker and I was pleased to know that the Trustees had picked such a man for Hoppy's successor. He has a terrific amount on the ball and has a keen insight in education. I believe we are very fortunate in getting him.
The only '28ers here are Wendell Phillips, Charlie "Tex" Robertson, and myself. Wendell is President of the Dartmouth Club of Houston and served as toastmaster at the banquet.
I haven't seen any other '28ers except Johnny Phillips when I was East a couple of years ago. Jack Straight 26 whom you might remember as an end on the football squad, blew in Wednesday night at the dinner. He has been in Texas for 16 years, but we had never run across each other before.
Red is factory manager of the Gaylord Container Corporation and has three children. He served in the State Guard early in the war, but resigned in 1943 and went into the Auxiliary Coast Guard which did patrol work on the ship channel. In that he rose to the rank of BMC Ist. He admits that night patrolling got a little tiresome and that he was always hoping something would happen. All that did happen was a fire or two, which he had to attend since his boat had fire fighting equipment on it.
Wendell Phillips says he is still a bachelor and apparently destined to remain one for the rest of his days. He is back with his old connection—general insurance, associated with Langham, Langston & Burnett, general agents for the Aetna Casualty & Surety Co. He was a captain in the Coast Artillery, and was supply officer at the Prisoner of War Camp at West Point for 18 months prior to his separation at Ft. Dix on March 25, 1946. His terminal leave was up June 21,51 months after he joined up.
Skipping north again, we have a letter from Col. Bob Clark, prominent Springfield bachelor and ever faithful purveyor of '28 news. Bob says:
Tim Paige has been in Hamilton, N. Y., superintending the Veterans Housing project for Colgate University for the Delval Construction Co. Tim went out there the first of August and has enjoyed the work immensely.
I saw in one of the advertising publications a while ago that Craw Pollock had resigned as Promotion Manager of the Cellophane Division of DuPont to become Sales Promotion Manager of C. A. Swanson & Sons, Inc., of Omaha.
Ed Lyman is a partner in a leading Springfield law firm—Ely, King, Kingsbury & Lyman. Ed has two children, Karen Ann, 13, and Edwin Foster, who was born this year on May 11.
Don Benjamin is auditor of the U. S. Envelope Co., the largest envelope company in the country, with plants throughout the country and headquarters here in Springfield.
The last time I was in New York I was able to get a room at the Waldorf-Astoria, thanks to the assistance of that establishment's assistant director, Si Simons. Si has had his hands full as he has had to cope not only with the present hotel room shortage but with the problem of housing the United Nations delegates.
I spent a coupie of days in Woodstock not long ago, and talked with Lane Dwinell in Lebanon. Lane is still busy running the Carter Churchill Co.
Bill Breyfogle's recent move from Peterborough, Ontario, which had been his home for 25 years, to West Hartford, Vt., led me to ask questions. I found that Bill's only reason for ever being in Peterborough was because of his family, both his parents being American. His father ran the DeLaval factory there. Mr. Breyfogle died some months ago and both Mrs. Breyfogle and Bill and his wife pulled up stakes about as soon as they could. Bill is happily settled in West Hartford and although the farmhouse he and Betty are living in lacks some of the more interesting refinements of our civilization, they will probably come with time. It is a beautiful spot and a good place for Bill to write. His last published story I have heard about was in Harpers.
I. E. Theodore Baehr announces the arrival on May 31 at the Doctor's Hospital in New York of a son, Millard Robert E. Theodore Baehr. That list of appendages goes his dad one better, and, unless he abbreviates it, poor Ted 2nd is going to get writers' cramp from signing his name throughout his lifetime. Ted says his son is automatically a Son of the Colonial Founders, a Son of the Revolution, a Cincinnatian and a Son of the Confederacy! Ted is trodding the boards of the Ziegfield Theatre opposite Carol Bruce in the current revival of "Showboat." Any '28ers are invited to come backstage and talk over old times.
Stew Hoagland says it has just dawned on Bea and him that in another ten years or less they may be grandparents. Their oldest child, Mary Stewart, went off to boarding school this year.
Bud Osborn says: We have two kids, a boy of 5 and a girl of 6. I have been trying to teach the former how to box, though I never knew how myself. It's getting so the chest muscles won't take it any longer—l'll have to hire a sparring partner for him'. In the meantime I am busy with "Soilax." We are doing a national advertising job now and are breaking into the New York grocery market after successfully opening Chicago, Detroit and other major towns. Flash—For the past week I've been in the 80's on the course!
I saw another great golfer, Jim Hunter, in nearby Elmira, N. Y., a few days ago. He owns a prosperous trucking business there, the Hunter Transportation Co., and another company dealing in building materials. Jim is the leading golfer in these parts and holds the championship of the Elmira Country Club.
During the war we could never tell where most of our classmates were serving outside the country. One by one, as we have time to write them, we are finding out interesting bits of recent history:
Lt. Comdr. Parker Noyes, for instance, served with Fleet Air Wing 4 in Kodiak and Adak in the Aleutians, and later with Fleet Air Wing 14 in San Diego. He got out of the service just a year ago, after 3 1/2 years in uniform, and returned to his former employer, Cooley & Marvin, in Boston, as a public accountant. He says the most important bit of news, however, is the arrival of Richard Bartlett Noyes on May 8.
Phil Sherman comes through with a few names of places he couldn't mention during wartime. He shipped out of the U. S. with a P-47 outfit, had some extra tactical training on Eniwetok, then went in on Ie Shima, in the Ryukus, just after Ernie Pyle was killed there. It wasn't much fun, Phil says, for Okinawa came after that. He was finally shipped back to the States and discharged in November, 1945.
He says, "I wanted to reopen the Tutoring Bureau, but found the housing conditions in Hanover impossible. It wasn't until October 1946 that I finally landed office space in the Davison Block, so I have been in operation only two months. I'm happy to be back in Hanover again, and look forward to Reunion in 1948."
The Boston Herald of Nevember 15 carried a big picture of Ed Sawyer, the Bangor boy who is now head of the A. & P. national fish department, dispatching the first planeload of lobsters and other seafood to be sent from Boston to the Midwest. Various Boston dignitaries attended the ceremonies.
In a reorganization of the General Foods Corporation, Howie Chapin came out with a nice promotion. His new job is sales and advertising manager of the Jell-O Division ("Jell-O" products, "Certo," "Sure-Jell," and "Minute" products).
Damon Hatch is a foreman for the Gillette Safety Razor Co., in South Boston Mutt Jennings reports that Bunny Sanborn is doing a grand job for Lybrand, Ross Bros. & Montgomery, and that Horace Moulton served as town counsel at Needham during the war Johnny Kenerson has moved from Norwell to a more central location in Wellesley Hills.
Mary and I had the pleasure of putting Ford Blickley up overnight when business brought him to Elmira. We hope some more of you '28ers who get around the country will try out our hospitality too.
This issue of the MAGAZINE is going to all '28 men and therefore it's a good opportunity to point out that we could improve the quality of our reporting if you would send in news about yourself without waiting to be coaxed. You could help, too, by sending your check for $5 for your class dues to Rupe Thompson.
[Just prior to going to press, the Editors received from reliable, but necessarily secret sources, information that leads us to believe that efficient, self-effacing Osmun Skinner does not print all of the '28 news. The information: one O. Skinner '28 was last month elected a director of the Pennsylvania Petroleum Association.]
