1942
There's a well-filled larder on hand this out- ing, Uncle Sam's couriers having braved Ver- mont's fiercest winter in years through thick and thin. Now my problem is in wishing this through the mails, clogged ferociously by blizzards, to the ever faithful on the Plain.
Ankledeep Jim Farley, who is behind the times with his newsy dispatches this season (thereby giving a big assist to this chronicler), has pitched in with some news on comings and goings in Hanover. I still predict that one of these days he'll come directly to you with some news of the Reunion in June. I will be patient. Jim's first missive tells of seeing Dickand Mrs. Levy at the Hanover Inn a while back. Dick is working for his father around Boston, and according to Farley's dull memory has two children. Jim also reports that EdChalfant is working for his M.A. at Columbia and putting in some time in the N. Y. C. book- store. And still the same group operating in Hanover, i.e., Merrill Mac Lane, Chick Camp, Tasty (Doc) Thompson, Dan Seacord, Swifty (Fli-Right) Barnes, Jack Williams, at. al. Farl's second letter, a post-Carnival report, mentions the names of Oily Quayle, Don and Ruth Egan, Dick Remsen, Frank Bartlett, Dick Riggs, Hal Eckardt, Art and Joya Cox, Don and Dotty Gates, Dave List, John Rosenfeld, Bob (Coach) Searles, and Jack Scolaro on hand at, near, or about Carnival time. Me, I worked until 5 Saturday afternoon.
Other mail which came to me directly and indirectly, one way or the other, included a postcard from Johnny Brewer (two in fact, directly and indirectly). Johnny has set up housekeeping at 1931 San Marco Blvd., Jack- sonville, Fla., in the process of being trained by Sears Roebuck & Company. Johnny is gradually putting together a family, one boy now, with his sister a May expectancy. Timand Sally Perry Crane out of Cambridge, Mass., announce (with a clever card) the arrival of Susan on February 3. No news on what Pa Crane is up to professionally.
Indirectly I have the news that Jack Stinson, who married up last summer, has set up the Stinson Wood Products Cos. in Huntington, West Virginia. His partner is brother Juny, class of '37. Other mail is a December 12 th letter from Dex Richards in far-off Bombay. Dex is with National Carbon Company (India) Ltd. and is now the manager of the Madras branch. He's selling flashlight bulbs among other things. CBI vets who remember how some of the local citizenry worked on GI jeep batteries after dark along Chowringee Road will wonder why. Dex' letter made me home- sick "and long for the good old days on the banks of the Hooghly. Brother.
A late arrival is a note from Jack Tobin who informs that he and Barbara Crane will be married on March 8. After the wedding the newly-weds will head west for three weeks of skiing. Jack also adds that Frank White is now with Macy's at Herald Square and has a job which is the counterpart of Jack's Gimbel livelihood, assistant buyer for the houseware department. There is much double talk these days between the two.
A note from Harry O. Bartlett at the Har- vard Graduate School of Business Administra- tion, indicates that Harry got his Master's Degree in Business Administration during February and now has a staff job as assistant to the Director of Placement. Armie Stam-baugh, Harry adds, is also on the school staff as a research assistant.
And finally there is a note from JohnnyStorrs who is in New Haven under a pretense unmentioned in his letter—l suspect it is the Yale School of Architecture. Johnny is the latest to come to my aid as a beater of the Re- union drum. He and Joe McCormick are hash- ing out some sundry plans to get the Connecti- cut alumni ready for the Hanover trek in June.
The Hanover clipping service is on the slight side this issue, but there are a couple of notes that will be of interest to you. For in- stance there is the announcement on February gth of the engagement of Alyce Lawless of Dover, N. H., and the University of New Hampshire to Doug Stowell. Doug is now at Yale Law. Then there is the news that JohnnyLuetters, an Army Doctor at Osaka, Japan, has been joined by his wife and daughter. Johnny is with the 28th General Hospital in Osaka. A repeat on the news, I think, that Don Gates and Dorothy Hignson Rosenheimer, of White Plains, N. Y., and the University of Wiscon- sin, were married at the Little Church Around the Corner on February 2. And finally the an- nouncement of the engagement of Peggy Jeanne Beitel of Chestnut Hill, Pa., and the Temple School of Nursing to Fred Slack on February 4.
