1943
Dear Forty-three-ers, drag up a chair. The flashiest thing to be called to our attention during the past month was a page from the Aug. 28 issue o£ the Washington (D. C.) Times Herald forwarded to us from JackPfeiffer. It contained a full-page picture story by Bill Moseley complete with photos of our Bill (dressed in white shorts, white socks, tan sport shirt and sandals) interviewing several Washingtonians on the hot weather and what to do about it. It may sound like a dull subject, but a quarter-page photo of Bill popping questions to a Gayety Theater strip tease artist helped to keep reader interest.
As for Jack himself, he has been made superintendent of a Shell Oil Cos. depot in Spartanburg, S. C. after a year's training and another year's practical experience at the company's Alexandria (Va.) plant.
Both Bill Brayton and John Goode are working for the J. M. Mathes Advertising Agency in New York. Johnny is living at the Dartmouth Club while Bill has. recently moved to 2361 Longfellow Ave., Westfield, N.J.

A number of '43-ers spent a few days early in September at the Hanover Inn, including Bill Sweeney, Bob Hamill, Mr. and Mrs. WaltPowers, Charlie Edison and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Kirch. Word from Warren, N. H. reveals that George Mitchell was at the DOC's Ravine Camp in August climbing Moosilauke and other nearby mountains.

There may be others, but by scanning some solid six-point type in the Beantown Herald late in September we learned that one JohnKimball of Melrose, Mass. was one of the lucky third to pass a recent bar examination given in the Bay State.
Gleanings from several sources reveal that Dave Cooper is doing sales promotion work for the Travelers Insurance Cos. in Hartford; that Chuck Feeney now carries the imposing title of vice president of the National Exhibition Cos.; that Fritz Geller (who, incidentally, handled the liquid refreshments for our sth reunion so capably) is a trainee at the American Optical Cos. in Southbridge, Mass.; that Al Grant is a city planning investigator in Oakland, Calif.; that Norton Grubb is in the wilds of El Salvador for Esso Oil; that BobHiggons is an account executive with a stock and commodity brokerage in Ft.

Letters from John Hyde and Ed Tuffly to our former secretary have been forwarded to us. John reports that the necessity of attending a course in appraising at Swarthmore prevented him from attending the Fifth Reunion. At present he is in the real estate business in Marshfield, Vt. At a spring Dartmouth gettogether in Franconia he ran into Bob Varney who was doing publicity work for the Mount Washington area. We had previously chatted with Bob briefly at an unexpected meeting in the Hotel Statler in Boston last February. At that time he had just arived from the West Coast where he had also been engaged in publicity work.
The Tuffly family now boasts three children, the latest, a girl, having arrived in June. Ed is in the shoe business and reports that Houston is in a construction uproar, including the Krupp & Tuffly shoe store.
