1941
Since Don Stillman has recently departed for Chicago and a new and promising position, the task of editing the column has fallen to number two on the list. My best is none too good but will have to pass until Don settles in the Windy City.
Now for some bits that have come this way recently. Dartmouth Night in New York was celebrated with great success and few '41's. I managed to collect "Red" Powers and HowieWilson but the rest were among the missing. It was a good party with half speed motion pictures of the Holy Cross game the big hit along with the ever-entertaining Prof. Foley. It came to us during the evening that DonBlount after three girls has at last a candidate for future track honors at Hanover, Donald Franklin, by name. "Red"' Powers met up with Hugh Kenworthy and I believe "Mouse" Hall at the Penn game. The Colgate weekend brought with it by way of a national hardware convention in Atlantic City, N. J. Norm andMary Jones. To our great pleasure they spent a couple of days on Long Island with us where the varied and wondrous beauties of the locality were properly shown them. How about a few more of you fellows in the wide open west paying us a visit? The Dartmouth Clubs in all the main cities are the best sources of names and addresses but if you know'of a trip in time, drop me a line and I'll try to forward those addresses in my possession. By the way, Mary and Norm are also proud parents—Norm Jr., 3 years and Jan, I year. Roy Rowan writes from Shanghai that for the last three months he has been travelling in Southeast Asia and Hyderabad. Perhaps you saw his account in Life magazine of an ambush in the recent war out there. He was in the middle of it and came out with a remarkable first hand story. His last address was 17 Chung Shan Road (Eastern 1) Shanghai c/o Time-Life. It was interesting to note that inflation there made the air mail rate for an ordinary letter two hundred thousand yen (I think that is the denomination used).
More news of arrivals via the airways to Bob Barr and his missus on September 5 Donald Murray Barr. Then a third son was the proud package presented to Dave Bryan Christopher Baird Bryan on October 13.
Hank Palmer sends word from Minneapolis that he is with General Mills but misses the East a bit. I'll just forward his note to our Chamber of Commerce and he won't have a chance of staying out there. Lew Johnstone has only good words for Cincinnati and passes his regards to all. Then a note from Mrs.Miller, mother of Arm, that he is now "vacationing" in Germany on an all expense tour by the Army. Previously he had been in the Pacific regions, Korea and Japan. There's real touring for you. How about a line to him his address is Capt. Armand B. Miller 0405012, 22nd T.C.S., 317 th TCG A.P.O. No. 633 c/o P.M., N. Y.
Other items reaching the rural post box of this Long Island haunt tells me that BobLevine has been promoted to assistant professor of Chemistry at the Univ. of Pittsburgh. Bob is following well in the footsteps of his uncle Prof. Louis Silverman. This strong north wind that keeps howling across the Long Island Sound must have brought this note down the Connecticut Valley from Hanover. It says that quite a number of '41's have been seen about the Inn during the past few weeks—the Dan McMullens out of Waldoboro, Me.; the Phil Halls of Meriden, Conn.; Alex Tarumianz and his wife; and last but not least Austin Baker and his wife.
Mrs. Fred Howland, widow of Fred, notes that the city of Medford is honoring each of her war victims and that Howland Circle will be dedicated in a new West Medford housing development.
The Pittsfield, Mass. Berkshire Eagle carried a story on George Guerrieri who is now Dr. Guerrieri. He is opening an office there at 344 North Street after passing through Marquette Med. School, St. Joseph's Hospital (Milwaukee), internship, two years in the Army and then further training at the House of Mercy in Pittsfield.
I hope before closing this column to add a few notes of the Yale game but before that let me ask all of you to keep the news rolling in. Being placed in the same boat that Don Stillman has been maneuvering, I can now appreciate his feelings as the deadline approaches.
A few more headlines rise before me "Buzz" Willis new Roslyn Proprietor." Buzz opened a combination ice cream, gift and record shop in Roslyn, L. I. Done in old Williamsburg Colonial architecture, it is a great place and shows real promise of becoming the favorite meeting place of the area. HarryDouty met us for lunch awhile ago. He is now a buyer of sporting goods at Macy's. DickPotter, recently prevented from taking his fishing trip to the north woods by illness in the family, tells of reading an article in one of the photo magazines a couple of years ago on "flying in" to the best fishing country on this continent. The result—an annual pilgrimage and fresh fish over a camp fire. By the way, if anyone is looking for some duck hunting, George Sexton, a down-easterner transplanted to Long Island, is your man.
That about winds up this person's efforts at filling up space for the editor except for a reminder to get your dues in before Christmas makes you look elsewhere. Let's build up our treasury while we can for reunion will be here before we know it and these next two years will mean the difference between more beer and a lot more beer. Seriously though, keep those letters coming and keep the class together.
