1927
A very welcome letter from Howie Mullin starts off:
"A June promise (at reunion) fulfilled and a 20-year abstinence broken."
This gives your correspondent a great lift, because it shows that some of you other abstainers may change your habits even after all these years. Howie, who is still in St. Louis working as Sales Manager for Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp., reports that George Woelfel filters down from Alton, II!., for major Dartmouth events, but that he missed the annual dinner this year because the river was frozen. George is still working for Wood River Tanneries of International Shoe Co., in Alton.
Howie also enclosed a picture clipped from the Oklahoma City Beacon of the very charming Mrs. Earl E. Krogstad and their two attractive children, Trudy, a senior in high school, and Earl E. Jr., a sophomore. Kroggy, still with International Harvester, has left Tulsa and has moved into the best circles at Oklahoma City. According to our reporter:
"Still handles cocktail parties in best Dragon tradition. Wife as indulgent as she is charming. Krog's softening up. Refused golf challenge to take in minor league football game."
All Howie tells about himself is that he has the distinction of being the second oldest alumnus in the local association and claims that the mantle of years weighs heavier. Those of us who saw him at reunion will add a bit of salt to the last statement, for he looked as young as the day he left Hanover. Well, almost! Almost forgot to record that Kroggy's new address is 2605 NW 30th St., Oklahoma City, Okla.
The Bridgeport (Conn.) Sunday Post, of February 1, carried an excellent sketch of H. Reginald Horton, vice-president and director of the Howland Dry Goods Co., who has accepted the chairmanship of the 1948 Red Cross Fund campaign for Bridgeport. The paper also reports that during the first World War, Reg, served with the Canadian Mounted Rifles at the age of 17, and that a visit to an uncle in Pittsburgh introduced him to this country, where he remained working for the Pennsylvania R. R. from 6 A.M. to 6 P.M. All this prior to joining us in Hanover in the fall of 1923.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack McQuade of Pelham, N. Y., were fortunate enough to be guests at the Hanover Inn in January. Nelson Robinson has moved to Sunnyside Ave., Nashville, Tenn. Nels has been working for Kroger Grocery and Baking Co., in Nashville for some years. TedSwanson is living at 270 Park Ave., New York City. Ted works for Sonotone Corp., manufacturers of hearing aids, as advertising and sales promotion manager.
Lloyd Eno lives in Kensington, Maryland, and works in Washington as Management Consultant at the Executive Office of the President, Executive Office Bldg., Washington, D. C. Arthur Gale is living at 43 West 11th St., New York City. Chuck Burwell and family have moved into their new home on Wharf Rd., South Freeport, Maine. Ted Selig is working for Richmond Radiator Co., in New Castle, Delaware. Art Keleher teaches at P. S. 126 in Brooklyn, New York, and is living at 160-39 9th Ave., Beechhurst, Long Island.
Not too long ago we reported that DickMooney had returned from Puerto Rico to his native Laconia, N. H. We now have him moved to Route 2, Red Oak, lowa. We would love to hear more from him and to learn what he is doing way out in lowa. Could it be something to do with refining beet sugar?
We also had a report not long ago that BobBirch was in Northampton, Mass., but more recently learn that he is living at 3008 Doolittle Ave., Arcadia, Calif. It would be grand to hear more from him and what he is doing. The same applies to all the rest of you who haven't been brought up to date in this column for some years.
Hope to have more for you next month.
