1946

Your secretary has just returned from a short trip through the South. Before I left I made up a list of all fellows living below the Mason Dixon line that I thought I might be able to get in touch with. I was reasonably successful; there are a lot of fellows who have changed their residence without letting the Alumni Office know about it. If you happen to be guilty of this why not drop Miss Ford a card and let her know what your new address is?

In Washington I talked with John Eddy's mother who told me that John will be graduated in June from the Law School at the University of Virginia. Ed Markham's father informed me Ed resigned last December from the Marine Corps and is now attending American University nights, where he is learning the radio business. He expects to go to work for Rubin H. Donnelly Advertising agency soon. I also had a nice chat with PhilReinertsen's dad. Phil and his wife are in Stockholm where he is working for his doctor's degree in political science. They both find time to do a little skiing.

I talked with Dr. Bill Beaven in Baltimore. Bill is still single and expects to go into the Navy for a year starting in July. Lou Heller has recently sold his two dry cleaning stores and is now thinking of going into the real estate business. Lou has been married for a year and a half.

Hank Stern and Mort Thalhimer really showed me what that Southern Hospitality is like. I spent a very enjoyable evening with them both in Richmond. Hank is in the millinery business and is Secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Virginia. President Dickey will speak to this group sometime this month. Mort is learning the theater business in New York but expects to return to Richmond and work for his Dad in the near future. Tom Andrews, another Richmond boy, is working for his master's degree at Wharton School at the University of Penn.

I tried to get in touch with many others j there are some on my list that I just didn't have a chance to contact. However, on v next trip I hope to see some more of the boys. I expect to take another trip through the West soon and will also try to get in touch with some of you guys out that way. By the way, before anyone gets the wrong idea, these are business trips I'm making, not pleasure aunts. You've heard beaucoup jokes about the proverbial traveling salesman, well

Another thing in passing, if I don't get the nicknames right in this column, don't hesitate to correct me. There are a lot of fellows that I don't know and I have no way of finding out about such things unless you let me know.

Mush Judson is Assistant Sales Manager of the Mojud Hosiery Co. according to a recent letter from him. Ed Johnson and Betty Thayer of Central Village, Conn, announced their engagement the end of February. BobMcDonald has recently started practicing law in Lawrence, Mass. Bill Broughton and Ruth Marie Ferris were married the latter part of February. They will make their home in California.

So far from all the reports I've had about you guys and your progeny I'd say you were all sterile. What's the story?

Mr. and Mrs. George Little, Mr. and Mrs.John K. Conant, the above mentioned BobMcDonald and Ralph Fifield were all guests at the Inn this past month.

I have recently received a very excellent Directory for the Class of 1928 which was forwarded to me by their Secretary, Mr. Osmun Skinner. It gives the names, addresses and occupations of all members of the class plus a geographical index and an occupational index. It's really a wonderful thing. This type of thing would be impractical for our class at this time because everyone- is still moving around and changing jobs very frequently, but we will plan to do something along this line in the years to come. If you can, get hold of a copy and glance through it, it's very well done and I know you'll enjoy it.

That's all for this month, how about some news from you guys?
