1943

In an attempt to catch up with some vitalstatistics which have been accumulating in ourfiles, we are devoting the first part of thismonth's column to a group of 1949 newlyweds who have previously been unreported:

First on our list is Ray Colby, for whom 1949 was really an eventful year. During that time he acquired not only a wife, but also a daughter and a law degree. Ray was married January 20 in Boston to Judith Ann Bright, an alumna of Indiana University, and their daughter, Ann Mitchell, was born September 9. The LL.B. was granted by Boston University, where Ray had been a student since 1947. In 1949 he also named district manager of the Atwell Co., Boston.

Moving West we find that Bill Davies and Barbara Laßochelle were wed November 9 in Lake Forest, Ill. Bill's bride attended Lake Forest, while Bill himself has been named treasurer of the Davies Supply Co., Chicago, a firm he joined shortly after he was released from the Navy in 1945.

It was a 23rd of August wedding for HarryGlynne and Mary Elizabeth Kiernan in New Haven, Conn. Harry's wife is a University of North Carolina graduate. In the business world Harry is now secretary-treasurer of Industrial Water, Inc. in the Nutmeg State while continuing as president of the Connecticut Pump Co.

Liverpool, Pa. was the locale of the October 22 wedding of Larry Johnson and Lucille Kerstetter, a Simmons graduate. Having received a law degree from Harvard in 1948, Larry is now associated with the firm of Hinman, Howard and Kattell in his home town of Binghamton, N. Y.

Don Kingsley was married to Marie Usai in New York City in February. He is still editor of Market Development for the New Jersey Zinc Co.

Continuing this belated roll call of '43ers who left the bachelor ranks in 1949, we come to Gene McCarthy, who was wed November 26 in Celina, Ohio to Margaret T. Spieler. Businesswise Gene is sales trainee manager in New York City for Fyr-Fyter, a portable fire extinguisher manufacturer with whom he has been connected for the past two years.

Elmira R. Miller became the bride of Sandy Myers in an April 16 ceremony performed at Dillsburg, Pa., where Sandy is a farmer*

We had earlier reported the engagement of that Pechter Baking Co. official, MortPechter, to Alese Cohen and now have word that the ceremony took place December 18 in New York City.

Bill Porter and Barbara McKibben were married January 28 in Patachogue, N. Y. Bill continues as superintendent of boiler refractory installations for Parsons Refractory in Brooklyn.

It was a Hollywood wedding July 15 for Amasa Pratt and Kathleen Patricia Caves, a University of Southern California alumna. The bridegroom is a microwave development engineer for the Raytheon Manufacturing Co. in Waltham, Mass.

Last man on this wedding report list is Frank Williams, who was married January 5 in Thomasville, Ga. to Mariane Watt Jeffries. Frank received a LL.B. degree from the University of Maryland in June and in December was named president of the Rockmont Motor Co., Chevrolet and Buick distributors in Rockville, Md.

Two members of our class, Larry Austin and Dick Emerson, have had a bit of bad luck. Both are now in the process of recuperating from tuberculosis. Larry contracted tuberculosis of the lung while a resident at the Hartford (Conn.) Hospital, and is now at the State Sanatorium in Norwich, Conn. Dick was a student at Harvard Medical School when he contracted his illness and is now a patient at the Trudeau Sanatorium. He hopes to return to Harvard in time to get his M.D. degree in 1952. Further news from Dick reveals that he was married June 19, 1948 in Pocono, Pa. to Doris Jean Macintosh, a Vassar alumna. As for Larry, his and Ranie's son, George, celebrated his first birthday January 19.

News from Fair Haven, N. J. reveals that Walt Daggatt is still N. J. sales manager for the Rubbertset Co. Son Peter is three and one-half and son Andy is 14 months.

Dr. Frank Dain continues as a resident in radiology at St. Luke's in New York City. Daughter Joann will be five this month, while daughter Susan Roberta is now two years old.

(Kirk received his LL.B. from the University of Michigan in 1948.) On the political side, Kirk was an active Republican as far back as 1944 when he was assistant research director in the New York headquarters for the GOP National Committee Staff. In both 1944 and 1948 he was associated with Sen. Taft's campaigns to obtain the Republican presidential nomination.

One of the latest '43 recipients of the doctor of philosophy degree is Jim Dinsmoor, who received his last year from Columbia. Jim is continuing at Ike's institution as a lecturer in the psychology department. On the family side, his and Anne's son, Daniel, celebrated his sixth birthday last December 3. On the political side Jim continues an active interest in the Socialist party, having recently served on the Libertarian Socialist League National Coordinating Committee.

Several items are on hand from the athletic world. From Boston we learn that JohnnyKoslowski had another top-notch hockey team at the Belmont Hill School. In fact the only team which seems to have beaten it is Stan Priddy's Harvard freshman sextet.

And baseball enthusiasts who have followed the pre-season developments are aware of the fact that Chuck Feeney has moved to the N. Y. Giant's front office. (At least two N. Y. newspapers, the Times and the Post, have referred to him as "Chubby" Feeney. The Post also called him "likeable, industrious junior vice president.")

Before closing, a word of thanks to all those who are keeping us supplied with news. Space limitations once again compel us to hold over a number of items, but we shall give them top priority next month.
