1946
Jack Novascone aids West Coast sleepers selling for the Simmons Co. in California. Marshmallow adapter near Bump Hadleyl Bruce Durkee, successful young enterpriser of Mower and Durkee's "Marshmallow Fluff," and wife Pat have built a charming little home in Swampscott, Mass. They are neighbors of the Boston sports "winder."
1946 column plans call for international representation. During the coming five years, it is hoped that we can establish a group of "area reporters" to better gather the news. Anyone interested in writing a penny postal once a month from the far corners of the United States and/or overseas, please address this writer. Example, maybe Lou Witzeman in Phoenix, Ariz, would be willing to help out on news in his locale. Details will call for me to send letters containing return post cards each month to each writer.
Rear don Running Rum! Some guys have all the strokes. Chuck's ad agency had him "two weeking" the Caribbean getting rum production facts while building client relations. Hal and Gloria Bowman with daughter Linda in from Caracas, Venezuela, for their two months' hiatus. Picture the red head with a big Buick, a month in California, 10,000 mile scenic tour of the United States, and balance of time in Massachusetts. As the gang plank of Grace Line's Santa Monica came down, we were still toasting their return with champagne. Hal returns to be managerial consultant to Gulf installations in Venezuela. Job calls for much travel by air. Life in "V" agrees with the "B's." 46'ers spied from Manhattan bus. Zeus Morse seen through the window on 46th Street looking prosperous with order-packed brief. And the "after five group" included Nort Virgien a time rep for ABC. Nort's engaged to Blanche Caulfield of Paterson, N. J. She's with an ad agency there. You know these boys who make the calls on the agencies certainly do just fine with the ladies. Tanned and sartorially perfect Spence Smith was seen pouring down Park Avenue. Did not get chance to flag him down for details. Weyerhauser Lumber had him in New York on business no doubt. Did Ed Linsley buy that yacht at the Boat Show last winter? Ed had that determined look of a man about to invest in the great money-separater, boating. D. Scharrer claims foul. When Gus Gillaugh landed the all expense business trip to the East which came reunion week end, he went to see Dick and made him bleed a little envy. Gus says Dick's still irritated by such coincidental luck, but you all know Gus's Gambler's fortune.
The humid capital is currently claiming three of our number. Dave Whipple with State Department, Growler Whitman selling the hotels their every need and Jack Sayres insulating the city with Fiberglas. Jack is soon to return to New York City. "Five Percent," anyone? Stockholders of Lux Clock Mfg. Co. should be due for dividends. PaulLux has just become Sales Manager and profits look promising. Kudos for Bill Andre receiving Harvard's Master of Business Administration, Gene Bossi becoming an M.D., and for lawyers: Bill Graulty, Larry Ratzel,Ralph Smith and Don Smith. We hear ClarkJudge is piling up dollars in his Mansfield, Pa., barn selling farm machinery. Magazine readers this summer probably saw B. PopeMarion's wife gracing the July Herbert Tarryton ad. Marsh Clark '44 informs me that Lt.jg. Don McAllister is with the Staff Amphibious Flag out of San Diego, Calif. Bill Baldwin is now working for Arthur Anderson Co., Boston accountants.
Last May in Boston the corner of Dartmouth and Newbury Streets was dedicated as "Louis Canner Epstein Square." Louis was killed during the Battle of the Bulge Decernber 14, 1944.
Every once in a while we get the old faith restored. Bobby Grant, who has been fighting multiple sclerosis at Cushing Hospital in Framingham, Mass., for three years, recently had an original composition played by Arthur Fiedler conducing the Boston Pops Orchestra. The work is known as Evening Prayer. Nice work, Bob. Warren Kealey and Bill Morehouse just passed the Connecticut State Bar Exam. George Carroll is a promising attorney in Senator McMahon's office. John Kennedy is alumni editor of Cornell Law Forum. BillAugello is at Fordham Law School. He is a new dad of a baby boy. Dick Howe has just been promoted to District Geologist in northwest Colorado for the General Petroleum Corporation. Amherst College might have had their greatest line this fall but the USMC recalled Art Young. The genial, enthusiastic head line coach was just getting his boys worked up for a top season. Art joins WalterSnickenberger, Jud Hannigan and Jim Pulliam at Quantico.
I'll be looking for you at the Big Green Games.
