This issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE comes to you free, no strings. Now to the dollar news. Our class has set annual dues which will cover a year's subscription to this MAGAZINE at $4.00. Our worthy Treasurer has done some very elaborate research to establish this nominal, fair amount. Bob Kimball has also been active in gathering some facts to launch us into a program to produce a twenty-five year gift to the College. Bob says Bill Schulting sent along some very helpful suggestions to aid in the formation of a plan. Any ideas along these lines would be welcomed by Bob. Don't sit and sulk, send and shout!
$4-oo is not much in these "balloon bucks" days and believe me, you get real tangible value for the dues. Be sure to deduct it from your income tax. Send your check to Bob Kimball, address above.
The General Foods salesmen should be more efficient and productive in the days to come, because your old friend Aud Brindley is now one of the important sales mentors. Aud's had some fine experience with this firm, and now he is imparting it to the new men. I can hear him now, "Look, team, when the whistle blows I want you to go into that A 8c P fighting and get those rebounds." The U.S. Navy Net and Fuel Base at Melville, R. I., has just re-ensnared Charlie Rear don into the service.
With all the adverse criticism these days heaped on the State Department, it is nice to find one of our number with the sound, sensible approach handling a big job in Indochina at Hanoi. Yes, Dave Whipple is an Assistant Consul there and what a hop spot he's in. His brother Scotty '49 tells me that there are stray bullets at various intervals and a tepid tension in the air at all times. Dave had the interesting assignment of working with the colorful French commander, General Lattre de Tassigny, as his aide de camp for a few weeks. This, I am sure, will make interesting conversation when we see Consul Whipple around December 1, 1952, when Dave completes his two-year assignment.
Guy Van Sycle is serving as Medical Officer aboard the USS Brinkley Bass, a Navy destroyer, in Korean waters. Bob Leslie and his wife Betty with their young daughter Judy have just bought a new house on Weaver Street in Scarsdale, N._Y. New Jersey '46ers keep an eye out for Dave Weld. The Lawrence McCoy lumber organization has just sent him your way. He and Jean have moved into an apartment in Montclair after ten months in Stamford, Conn.
We read with great regret of the death of George Bronson, who died of Hodgkins disease on May 4 in Toledo, O.
Craig Fleming has left the Boston Herald to become Sports Editor of the Cape Cod Standard Times. That sounds like the most terrific set-up a man could ever want. Why, Craig's got the whole Cape at his back. Nicely done, if you need an assistant, write the writer. Lieutenant Arch Gernert, serving with the Atlantic Fleet, will be married to Judith Hunter of Westfield, N. J., this coming spring. HarveyMandell will be married to Marjorie Kramer, Rehoboth, Mass. Red is interning at Rhode Island Hospital. Bob Sanderson is engaged to Priscilla Penney of Buffalo. Bob is with the Lake Erie Engineering Company in that city.
The lucky Hanover Inn returnees this issue were Dale and Mrs. VanOtteren and Mr. andMrs. H. De Vries. Lois Denton, of Newark, N. J. is engaged to Alike Marzano. Mike is a New Jersey lawyer with offices in Newark and Kearny. Bernice Harris of Cincinnati, 0., is engaged to Ed Blatt. On November 17 in Wilmington, Del., as the clock swings up from 4:30, your former column coordinator PhilStedfast will take as his bride Dorothy Manss, a June graduate of the University of North Carolina.
Underneath our little Indian friend with his newly wedded, we find a few of the recent marriages. Ray Berry was married to Priscilla Deane in September, up Boston way. Beta Gene Bokor was married to Gail Shepard on September 9 in Ridgfield, Conn. Gail is a '51 graduate of Finch Junior College. Gene's with the Cantor-Greenspen Textile Company in New York.

After a trip to Bermuda, Nancy and Bob set up house keeping in Fredericksburg, Va. On the same day in the Little Church Around the Corner in New York, Doc Savage and Elizabeth Bauer were married. Doc is with the International Business Machines Corporation in New York. Wil-bur Bull's sister Miriam of Waterford, Me., was married some time in October to JohnFairbanks. John did his graduate work at the Boston University School of Law, and was admitted to the New Hampshire Bar in 1950. He is presently practising law with Kenneth Andler in Newport, and is president of Fairbanks Garage, Inc., Newport.
Business takes me to Ohio this month, perhaps I can dig up some of the spot news from this "Great Green Grooming State."
WITH HIS BRIDE-TO-BE, the former Nancy Kane, Bob Sandoe '46 enjoys their engagement party. Present at the wedding, which took place Septem- ber 29, were the groom's brother, Nick Sandoe Jr. '45, best man, and his father Nichol Sandoe 'l9.
