1928
Do you remember Jim Richardson's advice to all his classes, repeated in interviews in The Dartmouth, to take an active part in politics? The '28er who has been most successful in that line is Lane Dwinell, recently elected speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives.
Lane is a businessman, not a politician, and according to the New Hampshire newspapers is conducting the 399-man House in the same efficient manner he has applied to make his business ventures highly successful. He is principal owner and general manager of Carter & Churchill Co., of Lebanon, manufacturers of Profile Ski Clothing and flannel shirts. In 1949 he was paid an extraordinary tribute for a first-year legislator by being appointed chairman of the important Ways and Means Committee.
The defense program is beginning to hit home in more ways than taxes and shortages. Two of our class have been called back into active service in the Army and Navy, and other reservists are wondering if they will be called too. Lt. Comdr. Bill Whaley received orders to report in ten days to Washington. He had built up a nice little insurance business in Chicago in the preceding two years, but had to pitch it to the wolves. He is back in Intelligence work, not for the Navy but for Air Force-Navy Air in the Navy Department building on Constitution Avenue. He says the merger of the services is working at long last.
Also back in uniform is Herb Beckett, who served in the Army 1943-46 and has since been a Ist lieutenant in the Army Transportation Corps Reserve and adjutant of a Railway Operation Battalion. At the moment he is attending the Adjutant General's School at Fort Lee, Va., and has asked for the addresses of Dave McCathie, Doc Crowley and BudMann. (We've temporarily lost track of Crowley, can anyone help us out? Last address was 49 Bailey St., Lynn, Mass.) Herb has worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad since 1942, and for the past four years has been a yardmaster. His home is 8036 Brookside Road, Breckville, Ohio.
Bob Reid finally came through with the information (after our quip in the January notes) that he and Viola Hansen were married a year ago in Tucson, Ariz., and on their honeymoon drove through Texas, Colorado, Montana and the Pacific Northwest. Bob writes,
"In October we drove Hast to take in my sales meeting. It was Vi's first time down East so she quite enjoyed our trip through New England although I had a hard time keeping her out of the antique shops. We enjoyed a nice quiet weekend at the Hanover Inn. As we strolled around the campus I was ashamed the way I enlarged on the story in telling her of my undergraduate exploits. Somehow the ski jump, the hills and the pond seem smaller to me now, so I had to build up the stories. On our way back late in November we were stuck two days in the snowdrifts in Ohio so now she has some idea of a Hanover winter. I am still traveling the 12 Western states for American Pad & Paper Co. and Vi travels with me. In between trips we get a lot of fun out of our small but growing herd of chinchillas at my brother's ranch in California. I am still in the active reserves Armored Cavalry —and at every meeting we say goodbye to some of the unit. I never know when I might be called, but somehow it seems that I have age on my side."
Norm Nash and Mrs. W. 11. Jenkins were married December 22 in New York at the Little Church Around the Corner. Mr. Ben Nash, Norm's father, was best man. Mrs. Nash, who was the widow of William H. Jenkins, is a graduate of Swarthmore College, and is with the Kudner Agency. Norm was a lieutenant commander in the Naval Reserve during World War II and is now a vice president of Kudner Agency. He has two sons by his first marriage, one of whom, Donald, served in the Seabees 1944-45 and the only son of a '28er to have been in the armed services so far.

Dana Condon's daughter Joan is a freshman at Dickinson College and recently sent her parents in Havana a picture of the foreign students of the college. Dana says,
"While I was born in Manchester, N. H., and her mother in Lowell, Mass., darned if she didn't appear smack in the middle of the group of 'foreigners'. I suppose because she was born in Costa Rica, now resides in Cuba and has never lived in the United States, they look at her as a bit of a border-line case. While in Manchester last September, I attended a very fine party at Roger Sundeen j home. Harold Low '27 and wife Lucy, spent a weekend in January with us in Havana and we enjoyed rehashing old days in Hanover and even when we were in high school together before that time.
