1943
As you come to the end of another perfect ALUMNI MAGAZINE, look who's here! There aren't many more pages left, you may say, so let's humor Stevens and read what he's come up with this time.
First of all, our one-a-day mailman has just left us two letters, one from Bob Barnum, the other from Jim Evans. Way back in June we chronicled the fact that Bob had formed a law partnership with Arthur R. Ivey and set up offices in Greenwich and Old Greenwich, Conn. Now, in less than a year, Ivey & Barnum have taken in a third attorney, Edwin J. O'Mara Jr.
What's more, Bob ran on the Democratic ticket last fall for the State Assembly, but unfortunately lost out in that den of Greenwich Republicans. He says he hopes to try again next year.
Since the campaign, he has been appointed prosecutor for Greenwich (a "town" of some 40,000 souls), the youngest prosecutor the state ever had. (It's a job, Bob writes, "which keeps me in court six days a week and is giving me some extremely valuable experience and notoriety, be it good or bad.")
Bob, Marion and their two sons are living on Miltiades Ave., Riverside. The only Dartmouth man he comes in contact with is Chuck Glines '44, who also works in Greenwich.
In January we reported that Jim Evans was now in Phoenix, Ariz., and his letter gives us the details. It seems that he and Ruth decided to move to a dry climate in the hope that it will help son Philip's asthma troubles. Jim, who formerly taught history at William Woods College for Women, Fulton, Mo., is now a cashier in the customer accounting department of Central Arizona Light and Power Co. (better known there as Calapco).
Jim says that Phoenix is now in a period of rapid growth and may soon become the vacation mecca for hardworking business executives in the West Coast states.
Although he is now an 8 to 5 businessman, Jim hasn't given up the idea of returning to the teaching profession. "It has a lot in its favor," he writes. "There is no question that by the fifth year of teaching it would have been a very nice thing since the basic lecture preparations would have been pretty well in shape." (What's this, Jim? Giving away trade secrets?)
Turning to matters matrimonial, it has come to our attention that one more '43 has proposed and four others have said, "I do." The engagement of Bud Clarke and Diana Enid Brandley of Caldwell, N. J., was announced in November. Bud's fiancee graduated from Wells College in 1949. He himself is still at St. Luke's Hospital, New York. Bud's first wife died in July, 1947, shortly after the birth of their son.
November 17 and 25 were the respective wedding dates for Forbes Delaney and JimHeenehan, both of whom were married in New Rochelle, N. Y. Forbes and Mary Straatsma were wed in North Avenue Presbyterian Church. Jim and Joan Smith were married in Holy Family Church. The Heenehans are living in Fleetwood, N. Y., following a wedding trip in the South.
November 24 was M-day for Bus Mosbacher, whose engagement to Patricia Ryan of New York was recorded in this column a while back. They were married in the Plaza Hotel and are now residing at 480 Park Ave.
That Time Inc. business executive, TomRedstone, was scheduled to be married February 3 in Christ Church, Bronxville, N. Y., to Jacqueline Nadine Brabant of Roslyn, N. Y. Tom's bride attended schools in Tientsin, North China.
A change of address notice says that Atty.Jim Malley's mail should be addressed to his old stamping ground, Indigo Hill Rd., Somersworth, N. H.
Sherwood Martin, one-time buyer for H. J. Heinz Co., Pittsburgh, is now a farm manager in Greensburg, Pa.
George Mason, who has been an executive of Dunham Bros., Brattleboro (Vt.) footwear distributors, ever since he got back from the Pacific wars in 1945, has been treasurer of that company since 1948.
We just can't keep up with Lt. Alan McBean. Last month we said he was back in the Army at Camp Gordon, Ga. Now we learn that he is with the AA & GM Branch, Fort Bliss, Texas.
John McCarthy is supervisor of taxes for the Pet Milk Co., St. Louis, a company he joined in 1947. Son John is now two and one half.
Mike McCormick, who joined the John Hancock Insurance Co. in his home town of Lawrence, Mass. in 1946 and moved to the Springfield office in 1947, is still in the latter spot. Son Peter is four years old and daughter Anna three.
Seward MacDonald has been a student at the University of Pennsylvania Dentistry School. He had attended a pre-dental course at Union when he got out of the Navy in 1945.
Another insurance man is Greg McKennis, who has been with Excelsior Insurance Co., Syracuse, N. Y., since December, 1949. Earlier he was with Chubb & Sons, insurance, in New York. Greg, who was with our class during the freshman year, graduated from Union in 1944. He and Dore have a daughter, Mary Katherine, born November 23, 1949.
Dave MacLane is still on the faculty at the Fenn School, Concord, Mass., which he joined in 1944. A son, David, was born to him and Marcia May 1, 1949.
Another one of the class' Harvard-trained lawyers and a former trial attorney for the War Department during the Nuremburg trials, Ray McMahon, is a partner in the Providence (R. I.) firm of McMahon & McMahon.
That former Phillips Exeter and Dartmouth first baseman, Tom McManus, is still selling Fords for Wayland (Mass.) Motors Inc. Tom Jr. was four years old in January and daughter Linda is one and one-half.
Bob Mara is an investment adviser for H. C. Wainwright & Co., Brookline, Mass., a firm he joined when the Marine Corps let him go in 1946. He also attended Boston University's Business School in 1946. He and Natalie have two children, Rubin Lee, age five, and Pamela Ann, age three.
The last we knew Whitey Meigs was still a representative of the industrial and real estate departments of the Boston & Maine Railroad. He, Marion and three-year-old daughter Susan live in West Acton, Mass.
Formerly a lecturer in English at Columbia, John Middendorf is now an English instructor at Morningside Heights. John got his M.A. from Columbia in 1947 and we assume has been busy working for his Ph.D. degree since then. He and Beverly have a daughter, Kathie Jean, age six.
John Milburn's mailing address is East Hampton, Conn., but he has been on active duty with the Navy since 1949 in charge of an island medical survey, we assume, in the Pacific. After leaving Dartmouth in 1941, John attended Colorado College and received his M.D. degree from Hahneman Medical College in March, 1946.
Don Miller has been a loan officer for the First National Bank of Boston since 1949. He joined the bank's staff in 1946. Daughter Janette is seven this month and daughter Barbara is one and one-half. The Miller family resides in Reading.
Another class lumberman is Bud Miskell, who is director and clerk of the Wood Lumber Co. in his home town, Falmouth, Mass. He and Betty have a son, David, born September 1, 1948.
Dick Morner, erstwhile Dartmouth chemistry instructor, is still with the Monsanto Chemical Co. in Dayton, with which he became associated when he was placed on the inactive list by the Navy in 1946. He and Sara have two daughters, Carolyn, age seven, and Patricia, age three.
Bill Moseley, one-time reporter and assistant to the publisher of the WashingtonTimes-Herald, has joined the Ford Motor Co., Somerville, Mass. (Paging Bill Mitchell '42!) We are hoping to get more details. He, Jean and their two children, Elisabeth, age three, and Bill Jr., age two, are living in Winchester.
Also in the insurance business is Tom"Winger" Munn, who has been assistant sales manager, Life Accident Group Insurance (a Travelers outfit) in New York since 1949. He, wife Ann, and daughter Sandra, age two, are living in Ridgefield, N. J.
And now, as we end these tidings, we have a request. It is our standing one for photographs. Remember Confucius' equation: a thousand words equals one picture or some such thing.
Thanks for seeing this column through. See you next month.
