1943
Have you seen Doc Fielding's wife? Now we realize that this is a man's magazine, but it isn't every Dartmouth alumnus who has a wife on television. Not being a TV set owner ourselves, we have had to rely on the TV columnist of the local newspaper for the following information: According to him, Mrs. Fielding is known professionally as Sue Bennett. She has appeared on the Paul Winchell-Jerry Mahoney program. She also sings the commercials on the Hit Parade and understudies the show's Dorothy Collins and Eileen Wilson. Doc's wife also appears on the Robert Montgomery show, John Conte's program and a Sunday night special, This Is Show Business.
(TV set owners in the class may wish to clip out and paste the above on the front of their receiver for handy reference.)
As for Doc himself, he is still practicing his profession at Harlem Hospital, New York.
Three more '43ers have been recalled to active duty by the armed services. Bob Fuiks left the business staff of the N. Y. Daily News January 1 to return to the Navy. Alfred Newton is once again wearing lieutenant's bars in the Army and Robert Scott is back in the Navy's Air Corps with a San Francisco Fleet Post Office address. We also have additional information on the last two.
A Class of 1950 graduate of Michigan State College, Alfred migrated to the West Coast during the summer and was a mechanical engineer for the Interstate Tractor & Equipment Co., Eugene, Ore., before he returned to the service. He was married August 1, 1945, in Milwaukee to Mildred Uzelatz and has a daughter Ann Lynn, who will be five years old next month.
After being placed on the Navy's inactive list in 1945, Scottie picked up an A.B. degree at Earlham in 1947 and later worked in the auditing department of the Campbell Soup Cos., Moorestown, N. J. He returned to college in 1948 and received an A.M. from Pennsylvania in 1949- Before his recall, Scottie was working for his doctorate at Penn. He is married and has two children, Chandler, age four, and Charles, age two.
While on the subject of classmates returning to the armed services, we erred last month in our item on Harry Gustafson. Gus had intended to return to Navy duty, but couldn't find a ship with a vacancy. He and the Admirals hope to get together, however, at" a later date.
(Another erratum apparently slipped into April's column. A newspaper clipping on Fred Lojgren's new position with the Telephone Co. said he was now manager of the Littleton, Mass., office. The alumni Records office has since informed us that it is Ray Colby's and Bob Varney's hometown, Littleton, N. H.)
Two '43ers are on the matrimonial list this month. Bud Clarke, whose engagement to Diana Bradley of Caldwell, N. J., was reported in March, was married March 9 in St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Essex Falls, N. J.
We're not sure if Relly Raff man married the teacher, but he and Rita LaPlante, an Indiana University faculty member, were wed February 14 in Bloomington, where the bridegroom is studying for his doctorate in music. Actually Relly's bride is a transplanted Bay Stater from Salem. A graduate of the New England Conservatory, she has been a concert pianist with the Luxemburg Symphony, the Boston Symphony, and the Boston Pops Orchestra.

A Penn Medical School graduate, Bill has been an intern at the hospital connected with Mr. Stassen's institution. In Tulare, Calif., George is a member of a group practice known as Marthias and Zink.
