1939

Thanks to the ladies, God bless 'em, we got a letter this month. Joan Schrage came through with a note from Kansas City, reporting that husband Jack is a wheel in the Dartmouth Club of K.C. this year and that they ran into Paul O'Brien at a picnic this spring. Paul operates an optical shop in Kansas City.

Thanks to Jim Garnett we got the dope on the '39 gang that attended the Dartmouth Chicago picnic this summer. Tom Vent is practicing law in Chicago and has tentative plans for moving out to Suburbia in the near future. Bob Sullivan was there, still living at Dartmouth Place in Evanston, and selling steel in Chicago. Roy Demmon reported moving in closer to the city from Mundelein. BillBuge was expected but couldn't make it. BobHarlan, another resident of Chicago, is in business over on the South Side. Jim himself is kept busy with three department stores and three children. Living now in Glencoe, Jim extends his hospitality to any member of the class coming through Chicago.

Stan Brown says he has no news and never sees anyone, but I found his note to the contrary so here it is,

"I am still practicing law here at the same old stand, and see few classmates so any news from me always sounds the same. I was one of the 14 New Hampshire GOP delegates first in the nation for Ike if that is news, and after the convention took a Cook's tour of the West, but saw no Dartmouth men in my travels.

"Earl Dearborn is now mortgage officer for the Manchester Savings Bank, living in Chester, N. H. Bob Wehmeyer is living in Goffstown and has been director of the local Y, but I think I read he had gone into something else. Gus Zitrides is now in Cleveland working for Uncle Sam moved his family out in July. Fred Upton is practicing law in Concord. Peyser is over on the coast, and I see him once in a while. Pep Gray is still on the Canadian border and comes home about twice a year.

"just tell the boys that if they have any big money lawsuits in New Hampshire to drop me a line, and if anyone is driving through, they are welcome to come around and lie about how well they are doing."

While most of us are worrying about ownin, one house, Phil Sanborn, having moved four times in the past six years, has managed to hang onto all four houses by what he describes as "spectacular mortgaging transactions." Phil, if you say they were spectacular we'll believe you, and now any member of the class needing a roof over his head knows where to go. I guess I don't need to add that Phil is in the real estate business; the location is Cranston, R. I. Phil reports that CornieMiller is over in Essex, Conn., where he is with some publishing company, and has seen Lin and Betty Thompson and their three boys in East Bridgewater, Mass.

Wedding bells rang on July 12 for Joe Shaw in Windsor, Conn. The bride was the former Miss Donna Rae Hornsby of Windsor, a graduate of Chaffee School and Skidmore. Joe, who was a captain in the Army during the War, is now with J. R. Wood & Sons and plans to live in Dallas. Our congratulations and best wishes.

Bob Loughry was promoted this summer by the Air Force to the rank of Colonel and is currently assigned within the Directorate o" Operations Hq. USAF at the Pentagon. Bombardment operations and in particular the development and integration of the six-jet B-47 bombers into our Strategic Air Command Forces is Bob's particular assignment. The Loughrys have two children, Jan, g, and Jimmy, 7, and live in Arlington, Va.

Bob Kalaidjian is Director of Personnel Relations for the Columbia Broadcasting System in New York, responsible for the administration of radio and television personnel in New York and at Columbia-owned stations. When not at work Bob can be found in a new home in Massapequa, L. 1., with his wife and two children, a 19-months-old girl and a 5-year- old boy.

Walt Darby took the opportunity of a dreary Monday morning to drop the secretary a note in reply to our request for a newsgram. Maybe it is a good cure for a blue Monday morning. Walt is practicing Admiralty Law with the New York firm of Haight, Deming, Gardner, Poor & Havens and very much in Dartmouth affairs in the big city, the Dartmouth Club of L. I., Dartmouth Lawyers and interviewing of applicants for the freshman class. Has seen Sid Curtis, who recently has gone into the photography business on Long Island, specializing in the school trade and doing some beautiful work. Dick Schumacher has a new home in Garden City.

Last week while in New York I learned that I had just missed a big '39 Cocktail Party at the Club the previous Friday. Must have been a good one judging by the feelings of some classmates on the following Monday. Among those present: Walt Darby, Jack Vincens, DickMarton, Bill Mason, Bill Risley, Bert MacMannis, Jack Coulson, Bill Carter, CharleyDavis, Walt McGee, Roge Harrison, DickJackson, Paul Winship and Don Wheaton. Reunion enthusiasm is certainly at a high pitch already with the New York gang and if this is any guide every member o£ the class will be in Hanover next June 19, 20 and 21. It's not too early to keep those dates open for the Big Fifteenth. Details on the reunion committee will be ready soon and you'll have the chance to vote on the kind of program you want.
