1932
Today is often referred to as the AtomicAge. It might also be labeled the Era of theZipper. The importance of this little devicein our every day life needs no reiteration. Inharmony with the significant role which itplays today was the announcement very recently made by the president of Talon, Inc.,the principal manufacturer of this mechanism,that Ray ISarllett had become the company'sgeneral sales manager. Ray has assumed hispost, with offices in New York City. He willdirect all phases of Talon's merchandising,including selling, styling, advertising, marketing research and related functions. From 1935until 1949, Ray was with Botany Mills, Inc.,as head of the women's apparel division. Forthe past three years, he has been responsiblefor merchandising, styling and sales to thewomen's wear market for Burlington Mills Cornoration of New York.
Johnnie Wolff recently informed me that in early September he received a check from Ray Bartlett for $1,132, representing the surplus from our 20th reunion. All who attendedthe reunion thoroughly agree, I'm sure, withJohnnie's statement that "I don't know howwe could have so much left over after such agrand weekend."
Those of you who read Newsweek or are members of the National Wholesale Druggists Association know of the fine work being done by the chairman of our Class of 1932's 25th reunion memorial gift to the College, CharlieDoerr. As many of you may know, Charlie's regular official title in the business world is that of vice-president of the wholesale drug firm of McKesson & Robbins. During the current year, he is on leave of absence to serve as president of the National Wholesale Druggists Association. Charlie, in collaboration with Charles T. Lipscomb Jr., president of.the Pepsodent division of Lever Brothers, and the TV and radio writers of several adveilising agencies, got together to provide a highly palatable and effective way of submitting information or statistics to the drug industry, both wholesale and retail. This effort was directed at staving off further inroads by supermarkets into the public market being served by the corner drugstore. In place of speeches at the wholesalers convention at Atlanuc City, and the retailers convention later at Kansas City, Charlie and his group put their ideas over through the use of little stage dramas, well supplied with professional actors, pretty girls, and lively music.
We are indeed fortunate to have CharlieDoerr as chairman of our class's 25th reunion memorial gift committee. His effectiveness in this capacity was witnessed by those who attended the class dinner at the Inn in June and also by the informal announcement made just before our June reunion broke up that something in the neighborhood of $20,000 had already been pledged or committed by various members of the Class. Undoubtedly Charlie will employ some of the ideas, drama and originality which he has used so effectively in the drug industry.
Our unofficial diplomatic representative to the countries south of the border, without portfolio, but with a catalog of high quality farm implements and dairy equipment, none other than Whip Walser, writes under date of October 21, from British Guiana:
"I spent last weekend with Andre Stollmeyer in Trinidad and I thought I would drop you a line telling you about him.
"Andre hasn't been seen by many of our classmates - he saw John Clark some years back and I see him every so often the last time was four years ago. He is still with a large firm in Trinidad in charge of their construction and building materials section.
"He has four lovely children two boys and two girls. The oldest boy, Michael, is now 14 and I saw him kick a soccer ball in a way that would really make old Tom Dent envious. When I asked Andre whether he thought Michael could make the Dartmouth team —as of now his remark was, 'Yes, he is as good now as any other candidate.' Imagine what he will be in four more years!
"The younger son, Rex, spends a lot of time fishing with Andre, who has a good size motor launch fishing is his hobby.
"Andre's wife, Tecla, is an American girl and likes the life in Trinidad. Her last visit to the States was in 1945. They have two lovely daughters - a very nice family."
Whip states that he gave Andre, who livesat 1 Jerringham Place, Port-au-Prince, Trinidad, B.W.I., the low-down on reunion. Whipsaid that he had been in Cuba and was goingon to Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile andthen home, some time just before Christmas.
Whip also passed along some current newsabout Dick Cleaves and his wife, Margo. who,with their four children passed through Chicago recently four their way back to New York.Dick and his family have been in Vancouver,Canada, for the past year, or since their returnfrom Japan. Dick plans to remain in NewYork now, more or less permanently. He andhis family are currently living in Rutherford, N. J.
I recently received a brief letter from MaxWolff. Although a resident of New York City, he wrote from The Sheraton Plaza Hotel in Daytona Beach, Fla. Max has asked me to make a brief announcement that his engagement to Alice Stimson Trezise, of Rye, N. Y., has been terminated.
It was sorrowful news to hear of Dave Castleman's death in Hawaii on October 8. I
have talked to and received letters from several of our Class, who have commented upon how well Dave looked and how happy they were, and we all were, to see him and Evelyn at reunion. Dave and Evelyn, of course, in attending reunion, had traveled virtually twice as far as any other member of our Class. A brief summary of the salient features of Dave's life are set forth in the In Memoriam section of the MAGAZINE. Bob Riddle, in person, and Roger Benzet, by letter, assisted me in the preparation of this statement.
Roger Benzet is an architect, with offices at 1507 Kapiloni Boulevard, Honolulu, Hawaii. Bob Riddle has been working in Chicago for several years as a manufacturers' representative. He and his wife, Betty, live in Evanston, Ill.
The Cape Cod Standard-Times carried a picture of, and an article about nine-year-old Charles "Stormy" Mayo 3d, son of CaptainCharley Mayo Jr., of the Chantey 11, Provincetown. The 7-foot, 7½ inches long Mako shark was caught by little Stormy, 4 feet, 7 inches tall, with a rod and reel while fishing from his dad's boat, off Race Point, this summer. It was a very startling and impressive picture of an equally startling and impressive catch for such a diminutive but courageous fisherman.
