1943

We trust that all of you celebrated the holidays in fine style and have made your resolutions to attend the Tenth Reunion in June. (Boy, did we work that plug in!)

We are saddened this month by the belated news of the death of Dick Martens, whose obituary appears in the back section of this issue. He was a popular member of our class and showed his interest in the College through his membership in the Dartmouth Club of Hartford. We wish to extend sympathy on behalf of the class to his wife, Gloria.

From Washington comes announcement of the awarding November 11 of a Bachelor of Law degree by George Washington University to Mel Fenichell. According to Mel, it is only a stone's throw from geology to a LL.B.

Jumping from the legal to the medical profession, we have news of two '43 doctors, ArtCohen and Elly Sweet. Now a major in the Army Medical Corps, Art is stationed at the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington and is commuting to and from Langley Park, Md. Elly is at the Children's Medical Center in Boston and residing in Newton.

A nice letter from Don Kingsley fills us in on his activities for the past several years. As reported in the November column, Don is public information manager for the Philadelphia pharmaceutical company, Sharpe and Dohme, after 18 months of editing two of that company's publications. In his present job he writes press releases and handles stockholder and customer relations and other projects of a public relations nature. Those who recall Don's blond hair may be interested to know that son Scott and daughter Christine have both inherited wife Sandy's red hair!

Also in the field of letters we have reports on Ed Bock and Tom Gerber. Back from all those postwar years in Europe, Ed is now a researcher and writer and is getting his mail at the family homestead in We.stwood, N. J. As for Tom, the Air Force has seen fit to dispense with his services and he is now back at his old stand, the United Press' Boston office on the 10th floor at 262 Washington St. He is making his home in Johnny Krol's old home town, Waltham. (Tom had been re- called by the Air Force early in 1951.)

Fragmentary news about Relly Ragman, however, has him back in the Service, presumably some post with Naval Aviation. His mail address is Box 30 Star Rt., Myrtle Grove, Fla.

A note from Fred Stockwell says that he and Marjorie were hosts to the John Koslowskis,Don Millers, Mike Thurstons and members of other Dartmouth classes and their wives prior to the Harvard game in October. The Stockwell's fourth child and third son, Craig Stewart, was born August 20.

Fred also reports that he spent a week in Miami in November at a real estate convention. "Fellows like Bill Maeck, Herb Gordon, and Chet Roche," Fred writes, "will think back fondly (?) of our Army Air Corps days in Miami Beach. I can tell them it's much better now."

Further news of John Koslowski reveals that he has accepted a position on the sales engineering staff of the Boston Filter Co. of Charlestown. For the past seven years Kos has been a teacher-coach at Belmont Hill School. Prior to that he taught and coached at his old alma mater, Governor Dummer Academy.

In the world of insurance we have items on Paul Falck and Tom Munn. Paul is an insurance underwriter for the Aetna Casualty & Surety Co. in his hometown of Hartford, Conn. Tom has been named assistant superintendent of agencies by United States Life. Previously he had been unit manager for the New York metropolitan area on Life Group and Accident and Health sales for the Travelers Insurance Co.

Those looking for a good vacation spot will be pleased to know that Hal Lindley is now the owner and manager of the "Four Chimneys Inn" in Nantucket. Cape Codders in particular, please note.

Still in Pittsburgh, Jim Olsen is now a salesman for the Whitaker Paper Co. Transferred from his Rhode Island territory, Jim Wells is unit manager for Procter & Gamble District Co. in East Greenbush, N. Y.

Burt Hooker is now an inspector for Raytheon Mfg. Co. in Waltham and is living in Boston. While vacationing in September in Danvers, Mass., his hometown, Rog Gaskill attended a reunion of the Danvers High Class of 1939, according to a clipping from the Danvers Herald that has been forwarded to us. Rog is still an automotive engineer for Chrysler Corp. in Detroit.

Two address changes of interest: JeremeyBlanchet, formerly a Rhodes Scholar at New College, Oxford, now at 131 Glen Rd., Wellesley Hills, Mass.; and Norton Grubb, formerly with Esso Standard Oil in Honduras, now at Briar Brae Rd., Stamford, Conn.

And our last item: Among the fall visitors to the Hanover Inn were Chuck Feeney and Bill Woythaler.

See you next month.
