From Fleet Home Town News Center, news release of August 7:

"During thirty-six years of Naval Service a medical officer sees varied duty, as Rear Admiral ArthurH. Deering USN can tell. In the course of his career, Admiral Deering has helped establish law and order in a foreign country and has served aboard ships ranging from submarines to battleships.

"Rear Admiral Deering retired last month, while serving as Inspector, Naval Medical Activities, Pacific Coast, with headquarters at 50 Fell St., San Francisco.

"Rear Admiral Deering assisted the Nicaraguan Republic in establishing law and order during a national election in 1927 while on duty with the Fifth Marine Regiment, then stationed in Managua, capital city of the Nicaraguan Republic. In appreciation of his services, the Government of Nicaragua bestowed upon the Admiral the Medal of Merit, with Silver Star and Diploma.

"He entered the Navy in April 1917, with the rank of lieutenant (jg), as assistant surgeon in the Naval Reserve Corps, but later the same year he was transferred to the regular Navy. Except for courses of instruction he served almost continuously until 1923 in transports, with short tours of duty at naval hospitals in Boston and Guam, then from '23 to '27, on the training ship Chewink, at the submarine base, New London, Conn., after which he joined the Marine Expeditionary Brigade at Nicaragua. Then various hospitals and hospital ships and naval hospitals, until war broke out in '42, when he proceeded to the South Pacific as Force Medical Officer on the staff of Commander South Pacific Area and South Pacific Force. Art was awarded the Legion of Merit while in this assignment, for planning and organizing construction of medical facilities and developing anti-malarial activities which were instrumental in saving the lives of many American fighting men. He also received a letter of commendation and Commendation Ribbon from the Commander in Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet, for organizing the Medical Department of the South Pacific Area during the Solomon Island Campaign in 1942.

"Subsequent to World War II he served successively as Medical Officer in command of Naval Hospital, Oakland, Calif., receiving a second Commendation Ribbon from the Secretary of the Navy for his outstanding services; as District Medical Officer, 3d Naval District, New York; Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery for Personnel and Professional Operations, Navy Department, Washington, D. C.; and reported in June 1951 to the assignment from which he retired."

Hugh MacKinnon writes, "Noticing your query in last February's ALUMNI MAGAZINE, concerning myself, I would tell you that I am on a Sabbatical from the University of Wyoming, and spending it at the University of California. It certainly seems queer to go to school again, though nice in a way, even at this advanced age. If one has forgotten the undergraduate viewpoint, one soon gets it again by becoming one. A valuable experience." Address: International House, Berkeley 4, Calif.

A copy of the June 18th Reporter-Dispatch, White Plains, N. Y., bears an interesting photo of Lize Wheelock in an unusual pose, leaning forward with a broad grin, holding a shovelful of dirt symbolic of the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Winslow Memorial wing to the Church in the Highlands Sunday School Building.

Dick Barlow, who always writes interesting letters, reports that in June the Central Jersey Dartmouth Club held the annual family lawn party in Trenton. Harry Haywood and his sister came over from New Brunswick and brought Ralph and Mrs. Jenkins with them. "It was good to see Ralph again because he had recently undergone a very tough operation. His recovery, however, was made all the more certain when he gave our own Dr. Haywood the job of bringing him back to health."

Son George '43 had just been sworn in as Assistant United States District Attorney for the State of New Jersey, and Dick '48 had just passed the New Jersey bar. Dick says that Mary Jane and Suzanne each have two children, a boy and a girl, and fortunately live Within ten miles of Trenton. George has two daughters, which must keep Dick busy with six grandchildren.

The good news that Ernie Kimball is coming along nicely is tempered by the bad news that Hal Castle passed away in April. Hal's loss will be keenly noted and the formal notice will be found in In Memoriam.

Remember start saving now Fortieth Reunion next June! Committees are working already and plans are being made. See you next June.
