1942
This is one month when I can't complain about the lack of news. This happy circumstance is largely due to our recently instituted return post cards, but, in addition, some kindly souls heeded my fervent pleas and came through with letters. I really hate to give out all of this rich windfall of '42 info at one time. Wish I could hold some of it for the leaner days.
Captain Jim Froude is flying U.S. Air Force fighters in Korea and wife Ruth is holding the fort with Thomas Andrew, 8, Jeffrey William, 6, and Patricia, 4, in Ridgewood, N. J. Fred Nichols reports the birth of their fourth child and fourth daughter, Cheryl, born September 11 last. Herb Morrison practicing in Waban, Mass., made the delivery. The Morrisons had a son themselves recently. Is that the first boy, Herb?
While we are on the subject, let's see if we can get all the stork news together. Here's one of particular interest to all those who were at the big 10th in Hanover last year. Lois and Jim O'Mara have announced the arrival of their third son Marc. So everything came out all right.
The Bob Wheldens had a son, Richard Winslow, born November 9, weighing 7 lbs. and 5 oz. Is that the first one, Tiny?
Lt. Col. Hans Huessy of the U.S. Public Health Service passed his specialty boards in psychiatry and was presented by Mrs. H. with their second son and fifth child October 17, 1952. The Colonel saw Art French '40 in Salt Lake City and entertained Ronald Losee '41 and wife.
Phil Locke's first son was born Frank Brainard October 15. Phil completed the University of Connecticut Law School in June 1951, and has just recently jousted with the Connecticut Bar Exams. He is still chief inspector of the Underwood Corp. in Hartford.
Bud Dutton reminds us that Christopher Bardsley, born April 1951, has not had his name in the ALUMNI MACAZINE. Bud is participating with Dave List, Gibb Clark and BillStegner on the Alumni Interviewing Committee in Chicago. Wilmer last fall in Hanover saw Jim Thompson, who was leaving for a year of teaching and study in England, DaveSills, doing research at Columbia, and HarryBond of our grand old English Dept. at Dartmouth.
Bob Gale at long last has brought us up to date on his activities. His second son was born May 27, 1952, one day after he passed his exam for his PH.D. in American Literature at Columbia University. In September Maureen and Bob packed the two boys and left Newark, Del., where he had been teaching English at the University of Delaware for three years, and moved to Oxford, Miss. There the good doctor is teaching English and American literature at the University of Mississippi.
Art Carpenter is a designer for Espenet Fine Woods, a furniture and woodware manufacturer in San Francisco. About a year ago Art and Joan came up with their first offspring, Victoria.
Bob Wilson (R.P.) gave us some sketchy stork information when he reported his visit to Wausau, Wis. He says that he saw the Ronnie Westgates and the Dunbar Schuetzs, each family with three children. Bob's two boys are three and eight months (that "three" refers to years doesn't it, Bob??).
Joe and Mary Nason were just settled in their new house with their two children when Dick and Peggy Rugen dropped in to get some advice on the pitfalls of home building. Joe reports seeing Jim Crotty operating in Worcester and that Gus Newell should be back from the Navy and in the insurance business again in Westboro, Mass., by this time.
Roy Carruthers writes that he is now located with Stewart-Dougall and Associates, a New York firm of management consultants. Roy turned up another bachelor for our records, Jim Foster, holding forth in Greenwich Village.
The University of Michigan boasts at least two distinguished members on its faculty, BobBlood in the sociology department and StanWyatt, an astronomy professor, who regularly demonstrates his wares on an educational television show. Bob met Stan recently at a party given in honor of the new dean of men, Charles '32.
Hank and Kiki Davis have moved from Buffalo to Atlanta with their two sons and a daughter. All done in the line of duty for U.S. Rubber.
Bill Housel, widely known lover, still gets around like way back when. Bill spent a night in Winnetka with the Jim Ingersolls and their four children in their new home. Jim is now vice-president of the Ingersoll Division of Borg Warner. The Princeton game last fall saw Bill spotting the Chuck Drennans and the Jack Tobins amid the slaughter of the Green.
Gordie McKernan is coaching and teaching math at Brockton, Mass., and has looked in vain for '42s in the area. Just like a good coach, always with one eye on the crowd. The squire of Burlington, Bob Searles, reports the greatest excitement he has is running into Proc Page from time to time. Come on boys, what kind of a place is that?
Attention all '42s! Here is a real call to arms. Cliff Roberts is peddling corn out in Louisville now for Cargill, Inc. His sales to the numerous distillers will be in direct proportion to the amount of bourbon they can sell. Need I say more?
John Wester has returned from Korea where he spent a couple of months as a civilian visitor with the U.S.A.F. What kind of a mystery deal was that, John?
Bell and Howell's pride and joy, Dick Higghis, is branching out from his micro-film specialty to take in a manufacturing division indoctrination complete with nuts and bolts and oily elbows.
Mary and Bob Kirk have finally cast some light on the whereabouts of Huntley Allison's long lost 8 iron, missing since the reunion in June. The big question is, "Did the club reach Huntley in Lawrence, L. 1., where it was sent, before he moved to Springfield, Mass?" .
Bate Ewart, president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer of the Dartmouth Club in Tripoli has settled down to his. two-year stint as air attache. He is trying to reach Bob Headley for a little long distance tutoring in Arabic.
Now for a few choice Oyster Bay societynotes: Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Lewis of Oyster Bay, N. Y., have announced the engagement of their daughter Dorothy Mae to A Ivan S.Hutchinson Jr. Glen Cove legal eagle.
Margaret H. Pratt of Oyster Bay recently wed Dr. Richard, H. Cardozo of New York. Dr. Dick is an assistant resident surgeon at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston.
Mary and Carroll Woods with their yearold son, Stephen have moved to Paris where Carroll is connected with the U.S. Consular Service. Since their last post was in Moscow it looks as though things are looking up. They expect to be in Paris for over two years.
A word of thanks to all who have written in to give us bits of '42 news. I still plan to answer all the mail, though I'm badly bogged down at this time! However, let's have it understood that letters get answered with letters and cards and notes get the same in return, if I have your address. Keep the dope coming in and how about throwing in a picture 01 two?
Secretary, 1369 Stanley Blvd. Birmingham, Mich. Treasurer, 5 Barry Rd., Scarsdale, N. Y.
