1942
This has been a big postcard month so we can wind up the class notes 'til fall with a full quota of '42 news.
Don Williamson, president of Williamson Adhesives, Inc., Skokie, Ill., gets singled out for special mention this month along with Dick Higgins and Ev Woodworth (Mrs.H.C.). They not only wrote, they wrote letters yet! Let it be known that shipments doubled at Williamson Adhesives in the last three years and that their new plant in Skokie was opened last winter. Don, I thought you and Marion already had your hands full with the four kids and now look at you -you're getting to be a tycoon.
Bell and Howell's Dick Higgins reports seeing Army Stambaugh, a big marketing man from Gulf Oil in Pittsburgh, on a recent Philadelphia trip.
Hank Woodworth is one of several '42 medics who were called back into the service last year and he now is a navy two-striper riding a transport to and from Germany taking troops and dependents. Ev and the kids are in Milford, Conn., close enough to see the sailor between trips. Bob Wilson has the same duty on another ship. Dick Lawton expects the Navy to call him shortly.
Brace yourselves. Frank Bartlett's engaged! Mr. and Mrs. Howard Derry Ferguson of Gardner, Mass., announced the engagement of their daughter Patricia Edith to F. T. Bartlett, of D. F. Young, Inc., New York importexport firm.
Dr. John Hans Biel has been promoted to chief of the medicinal chemistry division of Lakeside Laboratories Inc. in Milwaukee. Luis Zalamea has been with the United Nations since 1948 and now is Liaison officer, Management and Circulation Division, Department of Public Information.
Ad Winship, Charlie Brown, Ralph Mornson, Sid Bull, Unc Richardson '41, and Ted Driscoll '43 had themselves a poker game recently. The Bulls have just moved from Lexington to Lynnfield, Mass. Ad also reports seeing Rit Godfrey, Bob Burdett, and EdHawkridge. Ralph Morrison is working with Construction Units, Inc., Rit Godfrey with Ford and Charlie Brown with Atlas Engineering
Ed Moody is still an editor with John Wiley, New York City, publishers of scientific text books for colleges. Harry and Lu Kramer are basking in the Florida sun (or should that be "baking"). Harry passed his exam to qualify for American Boards in Surgery and then left his practice to work for the Navy Medical Department attached to the Third Marine Air Wing in Miami.
Bureaucrat Art Cox reports from Washington, where he's lived since the war, that he is on the staff of C. D. Jackson, a special assistant to Ike for cold war operations. Joya and Art, after three sons, have their fingers crossed for number four.
The Dartmouth Club of Western New York elected Bill Hart president. The Buffalo, Niagara Chapter of the American Marketing Association has done the same. Bill is an account executive in the Buffalo office of the BBD&O ad agency.
Hank Davis is now holding forth in Atlanta as assistant sales manager Atlanta Division. Mechanical Rubber Goods Division of U.S. Rubber.
Bill Oppenheimer married Elma Dannenfelser last March. He is still with Archer Daniels Midland Co., but is now in the W. J. Small Co. Division in Neodesha, Kans.
Walt Haley is back in Boston with the Minneapolis Honeywell Regulator Co. after 15 months with the army (second hitch) in Baltimore.
Matt Beecher left his position as director of the personnel management bureau with the Commerce and Industry Association in N.Y.C. to become assistant division manager for personnel and manufacturing at the American Management Association in N.Y.C.
At long last we discover why "Sheriff" BillParmer and his wife missed the reunion last year, after playing key roles in the big fifth. Their third child and second boy was born last August. Bill has been teaching English and coaching basketball and baseball for the last seven years at Tenafly High in lenafly, N. J.
Special note to the small fry in Poughkeepsie: standby for bigger and better popsicles, frostbites and triple-dip cones. Bob Kirk has taken over as plant manager for General Ice Cream in Poughkeepsie. Attention girls, ready with your calorie charts.
Bob Williams (R.P.) has had a rough deal. Stricken by polio a year ago, he still is in the hospital. He has now graduated from the iron lung and gets to work three times a week in a wheel chair. With a grant from the U.S. Public Health Service Bob is working on disease study at the Baylor University Medical School in Houston, Tex. He and Betty have two boys, 4 and 21/2 years old. Bob Garwick is president of the Houston Alumni Group and Ben Page is another big wheel there.
Mel Figley, in his fifth year as a radiologist on the staff of the University Hospital and the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor, is a recent recipient of a Markle Scholarship for research in radiology. Peg and Mel had their second son last fall.
Another of the long unreported has succumbed to the attraction of our "free" post card. Big John Storrs checks in from Portland, Ore. where he is practicing architecture in his own office and living in a stable (remodeled, of course). John is also sporting one son and making noises like a representative of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. I'm told that Portland is even west of Kalamazoo.
The vice-president of the Maud Muller Candy Co. in Dayton, 0., turns out to be C R (Bob) Moore. He reports that Tom Wagner in Beaver Falls, Pa., is president of not one, but two companies, Standard Steel Specialties and Superior Drawn Steel.
I guess there's no telling where they'll turn up. Ted Dunn and Dan Seacord are working at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Dan, a staff member in the test division riding herd on new weapon developments, reports the addition of a second daughter. Ted is assistant personnel director.
Dick Wigginton reports from Weston, Mass., that he is working in Boston for the Standard Accident Insurance Cos. as manager of the Fire and Marine Department of the Planet Insurance Co. Now wait; before you get too confused let's explain that the Planet Insurance Co. is a subsidiary of the Standard Accident Insurance Co. Are you with me? Dick is the proud father of one boy and one girl.
It sure is good to hear from guys that we haven't heard a word about for years and years. Arnie Ueland. certainly qualifies on all counts. He has recently started his own business as a lumber commission salesman and wholesaler in North Mankato, Minn.
This month will see the wedding of GeorgeTobias and Lois Schoenberg in Omaha. HerbOsborne is on the ball trying to sell George a house. George also reports seeing CharlieHunt and Hugo Schnabel; the latter came up with his second son last winter.
That's all 'til fall But with all the extra time on your hands this summer, sit down and drop us a line so we can start in next fall with a real splash.
