1946
Breathed a bit of Hanover's rarest and finest air this past weekend and found '46 represented for the Navy game. Saw TomMontgomery rolling down past the tennis courts with his wife and an endless camouflage of blankets over his famous glassed-in liquid heat. Jack Whitman ran into Charlie Whitmore in the stadium for a little of "remember those Middle Mass. miseries under Chief Pappy." The "William Paley of the North Woods," Nort Virgien, drove up from his radio station WFEA in Manchester, N. H. Nort's found the real answer to an interesting business and easy access to Dartmouth and the pleasures of the North Country. And over at the Psi U house who should appear in a Duo-Fold union suit, cut to Bermuda short length for the season, but old Surly Jack Underbill. Surly was in great shape, looked prosperous and maybe a pound or two heavier than his swimming season days. Sue, tan and looking well, was with him. Jack has a real number for the ski set this year, striped DuoFold union suits with the "snap-open" flapper. Louise and Bob Keene '30 again were the understanding hosts for '46 and their friends. Jean and Jack Whitman handled the welcoming duties from midnight to dawn. Jean played after-dinner music Saturday PM. You haven't lived till you've heard the "Growlers" do their version of a "A Wandering."
Harvey Mandell just announced the opening of his new offices in Norwich, Conn., and the affixing of his shingle - Dr. Mandell, Specialist in Internal Medicine and Cardiology. Harvey grew up in Norwich and he returns to the old home town to render a fine service. He took his final two years of medicine, after Dartmouth, at College of Physicians and Surgery, Columbia University, and interned at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence. Then he was assistant resident in internal medicine at St. Louis City Hospital. Hary was married to the former Marjorie Kramer in September 1951. They have one little boy named Ross. Good luck Harvey.
First it's Dave Whipple to Indo China in the diplomatic service, then comes the news that Bob Wenzel is U. S. Vice Consul in Saigon and Vietnam. '46's sure make a get-together the hard way. Bob was with GE, after Tuck, up in Schenectady and later at Lynn, Mass., as supervisor of accounts. His co-workers gave him a send-off party at the Thomson Club in Nahant. Congratulations, Bob. Rev.Paul Barnes is the minister of the South Braintree Congregational Church. Paul studied for the ministry at McCormick Seminary in Chicago and at Yale.
That genial art director, Doug Leigh of the Cadillac car advertising agency (McManus John and Adams), married Nance Wheelright of Riverside, Conn. Wonderful news, Doug. Chip Coleman, Asbury Park's gift to the basketball court and of late to the practice of law, is engaged to Dolores Kassak of the same city. Dolores is a graduate nurse and is a member of the Union Board of Education. Gail Zack and Stan Maier were engaged this summer. Gail is from Kew Gardens, N. Y. Stan is a mens wear buyer for a Fort Wayne department store.
The tragic news that Les Allen was killed in October of 1952 in an auto accident just reached me from his brother-in-law Edward Fleer. Then this past August, his widow, Paula Fleer Allen, died of cancer in Franklin Hospital in San Francisco, Calif. She was buried alongside Les in Glens Falls, N. Y. Their two sons, Paul and Eric, will be brought up by Ed Fleer and his wife.
Bob Kimball has in the mails those dues and newssheets. Get your $4 off to him, pay him a $1 a month if need be, but let's get a little participation.
Jim Hartman was engaged to Connie Mindlin this summer. Connie attended NYU and is now with the Damon Runyon Memorial Fund. Jim's up in Providence in business. One of '46's old piano players, John Condit, was married in August to Eva Vietorisz. Eva graduated from Sacre Coeur in Graz, Austria. John studied at the Univ. of Munich after Dartmouth and got a Master's from Columbia. He was assistant director of admissions at Dartmouth and in 1953 joined the faculty at the Univ. of Pittsburgh. In Hartford, Conn., Kathryn Lynch and Dick Fitzgerald were married this summer. Kathryn is a graduate of Annhurst College and teaches at Noah Webster School. Dick is with Price Waterhouse. In September Sally Kleindienst and RalphFifield, both from Holyoke, Mass., were married and followed with a 350-guest reception at the Roger Smith. Sally went to Colby Junior College and did graduate work at B.U. She is a registered medical technologist and is on the Colby faculty. Ralph is with the 1st Nat'l. Bank of Boston. Best man was Jim Wycoff who is now living in Geneva, N. Y., also banker.
Daughters of this fine class arrived as follows: Maryanne Kaemmerlen, whose Daddy is Paul Kaemmerlen, born April 25 up in Syracuse. Out in Montclair, N. J., Zeus and Joe Morse had a little girl Debra Lei on April 6.
On the way up to Hanover last spring there was an old Indian standing along Route 5 in Windsor. He is reputed to remember everything. Tried him, asked him what he had for breakfast, December 6, 1927. He thought and answered "Eggs." Amazing! This fall while rolling up to the Navy game I chanced to spy the same Indian in Windsor. Now I figured I'd stump him. I went up and said, "How" and he replied, "Scrambled." It's a fairly furry story, but it's got to do with Indians. Besides, it's past midnight.
Secretary, Indian Field Road, Greenwich, Conn.
