1922

It was through modesty, no doubt, that Frank Horan omitted a personal item from the recent issue of his Alumni Fund Twoter. The April 8 issues of New York papers carried a picture of Frank over the news of his election to the board of directors of Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company. That is a well-deserved recognition of Frank's abilities and indicates the respect held for him by the company he serves as general counsel.

Your secretary spent a day in April with Kirk Steen. It was a very pleasant reunion after the lapse of some 31 years during which we had not seen each other and it was nice to have the opportunity to meet Pauline. Kirk is the principal in Interstate Bag Company, Walden, N. Y., a company which is the most important factor in the shopping bag field. We were joined for lunch by Bill Rex. You will recall from a previous column that Kirk and Bill are fellow fathers-in-law. Their daughter and son, respectively, reside in Wigwam Village and have been the reasons for recent trips to Hanover by both.

Don Tobin recently moved to Philadelphia where he is engaged as manager of the C. A. Rowell department store.

Three years after Bill Streng's untimely death, Marian and her two sons moved out to Berkeley, California, where she is engaged in the real estate business. Bill Jr. (who will be remembered by those back for the last reunion) was graduated from Tuck School in '51 and is a practicing CPA in Oakland. Jim, Dartmouth '52, enlisted in the Army after his sophomore year and served in Korea.

The third edition of Gaylord Anderson's book Communicable Disease Control came off the press last September and the third volume of his Global Epidemiology appeared late in the fall. Just to prove that Andy is not devoting his all to public health, a field in which he is recognized as top man for the country, it is noted that he is a member of the committee in charge of the St. Paul Pop Concerts and is president of the St. Paul Figure Skating Club in which daughter Gail, University of Minnesota coed, is a leading skater.

A daughter was born recently to Marilyn and Ben Massey. The maternal grandparents are Clif and Madeleine Watson. Clif looks upon this philosophically as further evidence that the Watson family is overbalanced on the female side.

Gladys Hall and her four youngsters are living in Saco, Maine. Hannah will graduate from high school in June and then train at the Marine Medical Center for her career as a nurse. Benjamin at 15 takes after Red in size, being a 6' 2" lad who requires a 13½ shoe. Daniel is 12 and absorbed in baseball. Nancy at 11 has artistic inclinations.

To interesting occupations add that of Gordon Vamey who is a manufacturer of scale model trains in Coral Gables, Florida.

As these notes are being written, the report indicates that we have to raise $8,200 between now and the close of the Alumni Fund to achieve our objective. The many impelling reasons why the Class of 1922 must bear its share of the effort require no listing here. If you are one who has not contributed to the current Fund, please do it now and do it generously.

Secretary, 38 Newbury St., Boston 16, Mass.
