1938

Due to the exigencies of the mail-bag, most of this month's news comes again from the New England area. Local pride, if nothing else, should prompt some bulletins from other sections.

Bob MacGregor has been appointed manager of publications of Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company in Hartford. In 1953 Bob was granted the life insurance degree of Chartered Life Underwriter. He has been president of the Hartford Alumni Club.

Gleaned around Hanover and the nearby countryside during the summer: John Hirst to go to work for the Maxim Motor Co. Phil andGinny Leach with a new daughter, the fifth offspring chez Leach, - Lucinda Anne, July 10. Parker Brownell now with Satterlee, Browne, and Cherbonnier as a partner, having left Seatrains, where he was general counsel; still residing in Riverside, Conn. Brownie reports Brett has added janitor supplies to his already varied list of merchandise. He also reports C. Andrew Perkins back to Boston, but no further details.

From the Belmont Citizen a clipping reveals the return to Haiti of C. B. Wiggiti Jr. and family. Charley has completed his Master's degree at the Harvard Littauer School of Public Administration and goes back as a technical adviser in animal husbandry.

Ganter sends in word that Herb Christiansen has been made district manager of Gulf Oil's Concord, N. H., district, which includes the whole Granite State. Bob McConeghy is pounding the highways of New England for a Frozen-Food Plan being promoted by Jordan Marsh of Boston. Morgan Marshall is still with H. A. Johnson Co., hotel and restaurant food suppliers.

Just for the sake of getting out of New England, we turn now to Dr. John Smillie of the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital, Ann Arbor, Mich.:

"Presented a paper on certain aspects of cataract surgery before the section on Ophthalmology at the 104th annual meeting of the American Medical Association in Atlantic City. We started five new eye residents July 1. These men are graduate physicians who will remain here three years to become qualified as ophthalmologists. Hence will be very busy this summer."

Lt. Col. William C. Chamberlin is now stationed at the Basic School, MCS, Quantico, Va. Dick Gilbert is manager, Administrative Systems, for McDonnell Aircraft Corp. in St. Louis. In case I missed it somewhere along the line, Johnny Johnson is back from Darkest Africa and residing in San Francisco. Why Quilty has moved from White Plains to Miami is a slight mystery, but there he is now, anyway Jerry Tosi, last seen as a resident of Hohokus, N. J., and with Pastene Wines, is now in Cohasset, Mass. Similarly Fred Altemus has moved from the same state out to Lincoln, Nebr. At this rate, New Jersey will soon be de-populated.

Ed Lorenz, if not previously reported, is assistant professor of meteorology at M.I.T. And speaking of the life academic, Hal Berman was recently widely quoted on a lecture he has given after his first visit to the Soviet Union. Professor of Russian Law, Hal discovered some interesting changes in secret court procedures behind the Iron Curtain.

Syd Hogerton is a communications engineer in the Nation's Capitol. Coming North, HansBarber has left South Carolina for the colder climes of Connecticut, while Jim Bonnyman has left Sea Island Boats, in Georgia, of which he was owner, for St. Augustine, Fla. Another returnee from distant parts is John Donovan, changed from India to Hawaii, no doubt a pleasant move. Dr. John Harmon is now on the staff of the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation. Following his year in England, investigating various matters academic and otherwise, Bob Ross is back in his Ohio haunts; I should like a full report of his year away from Ohio Wesleyan.

Paul Barber is assistant manager of the Development Department of the American Smelting and Refining Co. in the Big City. Howie Fogg, still self-employed as a commercial artist, has moved from the old New Jersey setting to Boulder, Colo. Jim Garvey has been transferred by Sylvania from his native Melrose, Mass., to the far territory of Illinois. Jerry Hochberg is a manufacturers' representative in jewelry, operating out of Chicago. Dick Tisdale is membership secretary of the Pittsburgh YMCA.

This just about wipes out the summer's accumulation of goodies. With football games and a New York dinner coming up during the next month, perhaps there may be some more grist for the mill before the next deadline. If all those characters whose shifts of address betoken a change of jobs would drop a card confirming same, there would appear to be lots of news we are now missing.

Congratulations are more than due to Scotty on his windup letter on the compaign; it was a masterpiece and foreshadows a superb drive in the spring of 1956. We certainly will not allow him to relinquish the job until we once more wear the Green Derby. If superhuman efforts will do the trick, we're in.

Secretary, Trinity-Pawling School Pawling, N. Y.

Treasurer, 406 Peck Rd., Geneva, Ill.
