1946

Bill Striker is up in Cambridge with Baird Associates as a physicist. He and his wife and daughter moved into their new house last fall and Bill comments that it was only eight weeks late on promised moving-in date. Not bad. I had a builder romance me for eight weeks putting in the bx cable alone. StanGates is director of research for an advertising agency in Reading, Pa. He and Mary Jane have a young Jim a years old. They have not seen any of the '46s and are especially interested to know the whereabouts of BobCase. My elaborate files can't help; sing out, Bob, where are you? Dick Priest, daddy of daughters extraordinaire indicates an interest in adding a "Junior." Dick sees Dr. FredRichardson up in Laconia, N. H., where Fred now has his practice (ski leg breaks a specialty). Mystery Man Al Schlosser continues his excellent work for Bauer and Black in Chicago. Al is now a district sales manager. We all look forward to seeing this guy at reunion; he has a knack of keeping out of sight of most of his old running mates.

John Knipple, now a lieutenant in the Navy Supply Corps, reports two daughters, and by now has added a third child; no details. John will be there for the Tenth.

Dues are only $5, which covers MAGAZINE and keeps Bob Kimball out of debtors' prison in Hanover, where the ALUMNI MAGAZINE puts the bite on our large class for a tidy sum. It's a worthwhile bite, I hasten to add. (I want this column published.)

Gus Ruertenik moved out to Cleveland where he is with Ohio Bell Tel. Co. Betty and Gus have two girls, Sarah and Bonnie. Gus tells us that Len Gammel is a dentist in Aurora, Ohio. Doing a good job of carrying on the Bruemmer name, Jay Bruemmer now has three boys and he is stacking up the commissions as a salesman for Landers, Frary and Clark. This company makes among other things a very fine line of home appliances and is a good solid New England company. And '46 need never despair about help with teeth problems. We enjoy a nice group of dentists. Just learned that Earl Staples is one, - he is a dad of a boy and girl. John Morrissey is a medical resident at University Hospital in Columbus, Ohio; married and feels he won't be able to get out of the duty to make it all the way to Hanover this spring. Maybe the head doctor is an old Green. He might have a soft spot toward recreation for his resident physicians. It's worth a try anyway.

Forgot to mention that Jackie and BobKimball had a baby girl, Patricia, last June and this makes three. Bob is becoming the Number one source of excellent dates for the 1970 Green Key weekend for Boston area Greens. Only a portion of your dues go toward paying Bob's doctor and the recent increase could have nothing to do with the new wing the Kimballs built on their home this fall.

Rev. Paul Kintzing is Episcopal Chaplain at Northwestern University. He is married to the former Jacquie Troit of Wilkinsburg, Pa. Check for my frosh sister in your next Sunday flock, Paul. Up in Arlington, Mass., BillBirchard opened his medical practice in association with Dr. Gordon Saunders of that city. Bill interned at Boston City Hospital, did resident research at Cushing VA Hospital, and after that was associated with the Boston VA as a staff physician. And in Holyoke, Dr. Walt Carver started his practice in orthopedic surgery. Walt is married and has two children, boy and girl. First report we had on him was that he had opened a restaurant in South Hadley. Curious sideline for a doctor.

Paul Bristol is his own best insurance customer with three boys and a girl. He is now Asst. Group Manager of the Conn. General Life Insurance Co. in Hartford. Paul and and gang live in Bloomfield, Conn. Say, if you are interested in getting into the advertising business, either agency or client (and who, these days, isn't) your old associate Bill Rosenfeld just this summer started his own executive placement agency designed to specialize in the advertising business. Company name, Arden Associates, 11 E. 47th St., NYC. Bill has placed a couple of good men this fall and very satisfactorily. Prior to owning his own business, Bill was ad mgr. of Mosler Safe Co. Where did he get capital to start his own enterprise. ... Mosler has a "Do-it-Yourself" course on how to open their product.

Marriages or those about to be. ... Last June, Ralph Smith and Ann Kiernan in NYC. Ralph was a long-time holdout and we are extending our congratulations. The Class of '46 turned out strong in the "usher-him-there" dept. Bob Jones, Jim Lynch and Doug Leigh did a first-class job. Ralph is an attorney with Gage, Gray, Todd and Sims. He has been very active in the Dartmouth Club and has been a source of keeping '46 together in the NY area with some fine class dinners and other activities. Don Curley and Violet Pochari announced their engagement this past spring. Don is with Mutual Life in New York and Violet is a student at Columbia-Presby- terian School of Nursing. In Passaic, N. J., Anne De Block and Joe Clain were married last April. Joe is with Ford at Matawah, the big assembly plant there for Ford Motors. Down in Macon, Ga., Carl Bremer and Beverly Hart were married last May. Carl is with Woodward, Baldwin and Co. in Atlanta. This summer Leo Burgoyne was married to Laurie Cadigan in Lowell, Mass. It was a big affair. Leo's four brothers were among the ushers. The couple went for a honeymoon cruise on the Saguenay River. Leo is upholding the Dartmouth tradition of keeping a strong arm in on the operation of the good old Square Wheeled Boston & Maine R.R.

Hope to catch your act at New Haven out side the Bowl.
