1944
I kinda like that new bold type the Alumni Mag is using to make class members' names stand out, and just hope they'll print Don Larsen the same way, so people flicking through the magazine will think he was a child prodigy who picked a class commensurate with his noble effort out there today.
Most of us poor wretches here in Cincinnati are like mosquitos; we never roam more than a mile from home. Don Hinckley on the other hand broke the one mile barrier and is now living in a five-story town house in Paris, is responsible for P & G's marketing prowess on a global scale less "the continental United States," and has become an international conversation piece hereabouts. The other day Bill Portman and I had lunch with Don (he paid) and learned he had been in Mexico City the night before, Honolulu before that, and Calcutta the preceding night. If Bill and I get up for an Ohio State game it's a long planned excursion.
Here's where and how some of our elite are spending the fall season. Gil Anthony is up in Seattle, a sales engineer for Boeing Aircraft, which incidentally may be your best '56 stock investment. Prof. Joe Goldstein and family are in a new abode in Woodbridge, Conn., leaving Joe a bit of commutation to his podium at the Yale Law School. And John LaBounta is cashier for all of Pillsbury Mills' operations. We just sold Pillsbury some marvelous machinery, and if I say that I believe John is a brick when it comes to prompt remittances, you'll know I'm only referring to our class affiliations. But we do need the cash, John.
Charlie McDowell, lawyering with the JAG of the Navy Dept. in Washington, has just moved into a new home in Alexandria. With the exception of New York and Boston, I'll bet Alexandria is our best town for '44s. And to get back to Boston, Dick Morse, who possibly has acquired more legitimate knowledge than any ten of us together, is taking a graduate course in economics at Harvard. No relation, Harry Morse is doctoring in West Hartford, Conn.
The one reason I've enjoyed the World Series so much this year is that I've had a little more chance to see Jim Briggs. He and I frequent the same restaurant during the Series and always arrive early to get a good table near the 21-incher. And it's been a bit more pleasant of late since he's for the Bums and I go with the Yanks.
Mac Corner, who has been ascending the honored rungs of the profession, has just been appointed assistant to the v.p. in charge of the assigned product section of U. S. Steel's American Bridge Division. Down in Louisiana, Hal Jamison has a good thing going in the Dia-Log Oil Well Service. And I don't expect Al Rose is suffering as patent attorney for B. T. Labs in NYC. Lem Arnold is now up in Dayton with Lockheed Aircraft, and Investments specialist, Fred Cohn has just moved into a new home in Williamsville, N. Y., just outside Buffalo where he works. And, of course, Marsh Clark, since he has taken over sales promotion for Scott Paper, has moved down to their headquarters in Chester, Pa. Merle Hagen picked a good spot to push Kimberly-Clarks products and has settled down in Woodlawn Hills, Cal.
John Luce's foreign pride and joy, JackMulligan is now calling Bad Godesberg, Germany, home, and Vic Morgan with the State Department, looks on Vien-tiane, Laos, the same way. Bill Turpin, also with the State Department, has rooms overlooking the Kremlin in Moscow.
Don Arnsdorf of Bloomfield, N. J., has multi-faceted interests. Aside from teaching chemistry and biology at Bloomfield High, he's president of the local Teachers' Association, founder of the West Orange Citizens Committee on Education, is a registered securities dealer specializing in investment plans for helping parents accumulate funds for their youngsters' college education, a member of the Essex County Coaches Association, Spiked Shoes Associates, etc. ad inf. And in the educational field, that great scholar, Needle Allen, was elected president of the Berkshire School Alumni Association.
The peddlers will be interested in knowing that Charley Fox is doing the purchasing at Winchester Electronics in Norwalk, Conn. Jim Clark is now in the neighborhood there of Greenwich, and huckstering out on Madison Ave. Jack Lewis has got something brewing down in Miami.
Dr. Bill Gatlin has just been appointed radiologist at the Middlesex (Conn.) Memorial Hospital. At the time of the announcement there was a swell picture of Bill and his five-year-old daughter Robin in the local news- papers. For the past two years Bill has been studying radiation physics at MIT while continuing 'his private practice.
Tim Hartigg and Miss Alice Hendrick, both of Washington, D. C., made known their intentions on September 8. No date has been set for the wedding.
. Any duplicate vacation snapshots that your friends or relatives forget to take home, will certainly be welcome here. Also any news item Winchell and Sullivan wouldn't take.

Y.: Jack Lawrence is president of Twinsburg Miller Corp. in Twinsbure, Ohio: L»n Landrv is an English instructor at the Colorado State College of Education in Greeley, Colo.: Tohn Kimmey is an instructor at Virginia Military Institute; Dave Little is a field representative for the West Publishing Co., working out of Bloomington, Ind.; Don Comes is representing Armstrong Cork out of Cleveland; and Bill Distin is general manager of Branch and Callan, Inc. in Saranac Lake.
