1949

This will be my last column until the fall issues, and unfortunately the news is quite sparse this time.

Most of my info deals with next week's (as I write this) Class dinner meeting at the Dartmouth Club in New York City. Ed Clogston writes that arrangements are set, and he expects a fine turnout.. Pat and I will be in New York for three days (tying in some business with pleasure) and hope many of you will have joined us by the time you read this. I got a request from Charlie Sandler '50 to make it a joint '49-'50 wingding, and I most heartily endorsed the idea if workable from the Club end - but the last I heard - and I'll know the final answer next week - all involved were afraid we could not accommodate the size of the expected crowd. The suggestion was then made for a similar fall get-together, and we'll talk that over Friday. Sounds like a fine thought.

Driving down one of Providence s busier streets Tuesday, I stopped at a light only to be idling next to Bob Barnaby's Connecticut power-sedan. We shouted out the windows at each other, and the context of our translations were far from adequate, but the fact came out that Bob was again travelling with his (tile, I believe) concern in this area, would be back in a few weeks, and would call me then for a beer or so.

We spent a pleasant evening two weeks ago with the MacArthurs and the Kilmartins at the latter's home. Bob and Jack are golf buddies here with Bob with Westinghouse and Jack in the jewelry-findings business. The Kilmartins have three offspring, while Mac (married only a short time) has one.

This weekend is the Alumni Officers weekend in Hanover, and I regret that I'm not able to attend this year. I'm not sure whether King Ball or Bill White will be able to represent us or not, but I hope so. It's an excellent weekend "on the house" and an opportunity to make an always-pleasant return to the plains of Hanover.

I talked on the 'phone to Mike McGean this week in regard to an Enrollment matter, and he told me that spring had really arrived up there.

Got a fine letter from Pete New out with Community Studies Inc. in Kansas City. Pete has recently resumed a merry tour of travelling and in recent trips has seen the Reed Parker's in Chicago (a security analyst in Chicago bank, but finishing law school at the same time - two children, Mark & David) ... the Elliot Baritz' in New York (son Eric just toddling, papa selling in Canada area when travelling) ... the Russ Blackwood's in Washington (daughter Cynthia, Russ a Ph.D. from Columbia will move to Hamilton College to be an assistant professor).... Peter has also heard from Dr. Joe Kelley who's to marry Miss Ann Higley of Shaker Heights, Ohio, in late June. Joe is taking his residency in internal medicine at present... . Peter himself tours all these areas lecturing, etc., with such topics as "Research in Patient Care", "Nursing Research".

Into the clippings from Hanover.... Engagements Al Quirk of Manchester, N. H., to Miss Patricia Russell of Boston.. .. Dr. Joe Kelley of Salem, Ohio, to Miss Ann Higley of Shaker Heights, Ohio.

Weddings: Joel Berson of New York to the former Miss Ann Iris Olstein of New York. Toel is a graduate of Yale Law School and practices in New York City.... Albert "Bud' Hughes of, Bronxville, N. Y., was married in March to the former Miss Lois Jeannette Cecil of Bell, Calif the following weekend Charles "Jay" Urstadt of Pelham, N. Y., was married to the former Miss Elinor McClure Funk of Santa Monica, Calif. One of Jay's ushers was the aforementioned "Bud" Hughes. Jay is a Cornell Law graduate and is a member of the New York Bar Association.

Only one of us made it back to the Hanover Inn over the past month - Dr. and Mrs. N. A. Harvey of Glens Falls, N. Y. on March 29.

Bob Amirault has joined Bruce Payne & Associates Inc. in Westport, Conn., as a senior associate functioning primarily in the field of industrial engineering. Bob was formerly with Bachmann-Uxbridge Worsted Corp. in Uxbridge, Mass. Bob and Mary have one son.

That's about it from this end until the football season in the fall. In the meantime, I hope you all have a safe, pleasant summer. Also, how about doing your share in the Alumni Fund Drive? You can help so much by giving even a little....
