1955
Welcome back, my captive readers. I hope the summer months were as good to you in all respects as they were to me newswise. I begin this fourth "columnar" year surrounded by reams of yellowed newsprint and assorted letters, so without the usual "bullshooting," leave us get underway.
A "while back" this scribe took leave of the Sunny South for a pilgrimage northward; more specifically, a journey to Swampscott, Mass., to serve as best man in Hank Stephenson's wedding. Hank married Joan Hadley of Swampscott on Saturday, August 16 (vows were exchanged at exactly three-forty-two o'clock EST). Dartmouth was well represented at the reception that followed. HartPerry, Kilt Andrew, Stearns Martin and Bernie Siskind were the Fifty-fivers on hand. Dave Hall '51 (adopted '55), Jim Stead '54, Jim Clark '54 (head usher), and Dave Pope '54 (usher) rounded out the Big Green contingent. Hank and Joan, a Bradford Jr. alumna, left the following day for a honeymoon in Bermuda. When they return they'll be settling in Kennebunk, Me., where Hank's currently working as a salesman for Socony Mobil.
Following one of the pre-nuptial feasts I ran into Larry Freier and reminisced briefly on "the old days" as roommates in Middle Fayer. Larry's now with the Raytheon Tube Division in Boston, living in Cambridge with Pete Bullis '54, and anxious to see any Dartmouths in the area.
Glen Wathen of Fort Fairfield, Me., married Lynn Fulton of Fairfield, Wash., this past July. Lynn is a graduate of Washington State College. Glen and Lynn honeymooned at Lake Pend Orielle and toured the small expanse of real estate lying between their two home-towns en route to Maine where Glen is associated with S. Nightengale and Company.
Dave Anderson and Anita Pascal were married in the Chapel at Lafayette College. Anita, whose father is head of the School of International Studies at Lafayette, is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvaia. Dave is with the international department of the Chase Manhattan Bank of New York.
Art Thorne will soon be handing in his membership card in the San Francisco Bachelors' Club. Art recently became engaged to Barbara Weister of Los Angeles. Barbara graduated from the University of California this past June. Art finished his college education at the U. of Calif., after leaving Dartmouth. Newell Stultz married Elizabeth Dickers of Pretoria, Union of South Africa, a graduate of the University of Pretoria. The wedding was held in the Navy Chapel in Washington, D. C. Newell met his bride while studying on a Fulbright scholarship at the University. He is presently serving as a Lt(jg) aboard the USS Forrestal.
Gerald Kleinmann and Barbara Rosenbloom were married on June 14 in Elmira, N. Y., Barbara's home town. Dave Page was best man at the ceremony. Barbara is a 1956 graduate of Barnard College and was employed as a psychometrist at Perkins School for the Blind at Watertown, Mass. Gerald graduated from Harvard Law School this past June, and plans to practice in California where he and his bride will reside.
Germantown, Pa., was the scene of DaveSteinberg's marriage to Chaile Bloom. Chaile is a graduate of Penn State, and a native of Springhaven, Pa. Dave is in his final year at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Mike Travers and Dorothy Moore were married on June 1 in Ridgewood, N. J. Dorothy is an alumna of Smith College, and is asso ciated with Bonwit-Teller, New York City. Mike completed his military obligation with the National Guard, and is now associated with the Grace National Bank in New York.
Jim Bradford and Judith Clement were married this past June in Longmeadow, Mass. Ward Rowley was an usher at the ceremony. Judy is a graduate of the Museum School of Fine Arts in Boston. Jim completed his four-year tour in the Air Force and is now employed by the United States Envelope Co.
Shirley Dodge became Mrs. John Batchelder in a service held in the Brunswick (Me.) Naval Air Station Chapel. Shirley attended Corham State Teachers College. John is a Lt(jg) in the Navy serving at Brunswick. He and Shirley will settle in East Harpswell, Me.
So much for matters matrimonial - for a while, at least. Here are some miscellaneous meanderings of Men of '55. Pete (Krout)Dromeshauser sent lengthy greetings from the Far East early this summer - not early enough to make the June issue, though. Pete married Donna Wray last June, honeymooned for thirty days and then headed for a year's duty in Korea as a GCI controller for F-86's. Krout spent two weeks resting and recuperating in Itazuke, Japan. During that time, he visited Dick Drake, who's flying F-100's there. Sez Pete,
Doubt that anyone in the Far East has a better deal than Dick at present. He, along with six other bachelors, is living in a. 27-room Japanese mansion, complete with maid, houseboy cook, gardener and a huge garden and pool. I've enclosed some pictures we took at his place. The attire isn't exactly what you'd find at Brooks Brothers,' but it seems to be in style here. At any rate, the kimonos are good drinking outfits. A suggested title for the pictures - "War's Hell! Write the boys at the front."
Ace Hall finally slipped out of Uncle Sam's vise-like grip, and is touring Europe before settling down to his job with Westinghouse in Pittsburgh. Last word is from Vienna. Ace and companions have rented an Opel (car), have left Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and Germany behind, and are headed for Italy and the Riviera.
Fred Crocker has joined his dad in the Crocker Insurance Agency in Herkimer, N. Y. Fred just completed the training program offered by Utica Mutual. His tour in the Navy ended last July when he was discharged as a Lt(jg).
Paul Goddard has been appointed assistant to the personnel director of United Life and Accident Insurance Company, Concord, N. H. Paul served a two-year tour with the Navy before joining the company in 1957.
Free medical care is now readily available to Fifty-fivers all as our Dartmouth brothers hang out their well-deserved shingles and sharpen their scalpels for their first real taste of the professional life. (Those with no Blue Cross take special note of the worthies in your locale.) Dr. Sven Kister is an intern at Presbyterian Hospital in New York, and is specializing in surgery. Dr. Jack Bryan is located in New Haven, Conn. Dr. BernieCarpenter can be found in Yonkers, N. The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania displays the shingles of Dr. Phil Mossman and Dr. Lew Weintraub. Dr. Stu Yunis is operating out of Glen Oaks, N. Y. Those in the Far West can look to Dr. John Stanley, who's a physician at the University of California Hospitals in San Francisco, for medical aid. Dr. Pete Teal is settled in Brookline, Mass. - position unknown at this writing. Dr. Bob Morse began interning at the University of Chicago Clinic this summer. Dr. and Mrs. Jim Hall are to be congratulated on a double blessing sent their way on June 21. Deborah Kay and Diane Sue Hall joined the clan on that memorable date.
