1942

The autumnal peak with the color and crispness of the New England fall surrounding the campus is a memory for most of us except for an occasional return visit. However, among us are a few, such as Dick Cardozo, who saw the '58 version first hand. Dick moved his family into Hanover late in the summer as he assumed his duties as Assistant Chief, Surgical Service, at the V.A. Hospital in White River. With an address of 4 Rope Ferry Road I would assume his comment "looking forward to seeing lots of '42s from time to time" might materialize on most any football weekend. In the same "neighborhood" is Hans Huessy who in May was reported as moving "destination unknown" and has turned up in Jericho Centre, Vt. He is working in Burlington with the State and the Medical School at the University as well as establishing a private practice.

As opposed to the above, we have a more common denominator in classmates such as Ted Locke, as far as distance from Hanover is concerned, who practices law in Seattle, Wash., where he and Jean live with their five children. He recently saw Lt. Cmdr. Price Lewis who was getting an icebreaker ready under his command for a trip north (secretary's assumption). In any event, going back to sea will be quite a change from the job of assistant professor of Naval Science at Columbia. Also in the west coast contingent is Matt (TV) Rapf producing this season, Jeff Drum for NBC-TV and Goodson-Todnian. In another sort of production is Art Carpenter, digging himself into a hole which he explains is for the foundation of a new home now that his shop has been completed on the shore of Bolinas Lagoon, Calif., for the manufacture of furniture.

The booming sunny South has been good to Pat Reily who makes his home in Metairie, La., although we suspect his chubber days are not completely forgotten and he might still shoot the Ammonoosuk or race the Headwall with aplomb. A couple of years ago, Pat organized the Reily Chemical Co. to make plastic finishes, floor waxes, soaps, detergents, etc. and finds business good, but '42 activities slow in Louisiana. Last year, classmate MelLee broke up the '42 contingent in Metairie when he received a further promotion with Libby Glass Co. (div. of Owens-Illinois Glass) and was transferred to St. Louis, Mo., leaving Pat to worry about fall hurricanes by himself. Of a nostalgic note is Jim Froude's comments that it "is hard to realize that the 'B' team was 20 years ago! If we only had today's weight then." If that weight were the same then as now. I know what < coaches Ossie Cowles and Eddie Jeremiah would have had to say about the distribution. Of course, I don't pretend to speak for Jim who as Squadron Comm. of Field Maintenance at Craig AFB, Selma, Ala., undoubtedly keeps in trim. As for myself, I plead the fifth amendment.

Gordon McKernan, who has done such a splendid job as varsity basketball coach since 1951 at Brockton High, Mass., has moved this fall to Wantagh, Long Island, where he will coach baseball and basketball and teach social studies at the high school. During the past several years, Gordie's teams have ranked high in the Class A division in the Eastern Mass. basketball tourneys, winning the title in 1954 and capturing the Bay State Tourney championship in 1955. Although locating in Long Island, he will still return during the summer months to Easton where he operates a day camp for the local boys.

In the brief note department: John Furth has become Senior Development Engineer for Ferro Corporation in Cleveland, Ohio, having formerly been with Solar Aircraft in California - Tom Moore received promotion to Associate Professor of Surgery at Indiana University following last year's election to membership in the Society for Vascular Surgery and the International Society of Surgery - Bob Encherman in a new job as Catalogue Manager for the Federated Supply Corp. which Bob describes as a "sundry" buying and marketing organization in New York City — Ed Ferbert has moved to Summit, N. J., from Erie, Pa., to head the Eastern coal sales for Pickands Mather & Co. as District Sales Manager at the New York office - Don Meads, promoted to 2nd Vice President in the Investment Division of New York Life Insurance Co., returned to New York City after several years in Dallas, Tex. - as John Kelsey puts it "Price Waterhouse done transferred me to Philadelphia" so the Kelseys done bought a brand new home in Villanova.

From time to time some of your good wives have taken a moment to keep us up-to-date on your activities and it is much appreciated. As a matter of fact, I've sometimes thought of setting up a harassed secretary's correspondence bureau to solicit the able assistance of the better half. Qualifying in the above category at the present is one Muriel who was good enough to let us know that Ted Arico is so busy with his obstetrics' practice (you see, the economists are right about the expanding population) that he has little time to write but would like to let us know that young son Ted is a chip off the old block when it comes to athletics, including baseball and Little League football in Waltham, Mass. Thank you for writing, Muriel, and may I have the pleasure of hearing from other wives whose husbands are too busy to let us know what they are doing. Until the mailman rings again, I'll be waiting.
