1948
Even though the weather is still pleasantly warm here, I know that fall must be just around the corner when I return from a vacation in Nantucket and rush to write this in time for the first issue deadline. It is gratifying however, to start my second year on the job with a wealth of information about '48's. In addition to the regular material I received this summer, a great deal of information was gathered from the wonderful response to the directory questionnaire. So far I have received replies from more than half the class. I hope that by the time we print our directory we can have close to 100%.
The most interesting and startling fact, it seems to me when I file the replies received every day, is the number of Dartmouth '48 children. There is no doubt that we will be well represented in Hanover in future years.
Before proceeding to the news which has collected over the summer, I want to thank each of you who enclosed a note with a few additional details about what you and your families have been doing the past few years. These personal contacts with those I haven't seen for a long time make the position of secretary most gratifying despite the time involved.
Way out in the middle of the plains Art Kosse'took that one long step and caught Emma Taylor who is now Mrs. Kosse. Art is a sales representative for the Rocky Mountain Bank Note Company of Denver which does lithographing. He lives in Salina, Kan.
On August 8 Tom Donnelly married Barbara Ann Christensen of York, Penna. Tom and Barbara will live in Doylestown, Penna., outside of Philadelphia where Tom is a psychologist.
I hope that each of you had an opportunity to see one of the articles concerning Dr. Sam Katz. Both Time Magazine and the New York Times had glowing tributes in articles about his work with Dr. John Enders on a new vaccine to prevent measles. Sam is also Chief of Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital.
Recently Dr. Charles Major, who has been on the staff of the University of Rochester Medical School, has been appointed Assistant Professor of Zoology at the University of Maine.
Another classmate who recently has been given recognition for his chemical research work is Finn Siiteri. He has been awarded a special grant from Lederle Laboratories, for whom he works, to study biochemistry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University towards completion of the requirements for a Ph.D.
Bob Tarrant recently received a Master's degree in engineering from New York University. Bob is an engineer with Bell Laboratories in Whippany, N. J., and works primarily on systems development. He and Katherine live in Florham Park, N. J., and have two daughters, Sharon five, and Cynthia, two-and-a-half.
Early in the summer I spent a very enjoyable day playing golf with Ken Young. Ken is one of our most enthusiastic classmates and informed me that he attended seven football games last year! He is one of the most successful landscape architects on Long Island and therefore is now devoting a great deal of time to golf and the Lions Club. Ken has received many awards in each of these pursuits. He and Elinor have two girls and two boys, who I'm sure will be good potential for Tommy Keane.
After a long stay in Bangkok, Dick Repko is now assigned to the New York office of Caltex Petroleum. He will be here for an eighteen-month management training program prior to reassignment in the Far East. Dick and Arlene are currently living in Nutley, N. J., with the three little Repkos.
Should any of you decide to ski in Colorado next winter don't be surprised if you see Colin Stewart on the slopes. Colin and Ann recently moved from Boston to Denver where he is associated with one of the outstanding young architectural firms there, T. J. Moore Associates. We will certainly miss Colin here in the East; however from the letter he wrote, he seems most enthusiastic about the West and we know he will be very successful there.
It was certainly good to hear from Ed Leede. Ed formerly was with White Eagle Oil Company and recently resigned to become an independent oil operator in Midland, Texas. Ed reports that his business is progressing very well. He and Margaret Ann have two sons, Thomas, now a year-and-a-half and Michael, bom last April.
Over the summer so many '48's moved and had children it would be impossible to fill you in on all the details at this time. Perhaps in a later issue we can add more; however here are a few brief sketches. At the end of this column there is a list of new addresses.
Dick Bredenberg has moved to California where he is now Asst. Professor of Religion at Occidental College.
Pete Betts has transferred from Los Angeles back to Boston with the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company.
Maurice Witherspoon has moved to Sapphire, N. C., as manager of the Sapphire Valley Inn.

Since I have at this time been informed of 32 new '48 arrivals during the past few months I will only be able to mention a few. I hope to catch up in subsequent issues.
Just when the Alumni Fund Drive was at its crucial point our class agent Russ Carlson who did such a magnificent job had to stop to announce the arrival of Russell Charles Jr. on July 14. Looks like Russ at last has found someone to help get the money in.
