1928
Eight sons of '28ers are members of the freshman class at Dartmouth, the same number as last year, bringing the total number of '28 sons in Hanover to 27. Proud fathers of freshmen are: Nick Carter of Locust Valley, N. Y.; Stu Goodwillie of New Canaan, Conn.; Chet Kellogg of Westfield, N. J., whose oldest son, Chester, graduated from Dartmouth three years ago; Alec Kerr of North Plainfield, N. J.; Bud Osborn of Bronxville, N. Y.; Jack Phelan of Needham, Mass.; Francis Reynolds of Denver, Colo.; and Harry Stone of Winnetka, Ill.
Bill Dietz has left the National Board of the Y.M.C.A., where he was assistant treasurer.. to join the Rockefeller Institute in New York as assistant treasurer. He is now called "Doctor" because everybody else around there is an M.D.
Chris Norman, who has been with Standard & Poors statistical firm for thirty years, was elected a director recently. He has been vice president and managing editor since 1951.
At the Yale game, besides seeing the regular attendants Chuck Bruder, Bill Morton, Beef Vernon, etc., Phil Orsi said he sat in front of Champ and Bertha Webster. It was Champ's first visit to the Bowl since 1930 because as Director of Athletics at Maiden, Mass., High School he felt an obligation to attend his school's games. He played hooky to go to Hanover for the Holy Cross game and to come to New Haven since Maiden played away on those dates.
Jim Campion and Mrs. Roy William Chamberlain, of Ghent, N. Y., were married August 20 at St. Denis Church in Hanover and are living in nearby Etna Highlands. Mrs. Campion is the widow of the late Roy W. Chamberlain and has eleven-year-old twin girls.
Dr. Roy Myers is off again, giving his lecture, "The Romance of Words," to service clubs and high school assemblies from coast to coast. The latest clipping is from Westwood, Mass., where he spoke in the high school assembly on October 20.
A card from Hordy Gifford from Prague says she and her mother were about to leave for two weeks in Russia - Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev.
George and Marion Davis of Glens Falls, N. Y., spend as much time as they can at their farm near Rutland, Vt., where they have 75 head of Holsteins. Steve is working for the Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. in New York and Beth is a sophomore at Wooster College in Ohio. George says he is still interested in motorcycles and has just received a new BMW from Germany.
With all three children away, Bill and Greta Cogswell are selling their big house in Bronxville and plan on moving to Forrest Hills, N. Y.
Doc Simonds resigned last summer as assistant superintendent of schools in Pelham, N. Y., in order to teach math in the Pelham high school. Except for absence while serving in the Navy between 1941 and 1946, Doc taught Math at Pelham from 1934 until he accepted the administrative post six years ago. He says he missed the classroom.
The annual '28 fall reunion in Hanover was a great success, as usual. The gang gathered at the Norwich Inn and rode to the game in a special bus, and back again after the game. The weather, the foliage and the company were tops, and more than compensated for the failure of our team to win. Outside of the good time which '28ers always manage to have when a group of them get together, the highlight of the weekend was the cocktail party and dinner at the Norwich Inn after the game. There was 46 at dinner.
Present at all or part of the reunion (we're doing this from memory because Jack Herpel has our list) were the following, accompanied of course by wives: George Pasfield, Craig Haines, Herb Sensenig, Os Skinner, Jack Herpel, Bill Treanor, George Klein, George Emery, Dick Klinck, John Phillips, Bill Morton, Bill Marx, Tim Paige, Bun Goodrich, Stu Goodwillie, Red Edgar, John Nixon, Jim Campion, Sonny Middlebrook, George Davis, Larry Kenney, Herb Russell, Makie Makepeace, John Lawrence, Budd Maring, and bachelor John Gulian.
President George Pasfield and Herb Sensenig deserve a vote of thanks for handling all the arrangements, and by popular demand they will be drafted for the same job next fall.
Tim Paige's daughter, Dare, who graduated from Wellesley last June, is teaching at La Chatelainie, a girl's school in Neuchatel, Switzerland. Pat is a junior at Skidmore.
Dick Klinck's son, Don '51, is with an insurance agency in East Haddam, Conn., and is married. Another son, Steve, is with the First National Bank of Boston. Louise is a freshman at the Wheelock School.
