1942

Winter may be fine for some, but LeoCaproni likes his perennial summer as exemplified by his comments, "this is it! come see us!" Leo is referring to his recent appointment as manager of the St. Croix by the Sea hotel in St. Croix, Virgin Islands. The hotel is situated right on the water and is known for its 150-foot salt water swimming pool carved out of the coral rock. Leo has an extensive background in hotel management in the United States and the West Indies. Following the war years during which he served as a Captain in the Air Force, Leo acted as assistant manager of the Hanover Inn; chief steward at the Montauk Manor, Long Island; assistant manager of the McAllister Hotel, Miami, Fla.; manager of the Pan American Hotel in Port of Spain, Trinidad, BWI; and until recently manager of the Belvedere Inn in Atlanta, Ga. Leo and Jean, who incidentally is an interior designer and decorator specializing in hotel and institutional work, expected to be in St. Croix on November 15 along with their son, Leo III, aged four.

Have you always wanted to own your own business? That's what prompted Ed Millikin to move to Middlebury, Vt., as proprietor of Millikin Motors. In late September, he moved the Millikin establishment including Constance, their four children, two dogs and three cats from Huntington, Long Island, leaving behind some thirteen years in the publishing and advertising business and a job as treasurer of O. E. Mclntyre, Inc. Ed wanted to be in a New England college town and the result was the purchase of the Chevrolet agency in Middlebury to which he has added the Pontiac dealership, both of which lines he will promote and sell as well as service in the area.

Ad Winship has left the Sealtest Foods division of National Dairy Products Corp., for western New York, to return to Dartmouth where he has joined the College Office of Development as special assistant to President Dickey. In this capacity, Ad will be responsible for college relations with corporations. Earlier this fall, Bob Searles, who had been with the Educational Relations Division of General Electric engaged in giving financial aid to universities, was named alumni secretary and director of the development fund offices at Holderness School.

Stu Finch, now an associate professor of medicine at Yale University Medical School, has been appointed chairman of the medical advisory committee of the blood program for the New Haven Red Cross. The group sets local policy on blood collections which are turned over to hospitals in the state except for a small reserve which is stockpiled in the event of disaster.

In September, Hunt Allison became branch manager of the Hartford of T. E. Skinner Associates, exclusive distributor for the Sound Scriber Corp. in northern Connecticut and western, Massachusetts areas. Prior to his new job, Hunt had been a sales representative in the electric typewriter division of IBM and more recently with the National Blank Book Co. in Holyoke, Mass., on a special development assignment.

From the traveling overseas classmates, Ben Page writes of spending a very pleasant several days with Alex and Betty Fanelli in Rome in mid-September and confirms previous reports of the Fanelli's liking for Rome and Alex's work with the USIA. Bate and Posie Ewart, who were in the States brieny earlier this year, remain (as Bates says) in Gaza while all the rest of the world seems to come and go. The one big change in their family occurred around year-end when Margaret was born joining brother John. October witnessed the return to the States of Jim Dietrich with his bride, Kathleen, and their five-months-old son, Guy, following a combined vacation and lecture tour in Ireland and England. They spent ten days in the Donegal Highlands and a week in the mountains of Mourne. Jim's lectures occurred at Belfast and later in Dublin for the Royal Academy of Medicine. While in London, they stayed at Dartmouth House (where else.), headquarters of the English Speaking Union.

One never knows where the power of the pen will strike next. Jim Robinson, a physician in Summit, N. J., reports the birth of a third daughter last April and goes on to say: "the last time this happened, her sister Lynn received a nickname through a misprint in your columns: 'Lynnbin' which has stuck ever since. Can you do any better than 'Janban'?" Since that is the only name Jim mentions, I don't see how we could improve by adding a third syllable. Of equal defiance to your columnist's pen is the announcement by Bob and Beth Campbell of the birth of William Clark in September, their sixth son and ninth child.

Having just recently replied to Ira Berman's class dues notice, it reminded me that perhaps you too had filed the notice for later action which is now later than you think, so clear the decks for another year and keep Ira smiling.

It hardly seems possible that 1959 is about to pass and as I look back but briefly, I am more than pleased to be here at the same stand, looking forward to 1960 and the news to be reported - keep it coming in. On behalf of your class officers as well as myself, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to each and every one of you and yours.
