1944

I hope you all cleaned up on the Yale game last weekend. I backed into a couple of fins when I spouted off too loudly about how Dartmouth was going to take the thirteenth ranked team with ease, and some wise-acres took me up on it. It was also fun to read Red Blaik's memoirs in the SatevePost this week and his recollection of the Fifth Down game being one of his three greatest thrills in football.

My plans to write about Jerome Brody's new $4½ million Four Seasons restaurant were squashed by the full and excellent coverage in the October ALUMNI MAG. Some layout he's got!

Bill Turpin, the State Department's specialist in Russian economics (Bill spent two years at the Embassy in Moscow), returned to Hanover and assured the students that Russia is not now outstripping the U. S. economically "nor is it conceivable that they will in the near future unless a complete American disaster should occur."

jack Childs '09 kindly passed along news of seeing Bob Gilchrist passing out cigars at the Dartmouth Club in Cleveland in honor of the newly-arrived baby boy. A reserve officer, Bob spent two weeks in a in Virginia last summer. Jack feels "he's apparently doing all right in his job with the Cleveland Trust Company, for he and his little woman have just bought a house in East Cleveland." Jack also mentioned that Bob Harris, another local, lives across the street from the Aurora Golf Club where his wife, Bea, is one of the top women golfers. Jack says nothing about Bob's game.

There's joy at the Win Turners. Daughter Leslie Deak made her appearance on October 4, scaling in at a respectable seven pounds, three ounces. A strong challenger to Betty and Norm Simpson's newest daughter, Anne Mitchell, who arrived August 17, tipping the scales two ounces under Leslie. Anne was born at High Noon, an hour which both amazed and pleased Daddy. Norm tells of having moved in June, still in Syracuse, and three blocks away. At their old address, Dick Berlin and Roger Brown '45 were in the same block. At the new address, more Green, in the form of Jim Capps '43 and Bob Hosmer '32 within 8-iron shots.

And with those who like to move around in the neighborhood, Paul Jones didn't like 255 Forest Avenue in Cohasset, Mass., and stepped up to 312. And then there are those who like to move "big" such as Dick Allenby who hopped from Colombia, S.A., to Oildale, Calif, (where's that?) (and why?). Dick, as you know, is with the Exploration Department of Standard Oil Company.

While we're on for Allied Moving Company, former Louisvillian Dick Howe is now in Quincy, Ill., as General Sales Manager of the Monroe Chemical Co.; and John Englehorn is in St. Louis, once removed from Kirkwood, Mo.; and Los Angelite Hartley Caldwell (not to be confused with the Tennessee Stove Works Hardy Caldwell) is "somewhere in the Pacific" with an APO number and with the H.Q. of Pacific Stars and Stripes. Getting back to "little moves" where you can rent your own truck, Oilman R. Phillips Pringle just made a local shift in Tulsa; whether it was good or bad depends on whether the last hole was bubbly Or ... dry.

One of our Cincinnati newlyweds has just returned from a Bermuda honeymoon and told of the pleasure in visiting with JackGrimm, his fiancee Robbin Bain, and chaperone brother Bob. It appears that Jack and Robbin will be married shortly after her Miss Rheingold contract expires the end of the year. Bud Baker has been appointed northern district sales manager for Midwestern Volkswagen Corp., distributors for Ohio and Kentucky. Bud works out of Columbus.

I received a nice, long letter from Bob Colwell, who passed along his expression of appreciation for the good job done by the Reunion Committee and particular thanks to those who organized the children's program. And to Jim Browning, whose home especially fascinated the New Rochelle real estate king. Bob also mentions that Dr. Jack Baker just bought a house in Pelham Manor just a stone's throw away from cousin Harry Colwell's place. Continuing, Bob says he "expects to see Jack Corroon on the 20th at Garden City when we insurance people hold our annual Downstate Regional Meeting of company and Agency personnel. Pinky usually is on hand, pumping the hands of his good representatives in the field, and a fine job he does. The Corroon group has always surrounded itself with the best in salesmen and Pinky is no exception."

Norm Simpson passed on the very sad news of Bob Hamlin's sudden death on October 5. He writes, "It was a shock to read of Bob Hamlin's sudden passing in the local newspaper Monday. We had seen him this past spring during our local Capital Gifts work, in which Bob handled the Watertown area." We extend deepest sympathy of the class to Bob's wife, Miriam, and their children, Stephen, five; and Sarah, three. Details will be found in the In Memoriam section of this or a subsequent issue.
