1948
Last weekend we traveled up to Yale to see our team defeat the much publicized Bulldogs. This they did in grand style. Unfortunately because of the pouring rain no one was moving around very much and I wasn't able to see many '48's although I am sure Pete and Marian Page and some of the other New Haveners were there. I did catch a glimpse of Alan and Sally Epstein who recently left their Manhattan apartment for the country and are now living on Sunnyridge Road in Harrison, N. Y.
Another who recently moved to the country but this time nearer his work is Riley Franklin. Riley is a senior industrial engineer with McDonnell Aircraft outside of St. Louis. He and Geraldine live at 380 Waterford Avenue in Florissant, Mo., which is a few miles outside of the city, and very near the McDonnell plant. They have a daughter, Carol, now four years old and a son Bruce, almost three.
Leading the baby parade this month are Tom and Sally Davis whose daughter Martha, was born in October. Tom is assistant cashier at the First National Bank of Chicago. The Davises have a son and another daughter and live in suburban Hinsdale.
My old pal, Dave Kurr, has recently moved from Philadelphia to Richmond, Va., the home office of his employer, Reynolds Metals Co. Knowing Dave as I do, Mr. Reynolds better look out for Dave is a tough man to hold down. He and Joyce and their daughter live at 8325 Charles Road, Richmond.
Julian Grow is now the news bureau chief of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette. He and Helen and the three sprouting Grows are living at 14 Edgell Street in Gardner, Mass.
On September 20, Tom and Beth Huffman's first son, Peter, arrived. Tom is practicing medicine in Cleveland specializing in internal medicine. He is also assistant to the director of medicine at St. Luke's Hospital where Tom had the distinction of being Chief Resident last year.
At last John and Theresa Conlin had a boy. After having four daughters John C. was born on August 6. It pays to keep trying, doesn't it, John? John works in Washington as a trial lawyer for the Federal Communications Commission.
I just heard that Sam and Jean Wilkinson and daughter, Kate, one year old, moved to a new house in Manchester, Mass., where they had lived previously. Sam is an associate in a law firm in Boston. Good luck and don't work too hard, Sam.
Beech and Cindy Lockwood moved recently from Charlotte, N. C., to Pittsburgh. Beech is branch manager with the Kaiser Aluminum Chemical Co.
Jack McKeon late in October was named by General Electric to be marketing manager of its Gear Motor and Transmission Components Department located in Paterson, N. J. This establishment, the only GE operation of its kind, manufactures mechanical power transmission products used throughout industry. Jack started with GE in 1949, in its test program, and has held several management posts in the Paterson marketing operation he now heads. The McKeon household includes wife Kathaleen, daughters Nancy, 6, and Paula, 4, and son David, 1.
Anyone interested in insurance who lives on Long Island can call Bud Carroll. Bud is secretary-treasurer of Carroon-Carroll insurance brokers in Garden City. He and Mary Louise and their three children live at 147 Anstice Street, Oyster Bay, Long Island.
I guess all of us would like to tell the boss how to run his business. Well, the employees of Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Company in East Hartford have an opportunity to do just that. And Frank Walsh is in charge of investigating their suggestions. His home is in nearby Cromwell, Conn. He and Alice have four children, aged eleven down to one-year-old Christopher.
Sandy Smith has a long commute every day. He is studying for a Ph.D. in applied mathematics at Brown University and living at 1711 Commonwealth Avenue, Brighton, Mass. Sandy is still single and keeps out of trouble by playing tennis at the Longwood Cricket Club.
It looks as though Eddie Gingrich has become a true southerner. He and Ella are living in Atlanta with daughter, Joan. Eddie is the sales representative for the Fiber Conversion Co. which manufactures cushioning material.
Recently Jack and Margaret Barry moved out to the beautiful Boston suburbs. Jack received his M.A. and Ph.D. from Boston University in Psychiatry and is now the chief of the Neurology Research Laboratory at the Boston Veterans Hospital. He does basic research in Physiology and Behavior. Jack's new home address is Pleasant Street, Marshfield Hills, Mass.
We don't have room for any more this month but I will be back with more news after Santa Claus arrives. In the meantime Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you '48's and '48lets. I promise that early in '60 your directory will arrive.
