1945
Deadline time again, and where did the summer go? The weather up our way was terrific, fair and pleasant, and I can't remember when I've had a better time. Hope you all did too.
The news is varied and comes from all directions, so if it doesn't seem to have much continuity, bear with me; my mind is a bit rusty after several months away from this sort of work. Beginning with Don Cutter for several reasons. Don and I came to Hanover from Newton, Mass., where we lived in the same neighborhood. At Dartmouth our freshman year was a confusing one with Cutler and Cutter being constantly confused in class and on campus. So be it; Don is a newly elected Trustee of Vermont Academy where he was in the Class of 1941. At present, as some of you skiers may know, he operates as General Manager of Okemo Mountain Ski Development in Ludlow, Vt., and lives in Hanover.
Class Agent Eliot Mover has been named Boston Area Director of the Young Presidents' Organization at the tenth annual -University for Presidents" held recently at the Fontainebleau Hotel, Miami Beach. Ellie, of course, is president of one of the country's oldest and largest baby products firms, Bunny Bear, Inc., Everett, Mass. Norman Donovan has been named assistant to the director of planning of the Kordite Company, Macedon, New York, plastic products firm. Prior to joining Kordite, Norm was business manager of the Brigham Hall Hospital, Canandaigua, and previous to that had been associated with the Todd Company for seven years. Lives with family, wife and four children, in Canandaigua, N.' Y.
Dr. John G. Truxal, professor of electrical engineering and head of that department at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, recently returned from a Moscow, USSR, meeting attended by experts in this field from 30 different nations and sponsored by the International Federation of Automatic Control. John comments that while automation is on the increase in the U.S., the costs of installing a completely automatic system of control is sometimes almost prohibitive in light of already established systems, whereas in the Soviet Union and particularly Red China, development is well behind ours and such automatic control systems are much more feasible, especially in factory production control problems. Besides his degree from Dartmouth, John attended and graduated from M.I.T. He is a fellow of the Institute of Radio Engineers and a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Have you developed an automated bridge player yet, John?
Art Backer has been named Executive Chief Examiner of the Pacific Fire Rating Bureau, San Francisco, Calif. Art came to PFRB in 1948 after doing graduate work at Stanford University. Bob Stewart has been appointed resident manager of International Paper's new Single Service Division plant at Versailles, Ky. Dr. Pete Beck has opened a new office for the practice of ophthalmology in Dover, N. H. Pete is on the staffs of the Portsmouth and York Hospitals and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, and is on the consulting staffs of the Exeter and Wentworth-Dover City Hospitals. He is also a designated examiner for airline transport pilots. Fred Clunie has been elected to the newly created position of Guidance Director by the Peabody, Mass., School Committee. Fred had previously served as a guidance counselor at Boston University, and has a master's degree from Columbia. A news item in the Concord (N. H.) Monitor & New Hampshire Patriot informs me that beer baron Bob Koslowsky was recently elected President of the N. H. Wholesale Beverage Association at their annual meeting held this year at, where else, Hanover.
Miami attorney Murray Sams has been elected a Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers. The academy limits its membership to 500 of the leading trial lawyers in the United States and foreign countries. Murray, who is a native Floridian, was graduated from Stetson Law School and is a former assistant attorney general for the State of Florida. He is now a partner in the firm of Sams, Anderson, Alper, Meadows and Spencer and can be found in the Pan American Bank Building in Miami.
Politics being in the air, here are two worthy candidates to consider when you exercise your voting privilege next month. Running for Congressman from the 3rd District, West Virginia, is Republican Jim Knowles, whose primary victory last spring was somewhat eclipsed by the Kennedy-Humphrey doings. Jim won the nomination by a better than two-to-one margin and says he hopes to give us a similar cheerful report after Nov. 8. We'll be waiting and best of luck. Democrat Hank Dutcher is seeking the seat from the 39th district in the upcoming New York State Congressional election. An Attorney in Rochester, Hank is a member of the City Planning Commission, is active in the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Community Chest, and Masonic and American Legion affairs.
It is with greatest pleasure that I record the marriage of Rosamond Peloquin to Dr. Lan MacKinnon on August 6. When I heard from lan he was literally ecstatic about the marriage and I know that they will be extremely happy. Best wishes from the entire class, lan. Mrs. MacKinnon was graduated from the Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing and Simmons College. She received her M.S. degree from Boston University School of Nursing and was a member of the faculty of the University of Connecticut School of Nursing at the Hartford Hospital. John Washburn and Amanda Foster were married June 18 in Washington, D. C. Amanda, granddaughter of the late Judge Edwin Lamar Davis who served as Representative from Tennessee and Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, is a graduate of Madeira School, attended the Sorbonne, and graduated from the New York School of Design and the Parsons School of Design in New York City. John is a lawyer in the office of the legal adviser of the Department of State and has a master's degree from the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins, and a certificate from the Russian Institute of Columbia University. More news of marital matters finds Dick Owen and Lynn Rasmussen married on June 5 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Lynn is a leading soprano at the Biel (Switzerland) Opera House and holds degrees from the Juilliard School of Music and the Vienna Academy of Music. Dick has a private law practice in New York.
All for this month. Brother Oldfield will be coming your way soon. Send him money; send me news.
Secretary, Middlesex School, Concord, Mass.
