1940
This is being written on a plane flying from Jamaica to New York. Across the aisle from us sit Rosalie and Gordon Wentworth. We have all just completed a wonderful vacation together in Ocho Rios where your correspondent managed to take a modest amount of money from Wentworth on the golf course with the aid of what he considered to be an inordinate number of strokes. And now back to reality!
Creight Holden sends a note with a brochure from his St. Clair Inn and Country Club showing the beautiful lay-out. He also included a folder on the "Nuclear Ninth Lost Weekend at St. Clair Inn." It seems that for the past nine years the Inn has been offering a package deal over the New Year's weekend, supplying everything but the girls. At least, the brochure does not mention girls and it mentions everything else. In his note Creight suggested that we might have a class gettogether at the St. Clair Inn in a non-reunion year. This sounds like a wondeful idea and we would be interested in hearing from anyone who has views on the subject. The layout looks stupendous and we are sure that we would all have a wonderful time.
A few weeks ago we ran into Bob Clark in the street and he passed along the information that Joe Adams has been made a vice president of States Marine, one of the nation's biggest shipping concerns. He is in the legal end of the business. Bob is a registered representative with Hayden, Stone & Company in New York.
Kim Atkins, Ann and their four children moved to Cleveland last spring. Kim is with the Cleveland Psychiatric Institute and Hospital and reports that he is very happy.
Fred Eaton reports from West Palm Beach that he is still manager of the Sears, Roebuck store in town, which has the number one retail position in the area. The family is reportedly set at five, ages ten, eight, six, five, and two-and-a-half, consisting of four boys and one girl. Fred still keeps up his flying by renting a plane whenever he is going to business meetings in Tampa or Atlanta. He has caught the "ham" radio bug and hopes to be on the air with a new transmitter soon. A small boat has him neglecting his golf, but it enables the family to see more of him in his off-hours.
Dr. Gordon Stokes and his brother, Gilbert Stokes ('41). who are identical twins, were guest speakers at the meeting of the Mothers of Twins in Fall River. They spoke on the subject of what it is like to be an identical twin. Gordie is a specialist in internal medicine and is chief of medicine at Truesdale Hospital while his brother is chairman of the science department at Tabor Academy and teaches biology. They were born within ten minutes of each other in Haverhill, Mass. They graduated from Haverhill High School, Tilton School and Dartmouth College. Gil obtained a Master's degree in education from the University of New Hampshire while Gordie took his medical degree at Northwestern University and a Master of Science degree in medicine from the University of Minnesota.
John Hannestad writes from the American Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. He says that he lias been in Beirut since the middle of July, has lost all touch with the College and the Class, and has received no ALUMNI MAGAZINE. (We wonder if he got by the Capital Gifts boys?) He is under contract with the International Cooperation Administration as a consulting engineer for the American sponsored program for rural electrification of Lebanon, bringing light and power to a region with a longer and more varied history than almost anywhere else in the world. He says that he never imagined, when studying the classics at Dartmouth, that some day he would be engineering a substation at Baalbek (or Heliopolis as the Greeks called it). He finds Lebanon a country fascinating to the history bug, which at the same time provides some very comfortable modern living facilities, belly dancers, and a marvelous climate. There is also skiing near the famous Cedars of Lebanon, but he hasn't gotten there yet. He gives his phone number as 41764 and invites all passers through to use it, so as to enjoy the opportunity of seeing an Ugly American in native habitat.
Dr. Stuart Anderson of 151 Hubert Avenue, Hackensack, N. J., writes that after many years in general surgery he is at present working toward the qualification as a pathologist. He would like to hear from Darnley, Cline, Schleicher, Czernv. Sinclair, Belding, Chipman and others of M'41.
We received a nice note from Gay Sudarsky (Joe is too lazy to write!) in which she informed us that they had a highly successful New Year's skiing trip near Hanover with their eleven-year-old son, Lewis, and eightyear-old daughter, Betty. Little Debby was left behind on the pretext that she was too young. Joe is kept very busy with his duties as vice president of the West Hartford Town Council as well as with his active law practice. She says that if it were not for Joe's interest in golf, skiing, and Lewis's midget football, the family would probably never see him. Luckily he always seems to be able to work in family sports activities.
Herb Landsman, Operating Vice President of Federated Department Stores in Cincinnati, advises that his family runs the gamut in ages from two to fifteen; is thriving; and that his work continues to be a great challenge. He has been very active in appeal and the National Red Cross where he has had the opportunity to do some exciting work with General Gruenther. In addition, he had a happy return trip to France where he saw old friends after many years.
