1918
Our May notes showed a picture of BudFrost receiving the annual award of merit from the Dartmouth Club of Bergen County, N. J., without any comments. We stress that this award of merit to Bud is an event of which the whole class should be justly proud. The award was made to Bud only after careful consultation with the College officials and after an award committee of four from Bergen County Alumni unanimously approved the choice. The citation reads in part, "As a token of affection and respect on behalf of the hundreds of youthful aspirants whom you have so unselfishly helped along the road to physical and spiritual maturity and of the more than 400 Bergen County Dartmouth Alumni."
We call attention to the "In Memoriam" for our adopted classmate, William H. Coulson, who passed away on April 7. He was a very active supporter of Dartmouth College. In 1957, he was named director of President Eisenhower's Committee on Fund Raising Within the Federal Service, an office which he held at the time of his death.
Reed and Hitty Montgomery are back in Falmouth after their winter's sojourn to Colorado Springs and Texas. While in Colorado, they went to the annual Dartmouth dinner with Johnny Cunningham and were very impressed with the enthusiasm and spirit evidenced at that dinner.
Ed Felt sent us a clipping from the Buffalo Evening News reporting the appearance of Richard P. White, executive vice president of the American Association of Nurserymen, before a House Appropriations Subcommittee in which he asked for more money to station horticulture inspectors at the Great Lakes ports to protect the nurserymen and farmers along the Great Lakes from foreign plant destroying pests, which may be brought into this area as a result of the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Dick seems to have his name appear in some paper nearly every week.
Ed also sent a clipping taken from the North Dakota Agriculture College publication "Bison Briefs" showing a picture of our outstanding classmate, Murray Baldwin, of Fargo who was general chairman of a ten-day national security seminar held at the college March 14-25. The seminar was conducted by the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, designed to give key military personnel and civic leaders the latest information on the position of U. S. security readiness.
Ed Felt writes that while driving through Lexington, Ky., he and Clara looked over a place called "Calumet Farm." They both were very impressed with the beautiful home and racing stables which they saw on their visit to Gene and Lucille Markey.
Kathryn Lucier has sent a clipping from the New York Times of March 28, taken from the column headed "Music: Trumpet Sounds," which tells of a concerto conducted by her son, Alvin Lucier, played by Armando Ghitalla, assistant first trumpet player of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and other mem- bers of that orchestra. Mrs. Lucier writes that her son Alvin is working for a Masters De- gree in Music at Brandeis. He has recently received a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Rome, Italy, starting in September. He ap- parently inherits his musical ability from his father who, as you remember, played a lot of violin with Werner Jansen and Bill Cunningham while at Dartmouth.
She writes that since the death of her husband Alvin, in 1953, she has made her home in Greensboro, N. C., so that she may be near her oldest daughter Louise, who is married to Dr. Julian Brantley and has five children. She has another daughter Constance, who is married to Dr. William G. Anlyan, associate professor of surgery at Duke Medical School in Durham, N. C. They have three children. The youngest daughter Helen Agnes, who is married to George W. Hickey of the Good-year Rubber Company, lives in Longmeadow, Mass., and has four children. Mrs. Lucier says that she enjoys the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE very much and looks forward to reading it each month.
Jake Bingham brings us up to date on the doings of our New Hampshire classmates.. . . Les Badger recently made the newspapers with the distinction of failing to stop at two stop signs in a row, pleaded guilty and paid his fine. Leon Dodge is chairman of the Board of Selectmen of Alton, N. H. Jim Langley, publisher of the Concord, N. H., Monitor, was the featured speaker at the New Hampshire State Banquet of the New England Council annual meeting. Amos Blandin Jr. is a trustee along with Prexy Hopkins of the College of Advanced Science, which was opened at Canaan, N. H., on January 4.
Herm Smith is a director of the newly formed and chartered Exeter, N. H., Rotary Club.
Bill Colby recently visited Washington, D. C., as a member of the Board of Governors of the American Bar Association. While there, the Bar Association entertained the lawyer members of the U. S. Senate and House of Representatives.
Dwight Sargent was given a two-column write-up in the St. Petersburg Times, Sunday edition, of March 13. Dwight is the personnel director of the Consolidated Edison Company of New York and was in St. Petersburg en route to Miami Beach, where he testified before the National Health Council Forum at the Carillon Hotel. Dwight is the author of a bill recently introduced in Congress, which, if passed, he believes would encourage about one-third of the nearly 1,500,000 individuals between 65 and 71 years of age now drawing full Social Security benefits to do more work and accept smaller benefit checks. If this should happen, the result in saving in Social Security costs might be approximately $250 million per annum.
Recently, we received a card from Tonalá, Mexico, from Ed Garvey reporting "the climate really ideal." He had seen DonRobinson in San Miguel a few weeks before. He hopes to be back in New England sometime in May.
Ernie Earley reports . .. The Stan Joneses had a delightful little cottage right on the beach with towering Australian pines and some palms beside them in Florida. Stan said that Paul and Helen Miner looked fine, and, as always, we all miss our old friends. Paul and Helen have plenty of friends here and play bridge, and enjoyed so much Marge and Phil Boynton. Back last February, Chris got up to Hanover and had a fine visit with Ed Booth and Amos and Alberta Blandin, as well as Em Morse. Chris was delighted at that time with the Church House Memorial for Rolf Syvertsen, which way back in February was over $600.
Missed at '18 dinners in New York City was Bennie Mugridge, who has been doing a lot of traveling through the winter, making stops at Toledo, Akron, and Pittsburgh, attending several Methods Engineering Council meetings, and putting on a seminar at B. F Goodrich Company.
Only recently, Dick Holton learned of the death on January 24, of Laurance M. Dalton, who spent a good deal of his time with Liberty Mutual.
Datelined April 26, the New York Times carried the news that "Elizabeth B. Skinner, wife of David L. Skinner, a New York investment banker, died of a heart attack here today in her home at 65 Forest Avenue, Rye, N. Y." How comforting it would be if old friends of Dave dropped him a note. Dave is vice president of Harriman-Ripley & Company, has been most active as supervisor and councilman of Rye, and has been one of the leaders in raising substantial funds for the Christ Church at Rye, N. Y.
