1948

Last weekend the Yale game was not only a great moment for Dartmouth with our team completely dominating the opposition, but also the large gathering of '45's cheering them on was a welcome sight for me. Next to us sat Dave and Ginny Packard with Dick, eight, and Carol, eleven. Dave gave me some interesting news concerning himself which was announced in the papers just this week. He has joined the investment firm of John C. Legg to set up and manage the municipal bond department. Here's hoping Dave does well for the firm and himself as the new department prospers.

During the half I chatted with Joe Marpie who says life has been hectic and also saw Lloyd and Joan Krumm who look great. Dick Weaver came all the way down from Buffalo so Pete Page fixed him up with a date for the weekend. Marion Page looked fine and they are expecting their fourth child in a few months.

Dick Greene and Al McAllister were sitting together. Dick is still a gay bachelor, but says he thinks that this might be the year for him, although he has no one special in mind. He has relinquished some of his many activities at the Young Republicans Club of Needham.

Those pre-game Bloody Marys served in the parking lot by Alan and Sally Epstein helped a great deal in shouting encouragement to the Big Green.

I spotted John and Pat Hatheway with a mutual friend of ours in the advertising business who happened to attend the rival school. John was exhibiting great enthusiasm for the team out on the field.

Bobo and Barbara Russell were there with a large group of Dartmouth rooters from Saugerties. Dick and Mary Landon brought their older son Steve to the game so Dick was unusually subdued. Among others I saw were Jim Fox and Foxie and HelenParker. I'm sure there were probably others I missed in the large crowd.

Last month we reported that Pete Norton had joined the New York sales staff of Knox Glass, Inc. This month we include a recent photograph of Pete which was released by the firm's publicity office. Before joining Knox, Pete was doing sales work with Crown Cork and Seal Co. and the Anchor Hocking Glass Co., both in New York. Upon arriving home in Rumson, N. J., he is greeted by a lively, bulging household of five sons and a daughter.

The other evening I bumped into Joe Smith while having a drink at the new Dartmouth Club. Joe was happy to buy drinks all around as their fifth child, David, had been born that morning.

It was nice to hear that Walt Baker was appointed manager of the new branch of the Society for Savings Banks which opened recently in Simsbury, Conn. Walt and Joyce have four children and in addition he keeps busy with various interests and activities in Simsbury.

At headquarters in Richmond, Va., it was recently announced by Reynolds Metals that Dave Kurr had been promoted to the position of southeastern regional sales manager for architectural and building products.

A very interesting article was written in the magazine "Broadcasting" by John Warwick who is vice president in charge of operations at Warwick and Legler Advertising Agency here. John maintains that tampering and regulating the TV industry could affect and seriously slow down the economy, and furthermore, a great majority of the viewers want it maintained at the low level which it is.

John and Cettie Costello moved into a larger house in Britton, Mich., so that their three daughters will have a little more room. John is the superintendent of the Ford Motor Co. plant in Rawsonville.

I just heard that after selling advertising space for a short while here in New York, and before that in his hometown. Chicago, Jim Duffy has joined Goodbody, the brokerage firm in Chicago, as a registered representative selling securities. He is still living in nearby Hinsdale. Jim and Jeanne have a daughter, seven, and twin sons, five.

Walt and Mary Cairns bought a home in Marblehead Neck, conveniently close to sailing territory. Walt will now be able to sail more easily than ever before. Walt is a research consultant with Arthur D. Little Inc., the well known Boston firm.

There have been quite a few changes in Jim Cleaves' life lately. Firstly, Jim and Anne moved to Moylan, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia, where Jim works. Furthermore Jim is now associated with the John F. Rich Co., advertising, where he is campaign director.

I hope to see some of you at the rest of the games cheering our team to victory. 'Til then, see you next month!
