1946

Dear Gang - Several interesting letters this month so, let's get right at them. First a nice note from George Hilton who is spending the current academic year at the Northwestern University Transportation Center in Evanston, Ill., as a post-doctoral fellow. George reports he's using the time for several projects in connection with the decline of railroads. Next fall however, he is going back to the teaching field as he's taking a position specializing in transportation at the business school at the University of California in Berkeley. Nice to hear from you, George!

Next a very newsy letter from Ed Norton's wife which we appreciated. She reports that Ed is still with United - Car Fastener (he's been with the firm for fourteen years); he was transferred to Chicago five years ago and has been traveling in Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin as a field sales engineer for the company. Ed and Nancy were married in Pound Ridge, N. Y., in March of 1959 and Nancy reports no family yet but a pair of poodles. At this writing they are about to move into a new home in the Chicago suburb of Elmhurst. Ed's two daughters by a previous marriage are nine and twelve and are with him and Nancy. Third, she also reports that Casper "Cas" Wooldridge was best man at their wedding and that he and wife Natalie recently spent Labor Day weekend with the Nortons in Provincetown, Mass. The Wooldridges have one son, age three and Cas is working for Kendall Mills in Walpole, Mass. Thanks for your note, Nancy and for your information, the Class' delayed 15th Reunion is scheduled for June of 1962 - Hope you can make it!

Don Fitzsimmons will have to get used to his land legs again. After a tour of duty with the Military Sea Transport Service, Naval Chaplain Fitzsimmons has been assigned to the South Weymouth, Mass., Naval Air Station. Don reentered the service as a chaplain in 1957 and was assigned for a period to the Second Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, N. C. After that he went to sea with the Military Sea Transport Service. The Fitzsimmons family includes wife Mary and a son, Donald B. Jr., now 2 years old.

Clyde Meder has been named plant controller for the General Aniline and Film Corporation's Linden, N. J., plant. His appointment was a confirmation of a position he had been holding. Clyde now has nearly fifteen years of experience in the field of accounting. Previously he was budget manager for the Wright Aero Division of the Curtiss-Wright Corporation. If you were to visit the Meder home in Little Falls, N. J., you would find Clyde and his wife Esther, and their two daughters, Merilyn Ann, 13 and Janis Mae, 6.

Shortly after you read this, ye old Editor hopes to be spending the first week in May in Hanover at the Annual Class Officers' weekend and we'll give you a report of activities in a subsequent issue. Again - I plead for news and mail.

That's it - '46 up!
