1956
News was thin this month. It was partly due to the recent thaw and poor ski conditions, which cut back on the number of '56s visiting Hanover. In addition some say this column says too much, at least about bachelors, and that may account in part for the decrease in mail. If you didn't get the picture issue of Wha Who Whisper, ask your neighbor for one. It's great!
Jim and Polly Flynn opened their home in Garden City, Long Island, on Feb. 25 for a class executive meeting. They have just moved in and hope soon to have a newcomer to enjoy it with them. President RussBrace and date, Leo and Ginger McKenna,Bob and Sue Dumont, Clem and Ann Malin (who have a six-month-old son now), Wallyand Sybil Pugh, Tom and Jean Rosenwald (they now have a little daughter), GeorgeYeager, and Doug and Ginger Keare were all there to enjoy Polly's good food and hospitality. Doug presented a plan for raising money to help send a foreign student to Dartmouth. Tommy told us his daughter would be living on peanut butter if we didn't start getting reimbursed for our transportation to these meetings, but Jim Flynn announced that the treasury was in bad shape and produced the figures to convince us. In one room, the wives spoke of saving money, while in another room we spoke of collecting it and spending it. You will hear more from Russ about the details of our very enjoyable and productive evening.
Jim Flynn is the manager for budgeting and general accounting for Intertype Company, a division of Harris Intertype Corp., in Brooklyn. Wally Pugh finished Tuck in '57 and then served from 1957 to i960 with the Air Force. He studied at T.C.U. and Rutgers and is now with the Management Advisory Services Staff of Price Waterhouse, public accounting and management consulting firm, in New York City. Wally married Sybil Humphries of Corsicana, Texas, and a graduate of T.C.U., just over a year ago on March 5. George Yeager is an account executive for Franklin Cole Company, Investment Counselors, in New York. George finished Tuck in 1957 and worked two years for the New York Federal Reserve Bank, then eight months for his father's company, before taking his present position. Doug Keare is plant manager of the National Perforating Corporation plant in Clinton, Mass. Doug finished Tuck-Thayer in 1957 and attended the New School for Social Research for four months in 1959. He and Virginia Ann (Ginger) Clark were married that September and are now neighbors of the McKennas in Concord, Mass. Ginger K. reports that Lenand Lee Clark and their two-year-old daughter have recently arrived back east and are living in New Jersey.
At the end of February, I had the pleasant surprise of finding among the students waiting to see me, Charlie Soule, who could easily have passed for a sophomore in trouble for keeping a date in his room after hours! Charlie and Elna came up for a few days' break in the busy routine of raising a family of three, Kimberly, Chuck Jr., and Jonathan. Charlie has a good job under Frank L. Harrington '24 in the Massachusetts Protective Association of Worcester. He and Elna and their family live in Westboro, Mass. They paid a visit to the place where Wigwam Village once stood. Wigwam has given way to new dormitories and soon tennis courts and a football field. Perhaps there will be a monument erected some day in memory of those who braved the winters within those worn, not warm, wooden walls. The big event of the month of March was GordieLenci's and Margie Zellers' wedding, March 18, in Southport, Conn.
Here is a little news on some men neither Will nor I have said much about recently. I was amazed to see the number of men who went into banking. Recalling those rough eight o'clock sessions with the late Professor Bell in Money and Banking, I think this is a commendable record. These are all bankers.
Foster Aborn, who married Julika Tamm of Concord, N. H., in June, 1957, lives in Pittsburgh and is a credit analyst for the Mellon National Bank and Trust Company. Foster finished Tuck in '57 and has been with the Mellon Bank for two years. HowieSodokoff is a management trainee with the same bank. He married Lois Cohen of Jacksonville, Fla., a graduate of Ohio State; they have a year-old son, and also live in Pittsburgh.

Warren, unmarried, lives in Palatine, Ill. Another single man in the banking business is Dave Haight, with Fidelity Union Trust Company of Newark.

Who will forget the spell Chuck Henry used to cast upon us when he walked out of those Navy exams early and always came up with an A? Chuck was married to a Mt. Holyoke girl, Diane Dorcas of Denver, in August, 1957. He received an LL.B. from U. of Denver in '59 and then went to work for the Colorado National Bank in Denver as a Trust Administrator. Chuck and Diane are the proud parents of one-year-old Robert D. Eric Hvistendahl went on to get his Master's at Stanford Business School in '58. Eric married Sylvi Forsmo of Tonsberg, Norway, and is now the father of Marina, two, and Nanette, six months. He and his family live in Oslo where Eric is President of Norsk Handelskreditt (pronounce carefully), import-export and finance firm. Arnie Kroll finished Tuck and received a degree from Harvard Law School, spent a year and a half in the Army, and now is finishing his first year as a financial consultant with Lehman Brothers, investment bankers, in New York. Another single man, Bob McCausland is with the First National Bank of Jersey City and lives in New York.
