As I take pen in hand to compose these notes, the date is early April with just a promise of spring in the air. April is Cancer Control Month, and among my various items I find a picture of Carl Noyes, our hardworking banker in Manchester, N.H., who is serving as N.H. State Crusade Chairman.
But by the time you read this column, it will be well into May, and Boz Bosworth's team of Class Agents will be deep into their task of soliciting our contributions to this year's Alumni Fund. Having been deeply involved in this work myself, I know what responsibilities these men have accepted. Yet the College this year has more than 2500 alumni from all classes engaged in this undertaking. We ourselves can help reduce the work load by responding promptly to an agent's letter or call.
I tried to reach Boz when I was in Milwaukee recently, but no such luck. Boz and Marian were vacationing down in the Cayman Islands, a skin-diving and sit-in-the-sun expedition. He writes:
"While there, we had the delightful experience of spending four or five days with a National Geographic Society photographic team there on an assignment. We spent a couple of days with them on underwater photography and it didn't take long to conclude that I knew nothing about the underwater type or the above water type, either, for that matter.
"Marian flew home on the 20th and I went on to Boston for a hospital convention where I was fortunate in being able to get together for lunch with Class Agents Bib Bankart, Stan Berenson, Larry Brooks, and Charlie Pingree. Unfortunately, Monk Amon was away skiing and Dayt Morgan was away on business so I missed them. This group of six are all agents in the Boston area and will soon be pursuing the area classmates on this year's 'Keep Dartmouth Green - Send Money' campaign."
Bob Crawford has been elected president of the Glens Falls Insurance Co. of Glens Falls, N. Y., a firm he has been associated with since graduation. During the 24 years in which he advanced through the ranks of the company, Bob showed keen business ability. In 1955 he was appointed vice president of the insurance firm and last year was elected a director. At the same time, Bob was vice president of The National Life Assurance Company of Canada and a director of the Life Company, a member of the Glens Falls Group. He was elected to the latter position in February of this year. As he assumes his new post as president, the Class of '37 extends its hardiest congratulations.
Back in January, at about the time of the Boat Show in New York, a long feature article appeared in the Herald Tribune. Heading the piece was an airview of Hotaling Boat Yard, a huge marina on the New Jersey coast at Tom's River, two-and-a-half miles west of Barnegat Bay. Owner of this fine establishment is our own Chuck Hotaling. The present maTina will handle about 100 outboards and some 110 inboard, cruising or sail boats. But this spring, a new luxury marina is being opened, known as New Cedar Point marina, with an additional 224 slips. From what I hear, Chuck can supply you with anything you might possibly need. So any of you sailors who will be cruising off the New Jersey coast this summer, here is a port you might try.
The same day that the story on Chuck appeared, the New York Times ran a feature entitled "Bill Leonard in Action." I'll wager that a good many of us watched the C.B.S. Reports program in February on "The Care of the Boston Electra" without realizing that Bill was the producer of that show. After the crash last October, Bill spent many weeks conducting an intensive study of the tragedy in preparation for that program. Incidentally, Bill is a dedicated ham radio operator. Any of you who are similarly inclined might try to reach him at W2SKE which he operates in his Manhattan apartment.
Two brief items complete the column for the month. Mark Bowen, manager of the Washington, D. C., branch of Standard Accident Insurance Co., was recently honored as "Company Man of the Year" by the D. C. Association of Insurance Agents. Mark was cited for his efforts on behalf of the educational and insurance day programs of the agents' association and for his work in fostering cooperation and understanding in joint endeavors between the agents' association and the managers' association of which he is president. Incidentally, Mark is the fourth generation of his family to be associated with Standard Accident.
We have word that Bob Burns is moving to Milwaukee. Bob has been associated with General Electric Co. for nearly twenty years at their Lynn (Mass.) works. He has handled nearly all phases of industrial and community relations, and was named Manager, Employee and Plant Community Relations in 1954. He has resigned to accept the position of director of industrial relations with the Joseph E. Schlitz Brewing Co. in Milwaukee.
