1945

Proof that long-lost '45 sheep do return to the fold is the pleasant letter that I received from the West Coast and Gregg MacDonald. Seems that Gregg visited Philadelphia last summer and had his faith in 45 restored by Bob and Sue Collins. Now in Seattle as President of D. K. MacDonald and Co., an insurance brokerage with offices in Juneau, Alaska, Spokane, Portland, and San Francisco, Gregg is deeply involved in the Century 21 Exposition scheduled to open on April 21 of 1962. He is serving under Ned Skinner '42, vice-president of Century 21 and chairman of the Underwriting Committee, as vice-chairman of said committee. Gregg urges all Dartmouth people and especially Class of 1945 who plan to visit the "show" to give him a call at MAin 4-7900, suggesting that if he can be of any service to them he will be glad to. This offer does not include finding them rooms, although Gregg says he has a large front lawn and a reasonably-sized recreation room, both of which will hold innumerable sleeping bags. So if you are planning a trip to Seattle's Century 21 Exposition, give Gregg a call and renew old times. And Gregg, thanks very much for the letter; and BarneyOldfield thanks you for the check.
BOXING THE COMPASS, we find '45s in all manner of places and involved in all manners of things. For instance, Dick Johnson has been elected Chairman of the Woburn, Mass., School Board for the year 1961. Dick is associated with the law firm of Johnson and Johnson of Woburn and has been active in civic affairs for some time. He is married and has five children. Dr. Bob Joy, attending pediatrician at the Dinbury (Conn.) Hospital, served as a panel member for the First Universalist-Unitarian Church's "The American Family" series. He spoke on "Children and the Family." Bob, as you may remember, was graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, McGill University, and in addition to his practice in pediatrics in Danbury is clinical instructor in Pediatrics at Yale Medical School. The Scofield Insurance Agency of Greenwich, Conn., has appointed HowieBurdick Jr. to the position of office manager. Howie recently graduated from the University of Connecticut's fire and casualty insurance course and besides his insurance license holds a real estate broker's license. Ed Davin recently served as moderator for a panel discussion on Cuba and Cuban affairs sponsored by the Benedictine Heights College Friends of the Library in Tulsa, Okla. Ed is senior research geo-physicist with Jersey Production Research Co., a graduate of M.I.T. as well as Dartmouth, and recently went to Tulsa after twelve years in Venezuela. The Summit, N. Y., law firm of Bourne, Schmid, Burke and Noll has announced the admission of Wallace W. Barnes as a member of the firm. Wally, a Yale Law School graduate, was admitted to 'the New Jersey Bar in 1952, and is a Major in the Judge Advocate General's Corps branch of the United States Army Reserve. Russ Chase received a "big spread" in a paper industry magazine recently which covered his experiences in the Army Air Corps, his marriage to Faye (incidentally Faye is the only married gal to be named "Queen of the Snows" at the Dartmouth Winter Carnival), and his meteoric career with International Paper Co. where RUss is now manager of Publication Sales. Sort of gave me that "proud to know him" feeling. In early March, The Armed Forces Industrial College in Washington, D. C., was addressed by Professor Elliot R. Goodman of Brown University on the subject of "Soviet International Objectives." Elliot is the author of "The Soviet Design for a World State," a book that attracted considerable comment when it was published last year. Ray Fontana, Western Massachusetts aid to Governor Volpe, recently spoke at the Young Republican Club of Springfield. And that's what some of the boys are doing here and there. How about you? We'd all like to know.
See you in June when I will have a report on 1945's spring meeting in Boston, Executive Committee, that is; and a brief rundown of the Class Officers annual get-together in Hanover. In the meantime, keep the dollars rolling in. Dartmouth needs your support.
