Howdy do. Gents. Did you all have a nice summer?? Did you all go to Granny’s and eat watermelon? Did you study your lessons so you will all be ready for school, or did you stay out all night, waste money and be totally unproductive like all the rest of us? I thought so. I have reams of news to pass on to you, so much that I will probably have to save some of it for next time. Seems whenever it rolls around to column writin’ time the ship decides to go bye-bye so here I am trying to come up with ideas while trying to keep down my lunch.
Marriage Mart: Jamelle Ann O’Connell and Larry Cantley got together last June as reported earlier. Miss Patricia Gifford and Frank Small were married on June 26 in New York. Miss Joan Starobin and JimWatson came through as predicted and were wed last June in Mamaroneck. Wats and the Mrs. lit off for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands for a combination work and play honeymoon. Jim was doing research in P.R. for a new musical that Lenny Bernstein is contemplating stressing the problems of a young Puerto Rican boy who falls in love with an American tourist girl who’s staying at the Caribe Hilton. Ann Tilton and A 1Ward were wed in June at Worcester. I was fortunate enough to receive a photo of the bride in full regalia along with the story and the combination of pretty girl and beau- tiful gown was something. How ugly A 1 Ward ever did so v/ell is beyond me. PeteHanaucr and Bill Sheehan attended Al. Miss Nancy Holmes and Glenn Goodale betrayed the Auld Sod by getting married at Smith, Nancy’s alma mater. Glenn was a good fella though and I don’t think we should hold it against him (even if he is henpecked). It took a lot of traveling to do it, but BobRundel finally let himself get caught by Miss Helen Mary Hippensteele and they were married in June. The couple is now living in Seattle. Miss Kathleen McGirr and Oak Winters became man and wife on June 23 in Haverhill. Oak is studying at Har- vard’s School of Education. Oak was at- tended by Tom Gray and Hank Parker, both 62’s from the big D. Caroline Irene Cole was married on June 16 to Eric Lar-sen. Frank Crouse helped shove Eric up the aisle. Eric and his wife are at Western Re- serve studying medicine.
June 24 marked the great day for Miss Jane Helen Berenson and Herb Kessler. They were married in NYC and have since moved uptown a bit where Herb is at Co- lumbia. Miss Mary Cotter and Paul Fee were wed in Evanston last June. The news- paper account reported a large reception held at the Evanston Golf Club. I would be willing to bet that Fee is so socially inept that he probably took off. leaving poor Mary to greet the guests whilst he squeezed in a fast round. And with Jim Wallquist and Mike Coffield of the class of ’62 there to help him, he probably played 36. Peer and Mary will be living in Cincinnati. Heinz has finally done it! In one of the longest ro- mances in history, Ron Heinemann has fi- nally stopped avoiding the inevitable and he and Miss Sandra Wood were married last summer. Gail Mary Leßlanc and TomMealey were married on June 16. Tom is in the Navy and I imagine he and Gail will be running up and down the East Coast chasing ships for the next two years or so. MikeKirst and Ron Wybranowski attended JimDeLong when he married Miss Kate War- ren on June 30. The couple will live in Georgetown, Colo. And here’s a pretty re- cent one: on August 25 Miss Jean Marie Gorenflo married Ron Forbes in Buffalo. The news is so fresh that I don’t even know where the Forbeses are now, but as soon as I find out I’ll let you know (thassa hint, Ron). Our noble treasurer, Hop Holmberg, who is now studying hospital administration at Johns Hopkins, married Miss Judith Van- dell in Baltimore on August 23. I was sup- posed to go, but the ship picked that time to change locations. The Holmbergs will continue to live in Baltimore. Lament young ladies the Mankato Mauler is gone!
Now I have some predictions and “Soon- To-Be’s” for you-all. Miss Barbara Ellen Cain is engaged to “Winter Carnival” Manske; Miss Gay Tabibian and Bob “Ot-ter” Anderson are engaged; as are Miss Erica Simms and Bruce Forester. I think that John Mclntyre and Miss Dorothy Mary Doherty have been married by press time as they were scheduled to do so in late July according to my nifty News Service. John plans to go to law school after serving out his tour in the Army. Oops, forgot a most important wedding. The clipping blew on the floor, but I retrieved it and learned that Miss Judith Anne Enright and Mr. RobertDaly were married on June 23 in New Jer- sey. Bob is in the Air Force and will be at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico with his bride. Dartmouth’s answer to Chesty Puller, Lee Heap, is engaged to Miss Mary Jean McEwen. Lee is playing Marine at Quantico.
Now for some shorties about our noble bachelors. Doug Zipes will be at Harvard Med this year. Rough Rog McArt, our fine class agent, has gone and won himself a fellowship to study at Stanford. Dan Tracy was awarded the Haskins and Sells award for excellence in accounting at Tuck. PeteHolbrook, who was underground while I was searching the bistros of Paris for him, has come up again and with an award in his artistic little hand. Pete has won the Max Beckman Scholarship to study at the Brooklyn Museum Art School. Pete is also being exhibited in Mt. Kisco. Bruce Calla-han found Guana!!! You may recall my im- mense concern over the location of that lovable little beast and my fears that she had accompanied Gillespie to Ghana, but all is well. She is riding herd on them big bad bulls at Marty Judd’s spread in Texas. Bruce also reported having seen John Ratigan and Dirty Dennis Regan in Europe.
Jim and Garth Ritter are the parents of a little male Ritter critter name of Jeffrey Ty. “Shop” Richards was released by the Army and is now working in Galveston. “Pitts” is gone, vanished without a trace. Callahan himself will be booking it up at Harvard Bus. Frierson and Coodale got all trained up to be Army-type ossifers at Fort Benning. Paul Shaman won a fellowship for studying at Columbia next year. Dave Smith has landed a choice position with Cummins Engine Company of Columbus, Ohio. KeithOber will be teaching Mathematics at Wil- liamstown, Vt., this year. Dave Wanio re- ceived his master’s in science education from Syracuse. Jerry Scott has joined the plant engineering department of Monsanto in Soda Springs, Id. Don Schramm has been selected from applicants from all parts of the U.S. to serve as a teacher in Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda and Zanzibar in East Africa this year.
And that’s about it. I am sorry that I didn’t elaborate too much on the plans and locations, etc., of the newlyweds, and also that of good old stags, but there was so much stuff to say, and the ship is so hot, and I want a nice cool Officers Club so bad, ... I just couldn’t handle it. Ashes on my head. I have one funny that I would like to pass along. It isn’t original and I forgot where I heard it, so no by-lines. Seems there were these two young, attractive ladies perched on their desks in the large, ultra- modern office where they worked. One was heard to say, dejectedly, “About the only way to get noticed in this office is to bend your IBM card.” A fine comment on our way of life in these IBMett times.
Two of the four-man Indian contingenttraining for careers in foreign trade atthe American Institute for Foreign Tradeare Morris Feldman '6O (I) and Bob Berg'59. Carl Craft ’6l and Hal Locker ’6lalso won their BFT degrees.
