1957

As the leaves grow golden and fall from the trees and the air becomes a little more crisp, Hope, Karen, and I will head back to the land of the big city where seasons make little or no difference. It will be a sad thing not to be able to stroll down to the pond and test the fish lure a few times before dinner. It is really quite interesting and, most importantly, it gives you a chance to think things over for yourself quietly, rather than in a giant hubbub. Oh well, so much for living in New Hampshire.

In the engagement column the tallest news of the summer is the engagement of Jim Francis to Miss Marylou Sullivan. Jim, as you know, is out on the west coast playing serious basketball. Jim's bride is an alumna of St. Rose Academy and the Univ. of San Francisco School of Nursing. Frank Nardine and Miss Elisabeth McElvenny have announced their engagement. Frank is a research assistant at Harvard and a candidate for his doctorate while his fiancee has just received her master's from Harvard.

The summer produced a large number of trips to the altar for this rapidly aging class. Tom Trainor and Miss Paula Magee were married on June 23. Tom, who received his master's in history from B.U., is a history teacher and assistant football coach at the Winthrop, Mass., High School. Larry Selig and Miss Margaret Howarth were married early in July. Larry has received his bachelor of divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary and is now the assistant minister of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in West Hartford, Conn. Bob Porter was married in Garden City, N. Y., to Miss Amelie Wallace and they are now living in Fort Monmouth, N. J., where Bob is on active duty with the Army Signal Corps Laboratory. In Waltham, Frank Mooney and Miss Helen Malafey were married on June 9. The Mooneys are now living near Boston where Frank is a manufacturer's representative for Lundey's Sales Corp.

Dr. Jay Carroll and Miss Carol Gibeault were married early in July. The new Mrs. Carroll is a graduate of the Albany Medical Center School of Nursing while her husband, a graduate of Albany Medical College, is serving his surgical residency at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, where they now live. Wow, that was a long sentence. Tony Hess and Miss LaVee Bailey were married May 4, at the Ft. Douglas Post Chapel, Salt Lake City, Utah. Don Cowlbeck, the esteemed inventor of the tame cocktail olive (or was it onion?), and Miss Joan Studdiford plan (but probably are at this time) to be married and live in New York where Don is with Louis de Rochemont Associates. Don recently received his doctorate from Princeton.

In Boston, Miss Sandra Clarholm and Stan Juthe were married during April in a wedding where George Southwick was best man. Hanny Mason and Miss Patricia A. Thomas were married in Grosse Pointe, Mich., and are living near there now (so I hear) while Hanny works for Marshall Field & Co. Bill Laverty and Miss Carol Rand were married in Rye, N. Y. Bill and his wife are now living in Cambridge, Mass., where Bill is completing his doctoral thesis at MIT. Dr. Larry Lebow and Miss Susan Lowy were married in Orange, N. J. Larry received his medical degree from NYU School of Medicine and is presently a resident in internal medicine at Montefiore Hospital in New York. See, there were a lot of trips to the altar. Last, but certainly not the least of these was the joint trip made by Miss Carolyn Salminen and Mr. B. Brand Konheim. After a wedding trip to Brazil, Bud and his wife will live in New York.

Dr. and Mrs. Bill Gallagher have announced the birth of their first child, Maura Elizabeth, on June 28. Bill, a graduate of Harvard Med. School, had served his residency at Bellevue in NYC, and is now stationed at the U.S. Naval Academy.

In the general area of "doing other things" Jim Taylor is attending the Naval School of Aviation Medicine in Pensacola. At the completion of the course Jim will be designated a Naval flight surgeon and will serve with an aviation unit either at a Naval air station or aboard a carrier. Phil Rollins announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination as State Representative. I don't know the outcome of the primary but Phil promised "a blistering campaign in an attempt to return decent, honest government to Massachusetts." The Reverend ChicShaver has been made the minister of the Church of the Nazarene in Kansas City, and has recently conducted services at Bethany Nazarene College in Bethany, Okla. Lester Little received his Ph.D. degree from Princeton and is at present an instructor in history at Princeton. John Hewett recently graduated from Harvard B. School and is now an investment analyst for Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. in Boston. Prior to returning to school John spent three years in the Army as an instructor in clinical psychology at the Army Medical School at Ft. Sam Houston, in Texas.

Well, gang, by the time you and I meet again I will be away from ski country and hopefully will see a lot of you at the Princeton-Dartmouth Game. Until then, Hope and I wish all- of you a Happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful fall season.

Best, Skip.
