1942
A most welcomed and informative letter from Ad Winship, Special Class Delegate in Hanover, is the source (verbatim) of this column:
In spite of my vantage point m Hanover and involvement with Dartmouth affairs, I've been lax in posting our class scribe on the '42s I've seen or otherwise have news of. The attached note about Bud Forte's nephew prompts me to action. ("Reb" Forte '65 was one of eight freshmen to achieve a perfect 5.0 in the fall term.)
Working from memory, classmates at the recent Boston Alumni Association banquet included Andy Wood, Braintree neighbors Al Miller and Bob Burdett, Ed Hawkridge,Ira Berman, Paul Breck and your writer. A small but distinguished gathering which missed many of the old guard of other years. Next day I lunched with Dick Lee, operator of many ventures but still hanging his hat at Diamond-Union Stamp Works.
Bob Strasenburgh's embryonic and hardworking Class Gifts Committee has met twice in New York recently with Stras, Warren Kreter, Rusty Hartranft, Dick Lippman, Class Chairman Bob Kirk and me converging on the new Dartmouth Club for an afternoon appraising '42's philanthropic potential. I occasionally spy Rollie Tremble across the dining room at the Club, usually busy with his new customers or associates of Consolidated Electronics Industries Corporation. Recently visited Hal Eckardt at his office and enjoyed his showroom tour of the world's finest in Christmas decorations. Within the past few months I've lunched with Bucky Strader and Don Meads in the course of pursuing College business.
Recent visitors to Hanover include Boband Patti Buckalew, here to show the College to their '67 aspirant. Bob Strasenburgh,Phil Moon and Ed Spiegel were in town in late January for Alumni Council meetings and contributed largely to a late session at the Winships, which was ok except that Father had to coach pee-wee hockey at 6:30 a.m. Phil looks just like the successful banker he is within the National Bank of Detroit, and mostly acts like one except at 3:00 a.m. Ed can be found most anywhere in the country as emissary for Gaylord Container, and as proof I once found him in an elevator at the Biltmore.
Expected in Hanover this spring on various missions are Kent Barclay on an official visitation from Ford Motor Company, Jim Ingersoll with family looking over the Eastern college circuit, and Joe and Anne Palamountain as guests of the new Dartmouth Horizons program.
Dick Burns, sales manager for J. F. McElwain Shoe of Nashua, gets to New York frequently enough, as I obviously do, for us to have met by accident twice recently, at LaGuardia and at the Palm Court. Mae andBob Taylor are still in the running for baby derby honors, their 1962 edition being number six.
Of the local contingent, Ed Leonard is busily engaged at the Hanover Schools preparing the local crop of college aspirants for the tough competition ahead. Dick Cardozo, of our famed Hitchcock Clinic, I see in church. (Editor's note: Commendable.) Wally and Barb Farr are in and out of Hanover regularly from Bradford, Vt. Last summer it was our pleasure to visit them and their house guests, Frank and Joan White from Indiana, at the Farr's summer home on Lake Morey. Al and Bobbie Britton brighten up the town regularly. (Editor's note: Ad obviously is referring to Bobbie.) Jim Farley, from down the road a bit, has crossed my path just once —at the local airport.
On my occasional stops in Concord I see Treasurer Guy Swenson, who reports that Ira Herman's stewardship has almost made his job easy. (Editor's note: Wish I could say the same of Dick Baldwin.) Lastly, Jim Underwood, osteopath in Fort Lauderdale, writes in behalf of a prospective '67 and sounds like life in Florida agrees with him.
(Editor's note: My sincere thanks, Ad. I have enjoyed the change and the news, and am sure the Class will add its Amen.)
