1949

A couple of the lads have been in action raising funds for their communities' charities: Tom Huggins, Cheshire County Chairman for the New Hampshire Children's Aid Society fund raising drive; Jeff Mansfield, Chairman of the Towns Division for the United Fund campaign in greater Lowell, Mass. Tom and Jeft both are rather dedicated public servants, as borne out by an arm-long list of previous offices of civic responsibility. Tom is head of the sales promotion efforts of Markem Machine, a Keene, N. H., outfit that builds marking contraptions. Jeff is assistant treasurer of the Lowell Courier-Citizen company, newspaper publishers.

Joe Baker swings around the middle of the Eastern seaboard peddling for the Wiring Device Dept. of General Electric. Frances and the children Susan, Joan and Joe Jr. stay home in Levittown. Still a ski man, Joe slides in the Poconos, New York State, Vermont, and occasionally in Canada. Still a Naval Reservist of the active type, Joe apparently has a part-time job steering ships away from sand bars.

John Fitzgerald has been examined and found fit; therefore we have embraced him into the '49 fold. Seems he was flopping around between '49 and '5O, discovered where his true affection lay, and opted for us. Like welcome.

Charlie Barwis has been making landscaping his profession for many years and last summer opened up for himself down in Bucks County. The euphonious name of the outfit is Stone Mill Farms ... Landscape Contracting and Designing. How does that grab you? All Bucks County '49 estate owners, get ahold of our boy and have your piazza delineated with some high class vegetation. Charlie and Audrey have a houseful of kids: John fifteen, Greg fourteen, Charles eight, Paul five, and Louise, just a little one.

Lou Harris has emigrated from Denver to St. Paul, Minn. He is Commerce Counsel for the Northern Pacific Railway Co. Apparently Lou is big in something called transportation regulatory work, and Denver was small in this work. Therefore, off to one of the big roads, which is having its transportation regulated to the ears. Lou liking the work. He and Carol bought a home on White Bear Lake, a short shot from St. Paul's midsection. Kids: John seven, Ann six, Allan three.

Mike Marchese has mustered out of the Foreign Service and has settled down to lawyering for the Lincoln National Life Ins. Co. in Fort Wayne, Ind. The move is described by Mike as most important, the company as huge and austere. After a short period of home town type law practice in Springfield, Mass., our man yielded to the call of the Foreign Service. He went to Rio de Janeiro, as Political Officer in the embassy. While home on a holiday leave before taking up the job of vice consul in Belo Horizonte, also Brazil, he was shanghaied by the above insurance giant. Not turning away from the lure of the far away, though. We note his aside that he has a point holding on the expanding foreign activities of his company, the world's largest re-insurer. Mike declares the Dartmouth Club activity in Rio to have been excellent. Ellis O. Briggs, illustrious Dartmouth, was then Ambassador to Brazil.
