1946
Dear Gang —
President John Dickey visited Cincinnati last Saturday, and yours truly attended the enrollment meeting and luncheon. That evening the Dartmouth Glee Club was here in Dayton and we certainly enjoyed seeing and hearing Paul Zeller and his boys perform at a concert-dance at our Biltmore Hotel. In addition to getting a lot out of the meeting and certainly enjoying John Sloan, I ran into several 46's - Old pogo Johnny Steele was there. John, as you know, is in the cement and builders supply business in Cincinnati, and his firm "Hilltop Concrete" has yards and offices all over southwestern Ohio. In fact, the company is one of the higgest of its kind in the Cincinnati-Dayton area, and John is doing a marvelous job in administrating this very sizable business - Jimmy Pettit, who has been in Cincinnati for several years was there, and seems to be prospering as a pharmaceutical house representative. Jim gets up to Dayton occasionally "peddling those pills" and promised to call me. He has been very active for the class as an assistant class agent and might be calling or writing one of you in the very near future about the alumni fund - Dr. Clay Sikes was there, and we hadn't seen him for many years — he looked tanned and rested having just returned from a Florida sojourn. Clay is practicing in Cincinnati and has done so for a number of years after finishing up med school at the University of Cincinnati, after his first two years at Dartmouth. He brought us up to date on several other 46's, including: Dave Blankenborn, a former Cincinnatian and buddy of Clay's, has his M.D. in internal medicine and is teaching at the U.C.L.A. Med School in Los Angeles; Ed Brunhoff has done quite well as a manufacturer's rep up in Grand Rapids where he has been for some time, and Eddie Kuhn, the old boxer and Marine, is at Random House in New York City - evidently Ed has been with the well-known publishing firm since he got out of the service. Another Cincinnati '46 who came up for the Glee Club concert was Bill Flatt; he is in the advertising business in the Queen City. Bill's wife is quite a gal, as she has her M.D. degree and teaches radiology at the University of Cincinnati Medical School - another old familiar face at the luncheon was Bill Portman '45 and his lovely wife Joan. Bill and Joanie are back in Cincinnati after several years in Cleveland, and Bill has his own materials handling business and acts as a manufacturer's agent. Bill has been in this line of work for quite some time and worked for other organizations before getting into business for himself.
NAMES IN THE NEWS
C. Welles Fendrich Jr. - known to a lot of you as Chuck — is certainly moving up the ladder fast. Chuck has recently been named manager of market planning for the B. F. Goodrich Industrial Products Com- pany up in Akron. He was formerly director of marketing research for the Walworth Company in N.Y.C., a manufacturer of industrial valves and controls. Previously he held other industrial marketing and sales engineering posts with firms in New York, Detroit and Chicago. After Dartmouth and Tuck, Chuck spent some time at the N.Y.U. Graduate School of Business Administration and served Uncle Sam's Navy, aboard an LCI, during W.W. 11. Chuck is a member of the American Marketing Association, and lives not far from his base of operations in the Akron area. Congratulations, Chuck! - the mailbag this month brings a nice letter from Bud Scheu, whom we have reported on in other issues of the Mag. He writes that Molly and his children are fine and that they are doing a lot of things together. This winter, for example, they did some skiing and have gotten especially interested in the development of Stratton Mountain where he says they hope to build a chalet this summer. Bud occasionally runs into Reg and Nance Pierce, and also saw his old roommate, Dr. Nick Vorys, that "handsome obstetrician" from Columbus - nice to hear from you, Bud.
CLASS DUES
A nice note this month from your treasurer Andy Murtha asking me to give a plug for the non-dues payers. Some of you who have been regulars in the past haven't sent the five-spot in, and we know that there are a few who have just forgotten - don't forget that the $5 includes a year's subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE which costs at least $4. Won't you help Andy out by sending this off right away - if you haven't already done so. We do need the money and would like to hit our goal of 500 duespayers this year. Along this line I would like to quote anonymously a letter Andy recently received with a dues check from one of our classmates. It is letters like this that makes believing in and working for Dartmouth worthwhile.
Sorry I am late with dues this year — but unfortunately it seems to be standard operating procedure. I remember our happy days at Dartmouth and count my blessings for the opportunities provided me as a result of this association with a truly wonderful college. The Navy has continued to be kind to me - selected for Commander this year - serving my 22nd year - strange how old it makes me feel when college seems like yesterday.
Andy also sent along a note from June, Judge Clark's wife. Major Clark, as some of you know, is still in the Marine Corps, and has been in Okinawa since last July. They will be back in July of this year and they then will go to Leavenworth, Kan., where he will be a student at the Command and General Staff School for ten months - nice to hear from them. ... Andy and June and their tribe spent a delightful two weeks in Bermuda in March, where they rented a cottage on the beach from a friend of RegPierce's.
