1958

By the time this column goes to press for the final edition of the season, I should be somewhere in Germany attempting to resolve some of the Army's legal problems. It somehow seems unfair that the column should be abandoned in midstream like this, however, I feel sure that the ALUM MAG will again carry the '58 news come next fall. It's been a real pleasure for me to keep you abreast of the latest '58 happenings the past four years.

Last of the weddings to report this season includes that of Dick Pew and Julia Emerson of Portland, Me., on April 1. The couple now live in Norfolk, Va. Also married on April 1 were Dan Latimore and Susan Wiener of Pelham, N. Y. Married late in March in Amsterdam, N. Y., were Allen Pulsifer and Jacqueline Johnson. Allen's now a chemical engineering research assistant at Syracuse University.

Engaged we find Henry Reilly and Jean Noble of Melrose, Mass. An August wedding is planned for Bob Portland and Ida Franch of New Canaan, Conn. Bob's employed by Bell Telephone in Philadelphia as an electrical engineer although he's now serving a six-month stint with the Army. Planning to be married in July are JohnSeabury and Nancy Belmont of Winnetka, Ill. Looking forward to their June 16 wedding in Middlebury, Conn., are Hoyt Goodrich and Sara Kellogg. Hoy's with Aetna Life Insurance Co. in Hartford.

Time to notice a couple of new '58 arrivals: Born on Feb. 16 to John and Kim Whiteley - Andrew Scott Whiteley, a likely 1984 prospect. Next in line comes young Miss Kathryn Jean Sharrock, born to the David Sharrocks on March 6.

Serving his internship year in internal medicine at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis will be Stu Kornfeld, who will receive his M.D. in June from Washington University Med School. Following his graduation in June from the University of Rochester Med School, John Devanny will begin his internship year in straight surgery at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.

Harry Dodds sends greetings from his post in Kaduna, Nigeria where he is a member of the Administrative cadre of the Region with the official position of Assistant Commissioner for Native Courts. As I understand it, his principal activity involves the implementing of reforms which were made in the Nigerian Penal Code from 1959 on. A brief excerpt of Harry's letter follows:

"Now that I have been transferred to Kaduna, the majority of time will be spent in touring the provinces and tending administrative fires in the office. I've taken a couple of inspection trips already. In a few days, I will be setting off with the Commissioner for what is now called Sardauna Province ... it should be an interesting journey as it will take us to some of the more remote areas in the Region. . . . Even the Twist is out here - with all the variations!"

Somewhat in line with Harry's type of work comes news that Sumner Sharpe is working as a Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand. The group of which Sumner's a member is apparently enjoying some success in its efforts to assist Thailand's educational program as a much larger group is now planning to join the initial contingent in that country.

Hope you have a happy and successful summer. In the meantime, I urge you to relay all your news to Mitch who may see fit to publish a "Sound and Fury" sometime this summer.
