1942

This has been the most pleasant autumn in memory since leaving Hanover in 1952 - the second time around. Why must it end so soon? We must face the facts, however, and turn our attention to more serious business.

In the course of recent peregrinations, Dick Baldwin has contacted a fair percentage of our membership. Here is some of the information he has gleaned from unsuspecting classmates in the midwest. Catch- ing Bill Knoff before 8:00 a.m. all Dick could recall is Bill's association with PaperCalmenson Co. of St. Paul. George McClintock, of the law firm of Faegre and Benson, mentioned Cliff Robert's election some time ago to the presidency of Cargo Carriers, Inc. This is a subsidiary of Cargill, Inc., where Cliff had been a vice-president. Cargo Carriers' operations involve water transportation of grain. Bill Oppenheimer has moved from the field of labor relations and work on union contracts to the more peaceful undertaking of manager of the Insurance Department of Archer-Daniels-Midland Co., with which he has been associated for a number of years. A brief visit with KelleyWehnes produced the important fact that Kelley is a grandparent (Lipp, please note). Perhaps this prompted the Wehnes' summer trip to Paris and Italy. He is with Paine, Webber, Jackson, and Curtis in Minneapolis. John L. Brooks, formerly with General Mills, also is associated with the same brokerage firm. Dick also was in touch with Ed Sivright who transferred at the end of our sophomore year. He is engaged in group insurance and insurance for the professional field with the Caswell-Ross Agency. He and Nancy have three teen age daughters. All of these '42's are located in the Twin Cities area. Don Meads is busier than ever as vice-president of Investors Diversified Services and is enjoying this work more and more.

One final item from Dick, who ferrets out facts like Peter Gunn, is a pleasure to report. Dr. Joe Wilder, director of surgery at the Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York, was married in June to Cynthia Fay. Joe has just completed work on a textbook in surgery, entitled "Atlas of General Surgery," which will be released early next year.

Dr. Robert Klein has been named project director of an investigation to be made at Boston City Hospital into causes and cures of mysterious diseases which afflict children and about which the world knows little even though the diseases may be widespread. A $1.7 million federal grant has been made available to support this undertaking. Bob is a research professor of pediatrics at Boston University. He is a graduate of the Harvard Medical School and is living with his wife Celeste and three youngsters in Newton.

Dr. Dick Magee has been appointed to the advisory board of the Altoona Campus. He is filling a vacancy created by the death of his father. Dick earned his medical degree at the University of Pennsylvania. He is attending surgeon at the Altoona Hospital and is consultant at the Altoona Veterans Hospital and other hospitals in that area. The medics in our midst seem to be doing very nicely.

Pete and Doris Koelsch proudly announce the birth of Andrea, their fourth child and second daughter, born in August. Their eldest son, Bill, is a member of the Class of 1966.

Guy Swenson dropped a note, which surprisingly omitted any reference to class dues (now payable), but he did mention seeing Paul Costello, a successful pediatrician in Manchester, and Bob Blood. Bob was in Concord to attend a testimonial banquet for his father, former governor Robert O. Blood, who has practiced medicine in New Hampshire during the 50 years since he graduated from the Dartmouth Medical School.

As the gamut from minor triumphs to major achievements of a significant proportion of our number has been reported over the years (and undoubtedly there have been as many more successes of which word has not filtered down to your reporters) one clearly realizes that the Class has more than its share of talented, capable, ambitious, and successful individuals (as a matter of fact, aside from the writer I can recall no exceptions). How appropriate the statement, "Chance favors only those who know how to court her."
