1949
Bob Magown has been promoted to chicken colonel in the Air National Guard. He is commander of the Rhode Island ANG's 143rd Troop Carrier Group, Medium. Also base operations supervisor in the Air Technical Detachment of the Air Guard at Hillsgrove, R.I. Whenever he gets loose of all these duties he goes home to Warwick, where Shirley and the kids are waiting.
John Whelden has a bride signed up for May marriage. Miss Freda Ozone is her name, and she is a native of Damascus, Syria. She graduated from the British Lebanese College in Beirut, has been in this country since 1959. John is making electronics for Raytheon; he is a components engineer.
Dick Hoar is doing some good with the coins you put into the March of Dimes banks. He was cited by the National Foundation for his work at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center (where he is assistant professor of anatomy) on birth defects. He produced defective piglets by injecting pregnant guinea pigs with certain hormones, or by removing the adrenal glands that produce the same hormone, thus proving something or other about the importance of hormonal balance during pregnancy.
Paul Bjorklund, easily distinguished as the only FBI man in the class of '49 to turn dentist, has set up shop at 105 Washington Drive, Huntington Beach, N.Y. Paul and Virginia had two kids when last we checked up.
Major Dave Vogels has another medal to add to a most impressive collection of awards for service to the nation. In World War II he received the Distinguished Flying Cross and two Air Medals, among others, and most recently he was the recipient of the United States Air Force Commendation Medal in "recognition of his meritorious service as a B-52 aircraft navigator." Dave also has academic degrees of impressive note. He spent the year after Dartmouth at Harvard Law before being recalled to active duty in 1950. Since that date he has remained on duty but has still earned his M.B.A. at Syracuse University and his LL.B. at St. Mary's University in Texas. Dave and Mary have three sons.
John Dahle has moved his lawyering from Duluth, Minn., out west to Denver. He has been made a partner in Grant, Shafroth et al.
Bob DeForest is still in military medicine. From doing research in acceleration at the Navy Aero Medical Center, he has become Chief of dependent medical section, National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda. If anybody knows what that is, speak up.
Jack English. No longer in Malibu. Get him now on Sunset Boulevard (#8423) in LA. One of our two musicians (with long hair Gottschalk) English has a thin dossier. We suspect his music is still of an earthy nature; welcome further reports.
George Hartmann has a promotion at GE. Now down at Hendersonville, N.C. (he-was, among other GE outposts, at Burlington, Vt.), George is Manager of Materials at whatever GE plant is in Henderson.
Ort Hicks is still flacking for the USIA. Now in Darmstadt, Germany, at the Amerika Haus. He is Executive Director of the German-American Institute.
Staff Keegin has moved out of Chicago to Mt. Prospect. In the absence of information to the contrary, we assume he is still selling fiber glass for Pittsburgh Plate.
Dick McFalls has been going ever farther west. From Nebraska State Teachers College he has taken up his work at Riverside City College in Riverside, Calif. Philip Wheelwright, star philosopher back in our days, is a big official at the Univ. of Cal. branch in Riverside.
