1958
From Frischie's last letter on our reunion plans, it looks as though we will have a real good turn-out. Remember the reunion dates - June 20-23, and let Dick know you'll be there.
The only nuptial announcement this month is that of the engagement of Dr.Arthur J. Neiterman to Judith Seligman. Art is a resident in internal medicine at the Boston Veteran's Administration Hospital, and they are planning their wedding for July 3.
News comes from Ellsworth, Me., that Rev. David C. Glendinning held his first service at St. John's Episcopal Church, South-West Harbor, and St. Andrew's by the Lake in Seal Cove. Since graduation from Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Mass., he has been curate of Trinity Episcopal Church in Portland, Me., for two years. Along with his new responsibilities at St. John's and St. Andrew's, Dave will also serve as director of youth work for the Episcopal Diocese of Maine. Good luck, Dave.
Jay A. Clark has recently joined the National Bank of Westchester (N. Y.) as assistant advertising and public relations manager. Jay is currently living in Tuckahoe.
Louis J. Vallone has been appointed counsel in the legal services unit of the division of public assistance for the Social Welfare Department of Rhode Island. He is living in Warwick at the present time.
Rod Frates of Oklahoma City has been very active in the Jaycee international organization. Recently he was a member of a committee which visited Paris, San Juan, and Hong Kong to select the site for the international convention. He presently represents Oklahoma on the board of directors of the Jaycees International and is on the economic commission of the U. S. Jaycees. He is credited with being the originator of the Foreign Visitors Commission for the Jaycees.
Dartmouth's Russian Civilization Department announced the choice of six Dartmouth men to participate in a new Russian Foreign Study Plan. Among them is Robert J. Farrell of New Brunswick, N. J. He will spend six weeks at a summer course in Russian studies in Munich, travel for six weeks in Poland and Russia under auspices of the Experiment in International Living, and spend two months in Munich in the fall doing supervised research and study at one of the leading contemporary Russian libraries in Western Europe. During the last two months Bob will live with a Russian family in Munich.
Art Raybin has returned to Wheaton College as Director of Development and Public Relations after a three-year stay in New York City as director of publications at Yeshiva University. Art served as director of public information for the Massachusetts women's college from 1958 through 1960 before leaving for the Yeshiva post. His work at Wheaton will include long-range planning of financial resources, supervision of the Wheaton Fund, and general responsibility for publications.
A letter from Bill Hartley informs us that he is leaving San Diego and heading East. On May 13, he expects to join the New York staff of the Wall Street Journal. Since he got out of the Navy in 1961, he has been with the San Diego Evening Tribune and became military writer a year ago. He's looking forward to joining the many other 58's in the Big City. Bill sends news of Pete Crane who just left San Diego aboard the carrier "Coral Sea" for a seven-month cruise of the Western Pacific. Pete is with a detachment of Light Photographic Squadron 63, usually based at Miramar Naval Air Station flying the Crusader jet.
Understanding my plea for first-hand ma- terial, Kit Cowperthwaite sent a long newsy letter telling of his experiences in Munich in the office of the Staff Judge Advocate at Headquarters, Southern Area Command. He relates, "After a month or so, I was given my principal assignment within the section, that of Legal Assistance Officer. In this capacity, I'm primarily responsible for advising military personnel in this part of Germany on tax matters, domestic relations, wills and estate planning, insurance, property law and claims. In addition to this and various other subsidiary duties, I frequently find myself in the military justice section acting as defense counsel on general courts martials." Kit seems quite happy with his work as well as his location in Munich; for gaiety as well as culture and beauty it can't be beat — and of course the skiing is tops.
There are several births to announce. Ralph Manuel is the proud father of a son, Mark Andrew, born Feb. 20 in Hanover. Doug Pease Jr. also has a new son, born February 11. Dick and Nan Stoddard acquired an heir, Richard S. 11, born on March 25, while Joe and Mary Beth Kabat announced the birth of their daughter, Stasia Ann. born March 26. Bob and Salty Gebhardt sent word of the arrival of Robert Jr., born March 10. Congratulations all.
A mouth-watering picture postcard of Val d'Isere came from Walt Yusen, sending his "regards to all 58's from high in the French Alps." He's looking forward to seeing all at reunion. So am I; see you there!
