1949
It's high time I reminded you all of October 12, 1963. That is the date for the annual 1949 gathering in Hanover. Dartmouth night the Brown football game, the height of New England foliage, and your friends these are the come-ons. Dwelling on the beautiful colors through which leaves decay at a time when they are just coming out may seem rushing matters, but plans do have to be made. Limiting Hanover visits to once every five years is for the birds. If you haven't seen the Hopkins Center, this alone is worth the trip. If you have seen it, you probably are already persuaded to make the expedition. Further reason for planning ahead: reserve a place to stay.
One of the finest helping out projects: the "SS Hope," medical ship that sails to different sad spots to offer privately financed medical instruction, aid, advice. Our Dick Elliott, pediatrician from Plymouth, Mass., did a tour with the Hope to ports in southeast Asia. He was senior medical officer of the operation. Indonesia, South Viet Nam, were principal stops. Dick hopes to return for another stint with the ship one day.
Jack McCurdy is on the move again. From Hanover, where he was in the financial aid office, Jack moves to Boston and a position as divisional merchandise manager with the R. H. Stearns department store (the same sort of position he formerly held with the family store, McCurdy and Co., here in Rochester).
A 1 Wagner and Dick Banfield, our Treasurer and Head Agent, represented the class at the annual May Day meeting of the Dartmouth Class Officers, in Hanover. Zeiser was laid up with his bum back and Struever was asleep.
Jack Whelden took his bride, Freda Ozone of Damascus, Syria, May 5, just as we foretold. Newton, Mass., will be their home.

John Sweetland, our hospital consultant, is now a member of the James A. Hamilton Associates consulting firm and has just hit Greenfield, Mass., as a member of the team studying a big new construction there. Call John if you want to build a hospital. He has taught the subject at Univ. of Minn, you will remember, and is now putting his lessons to work.
Bob Berg, Pediatrician-in-Chief, Beth Israel Hosp., Boston. Bob has moved to Newton (33 Washington Street).
Guy Busch is now in Technical Sales Dept. of Morningstar-Paisley, Inc., Portland, Ore. We shall send Nicholson over to report on what this company does, since we don't seem to know. Nice sounding name, though.
Ritchie Hunt has a real blisterer for his new title, to wit: Senior Multiple Lines Underwriter of the Metro Division, the Atlantic Companies, Wall Street.
Expatriate note: Bill Johns, our South American representative, is now in the Singer Sewing Machines in Mexico. Send the mail this way: Controller-Treasurer W. A.

Ray Rasenberger has transmigrated to 6209 Stardust Lane, Bethesda, Md. Ray and Nancy are making so many kids and doing so well at the law profession that a new house was the only thing to do.
Another Insurance Advancement Note: Ken Soule has been made Manager, Fire & Marine Agency Dept., Travelers Ins. Co., 11l Washington Ave., Albany, N. Y. Ken and Martha live in the suburb of Guilderland. Lot #136, Pine Ridge Drive. From the format of the address I assume that they are still tenting out waiting for completion of the house, so wait a little bit before calling.
