1933

So far as I know Bill Gillies was the only member of '33 who attended the Alumni College in Hanover last August. Quoting Bill's letter: "It was a very fine experience. Just think of Ike opportunity to hear and learn from some of Dartmouth's finest faculty members and spend two weeks on the Hanover Plain as a plus factor. I can tell you Dartmouth is a great college. I am already signed up for next year. Wouldn't miss." With Bill's recommendation perhaps others, of you will want to consider this for the summer of 1965.

Two of my most loyal correspondents are Gay Milius and Page Worthington. The last month has brought me notes from both or them. Gay reports still being in Norfolk where he is spending a lot of time in amateur theatricals and as I have told you several times in the past, he is very active in ham radio. He now reports having worked 281 countries. He is still legal officer at the Naval Station and hopes that he can stay there for some time because they really like Norfolk. Martha's son, Korkie, is a freshman at the University of Virginia and Gay's son is at St. Stephen's in Alexandria.

Page sends greetings to the class from Rome where he and Marge were making a stop on their tour around the world - London, Paris, Rome, Athens, Beirut, New Delhi, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Japan, and then home. While in Japan he has a scheduled meeting with the Tokyo Alumni Club.

John Meek writes Wes Beattie that the following were in attendance at the Princeton Massacre (in addition to the Mecks of course) Mel and Mary Hershenson, Ed and Peg Knapp, Al Terry, Sam and Carol Gass, Harold and Marion Henchey, Whit and Ginny Kimball, Jim and Helen Petrie (over from England), Bud and Ann Madden, Jack and Dot Manchester, George and Ray Theriault, Bill and Eleanore Bates, Jack and Madge Wright.

Ginney and I spent Harvard weekend with the Beatties and saw our first Harvard- Dartmouth game — and what a game!

We enjoyed meeting the following at the '32, '33, '34, and '35 Tent before and after the game: George and Polly Farrand and son Rich '68, Bob and Babe Fox, John and Charline Scanlon, Art and Mary Connelly, Hal and Pauline Hackett, Bea and Jeff Davis and their daughter and son-in-law, Barb and Dave Delano, Bill Dewey, John and Ariadne Thompson, Wayne and Pauline Damon, Clif and Elizabeth Johnson. When we went to our seats at the stands we sat with Archie and Lillian Lade and Fuller and Elizabeth Ripley. We heard that the Stonemans were seen in the crowd although we did not have the pleasure of bumping into them. Sue Dewey was not on hand. She was closing up shop at Quechee. Incidentally, Sue and Bill are ..opening two new shops for next season. If they will give me all details as to location, I'll give them a plug next spring.

Freeholder Harry Osborne has been appointed to the Board of Fellows of Union County Junior College (Cranford, N. J.), an advisory group of distinguished citizens to meet with and advise the trustees of the college.

Jeff and Bea Davis just returned from a four-week tour of the West including the Rockies, Yosemite, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas - they looked great!

Bob Fairbank, executive vice president of Towmotor has been elected a Director of the Faultless Rubber Co. of Ashland, Ohio.

Cupe Fanner was presented the A. H. Robbins Award by the Vermont State Medical Society for his outstanding service to his community at the annual banquet at the Washington Hotel, Bretton Woods, N. H., in September. This award is given annually to the Vermont physician who has performed outstanding service to his community in civic and medical matters. He headed a committee in September, 1963 which was successful in getting Fairbanks Morse Company to reconsider closing of their plant in St. Johnsbury and has performed other valuable community services which were recognized by this award. Congratulations, Cupe!

Fred Await was back from Libya for a six-week stay and spoke to the Lewiston-Auburn College Club.

On October 1 George Drowne took a new position as Director of Development of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover. He has been Director of Admissions and Student Personnel at Amos Tuck since 1959. Good luck in your new responsibility, George!

Bob McDonald who was formerly with the Free Europe Committee and the J. Walter Thompson Company has been appointed vice president of the Foreign Policy Association and will be in charge of corporate educational programs. The Foreign Policy Association is an organization which seeks to stimulate wider public interest and participation in discussion of American Foreign Policy.

Bob Niebling is now in the research department of Model Roland & Co., Members of the N. Y. Stock Exchange.

Don Phinney has ranged far and wide in his engineering profession and is now in New York as an assistant vice president of Merritt Chapman and Scott Corp. presently supervising the construction of Allegheny Tunnel #2 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike out in Somerset, Pa. He is a member of several professional engineering societies. He and Claire have two daughters — Linda 16 and Dona 7.

At various times you have been kept very much aware of John Meck's activities. You know that his official title at Dartmouth is Vice President and Treasurer. He has many other activities. He is Chairman of the Board of the Dartmouth National Bank, a member of the Board of Directors of Energy Fund. Inc., and of United Life and Accident Insurance Company of Concord, N. H. Jean and John's daughter, Sally, is a Wellesley '64 graduate; and John Jr. is at Dartmouth as reported in last month's notes. You must know that John is second only to President Dickey in the administration of Dartmouth.

Vin Merrill went on to Harvard and took their course in landscape architecture. He has his own business - Surecliff and Merrill, landscape architects. They do institutional and industrial site planning. He is president of the Boston Society of Landscape Architects, a Fellow in the American Society of Landscape Architects and a Director of the Hubbard Educational Trust. He and Anna have no children. Nice to hear from you Vin after all this time.

My old roommate, Bill Winn, sent his questionnaire back a while back and with it a very nice note. I haven't seen Bill since we graduated, and it was great hearing from him. He is with the Defense Electronics Supply Center in Dayton engaged primarily in the development and design of systems for this government agency, and had spent 20 years working for the Army and then became part of the planning group to activate a defense electronics supply center a couple of years ago and decided to stay on with them. He is a Rotarian and was a co-founder of a bank and for years served on its Board of Directors when he was in Decatur. He and Pauline have two sons, Bill, who is a mechanical engineering graduate from the University of Illinois and was married in 1961 to Charlotte Westherholt. By this time Bill Jr. has completed his second year at Stanford with a Master's in Business. Son Paul is a senior at the University of Illinois in the School of Business. Let me quote from Bill's note because it may be apropos of what many of us are thinking: "Time really flies - not so long ago school and career were foremost in our minds. Now I don't mind admitting I find myself eyeing with increasing seriousness the Florida sunshine." I'm with you, Bill, and I guess a lot of others are too.

Late flash - Saw the following at the Yale game - Bill Bates, Jan and Wes Beattie, Jean and Sam Black, Bea and Jeff Davis, Don D'Arcy, Peg and Ed Knapp, Marcella and Bill Teahan, Rae and George Theriault, and Alice and Chet Thomson.
