1948

It has been an active fall for our class with many promotions, transfers and position changes. These records of changes are certainly testimonies in themselves to our classmates' successes, however reading of these achievements every month does give me an additional measure of pride in our class.

The weather at the Yale game was beautiful this year and the stands were full, but as usual the 1948's seemed to be spread all over making it difficult to see who was there from the class. However I did spot Johnand Pat Hatheway, Dave and Joyce Kurr,Marv Hader and a date, Foxy and HelenParker, and the Walt Friends, who sat next to me.

There seems to be an abundance of news for a change so here goes: Lynn Greene presented Dick with a real New Hampshireborn son, Jeffrey Hunter, weight 9 pounds, 12 ounces on October 12. The McAllisters stayed at Dick and Lynn's farm in New London the weekend of the Princeton game and the next day the baby arrived a little ahead of schedule. Dick is learning to live with some of those sleepless nights we have all been used to.

I received a newsy letter from JohnFenno, our new treasurer. He reports that they built a new house in Canajoharie and moved in August 30 even though the house was virtually still a shell. John says they camped out while the workmen finished. Weekends the family spent sailing on Lake Otsego and report the summer was most successful. It seems the family cleaned up with John winning both the summer series and Labor Day races and the boys doing almost as well in the Junior races.

A couple of weeks ago I had a nice visit from Jay Rutledge who runs a very successful investment firm, Stephenson, Leydecker in Oakland, Calif. Jay is still a bachelor and leads a very gay life. He just moved into a luxurious new apartment and indicates business is very good.

Another '48 moving up the ladder at Young & Rubicam is Ed Concannon, just appointed a vice president. Ed has been with this outstanding Dartmouth-oriented agency since 1951. He and Cathy live in Weston, Conn., with their two daughters.

Last summer the Rhode Island Hospital Trust Co. in Providence promoted DickLoomis to trust officer. I hope Dick's master's degree in math helps him pick the right stocks. Dick and Cynthia live in nearby Barrington, R. I.

After working at the Bell Telephone Laboratory in Whippany, N. J., Bob Tarrant recently moved to the company's laboratories in Winston-Salem, N. C., where he is a member of the technical staff.

Ray Richard has again returned to the Midwest to live. Ray has become works manager of the Fairbanks Morse Company in Rockford, Ill. It will be his responsibility to keep the pumps manufactured by this old, well-known company coming off the assembly line.

For seven years Jack Redden has been a professor in the department of geological science at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Beginning this fall he is associate professor of Geology at the University of Miami in Ohio. Jack and Harriet have two daughters, Rebecca, twelve, and Janice, almost ten.

After serving as district sales manager for Oscar Mayer & Co. the prominent meat packers, first in Long Island, then Philadelphia, and lastly Northern Illinois, HankMueller has just been made assistant sales manager of the company and has moved to Madison, Wis., the corporate headquarters. It is great to see Hank moving ahead constantly as he has done. Hank and Nancy have three sons and.a daughter.

After making their home in Pittsburgh for many years, Beech and Cindy Lockwood have moved to Orinda, Calif. Beech is in the marketing department of Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Sales Co., so I am sure he received an important promotion when he was moved to the home office in Oakland. Daughter Cindy and Beech III should find the weather quite a change from Pittsburgh.

Once again Major Dave Karukin of the U.S. Marines is off to distant shores. He is now stationed in Thailand with a Navy unit.

For several years Al Gilbert was living in El Salvador where he was with the United States Embassy. He is now back in Washington with the State Department.

I just heard that Ed and Joan McLaughlin, along with their three boys moved to a home in Brighton, Mass., from Newton Center. Ed is assistant to the president of Chase Funds in Boston, a prominent mutual fund.

Another '48 family who changed their address over the summer was the McFalls. John and Cynthia moved to another house in Seattle where John is a securities broker with Walston & Company. With four children I guess they needed a little more room for future entertainment.

I.B.M. recently transferred Vince Vayo from Roanoke, Va., where he had been a sales representative in the data processing division, to Philadelphia where he will perform the same type of duties. Vince, Helen, and the children are living in suburban Berwyn.

Bob and Ruth Pilsbury moved to Acton just north of Boston over the summer. Bob, as you all probably know, has carried on his interest in music from his Barbary Coast days and is now a music teacher and professional musician.

Again I hope all little '48s receive bundles full of joy and that they give their mommy and daddy '48s heaps of 1965 happiness. Be back with you next year.
