1956

Brew Blackall will soon be a married man. Brew finished the University of Denver Law School in 1961 and returned to his home state of Connecticut, where he passed the bar exam and began his law practice in Hartford. Brew has been living with his family in Bristol; his sister Molly is in Cambridge as a secretary at the Harvard Business School. When I spoke to Brew a few weeks ago, he was preparing to take his Boy Scout troup on an overnight hike, and he told me about the wedding. It all started on the ski slopes at Stowe, Vt. Virginia DuBois is from New Canaan, Conn. She studied at Hollins College and loves to ski, play tennis, and ride horseback. I first met Ginnie at a wonderful weekend with the Lencis last summer. The wedding date is January 16. After the Harvard-Dartmouth football game I had a chance to meet a delightful person by the name of Page Savage of Stowe, who will soon become Dave Stackpole's wife. Dave is practising law in Stowe and lives in Johnson, Vt. Bob Bransten is engaged. Bob's fiancee is Daphne Jeannette Walter of Stamford, Conn. Daphne graduated from Dana Hall School and cum laude from Vassar College last June. Bob received a degree from Stanford Business School in 1958 and is with Western Can Co., a subsidiary of MJB Co. of San Francisco.

Elliott Weinstein has been an enthusiastic participant in many class and college affairs and Tuck School meetings. He has been serving on the interviewing committee for Dartmouth applicants in New York and gets to many of the class gatherings in the city. Elliott and Alice Sylvia Spell, class of '57 at University of Carolina, were married on Feb. 12, 1961. They are living at 3475 Greystone Avenue, Bronx. Here is part of the good letter I had from Elliott: "Peter Gordon Weinstein was born July 10, 1963. We found out after a few months Peter 'The Great' was a misnomer. It should be more like Ivan 'The Terrible.' We also have a little girl due to be born January of next year! My occupation: peddler. I am a sales representative for the Admiral Printing Co., a division of Printing Corp. of America here in New York City. We reproduce all forms of advertising and other promotional literature by the lithographic process. I would say that it is a progressive shop, innovator of a new technique in picture reproduction, and it enjoys a good reputation here in the city, but I say that all day long so I won't say it now. Summer vacations recently have been spent in Bolton's Landing on Lake George where I taught my wife to water ski and swim in that order. Now looking forward to teaching the same to Peter. Winter vacations had been spent in the Manchester, Vt., area skiing. We both took our first lessons on our honeymoon. We enjoy our evenings of bridge with Joeland Marcia Ash, and, as silly as it sounds, I still enjoy chasing Howie Newman around the basketball court. Am planning to be in Hanover this season for the Columbia game. I look forward to seeing you there."
