1953
On the basis of the latest returns, PeteHutchins has slipped from first to fourth place in the "First Class Twins Derby." However Pete is still in the running for "First Twin Girls" as of this moment. The over-all title will undoubtedly go to Warrenand Joan Cassidy of Lynn, Mass. It seems almost impossible that anyone can top their qualifying date of April 19, 1954. Almost ten years old now, Warren III and Julie Ann were born at the Quantico Naval Hospital while daddy was in the Marine Corps.
Second place belongs to Herb and BobbiBorovsky who registered Ellen and Jimmy on April 25, 1958. Also in 1958, and with the "First Twin Boys," was Don and LillianGoss who show August 17 as the birth date for Jonathan and Thomas. Unless we are advised to the contrary, the above results will be considered final and appropriate ceremonies held at the fifteenth reunion.
Those rumors that Warren Cassidy heard from "an excellent source" are definitely unfounded. The ceremonies do not include full scholarships to the college of their choice for the twins. Let's hope that Warren can make the ceremonies. He missed the tenth reunion and reports that "Al Ives and I had the misfortune of having to celebrate reunion at the Officers' Club in Quantico. Even the 35¢ scotches couldn't dispel the gloom." Warren also reports that he recently had the occasion to visit with Attorney Frank Putney.
The news about Don Goss came from his father, Clarence Goss '23, who writes that Don is living in Westport, Conn., and commuting to New York City where he is with the advertising agency K. W. Ayer Co. Herb Borovsky's business letterhead shows that he is a lawyer with Murphy and Pearson in Chicago.
I hate to steal news from other publications, but things are rough when it comes to gathering news on 53's. From the most recent issue of the Loomis School Alumni Magazine comes the choice item that PhilParshley is a surgeon with the Air Force in Wichita, Kan. The Dragon Alumni Society contains a short note that Tom Blomqulst is now in Lucca, Italy on a Fulbright Grant. My sincere thanks to these two fine publications for their help.
The Norton Company of Worcester, Mass., has created a new post, and JohnPeterson's got it. He's just been named the company's first corporate development analyst, and he'll "be making industrial and acquisition studies as well as conducting market research on present and proposed products," according to a news-release quote from his boss. Following a sales training program in 1958 John went to Philadelphia as Norton's district product specialist and for the past three years has been district sales .supervisor in Denver. He had four years in the Navy before Norton.
While Sunday, December 29 was a day of tragedy for many of us (our beloved New York Giants were beaten by the lucky Chicago Bears), it was a happy occasion in New Haven, Conn. We were able to see EdBoyle who was visiting with his brother Jack Boyle '52. As many of you know, Ed is studying to be a Jesuit priest and after five years plus is roughly half way through his program. He is now in Portland, Me., where he teaches Science and Religion courses at the Bishop Cheverus High School and also coaches the J.V. football team. Ed hopes to eventually work in the area of industrial relations where he can take advantage of his background in economics, Tuck School, Naval Supply Corps and his business career. He looks wonderful and there's no doubt about loving "his job." As Bob Callender told him, "The pay isn't much, but the fringe benefits are great."
Also visiting at the Boyles were Frankand Mary Casalvieri. Frank was always known for his modesty and had nothing to say about himself. However I did get Mary to tell me that he is Personnel Manager and Supervisor of Employee Relations for the B. F. Goodrich Company in their Shelton, Conn., plant. He was also recently chairman of the Community Chest in Shelton. Equally modest was Marty DeGennaro, but his wife had to admit that Marty was just made resident manager of Blair & Co., Granbery, Marache, investment brokers and members of the New York Stock Exchange. Marty heads-up their New Haven office.
Further congratulations are in order to Bill McCarthy who was recently made a partner in his law firm, and to Don Bigham who was just appointed marketing manager of J. F. Jelenko & Company. Pete Grenquist does not have a wife to report on his activities, but after seeing the good looking date he had at the Columbia game I'm not so sure he needs a wife. Pete tells me that his Ph.D. is finally completed at Columbia and he expects to have more time now for the finer things in life.
Rog Warner has moved from Reading, Pa., to Scranton where he was appointed agency manager for the Travelers Insurance Company. Rog joined Travelers in 1956 and was moved to Reading as assistant manager in 1960. Please do a good job in Scranton as my wife and I are stockholders of Travelers. A press clipping from the Falmouth, Mass., Enterprise tells us that SandyLearnard is now an assistant to William O. Rainnie in preparing for addition of a small submarine to Woods Hole's oceanographic fleet. Sandy spent several years in the Coast Guard as an aviator and also studied aeronautical engineering at MIT. This background, plus his experience at the Snow Inn on Cape Cod should make him a natural for underwater duty.
We're waiting for a photograph of the Dartmouth contingent at John Kingsland's recent wedding and hope to run it in the next issue. It was a fine wedding, the bride, Elena, was beautiful, and the reception was like the "old days."
