1933
Jack Robinson is now with Hilton Hotels Corporation. His present assignment is Ambassador to the World's Fair for the Hilton Chain. Jack resigned from American Airlines on his 30th anniversary with that company. Jack and Alice have four children - Fred who graduated from N. Y. University College of Forestry in Syracuse in '63, Ann graduated the same day from Mac Murray, Gail is in the University de los Americas, Mexico City, and Andy is in junior high school. See you at the Fair, Jack.
Bob Fox, Dartmouth's finest Newsletter Editor, again makes news this month as he brings us up to date on his family. Babe and Bob's daughter Susanne was married on December 1 in Tarrytown, N.Y., to Kenneth D. Martin. Both she and her husband studied pantomime under Marcel Marceau in Paris and they have formed the West- chester Mime Theater. Susanne's sister, Roberta, is engaged to Robert Sandman. Her fiance is a senior at West Point and plans to go on to medical school. The wedding date is set for July 4.
Wes Beattie sent me news from Bob Cox (Mathis that is). Bob had sent him a number of very unusual institutional ads for the Cox Department Stores (there are now six stores). I wish I could reproduce one or two of these because they are really wild. Sure hope they turn into money, Bob.
Max Field was honored at the 95th Annual Meeting of the New England Shoe and Leather Association on completion of 25 years as Executive Vice President of that Association. However, from the published reports that I have* I would say that Max was slightly upstaged by Teddy Kennedy who was the guest speaker of the evening. Congratulations from us all, Max, on this milestone and we hope the next 25 will be just as much fun.
As you all know by now the Princeton game will be in Hanover next fall, and Wes is working on a possible '33 reunion for that weekend. Hanover is going to be mobbed, of course, and as soon as he has anything to report, he will get it out to you in the hopes that a good '33 representation can be on hand.
Wes was in Washington and reports having had lunch with Larry Reeves, BobHagen, Cal Milans and Bert Thorstenberg.Larry Durgin would have joined them but he had to go into the hospital the day before for an operation. Hope he is doing well.
I am sure that you have gotten the impression that there are a great many '33's who are loyal and active alumni of Dartmouth. Certainly in the category that we might call most active would be JohnnyFaegre. What Eddie Jeremiah would do without John's recruiting efforts for the Dartmouth hockey team I don't know. He has found time to be president of the North-west Dartmouth Alumni Association and was chairman of their effort to raise $100,000 for a regionally endowed scholarship fund. He served three years on the Dartmouth Alumni Council, two terms on the Athletic Council, and was on two trustee sub-committees dealing with alumni relations, admissions and financial aid. In addition to his Dartmouth activities, he has been a Director of the American Tax Payers Association; and for over 30 years very active in the Boy Scout Movement, having served as president of the Minneapolis Boy Scout Council. He is a proud recipient of the Silver Beaver Award for Distinguished Service to boyhood. As if all of this were not enough, he has been vice chairman and director of the local Red Cross, a trustee of the United Fund, a member of the vestry of his church, and a Hereditary Knight Commander of Justice of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem. John and Florence have a son. Chuck, who graduated from Dartmouth in '63 and is now in the University of Minnesota Law School. Chuck and his wife, Barbara, presented John and Florence with their first grandchild, Charles, on October 28, 1962. The Faegres' daughter, Mary Florence, is a 17-year-old, and I would guess a senior in high school, although John does not say. I am pooped just thinking of all the things that this guy does.
Cupe Farmer went on from Dartmouth to the University of Vermont College of Medicine where he received his M.D. in 1937, and then he spent three years in internship and residency at the Montreal General Hospital. Cupe and Lenice have a son, James — 17, and a daughter, Katherine - 13. Cupe is practicing general medicine in St. Johnsbury, Vt., and has had a number of honors. He has been president of the hospital medical staff, County Medical Society, State Medical Society. He also served as president of the State Board of Medical Registration and chairman of the State Health Council. He was also for six years a member of the Finance Committee of the American Academy of General Practice and was President of the Vermont Chapter for one year. He is a member of St. Johnsbury Republican Committee, on the board of trustees of St. Johnsbury Academy, and for twelve years was on the Vermont State Veterans Board. He is also active in the Congregational Church and says that he still finds time for skiing, skating, boating, water skiing, and raising and training a few Morgan horses. I just don't know how there are enough hours in the day to do the things that fellows like Faegre and Farmer do.
Phil Farnham moved from Rochester to Kingsport, Tenn., during the war, helped build and operate a government high explosives plant. After the war he stayed on with Eastman Kodak as assistant vice president and assistant plant manager of the Tennessee Eastman Company Division. After leaving Dartmouth Phil went on to Yale Law School, married Sally Pike in 1940, and they are the parents of Susan who is now a sophomore at Smith College, Pamela, and Virginia. Phil has been active as a director of Community Chest, Chamber of Commerce, local hospital, and the Country Club.
Jack Fitzgerald and Helen live in Abbington, Pa., where Jack is president of the Liberty Corporation and vice president of Eastern Asphalt Company. He is active in the National Ready-Mix Concrete Association and the American Society of Military Engineers, has been on the board of trustees of the Abbington Memorial Hospital, and is chairman of their building committee. The Fitzgeralds have two daughters. Helen was married in 1957 to Walter. S. Smith and Adele who was married in 1958 to John S. Budd. Helen is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania 1957 and Adele, Skidmore 1958. The Smiths have four children and the Budds also four. Helen must have a grandmother's bracelet because she had to pitch in and note the birthdays of her eight grandchildren. John, say "hello" to Ken Ervin the next time you see him.
I mentioned in an earlier column that Parker Hart is American Ambassador at Jidda, Saudia Arabia. Parker went on to Harvard after leaving Dartmouth, took his Master's, and then took additional work in the Institute for Higher Studies in Geneva and the Foreign Service Institute in George-town University in Washington. He had diplomatic posts in Vienna, Para, Brazil; Manaos, Brazil; Cairo, Egypt; Dhahran, Saudia Arabia; Damascus, and at various times was at the Department of State headquarters in Washington. He is a member of the American Foreign Service Association, the Royal Geographical Society, and the Royal Central Asian Society, and is an expert on the Middle East. He speaks French, Portuguese, Arabic, German, and I presume a little English. He and Jane have two daughters - Margaret 13 and Judith 10. Parker, I hope you and Jane can make our next reunion because we would all like to have some first-hand reports of some of your experiences around the world.
