1933
When I wrote my May notes I was not sure when John Faegre was to be given the Dartmouth Alumni award, although I did know that it was coming. Had I known it would appear in the May issue, I would have commented — as I now do - that there aren't many classes who can boast of two Dartmouth alumni awards in successive months. Of course, I am referring to JusStanley's which was noted in the April MAGAZINE and John's in the May issue. Again I want to congratulate them for the Class. We are very proud.
Wes Beattie wrote Jus Stanley congratulating him on his Alumni Award and received a nice note back from him. Here's a little news about the Stanley family. Their daughter, Linda, is in Reid Hall in Paris for this year and she will return in June. Jus' wife, Leigh, was in Europe and spent Linda's spring vacation with her in Florence. Their older daughter, Janet, graduated from Lake Forest College last year and is now working in the Northern Trust Company in Chicago. Their twin sons, Justin and Harlan, are scheduled to enter Exeter next fall.
I try to proofread my copy for these notes very carefully but perhaps you noticed in last month's notes that Hal and CatherineJennings' son, Al Jr., is now in his third year at "Yal Lay." You all know that I meant to say Yale Law School but the Alumni Magazine copied my typewritten notes most faithfully.
Ken Spang, who is vice president of First National City Bank, has been named a recipient of the 7th Annual "Man of the Year Award" of the World Trade Club of New York. Ken is chairman of the New York Regional Export Expansion Council, president of the African Affairs Society of America, a director of the Nigerian American Chamber of Commerce, and a director of the New York World of Trade Week Committee. Congratulations on your Award, Ken.
Dr. Jim Walker left in March for Guayaquil, Ecuador to join the medical staff of the Teacher Training Hospital Ship "S.S. Hope." Jim is a specialist in Neurological surgery and will be one of 34 physicians aboard "The Hope." She will remain in Guayaquil until fall before leaving for Conakry, Guinea. Jim will be abroad a total of two months. He earned his medical degree at Tufts and interned at Newton Hospital and Massachusetts Memorial Hospital and then took his residency at Leahy Clinic. He is presently affiliated with Tufts University School of Medicine and several Boston area hospitals.
Page Worthington again makes news. He has just been elected president of the Maryland-District of Columbia Utilities Association. Boy, that guy really has jobs, doesn't he!
By the time you receive this issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE the results will be in and we will know whether Hank Smith, our exchairman, made it in his bid to be the Republican nominee for Congress from the 40th district of New York. At least three others were seeking this same seat at the time Hank announced his decision. Hank has been County Chairman since January 2, and as you know was formerly County Judge and Surrogate. We all hope you succeeded in the Primaries, Hank.
Bob and Amy Seabolt are living in Englewood, N. J., and Bob is commuting to New York where he is a partner in the law firm of Berle, Berle, and Brunner. They have a daughter, Sally, 22; and a son, Robert, 19.
You read Wes Beattie's columns for five years in this place but I bet lots of you don't know what Wes does or little about his family, because he has been very modest. He and Janet have three children; daughter Jeanne Leslie graduated from Colby Junior in '63 and will graduate from Katy Gibbs this June and son Robert is now 19. Daughter Susan Elizabeth is 14. Wes is with George Mann & Co., distributors of chemicals and specialties and has been assistant to the president and Regional Sales Manager for a number of years. Wes says that in a small company such as theirs (50 employees) four of them "wear several hats." Wes is a member of a number of trade associations in the chemical, paper and leather fields and very active in church work, Rotary Club, hospital building funds, Red Cross, Community Fund, P.T.A., Y.M.C.A., as well as all of the things that he has done for Dartmouth. He was president of the Dartmouth Club of Melrose and moved up to be president of the Alumni Association of Boston and has done yeoman work on interviewing committees and as an assistant class agent. Of course, you know the fine job he did as class secretary before he became our class chairman.
I don't know how many of you are lucky enough to get Charlie and Gene Clark's annual Christmas "Scoop." It would take three pages of this MAGAZINE to tell you all of the things that Charlie and Gene have done through the years for and with their family and for the communities in which they have lived. Charlie has been with A. B. Dick (duplicating machines) since he came back from service and he started his Tulsa business in 1946 and has been very successful and, more important, very happy. At the present time he is president of the Tulsa Rotary Club. He and Gene have been area chairmen of the American Field Service Program for Exchange Students. They have three daughters — Judy, Nancy Ann, and Carolyn. Judy is a graduate of Colorado, has a teaching degree and taught three years, married Peter C. Schaefer III, and they have a son, Mark, born February 28, 1963. Nancy attended DePauw, spent her junior year at the University of Madrid and has just completed work and obtained a Master's degree at Stanford. She has just been awarded a Rotary Foundation Fellowship (one of 10 available to women in the world) to study a year at San Andreas University at La Paz, Bolivia. Carolyn went to Dennison University for three years and had all but seven hours needed to graduate and now she and her husband are in medical school at Duke University. Dennison will award her bachelor certificate after Duke passes her on her 15 months of training to become a physical therapist. She will work in Lincoln Hospital to help put her husband through Medical School. I mentioned above that the Clarks were interested in American Field Service program and Carolyn went abroad on this program and the Clarks had a Turkish girl in their home for a year. Charlie and Gene have been instrumental in increasing this program in their area and now have 13 foreign students in their area.
Dave Paulson hasn't been heard from since 1954. He and Ruth live in Minneapolis where Dave is president of Jari Products, Inc. Their daughter Marjorie graduated from Carleton and married Robert Templeton last November. Daughter Katherine spent two years at Vassar and is now at the University of Minnesota and their third daughter, Mary Louise, I presume is in high .school. Nice to hear from you Dave, after all this time.
Ray Peck lives on Harvard Road (sic!), Arlington Heights, Ill., and is a sales representative for Allied Paper Corp. of Kalamazoo, Mich., selling paper to book publishers (say "hello" to Ward Harrison for me, Ray). Ray and Barbara have one daughter, Barbara Patricia. Patty is a junior at the University of Illinois, studying Elementary Education and a very active Pi Beta Phi. Ray is a member of several Trade Associations and has been active in the local Red Cross.
Bill and Ruth Richards live in North Hollywood, and Bill with his three sons, Kurt, Mark and Eric run Val Surf (San Fernando Valley's original surf shop). Let me quote Bill. "This surfboard business is the most refreshing experience. Practically all manufacturers, editors of magazines, in fact everyone in the business is in his late 20's or younger - a new sport popularized by the introduction of foam board - not over 7 years ago. We opened just one year ago and are known as having the biggest and most complete shop in the world. My boys labelled me as 'the granddad of the surfing business.' " Son, Kurt, is at Valley College; Mark is planning on Dartmouth '69 and Eric, film editing at ABC-TV. All besides helping the old man run his surfboard business. Good luck, Bill!
