1962
Maybe it isn't proper to start the column with a gripe, but I've been insulted - I think. Got a letter the other day with a great big return address on it: Yale Alumni Association of Michigan. The material inside cordially invited me to a Detroit concert by the Yale Glee Club, with the Whiffenpoofs, and to the eighteenth annual Yale Christmas Dance after the concert - each at four bucks a throw. Now I'm sure that I never misled anyone into thinking that I spent four years in New Haven. And I'm sure that their scholarship fund doesn't expect much from my pocketbook. Maybe they just want to add some color. In any event I'm afraid that the Whiffenpoofs will have to get along without me.
Visiting Ann Arbor recently was Al Weinberg who is in his senior year at Harvard Med. I didn't see Al myself but heard from Chuck Cohen that he was looking around trying to figure out where he will be doing his residency. Al was married sometime early in 1963 to Miss Irene Friedman of Columbus, Ohio, a graduate of Ohio State. And last April they increased the ranks of the Dartmouth Weinbergs with a son, Todd Andrew.
One of the 36 Peace Corps Volunteers who left the U.S. in November for service in a rural community development and agricultural cooperative program in Panama was Carl Herboid. Carl's group studied for ten weeks at the University of Arizona where the emphasis was on learning Spanish. The group also received instruction in agriculture, nutrition, and health, plus U.S. and Panamanian history and world affairs. Following this Carl had another month of training at the Peace Corps camp in Puerto Rico.
A message from Gordie McKean, who was mentioned last month, tells us that he and frau are in Hanau, Germany where he is on active duty with the Air Force. Gordie plans to enter U of M Law School next fall.
Mark Hastert was named the outstanding senior in the College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Washington during their 28th Annual Scholarship Banquet this past November. Mark is also a member of Tau Sigma Delta, national architecture scholastic honorary.
It was a girl, Diane Carol, for Mr. and Mrs. Bill Winegar of Hanover on October 19.
Working out of the New London, Conn., office of the Southern New England Telephone Company is Bob Quay. Bob was married on August 18, 1962 to Miss Joy Carlson, a Vassar '64 who finished her education at Pembroke while Bob was stationed at Newport with the Navy. The Quays started their family with a daughter, Sara Elisabeth, on October 25, 1964. Bob has also been working on another baby, this time a floating kind in the form of a new Soverel 28, nearing completion for the Boat Show in New York City. Bob is a sales representative for the boat company, so keep your eyes open for him, and your wallet shut, if you make it to the show.
Bill Edgar was promoted to first lieutenant at Fort Bliss, Texas, this past September while assigned to the U.S. Army Air Defense School where he is an instructor. Another of our military types, Jim Abramson, recently participated with the Seventh Army in Exercise Fallex 64, an 8-day NATO-directed and controlled training exercise in Germany. Jim is a supply officer with the 93rd Signal Battalion near Hanau, Germany, and was employed by A. Asch Company of New York City before he entered the service.
Among the marrieds now is Mike Schaefer who was wed on October 11 to Miss Leslie Phyllis Allen of Jacksonville, Fla. Mrs. Schaefer is a senior at the University of Connecticut, attended the American School in Buenos Aires and was graduated from La Chatalaine in Neuchatel, Switzerland. Mike is attending Columbia University Business School.
Wed on November 27 were Miss Phyllis Rae Pierce and Dick Schwartz. The bride, from Churchland, Va., is a graduate of Mary Washington College and is on the faculty of the John Tyler School in Portsmouth. (That's what the New York Times said, but they didn't bother to say what state it's in.) Dick finished his active duty with the Army and is now with Montgomery Ward in New York.
And married on October 18 were Miss Janet Laura Clott and Steve Rotter. Assisting as best man was Elliot Prager. Mrs. Rotter, of Jersey City, N.J., is a Skidmore '64 and is attending the. New York University Graduate School of Arts and Science. Steve is with the film department of National Broadcasting Company news and is also attending NYU Graduate School of Communication Arts.
In case anyone wondered, something did get left out last month. I mentioned that John Allen had been added to the English faculty, but didn't say where. It's at New Trier High School in Winnetka, Ill.
And so, group, this brings us to the end of 1962 news for the month. If it seems a little shorter than usual you know how to rectify the situation.
