1933

The address at the head of this column may puzzle you a bit. After thirty years as a manufacturer's representative in the glass container industry. I decided that was long enough. With our children grown, educated and happily married and our responsibilities lessened, Ginney and I decided to get out of the New York rat race. So we went looking for property when we were in Hanover in May for Class Officers' Weekend and found what we thought was just what we wanted. By the times these notes are published we will be established in Ely, Vt. We will be just 17 miles from Hanover, one mile from Route 5 on Route 113 west of Ely and we will look forward to seeing any of you who will at any time be in the neighborhood of Hanover.

A trip up to Ely during the summer made it possible for us to spend an evening and stay over night with Bill and Marcella Teahan. They were wonderful hosts as always. The big news in the Teahan family was the marriage of Bill Jr. '64, to Mary Disbro in Cleveland on July 17. I made a final business trip to Boston in July and this gave me an opportunity to have dinner with Margand Norm Erlandson.

Before getting on with further news of the Class, may I congratulate Ed Knapp, and of course all those in the Class who made it possible, for leading the Class to the highest dollar amount our class has ever raised for the Alumni Fund. Still I'm puzzled. First of all because there are still so many who feel no responsibility to participate and second because so many consider a small gift adequate. The net result is that only the Class of '32 in classes of our vintage does a poorer job than we do. Of course many do their share and more but I hope that before the 1966 Alumni Fund we will all carefully examine the amount of gifts and try to determine whether we really are giving according to our increased ability. It's terribly easy to continue to give the same amount year after year. Let's do a much better job next year and let's have a lot more contributors in the $100 and up classifications.

Deborah French Dewey and Richard Williamson were married on August 7 in Woodstock and their reception was held in the home of Debbie's parents at Dewey's Mills. Dick is a member of Yale's class of '66 and is captain-elect of their hockey team. Our congratulations to the newlyweds and to Sue and Bill Dewey on their acquiring a new "son." (And can any of you think of a more wonderful place for a wedding reception?)

Another "Deborah," daughter of '33, was married during the summer - Deborah, daughter of Dick and Helen Jackson, was married to Charles Shelton, North Carolina '63, in Barrington, R. I. Debbie graduated last year from Hollins College. Congratulations, too, to Debbie and Charles and to the Jacksons.

One engagement that I know about - that of Thelaia and Irving Jonas' daughter Bette to Donald Freedson. Bette is a University of Massachusetts graduate and Don a member of the Class of '65 at Trinity College.

I hear George Rideout rated rave notices for landing a 603-pound tuna off Provincetown during the summer.

President Johnson nominated a new Ambassador to Turkey early in July, ParkerHart. Parker has served in many important posts throughout the world.

Bob Niebling has become a voting stockholder of Model Roland & Co. of New York.

Harry Osborne, one of our County Freeholders is directing the campaign in the county of New Jersey gubernatorial candidate, Wayne Dumont. Harry has made a real name for himself as chairman of the finance committee of the Union County Board of Freeholders.

Bill Forbes was named senior vice president of Foster-Forbes Glass Co. of Marion, Ind.

In May the Department of State announced that John B. Faegre Jr. has been appointed to membership on the Agency for International Development's Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid.

I have a friend in West Virginia (but I don't know who it is) who sent me a clipping saying that the Commerce Department had announced the appointment of Kenneth M.Spang a vice-president in the overseas division of the First National City Bank of New York as a member of the National Export Expansion Council. The Council advises the Secretary of Commerce, John T. Connor, on all matters affecting exports. It also provides leadership and guidance to the 42 regional Export Expansion Councils. Pick a couple of busy and able men to do important jobs!

A word about Arch Delmarsh. He took his Ph.D. at Cornell and I am a little confused as to where he is and what he is doing. I sure would appreciate a further note from you, Arch, clearing up the confusion in my mind. He does report that his home base is Inlet, N. Y. but goes on to say that his business address is the University of California at Santa Barbara. This is about the longest commute that I have ever heard of. Arch and Norma have 6 children. The oldest two boys, Arch and Harry, are both married. Arch Jr. graduated from Princeton University in '62 and Harry from the University of California. I am sorry that this has to be so sketchy, Arch, but if you will drop me a note, I will fill in the blank spaces.

Dick Graves is now located in Little Rock, Ark., where he is a salesman of ladies' ready-to-wear representing Marta'8 of Henderson, Ky. He has been a member of several fashion exhibitors' associations and is a past-president and member of the Board of Directors of the Louisiana Fashion Exhibitors. Margaret and Dick have two sons and two daughters. The oldest son is Jeff, who attended the University of Kansas as did their older daughter, Kathy. Their next daughter, Marina, was married in September 1962 to Leslie Bledsoe and the Bledsoes have the Graves' first grandson, Richard. Their youngest is Paul who is 8 years old. Thanks very much, Dick, for bringing us up to date. It has been a long time since we have heard from you, too.
