1944

The Dartmouth basketball team was treated quite rudely in its annual swing through the Midwest last week and hardly reflected the glory of the '44 contingent in their heydey. It would be interesting to see what our ski team could do to Ohio State and Kentucky, however.

Jim Bodine was recently named senior vice president of the Borden Company's new division, the Special Products Company. Jim joined Borden in 1956 and became director of sales and marketing for its pharmaceutical division. He will become General Manager of that unit and will assume responsibility for the new John Robert Powers and Marcelle Cosmetics divisions. Jim, his wife, and three daughters live on Bodine Avenue in Gladstone, N. J. The street was named for his grandfather, John Bodine, who was the community's first mayor.

Clark MacGregor recently spent a week back in Hanover as "Congressman-in-residence." He went up under the auspices of the Dartmouth Public Affairs Center which has been sponsoring visits to the campus by officials of the U.S. Civil Service and Foreign Service. Clark met with a number of classes and groups, including the Young Republicans, government majors, and classes in political parties, voting behavior and Great Issues. As you know, Clark was recently elected to his third term in the House. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, he played an important role in the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights bill. I wouldn't mind being back at Dartmouth and hearing the discussion he will hold with students concerning the future course of the Republican Party.

Bob Tompa, chairman of the Department of Business Administration at Monmouth College, recently received his Ph.D. in economics from Rutgers University. In fulfilling the requirements for the degree, he wrote a dissertation entitled 'An Analysis of the Post-War Monetary Policy of America." He selected this topic after attending the 4th Central Banking Seminar in New York for the 2nd District Professors of Money and Banking during 1957. In 1961, Bob was a delegate to the Inter-industry Economic Conference in Geneva, Switzerland. Bob, his wife, Rita, and their two children live in Spring Lake, N. J.

John Hempstead is out in San Jose, Calif., assistant manager of the fabulous new Hyatt House. Wemo Epply has moved from Hanover to a new home in Etna.

Formerly branch manager (for marketing) for New York State, Rod has been promoted to Central Regional Manager with marketing responsibilities that cover the Detroit, Cleveland, and Dayton branches in addition to New York State. Rod began working for Spaulding as a factory engineer in 1947 shortly after his discharge from the Navy; he turned to sales engineering the next year and in 1956 was named to the branch manager job.

Chuck Richardson, vice president and director of the Maxon Construction Company, recently announced plans for a 100 million dollar retirement community in Tucson, Ariz. Like Rocky Davidson he's getting into this development business in a big way. The community already has 1150 gardenpatio apartments and more than 100 homes in addition to the extensive recreational and shopping facilities and a medical clinic. Like Harry Davidson's enterprise, the Tucson Green Valley's first phase of development is for the "Over 50" age group. At least one member of the household must be 50 years of age or more. They are going into the recreational end in a big way with seven swimming pools, 30 neighborhood parks, a championship golf course with driving range and practice greens, tennis and shuffleboard courts, shooting, fishing and riding areas, and club rooms and hobby shops in the large recreation center building. Tucson Green Valley is sponsored by the University of Arizona Foundation through its non-profit subsidiary, The Retirement Foundation, Inc. The New York State Teachers Retirement System is financing the first phase. The cost is covered by a $12,410,000 FHA-insured mortgage. In addition to his. work out in Arizona, Chuck is also a director of the American Packing Corporation in Cleveland, the Charles E. Schuler Manufacturing Company, Newark, Ohio, and the United Building Centers, Winona, Minn.
