1945

First stop this month, Hollywood - PeteTewksbury was the director for the Walt Disney film, "Emil and the Detectives." As reviewed in the New York Times: "For once the producer hired a good director, Peter Tewksbury, who did slick work on 'Sunday in New York.' The direction makes all the difference. . . . Interesting things may be expected from Mr. Tewksbury if he ever gets his hands on a good adult script." From the comments heard from the younger set, this was a well received picture and the look bestowed on yours truly, when he told of his classmate who was the director, was the closest thing to awe that he has had from the young fry in months.

Still in the field of the arts, Evan Connell had a short story entitled "The Mountains of Guatemala" published in the December issue of Esquire - well worth reading.

Jim Edson has returned to the states from Saskatchewan where he had been running a training center for laymen and women for the United Church of Canada. Jim is now at the Oberlin Graduate School of Theology finishing his Bachelor of Divinity studies - "don't know where it will lead except into training lay people that they ARE (italics are Jim's) the church - probably work in a 'residential school' in some part of the U.S." - keep us informed as to the good work, Jim.

George French writes that he has left the fair state of Colorado for El Paso, Texas, where he is now district manager of Pitney-Bowes. Bill Berge keeps the Colorado record straight, though, saying that "the practice of law is just fine and the skiing at Vail, Colo., is great!"

Even the medical group has been heard from this month. Lou Wiederhold is president-elect of the New Hampshire chapter, American Academy of General Practice, and stays busy with his general practice in Antrim, N. H. Bill Hatt, an orthopedic surgeon in Sarasota, Fla., writes that Rotary, Cub Scouts, bowling, etc., to say nothing of the 3 children keep Joan and himself busy. Bill recently addressed the International College of Surgeons meeting in Gainesville, Fla.

Charlie Younians is now doing full time private practice as a clinical psychologist in Oneonta, N. Y. He also stays busy in such allied fields as a management consultant for a dress company and as a major, USAF reserve, doubling in the duties of a pilot and a research psychologist for the Man in Space program.

Activities of the younger generation find Charlie Waterman's son, Charles Dana III, a freshman at Dartmouth, while Bob Zildjian and Bert Martin announce the birth of a son and daughter respectively in the spring of '64. As Bob says, "not bad for an old man!" Bert goes on to say that he is now president and treasurer of the Martin Manufacturing Corp. His oldest son is now at Culver Military Academy.

Gene Pinney reports from Belgrade where he has been assigned to the American Embassy as a Foreign Service Officer for at least a two-year tour of duty - "Yugoslavia has a unique position in the Communist world which makes this a fascinating assignment." Hope you'll find time, Gene, to keep us up to date.

Dick Murray and family spent this past summer in Mexico, six weeks in study and then the rest of the summer in touring the country. "This was my third summer in a row south of the border. I am now chairman of the Department of Foreign Language and of the Language Arts Area at my high school in Tucson, Ariz."

Here and there. . . . AI McAliley in Mars, Pa., enthuses about his new hospital - "the latest word in modern architecture and worth the four years of blood, sweat and tears." . . . Kurt Konigsbacher just returned from a trip to Switzerland, Italy, Spain, and Morocco. .. . Henry Moore is now busy overseeing a change to an IBM data processing system at the Glens Falls Insurance Co., where he is director of systems. . . . BobKoslowsky, president of the Great State Beverages, Inc., Manchester, N. H., invites the class to stop for a cold one as we pass through that area. He carries Budweiser, Carling, and Lowenbrau which ought to satisfy the most choosy. . . . Moe Frye, Bud Street, and John Mac Donald made a threesome to watch the Big Green wallop Harvard. . . . Frank Wilcox is now president of the Lawrence Academy Alumni Association as well as president of his local area (Framingham, Mass.) Red Cross.
