1932

Warren Hallamore sends us important personal and location information. He married Mrs. Frances A. Zuill, a Bermudian, on March 14. They will live at Blackburn Place, Warwick, Bermuda. Warren will be "doing public relations" for a number of well-known hostelries (no ad.). Congratulations, Warren, and we'll all look in when visiting Bermuda.

Bob Ryan was recently in Washington to play the Lincoln part in the reenactment of his second inaugural one hundred years ago.

Chuck Housel reports that he is "still principal of the Prosser Junior High in the great state of Washington. Recently elected to the State Board of Directors and chairman of the Summer Conference. Also up to my neck in a building program. Hope to get East this summer."

Carlos Baker says "As I begin the fourth year of intermittent but increasingly concentrative (like frozen orange juice) work on a biography of Ernest Hemingway, I would like to hear from all classmates who ever saw and/or talked with him. Cannot promise all correspondents literary immortality (only metaphysical immortality available) but will record all names, places, and situations with thanks. Flew to Toronto in January for a talkfest with seven of Hemingway's former associates on the "Toronto Star" (1920-1923). Weather was zero with a brisk wind just fresh off the Arctic Circle. But Toronto very civilized city in that clean scrubbed Canadian fashion." Carlos is modest anent a detail; he says "a" biography — I understand that this is "the" biography, so designated, and, as such, probably the most important writing and research assignment of its type around today.

Dr. Ralph J. Littwin outlines for us: "Still in full time radiology, Bristol Hospital, Bristol, Conn. Part time teaching at Yale School of Medicine, Department of Radiology. Daughter at Wellesley, class of 1968; son at Phillips Exeter Academy, class of '67."

Clare Farr writes from Reed's Ferry (near Manchester, N. H.) where he divides his leisure time between amateur radio (WIWMK), photography (Kodachrome slides preferred), and music (piano players never quit). Son Dick is married and on way to doctorate degree at Stanford. Son Robin is undergraduate at Foothill College. Clare in assistant to the vice president for Technical Operations, MITRE Corp.

Our class chairman, Nathan Bo Wentworth, has been elected vice chairman of the Continental Insurance Companies; he was formerly president. The CIC is a group of ten property and casualty insurance companies with assets approaching two billion. Let us know when they get there, 80.

John Sheldon went to New York (from Chicago) and saw and/or talked with Hatcher, Hazen, Wentworth, Hosmer, Waren Moore, Whitehair, and Morton. Then in Chicago, he saw Harwood, Rich, and Sam Moore and talked to Chandler. Furthermore, he later saw Jim Swartchild, and finally (the topper) John Amos Wright! Almost as good as a reunion and John reports "all seemed well." (Footnote: One plank in my election campaign platform covered the salary to be paid the class secretary; each man mentioned in the column contributes an extra ten bucks; $9 for the Alumni Fund and $1 for the secretary to give to the Fund. John's card would help this cause.)

John modestly did not report that he was recently elected to the board of directors of Wilson and Co., the meat packers. He is president of Charles A. Stevens and Co., and a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. (Fortunately the Alumni Records office sends me a few clippings from time to time or I'd never be able to report on some of the more important happenings.)

The long distance ribbon goes to BenCowden this month who tells us: "I am the management assistant for the Naval Air Station at Barber's Point, Oahu. Son Charles, age 11, won four ribbons this morning for the Pearl Harbor Swim Club. Son John, age 13, plays football, baseball, and basketball for the Aliamanu Junior High School. See Roger Benezet fre- quently." DCAC, especially Karl Michael, will please note above accomplishment.

Chuck Hall is having an exciting year as president of the Kiwanis Club of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. He continues: "Our older son Jerry is married and our younger son Tom recently graduated from Bowling Green State University and is now at the University of Nebraska for graduate work. We are planning a vacation in Italy in May." Chuck, if you get into the mountains northeast of Turin, you may meet a Cappio. Say hello for me, he might be my 14th cousin.

Francis McGuire was recently elected a director of the Hartford National Bank and Trust Company. An attorney in New London, he is also a trustee and secretary of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, chairman of the board of Williams School and a director of the Day Publishing Company.

I don't want to waste your time, but please note that I no longer live at 1606 Kenney Drive, I now live at 3154 Kenney Drive. I have not moved. The house and mortgage are unchanged, with a quarter acre of crabgrass, a two-car driveway and some leaf-dropping trees surrounding a brick box with wall-to-wall flooring. Fairfax County, Va., has joined with most of the other governmental jurisdictions in northern Virginia in a master plan for street naming and house numbering. While some people may end up living on 168 th Street instead of Homestead Drive, they'll be easier to find. I was lucky, only the house number is changed. However, if you want to find me when you come to Washington, D. C., just call JEfferson 4-1416. (The telephone company keeps saying that my number is 534-1416, but don't believe it.)

Saw Boothbrace the other day and he dared me to offer his latest bit of doggerel for publication: Well known is the class of Thirty-Twoters, A fine loyal group of Green rooters;

They send Fendrich their dues, And Cappio their news And are all big Alumni Fund contributors.

Secretary, 3154 Kenney Dr. Falls Church, Va.

Class Agent, Route 1, Box 3331, Issoquah, Wash.
