1933
It keeps Bill Steck '31 busy sending me up-to-date information on Bob Fairbank. He sent me a clipping from the Cleveland Plain Dealer a few weeks back showing Bob at the listing of Towmotor Corp. on the New York Stock Exchange. Now he sends me a clipping also from the same paper picturing Bob, the new president of Tow-motor. He has been executive vice president since 1961, and we certainly congratulate him as he assumes this new and important responsibility.
The Dartmouth Glee Club gave a concert in local high school Saturday night and the afterglow was held in the Park Hotel in Plainfield. Had a chance to spend a few minutes with Jessie and Bill Hoffman and Elsa and Harry Osborne and their daughter, Sue. Someone said that they had seen the Ken Weemans at the concert but I wasn't fortunate enough to bump into them.
Other than the above bits of information, the usual clipping services and notes from fellow classmates have been completely lacking this month so I am going to dip into my storehouse of questionnaires and tell you a little bit about some of the fellows that you may have wondered about - where they are and what they are doing.
Tom and Anne Mann are living in Scotch Plains, N. J. They have three children: Henry who attended Dartmouth and graduated from Tufts and is now in Yale Medical School: Anne who graduated from Wheaton in '62 and is also in Yale Medical School in the Public Health Division; and son, Tom Jr. Tom is a partner in Glore, Forgan & Co., investment bankers and brokers and is on at least one board that I know of, namely, Heublein, Inc. in Hartford. Tom has been a workhorse on various civic boards in and around Plainfield, having been a board member of the Community Chest, Neighborhood House and the United Family and Children's Society among others.
John Howard ("Bear") Manley is executive vice president of Fiduciary Council, Inc., an investment council firm with whom he has been since college. John and Helen Swenson were married in July, 1961 and there are no little Manleys running around. I see and talk with John occasionally and the reason for the nickname above is that ever since 1949 he has been predicting the great depression. He feels real good about events like 1962 because this proves him partly right. Of course, it took a little while to get to that point but he is now working on the 1966 Depression so sell everything!
Morrell Goldberg is now executive director of the Brookdale Hospital Center in Brooklyn, N. Y. He has been very active in many hospital associations — Greater New York, New York State, American. He is a Fellow in the American College of Hospital Administrators, and a lecturer at Columbia University School of Public Health. Morrell and Ruth have two daughters and a son. Daughter, Susan, was married in March, 1964 to Paul Slqman. Son, Dan, is 17 and daughter, Jane, 12.
Johnny Marden is regional supervisor of the Chicago area in the District Agencies Department of Prudential Insurance Co. and lives in Wilmette, Ill. He is a Charter Life Underwriter and has been active in the Life Underwriters Association and the Association of Chartered Life Underwriters. He has also been active in the Jr. Chamber of Commerce, United Fund, has been treasurer and trustee of the First Presbyterian Church of Wilmette and interested in Scouting. John and Julie were married in 1950 and have two boys, John who is 14 and Philip 9.
Sam and Madeline Cunningham live in Greenwich, Conn., from where Sam commutes to Irving Trust Company where he is vice president in charge of the Park Avenue Branch office at 400 Park Avenue. Sam went on from Dartmouth and spent a year at Harvard Law School and then, of course, took the usual courses at the Graduate School of Banking. Sam was treasurer of the Dartmouth Club of New York (1955 to 1958) and president (1959 to 1961).
Way and Barbara Thompson are living in Palatine, Ill., where Way is vice president and treasurer of the Arthur T. Mcintosh & Co. which I gather is a Real Estate Development Company. He enclosed a nice note and said that the reason he works is so that he will have enough money for his hobbies which are riding, golf, and travel. (Don't we all?) He reports that he spends a couple of days a week in Chicago office taking care of legal, accounting and office matters and the rest of the week he is traveling around the country as he is in charge of all sub-division and layout work. He reports considerable activity in both political and community services but even though he says he is not modest he is so modest that he doesn't tell me what they are. Daughter, Beverly Way is a graduate of Northwestern University 1963 and son. Way Jr. is Class of '68 at Miami University (Ohio) and is aiming towards an M.D. degree.
Don and Muggs D'Arcy still are in the old homestead at Dover, N. H. Daughter, Pamela, in the class of '55 at Colby College, was married back in 1957 and she and her husband, Harmon Manning have two children. Jennifer went to Skidmore for one year and then married Donald McKinnon in 1959 and they have two sons. Susan Ann is in the Class of '67 at Smith and is engaged to Jeffrey Tallackson. Don is still president and treasurer of the D'Arcy Company and is presently a director of the National Sash and Door Jobbers Association and is active in his community as a trustee of the Wentworth Douglas Hospital, a director of the New Hampshire Children's Aid Society, and a director of the Dover United Appeal. I am sure you all know of Don's activities as a Dartmouth alumnus particularly his outstanding leadership for our Class in the Capital Funds Drive.
Fred Curtis and his wife, Mildred, live in Petosky, Mich., and have two children - Caroline who is presently securing a master's degree at Columbia and Mary who is in her senior year at Colorado Women's College. Fred is president of the First National Bank of Petosky and also president of the Curtis Wire Products Co.
Robert Trask Cox has his own architectural firm, Robert Trask Cox Associates, architects specializing in school design. He has been active in the American Institute of Architects and on its Board of Directors. He is also a member of the American Arbitration Association. He is on the Drafting Lay-Advisory Committee El Camino College (since 1955). He is also active in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Pasadena Museum of Art and the Music Guild of Los Angeles. After graduating from Dartmouth, Bob took a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1935 at New York University. Bob's daughter, Judith, graduated from Vassar in 1961 and son. Tom, attended Harvard, and daughter, Lucinda, is in the class of '68 at Occidental College.
I sure would appreciate it if you fellows, who still have questionnaires sitting in the piles of unanswered mail on your desk, would take a few minutes and fill them out and send them back to me.
By the time these notes get into print we will be going down the home-stretch on the Alumni Fund, and I hope to those of you who have not sent your contributions in to Hanover that this will be another reminder to you that we would sure like to have '33 nearer the top of the list than we have been.
