1946
Ye Olde Reporter is really relaxing while writing this report. I'm lying on the terrace of a lovely home in Atlanta, Ga., basking in an 85 degrees sun and adding a few layers of tan to carry back up North. Having had very little warm weather and even less sun up on the Hanover plain this is sure a welcome change. I might start agitating to move the Big Green down closer to this booming metropolis in the South - it's an exciting city with a great deal to offer - and the southern hospitality is everything it's cracked up to be. Pat and Don Crance '43 are our hosts and we partied with Kelly and Jane Coffin, also '43, last night so we've managed to retain a slight flavor of the North. These transplanted northerners couldn't rave more about their new location and it's easy to see why.
Well, enough of this relaxation for awhile - on to the news, what little there is of it. I simply cannot understand how a class of 900 men who are obviously active in their communities and in their businesses can so completely stay out of print. I realize that you are all a bunch of modest geniuses but, for goodness sake, don't overdo the modesty.
Dick Hartman announced his candidacy for the school committee in Wilbraham back in February but I have not yet heard the results of the election. He has been serving on this committee for some time filling a vacancy and is now seeking the permanent appointment. Dick is a senior officer and investment secretary of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company and. in addition to this very important job, has been active in community affairs. These activities plus four children make for a very active life for the Hartmans.
Mark Byrne has been appointed vice president in charge of media planning of the William Esty Company in New York City. He joined Esty immediately after graduation and has been climbing steadily since that time.
Received a nice note from Mike Stein bringing me up-to-date on his activities. On July 1 of this year the Steins are moving to Providence, R. 1., where Mike will be associate professor of medicine at Brown University and Rhode Island Hospital. They are moving into a 130-year-old house with their three daughters, dog and two cats. The new address will be 104 Benevolent Street, Providence, and they welcome visits from all Dartmouth friends. On a recent visit to New York they saw Steve Kaplan and Larry Silberstein and in Boston keep in touch with George Reilly, Dick Shribman, Bill Jacobs, and Joe Masters. Having gone through the whole letter, I now realize that it was written by Mike's good wife Pauly and I am grateful to you for the news. Since your husbands are rather poor correspondents why don't more of you gals follow Pauly's example.
Dick Leary has moved to a new home in Silver Spring, Md. He is national coordinator - international service agencies in the nation's capital. Another change involves Edward Martin who has a new address in Tulsa, Okla. Ed is tax manager, central region, Humble Oil & Refining Company in Tulsa. Sandy Treat, who lives in Riverside, Conn., has come up with a new business address. Sandy is national sales manager of the Alcan Aluminum Corporation in Cleveland, Ohio.
My wonderful trip to Georgia prevented our being in Hanover for Class Officers Weekend, the first one we've missed in many years. Apparently it was a wonderful affair with '46 ably represented by Jack and JeanWhitman, Tom and Emelie Adams, FrankEttari, and Ralph Smith. A great time was obviously had by all under beautiful weather conditions and a perfect win record in all athletic events. As I understand it, the nighttime activities were great, too.
Our stalwart chairman, Jack Whitman, was honored by being elected vice president of the Dartmouth College Class Chairmen's and Presidents' Association. No one is more deserving of this honor and I am sure he will represent us well. Jackie and I were really sorry to miss the gang but look forward to future years.
Best regards from the hills.
