1942

Autumn's golden glow is around us as this is being written — by the time you read it all will be but fond memories. During the grey months ahead, there is one pleasant contemplation — Hanover in June. Plan now to put your family in the picture.

You can make a contribution to the 25th Reunion this coming June, even if you are not on one of the working committees. The Class is looking for merchandise of value which can be used as door prizes. If you or your company has merchandise that can be donated for this purpose it will contribute to the fun and enjoyment of the big weekend. If you do not make or sell anything which would lend itself to this use, perhaps you have a friend or associate who does. You could even run down to the local store and buy something to donate. Please contact: Milton Williams, Hayes-Williams, Inc., 114 East 40th St., New York, N. Y. 10016.

David Heald has been elected senior vicepresident of the Putnam Fund Distributors, Inc., as well as national sales manager and director of institutional sales. Bud Dutton is the new chairman of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.

Armstrong Stambaugh recently was named executive vice-president by the Howard Johnson restaurant chain. Armie will be in charge of administration. He had been associated with the Gulf Oil Corporation, most recently as vicepresident in charge of the eastern marketing region. Stam has been active in the United Fund of Philadelphia and the Chamber of Commerce and as a director of the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia.

Dexter Richards has a new position - vice-president and director of Investment Management Trust of Boston, a personal securities management service of the firm of John Kenney Associates, Inc. Presumably, Dex will devote full time to this venture immediately following reunion weekend. Dex has had almost twenty years' experience in private investment and has served on the advisory board of Investment Management Trust since its inception. He is a director of the First National Bank of Newport, N. H., and is a member of the Mercantile and the National Stock Exchanges in New York.

Ed Stafford has been recalled to active duty with the U.S. Navy to write a history of the Navy in Vietnam. He will be on the staff of the commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor and will spend time in southeast Asia to obtain information and data. Plans indicate an unclassified version of the history will be published for the general public in several years. The Staffords with their three children currently reside at Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Our sympathy is extended to Tom Moore whose wife Jane passed away early this year following an illness of several months. Tom is returning to full-time academic work with the department of surgery at the medical college of the University of Virginia at Richmond.

Our roving correspondent reports visits to Hanover for the purpose of admissions interviews by Pat Reily, Sid and BeverlyPatterson from Tulsa, Okla., and Dr. andMrs. John Glesmann - all accompanied by interested sons.

The University of Alaska reports that John Teal Jr., Professor of Ecology, has made far-ranging expeditions in the north country and "has developed significant knowledge on its living things. His work is humane and rehabilitative as well as practical, and is giving us a warmer kinship to our icy Last Frontier."

Miehle-Goss-Dexter, Inc., Chicago-based printing manufacturers, promoted John Hill to the new position of director of planning. John's corporate-level job encompasses longrange and product planning as well as the market research he has directed since 1958. He was recently elected president of the Graphic Arts Marketing Information Service, an industry-wide statistical collection and analysis organization sponsored by the Printing Industry of America.

Dick Nehring has accepted the job of Chairman of Attendance for our 25th Reunion. Dick stepped forward at Dex's request after Jim Ingersoll's move to Australia suggested the job should be taken over by someone a little closer to the scene. Dick holds forth at Nehring Brothers, Inc. (Real Estate & Insurance), St. Nicholas Ave. cor. 182nd St., in New York City.

Princeton weekend in Hanover was a large do for '42. Sixty classmates were present, mostly with wives. Two formal gatherings wrapped around two committee meetings, combined with beautiful-weather and a winning game made for a great weekend and preview of our 25th reunion next June. Of special note was Ned and Kayla Skinner's presence from Seattle, rewarded by son Dave's considerable playing time as back-up offensive center.

We'll all be hearing the beat of his drum loud and clear, and I'm sure he'll appreciate your anticipating his smoke signals by volunteering your plans about reunion attendance.

Secretary, 154 Washington Ave. Rochester 17, N. Y.

Treasurer, 9 Capitol St., Concord, N. H.
