1925
Two members of the class represented the college at inaugural ceremonies last fall. Bill Jenkins was a delegate at Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., and Carl Bridenbaugh was a representative at Providence College.
We mentioned in previous notes the birth of Charles F. Moore, IY in October. About a month later, Charley's eldest daughter, Deborah, and her husband, Peter Geithner (Smith '60 and Dartmouth '54) presented the proud grandparents with twins: Jonathan and David (the latter arriving 3½ minutes after his elder brother).
Bob Misch has been appointed to serve on the new "Wine Committee for the State Department," whose function is to counsel embassies and legations on wines, especially of American vintage, and their service. Ralph Tucker and Ruth recently returned from an interesting ship-air-rail trip to South America on a three-week vacation, which included visits to Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. He reports that much of the area is still unspoiled by a great influx of tourists, but warns that one should get his doctor's o.k. before venturing into some of the mountainous areas where the altitude reaches as high as 23,000 feet. He admits that even 14,000 feet was a bit rugged.
Johnny Garrod has sold his place in Maine and bought one in New Boston, N. H., "smaller (less for Drue to maintain) and nearer (to son, Miles, and the grandchildren in Milford) - also to Hanover." He plans to keep the new place open year 'round and use it weekends to make sure he likes it before giving up his place in Wellesley.
Herb and Emily Talbot are reported to have spent Thanksgiving week at Hanover with their grandson and Herb's father. Walter Stockmayer was moderator of a recent panel discussion on the topic "Can the United Nations Keep the Peace?" held in Filene Auditorium and sponsored by the Cosmopolitan Club, a group composed of students interested in foreign affairs, and the Upper Valley Chapter of the United Nations Association.
Al kirouac. who was billed as a "specialist in data processing and methods control" gave a talk recently to the Credit Managers Association of Southwestern Connecticut at Bridgeport. Al is branch manager for Burroughs Corporation, with whom he has been associated most of the past 30 years. Whitey White, president of Bryant and Stratton School, recently sponsored a lecture-demonstration dinner, attended by guidance counsellors and principals of public, parochial and private secondary schools to learn about "The Two Year School of Business - Its Role in Eduation." In comparing the modern business school with its predecessor, Whitey said: "It is no more like the schools of three or four decades ago than IBM is like a blacksmith shop." Matt Jones reports having been unable to attend reunion because of a coronary, but is now in fine shape. Bob Smith is another one who has been laid up since March, but he's now spending a few hours each day at the office.
Sid Milnor, after 34 years in school work, retired at the end of last year. Of interest to those who were in the Northeast blackout area last fall is the fact that Marty Huberth was among the very few who never lost their electricity. Maybe that's an incentive for retirees to move into Marty's area! SkyFoster reports he was unable to be in Hanover last June because of the wedding of his younger daughter, Bronwen. HarryClark has retired and last fall expected to get down to West Palm Beach to avoid the northern winter weather. Ken Nugent is still another one who is enjoying retirement. The last word on him was that he was planning to spend the winter in Florida and to take off in April on a drive all around the U.S. Which reminds us that on the first of next month your secretary will be shoved into the realm of retirement after 35 years of faithful service with Mutual Boiler and Machinery Insurance Company.
Jack Per-Lee is enjoying a new and stimulating experience as president of the Larchmont University Club, comprising 180 New York business and professional men.
Karl Friedmann, as president of Girard College, finds himself right in the middle of an acute problem created by the 135-year-old will of Stephen Girard, which established the college for "poor male white orphan children," and the Civil Rights Act. The highly controversial case was thoroughly covered by an article in the October 21, 1965, issue of The Reporter, published in New York City, under the caption "Philadelphia Negroes Challenge a Will." The main issue of course is the sacredness of one's will, the provisions of which may be out of keeping with changed conditions which could not possibly have been visualized at the time it was drawn up.
