1939
Al Tishman wrote a gem of a letter back in December to a few of our members who had forgotten to pay their dues. He concluded, "I'm sure most of you must have won at least $10 on the Dartmouth-Princeton game which you are not declaring as income, so send it on to me and take a deduction." Good advice. Al reports he attended The Game "with one of my old, and I do mean old, roommates, John Hess, and one of our classmates, Mike Ellis. It's amazing how I can continue to look so young and Hess continues to look so old." They all spent a pleasant weekend enjoying the marvelous cooking of John's wife Jan in New Hope, Pa.
Tom Brooks has been appointed director of marketing for the fiber products division of the Kendall Company. Tom will direct the sale and distribution of all fiber products including non-woven fabrics and industrial cotton specialties. This appears to go all the way from thick felt to sheer silk, and the finished products are used by the jewelry, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic indus- tries. We were glad to see Tom's honest face on the front page of the Walpole, Mass., weekly (circulation 3,280) and we're real proud of you, old friend!
The Minnesota Business and Industry Magazine named Dave Lilly their Man of the Month recently. Dave, as you know, is president of Toro Manufacturing Company in Minneapolis, where he and Bob Gibson have improved the prewar sales figures of about one million dollars to almost 24 million dollars in 1964. Dave is active in many civic and community programs. His photograph proves that his formula for happiness (fishing around Nantucket, skiing and golfing regularly, and running a successful business) is the secret of Eternal Youth!
That master of wit and wisdom, JockoVincens, spoke on "Trinkets to Treasures" at the Zonta Club of Albany last fall. The distinguished editor of our Reunion Book certainly can choose an all-encompassing subject. He's another guy whose picture could be used on the brochure for a barber's college. We envy those old ladies who come in to see him at the bank as their trust officer and go out of his office in hysterics.
Wes Godlng is assistant vice president of Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. in Boston. Bob Bailey was graduated in December from the Advanced Management Program held at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. Coming from every continent, 160 business executives participated in a thirteen-week program preparing mature administrators to assume the responsibilities of top management.
Our top authority on Cuba, ArmandoChardiet, who is preparing a book on Latin American history, spoke recently at the Suffield Academy Forum, while John Steele, who introduced Armando in the panel discussion at Reunion, was himself a panel member on national television in January.
Zeke Hill spoke on "Shelburne, the museum of the American Spirit" at the November meeting of the Peterborough Historical Society, and Bill Green spoke on his recent trip to the Soviet Union to the Milford Unitarian Women, also New Hampshire. The Milford weekly paper, after heaping richly deserved praise on our boy, concluded enigmatically: "Following his talk Attorney Green will answer any questions from the audience, of which there should be many."
One of the heart-warming clippings we have read tells of the school committee in Wakefield, Mass., considering a suggestion that the new Greenwood elementary school there be named in honor of their foremost hero, Captain Robert V. Yeuell, who was killed in action in Germany on November 18, 1944. Bobby was a good man, and we can proudly endorse the suggestion.
A note from Joe Urban relates that Harriot organized the family's seventeenth move to Wellesley, Mass. Their son Rog (Dartmouth '65) has entered the graduate school of business at Stanford while son Doug has started track and a bit of studying at Choate.
Walt Martinson has just been elected secretary of the Quincy, Mass., Kiwanis Club. He gets to Hanover regularly as treasurer of the house corporation at Gamma Delta Chi and keeps his shoulder to the wheel as a Certified Public Accountant.
If any of you need some red sandstone, try Tom Foote at General Crushed Stone in Easton, Pa. They produce all types of building materials. Tom was able to make that great Princeton game.
Another lucky character was Dr. DickHadley, who sent an extra check to AI Tishman "as my Princeton friends were most generous."
Not so lucky was Jack Haverfield, as this Princeton game was the first one since 1954 that Fred Dol! and he didn't attend together. Fred had to return to Florida to look after his Post and Paddock Restaurant in the Bay Harbor Hotel in Miami. Jack, incidentally, writes a glowing recommendation of JohnMecklin's book on Vietnam "Mission in Torment."
Rog Stanwood, who has been trying to maintain two houses 200 miles apart for over two years, moved his family into a town house between Christmas and New Year's. He was afraid they might end up in the "nut house" instead. Rog found himself in Washintgon on gas transmission business the week before the Princeton game so — guess what — he managed to be in Palmer Stadium, too. Rog recommends "total energy" buildings, especially since Reddy Kilowatt had such a tough time. His employer, incidentally, is Transco, which supplies three quarters of the natural gas to Manhattan.
The two Mike Ellises were justly proud to report that their son Gordon was accepted at Dartmouth on early admissions. Mike is working on some new plays for Broadway and will keep us posted.
The new president of the Charles River District Medical Society is Dr. Dave Reid, who practices in Weston, Mass., where he is currently chairman of the Board of Health.
And for an election report we switch you to Dayton, Ohio, where Bob Davidson made his move into power politics by being elected to the Oakwood School Board. He is busy trying to move all their buildings to the banks of the Pedernales and get Sargent Shriver to run their PTA.
Paul Winship, you know, is in charge of development at Bennett College. He writes that they are currently renting near the college a little old place which consists of 19 rooms, 7 baths, and 200 acres. His daughter Tudie is in her sophomore year at Smith, Debbie is with American Express in New York, John is a junior at Loomis and was the center on their football team (coaches, please note), and Mike and Tim live at home and go to the schools in Millbrook, N. Y. Paul is planning the big Seventy-fifth Anniversary weekend at Bennett in June.
We are told that you may reach Capt.Myles Weston at Intel Div (PD) Hq USAREUR, APO, New York, N. Y. The latest word on Jim Parks comes from Mobil Oil de Mexico, Mier y Pesado 210, Mexico, D.F. We all wish Hank Schueler well at his new address at Apt. 7, 5030 Gulf Blvd., St. Petersburg Beach, Fla. Comdr. Jim Pringle is at U.S. Navy Comm. Station in Norfolk, while Jake Lynch moved across town to 3 Gracie Lane in Darien. Bruce Learned has changed his address to 318 "A" St., NE, Washington, D. C., while Charley Goodrich has moved again to 3 Eastview Drive, Simsbury, Conn. Anyone living in Stamford, Conn., should look up Bud Bodge who is now living at 107 Saddle Rock Road there. Bob Bryant, who has been with the Foreign Service since graduation, is now at the American Embassy in Santiago, Chile.
I have the feeling this column sounds like Merit Badge Night at the Court of Honor. Way down South here we just don't get any reports from you all of murders, rapes, or other crimes, but we do have a growing pride in the solid achievements of all of you. Please help a bit with the next column!
