1943
Don Crance, you are right. I should read my mail. Pat wrote last fall about the swinging Crances and Coffins taking over the beach at Hilton Head Island. And now the Crance family, living in the Paris of America — Atlanta, are planning the June wedding of daughter Stephanie, nursing student at Beverly, Mass. ... Don, your old friend, Bill Moseley, particularly asked about BobBarnum, Bob Costello, and you in a recent letter. I haven't seen or heard from Barnum in about six years, and old Costello, onetime stalwart of Prof. Nemiah's Classical Civilization course, stays silent, despite kudos from this column on his fine. TV work. You might write Bill a letter at 872 Sun Valley, North Tonawanda, N. Y., where he is Industrial Relations manager for American Standard's Bond plant (radiators, boilers), Buffalo. Previously, he was with Rock-well Manufacturing Company in Ohio and Pittsburgh. Bill has a freshman daughter at Cornell and a son finishing high school.
Howard Leavitt by this time is stationed in Rio de Janeiro for two years with the USAID program.. . . Rochester's Ed Leene worked in a European trip for Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriters seminars and visited London, Hamburg, Zurich, and Paris. ... Dick Reid is the Rev. Dom. Benedict Reid, 0.5.8. of St. Gregory's Priory, Three Rivers, Mich., where in his monastic calling he remembers his classmates in his prayers. ... Tom Schroth moved his family to a new home in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, needing more room for the Schroth little girls. Tom edited Congressional Quarterly's new book, "Congress and the Nation," now in its third printing. Charlie Dorkey must be proud of son Charles, one of nine boys from the Philadelphia area accepted on early decision for next year's freshman class.
Rev. Joe Koci gets wonderful press in Philadelphia for his work at St. Peter's Episcopal Church and its affiliated school, founded in 1709. Joe reorganized it into a day school in 1961 with nine students, admitted girls last year, and this year offered nursery through ninth grade with an enrollment of 82. Joe's choir boys appear on TV and sing in choruses with the Philadelphia Grand Opera.
Popular Bob Clark is the new director of the Cheshire National Bank in Keene. For all his fun and good nature, Bob has had a tremendous service in the Keene community from politics to charity and his range of activities in these fields is impressive. ... Art Brown is a professor of the department of religion and philosophy at Bates College. ... Norm Probstein operates two fine motels in St. Louis, Bel Air East and West, though they really are hotels. His East is the latest in St. Louis and very popular. Probstein is a good name to remember when arriving in that city without reservations. ... Bill Alexander, Capt. USN, has departed from duty on the Joint Staff in Washington for command of the "USS Mississinewa (AO144)," a Navy fleet oiler deployed to the Mediterranean with the Sixth Fleet.
All the world loves a lover - especially when he's a '43. This guy has two sons, Mike, a Dartmouth sophomore, and Pat, a University of Miami freshman, took a fling at college teaching in Texas and Indiana, moved each to New York as director of the information department, American Foundation for the Blind. After the death of his wife, he went about encouraging these fine sons, met a wonderful and beautiful Egyptian girl at the United Nations, courted her for a year. Last November 13 Fatma Salem and he were married in L. A., then a long automobile honeymoon cross-country to New York to their new apartment. Their first child is expected in August. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy than Dan O'Connor. Much happiness to Fifi and him in their new life.
After 17½ years with the University of California, Joel Clark left to become Associate Director-Business Affairs and Secretary of the Board of Trustees, Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation, a highly specialized institution in La Jolla providing patient care and basic and clinical research. Sounds like a dynamic and exciting place. Joel keeps in touch with Dartmouth, will listen to the spring Glee Club concert in San Diego. Proving our small world, he celebrated the Dartmouth-Princeton game with Commander Tim O'Neil '50, his next-door neighbor, an old close Navy friend of mine, and one of the great Navy instrument pilots. Joel plans to return for that twenty-fifth in 1968. How about you?
