1943
The annual meeting of the Philadelphia Dartmouth Club brought to town such luminaries as John Sloan Dickey, Sraed WardBill Whitmarsh, George Tillson, and your secretary. While the class didn't win the attendance prize, we did enjoy a superb speech by President Dickey, who paid tribute to the long efforts of the Philadelphia Club in its support of the college. Smed Ward, dynamo of Pennsalt Chemical, looked unusually fit and tanned after a winter vacation seems to thrive under a traveling job that takes him away too much from his nearby Dowmngtown home. Bill Whitmarsh, who with his partner Bill Barrett '44 controls the wholesale lumber business in the middle Atlantic area, reported seeing Burrows Barstow in the city recently. Still living in Yardley, Pa., George Tillson has made another move with Bell Telephone to personnel management in eastern Pennsylvania, based in Bell's new Philadelphia office building (an architectural beauty) with the task of keeping many positions filled in these days of full employment. Missing at the meeting were Chick Webb, Sam Bullock, Al Stedman, Joe Koci, Harry Bishop, Charlie Dorkey, Bob Roberts, and Frank West. If they had shown up, we would have won the champagne.
Like watching political careers unfold? Well watch Bob Straub, state treasurer in Oregon, running for Democratic nomination for governor. Bob's business career has included contracting, lumbering, land developing, farming and ranching in Central Oregon. Politically, he's been a Lane County commissioner, state senator, Democratic state chairman, and state treasurer. "The Oregon Statesman" calls Bob a diligent campaigner, proficient in publicizing his ideas and aggressive in promoting them, and a strong candidate for his party. Bob is the second '43 to run for major political office along with John Altorfer, who made an impressive bid for lieutenant governor of Illinois.
And in another corner of the country Ed Porter, well-known Bangor radiologist, mixes a busy medical career with his candidacy for the Bangor City Council. Ed is presently a member of the school board, president of the Bangor Symphony Orchestra, and very active in medical circles. Claire and he have seven children.
