1959

Here we go with the last issue before the long summer layoff. Once in a while I hear a complaint in friendly fashion about the contents of this column. Some people say it contains news about the same people every time; others say that it seems to stay in certain fraternal circles; others say it's always about guys they've never heard of and never knew, so they don't bother reading it. I'm afraid the solutions to any shortcomings lie in the hands and the pens of each one of you. At any rate, try to build up a good store of exclusive material over the summer so I can start with a bang in the fall.

An interesting letter came from Captain Bob Worthington (see photo) who is now stationed in Viet Nam at Da Nang. He is a deputy senior technical advisor to the Quang Nam special sector there. He was not one of those evacuated from Da Nang during the recent internal struggles and thus saw some rather interesting sights. The photo was taken at about 9:00 A.M. on Saturday, April 9, during the evacuation of all U. S. and allied personnel. Bob also teaches English to about fifteen Viet Namese officers and enlisted men (male and female) for an hour each night. He says he really enjoys it. His wife and two daughters are staying in Columbus, Ga., where he bought a house three years ago. For those of you who might care to drop him a line, his address is: Adv TMI DNG GAR APO, San Francisco 96337. I'm sure he would appreciate a note.

The president of the Dover, N. H., Jaycees recently announced that Joe Nadeau was selected as Dover's outstanding young man for the year 1965. The list of Joe's very fine accomplishments during 1965 was included in the article and from reading it one can easily see why he won the award. Congratulations, Joe. You and I will have to get our heads together on the Dollars for Scholars awards business someday.

Bob Batson is currently an industrial engineer for the United States Rubber Company out in Harper Woods, Mich. I guess it's easy to tire on that kind of a job. Out Chicago way, Bob Carter is working for the Inland Steel Company. That's probably a good test of his mettle. Keeping things legal, Bob Davidow is a law associate with Squire, Sanders, and Dempsey. He lives in Warrensville Heights, Ohio. Jim Henander is practicing dentistry out in Louisville, Colo. I'll bet his family is well drilled. Daveand Cynthia Marshall and family have recently moved from New Jersey up to Canadaigua, N. Y., where Dave is still in the packaging business. Let's hope he's not always in the bag.

By the time you read this issue GordyWashburn will have married Patricia Ferry of Kokomo, Ind. Gordy is now at Harvard Business School. Sig Ginsburg, recently promoted to assistant manager in the Administration and Personnel Services Division of the Personnel Department at the Port of New York Authority, just became a senior management consultant in the Office of the Deputy Mayor-City Administrator of New York City where he will work directly for the Deputy City Administrator for Management Science. This July he and his wife plan to go to Europe for a month. Vic Kins recently changed his address from Ann Ar bor, Mich., to Plainfield, N. J., but what he is doing I am not sure. From Mexico Bob Berg writes that he is now working as a special projects director for International Research Associates.

Al Munro was in town recently with his wife. They were up for an alumni lacrosse game down at Kimball Union Academy and were taking the opportunity to have a little vacation without kids - a good idea in any man's book. Speaking of lacrosse, I recently heard that the New York City team on which Randy Malin and Moose Morton play is sporting a great record (undefeated at last report), but, nevertheless, they were referred to by the Princeton outfit they recently tangled with as a bunch of old men. I guess it depends on how you look at it Sometimes it's the profile that gives you away; other times it's the hairline, or lack of it. I saw Ward Burian recently at a function in New York City. He enjoys banking very much, is losing a little hair himself in places, and may soon give up the hectic Long Island life for that of a country squire way up in northern Westchester. At least he was house hunting when I saw him.

And that's about all I can muster this time in the way of news. Maybe the summer will turn up something. On the other hand, as I look out the window today (May 9), it is snowing again for the third straight day so perhaps we won't have any summer at all. At any rate, I hope you have the minimum of bad sunburns, lost golf balls, lousy departures for summer trips, crab grass, high temperature humidity indexes, transit strikes, and money bet on the Yanks and the Mets.

Army Infantry Captain Bob Worthington'59 found a Dartmouth Alumni Magazine awaiting him at mailcall on April 9during the evacuation of all U.S. andallied personnel from Danang, Vietnam,so, despite all the activity, he took a fewminutes for a quick perusal.
