1959

Thanks to the Dartmouth News Clipping Service and some of you dues payers who wrote notes on the back of your notices, we have a few things to report this month.

We have at least one holiday season wedding to announce. Pheobe Crouch of Denver married Harry Shaw out in the shadow of the Rockies recently. And one engagement: The parents of Carol Stroll announced her engagement to Les Larsen back in November. No mention of when the wedding will be.

From his wife, we have word that DaveFoster is presently serving in Viet Nam having left the U. S. in August of "66. She and the children are staying in Willingboro, N. J., while Dave is away. His address: HQ USARU G3 (LTCTILLER), APO San Francisco 96307. Drop him a line. Bob DiMauro writes of the birth of his second child and first son, Christopher, back in October. He is serving as a resident in radiology at the Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. Ron Butt sends news from Concord, N.H., that the X chromosomes have won out - two sons Peter, age 2, and Jonathan, age 6 months. Word has come from an alumnus in the medical profession that Stu Mackler is a staff physician at the U. S. Public Health Service Hospital in Carville, La. He joined the service after completing two years of surgical residency at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, Mass. He and wife Liz ought to be pros at the Mardi Gras by the time they get through down there. JimBurke writes that he and Angela have a new baby boy, Christopher Robert, born early this fall. Jim has left the advertising agency he was with to join Time, Incorporated, in the Life Advertising Sales Division. Lt. "T. C." Davis is presently on board the "U.S.S. Hanson," a destroyer currently engaged in short bombardments in the Saigon River. They recently participated in bombardments off the north Vietnamese coast. I guess you can't say that we have another man in Vietnam, literally, but he's close enough. Kind of makes you sit back and think about your own life a little.

Sorry to skip around from topic to topic, but I haven't time to organize all these slips. Back to weddings, Fred Lockyear married Mary Ann Stowell out in Albert Lea, Minn., last August and the two are now living in Los Angeles where he is an account executive with the E. F. Hutton Company. Wally May was married back in April of 1965 and expected his first offspring at about the time he was writing his dues slip. He is presently with an advertising agency in Minneapolis.

Bare Wellman writes that he and Diane had their second son, Taylor Austin Wellman, on April 2, 1966. After spending three years in the Army, Bare went back into the interior design business and has since been elected a member of the American Institute of Interior Design. He is still a captain in the Army Reserve, so he still has a few nice Sundays to give to Uncle Sam. It really looks like we have plenty of Dartmouth sons to deal with in the future in this office, as if we don't have enough to keep us busy now. Jack McLaughlin jotted a quick squib about the birth of a son, Thomas Darrow McLaughlin, on November 5, 1966. The Charlie Eytel clan is really expanding. It's about five strong now not counting mommy and daddy. Lori Ann was born on November 7. They have a pretty good balance between the boys and the girls. And another girl; this time born to Jack Tomkovich and his bride. Jack writes that with the birth of Teresa Jeanne he still has no potential Dartmouth sons. He was recently elected secretary-treasurer of the Montana Dartmouth Alumni Association and had a great reunion with Bob and Mona Young and Jack and Sally Wells when they were up in Montana in August. We've had quite a contingent from Great Falls over the years.

Gene and Barbara Wagner have a pretty good existence going. They live right on a lake in Madison, Wis., where Barbara does television commercials to help bring home the bacon and Gene serves as a medical resident in the Department of Radiology at the University Hospital in Madison. Last year he spent time as a Research Fellow with the American Cancer Society, had several of his papers accepted for publication in various medical journals. The two spend their spare time sailing, water skiing, playing tennis, and golf, etc. Sounds good. Sorry I missed you, Gene, when I was in Madison this fall. I did see John Icke who was in quite a rush so we didn't have time to chat.

Once again, I'd better be a little bit Scotch here and save some of these items or I may have nothing for the next edition. Things go well in Hanover. Of special interest to those of you who know the milk run along old Route 5 in your sleep, should be the opening of the last stretch of Interstate 91 about a month ago, which now links Hanover and Northampton on a fourlane basis. I made it in an hour and a half the other day (just passing through, of course). I guess it's time to start thinking about the 1966 income tax. Remember Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, and Cutty Sark aren't medicinal deductions, but sometimes do have a lot to say in the creation of a $600 exemption.
