1954
The long standing drought conditions in the East certainly went down the drain this summer. One of the brighter sides of the recent dismal weather is that it brought a flood of news for this column. With all the additional time indoors quite a few people finally got around to writing about themselves.
For Ed Moore this was happily a wet summer. In August Ed entered his 41-foot eight-man sloop, "Zinganee," in the 605 mile long Fastnet Race held at Cowes, on the Isle of Wight in Great Britain. Ed's competition included Princes Philip and Charles. The Moore rooting section ashore included wife, Martha, and youngsters, Marian, 10, and Ed IV, 9. Cheering from stateside were John, 3, and Diana, 4. Ed reports that his sloop, which was built this summer in Denmark, is the sister ship of a sloop owned by John Summerlin, which took part in the Martha's Vineyard race held on Labor Day weekend.
Bob and Barbara Levine spent this summer on a camping trip along the Maine coast. This was quite a change from the previous summer which the Levines spent in Amsterdam, London, and Paris, where Bob was on a special assignment for the accounting firm of Ernst & Ernst. While in the Netherlands, Bob spent a weekend with Dutch and Sally Oudheusden and their four children. Dutch heads his own export-import business, servicing the Benelux countries.
Another of our overseas entrepreneurs is Andy Guilliano whose firm in Caracas, Venezuela, represents Stanley Tools. Andy reports that he's looking forward to visiting Hanover again with his wife and children and driving through the mountains "to imbibe that frosty air, now much needed for these tropically acclimated lungs of mine." Mike Payson has been doing a lot of traveling of late, too. Mike recently joined the World Bank as an economist and moved with his wife and four children to Chevy Chase, Md. In the performance of his "chores," Mike is likely to spend four months each year on the southern Mediterranean coast. He appraises his position as one which "fulfills bourgeois notions of propriety as well as sophomoric lust for international affairs."
Paul Wilson, his wife, Phyllis, and their four children, all boys, were also recently on the move. Paul has been admitted as a partner in the accounting firm of Arthur Andersen & Co. and has transferred from Boston to their Newark office. You may have read about the welcome given Paul on his arrival in Newark this summer. Joining Paul as partner at Arthur Andersen is Charlie Morrison, who is moonlighting as Reunion Chairman for our fabulous Fifteenth. The reunion will be held this coming June 21-June 23. Don't forget to save those dates now! More details will be given to you at a later time.
Hopefully Bill Bryan will be with us for this reunion since he was a bit distant for the last one. He has left his position as senior lecturer at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, to join the staff of the geophysical laboratory at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D. C. Bill earned his M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin. There's been a change of scenery, too, for Lew Brackley, who has moved from Manchester, N. H., to Natick, Mass., and now works for the Dennison Manufacturing Company.
From Cincinnati comes word that DaveLewin has been named a director of the H. A. Seinsheimer Company, which manufactures VarsityTown clothes. Dave is a member of the National Association of Credit and Fanancial Management and has been with Seinsheimer for the past thirteen years. Since 1959 he has served the company as credit manager. Dave and wife Sally reside at 3764 Langhorst Court in Redleg town.
There is also some matrimonial news for this column. In May Charles Ginning went to the altar with Theresa Mary McAndrew at St. Mary's "Church in Avoca, Pa. After a honeymoon at St. Thomas, the Gainings settled down in Summit, Pa. Charles is a cost accounting manager with R.C.A. in Scranton and Theresa is an accounting clerk with R.C.A. This sounds like one set of figures the accounting department found to match.
An ex-S.A.C. navigator has been steering a new course in the sometimes troubled waters on the domestic front. Bob Curtis, who is also an ex-Congressional page, exdramatic actor, ex-advertising executive and an ex-TV film producer, is now a Paulist seminarian and assistant director of a most unique enterprise in Warrensburg, N. Y., known as the Summer Place. This nonprofit social center, supported by the citizenry and local churches, was established to provide a place where all the young people, working during the summer time in the various nearby Lake George vacation resorts, could gather and relax after work. An average of 4,000 summer workers from forty states, ten countries and 152 colleges took advantage of the center last year. Bob's multi talents will certainly be put to test!
The events of this summer in the Middle East were of great concern to Bob Collins, who is co-author of a recently published book entitled "Egypt and the Sudan" (Prentice-Hall). This scholarly work traces the history of these two countries, with emphasis on the events of the 19th and 20th centuries. Looks like Bob is going to have to publish a supplement fairly soon although chances are he won't have the time. Bob, an associate professor of history at the University of California Santa Barbara, has just been appointed director of the Center for the Study of Developing Nations at UCSB. This center is intended to promote and coordinate research related to modernization in the new nations and in those older states with comparatively undeveloped economic and political systems.
Also from California we hear that the Bob and Ann Spears family recently had a new addition, daughter Carolyn Lee. She joins Robert, 8, and Betsy, 4, as perhaps the best medically cared for children in our class. Bob is a pediatrician on the staff of the Los Angeles County General Hospital and assistant professor of pediatrics at U.S.C. The only difficulty for Bob is that even when on vacation with the family, as this summer at Medicine Lake, Calif., he can never get away from all his patients.
It was a boy, Eric Peter, for Don andBarbara Berlin on June 22, 1967. This is the second son for the Berlins, Geoffrey, 5, being the heir apparent. Don, an attorney in East Orange, N. J., is a Republican County Councilman and on the Board of Directors of the Morristown Y.M.C.A. Another Jerseyite, Walt Clarkson, has been appointed manager of the Mindowaskin Club, an outdoor Westfield (N. J.) swimming organization. This is a summer job since Walt is kept quite busy during the rest of the year at Westfield High School as English and journalism instructor and as track and cross country coach.
