1944
After a long tour with the Navy, Dr. BillTrier has settled down in comfortable Chapel Hill where he is professor of plastic surgery at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. Bill had been chief of the plastic surgery service at the Naval Hospital in Bethesda. His major research interests have been in the treatment of burns, cleft lip and palate management, tissue banking and homografting.
I'm sure you all know that Fritz Hier is back in Hanover after years of circling the globe for the U.S. Information Agency and Radio Free Europe. In his new capacity Fritz will serve as associate director of the office of Public Programs at Dartmouth. Fritz, Joan, and the boys are making their home in Cornish Flats.
Elsewhere in the world of education, Junle Hoffman has decided to give up his outstanding practice with Cleveland's largest law firm (where incidentally he is a partner) to become a professor of law at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Junie, you'll recall, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year at Dartmouth. After the war he won degrees in Russian at Harvard and Columbia, then decided to go to the Yale Law School. He should be well equipped to sprinkle a bit of Ivy League flavor on the Arizona plains. Bruce Thomson ran into Junie fighting for a taxi in New York last June and reports he looked wonderful.
Another successful Cleveland attorney, Bob Williamson, was appointed associate director of development and assistant professor of management at Kent State University. Bob, too, won his Phi Bete key, but picked Harvard for his legal schooling. Art Kiendl, long-time headmaster of Mount Hermon School, was recently named to the board of trustees of Bennett College in Millbrook, N. Y.
Insurance executive, Benny Jones, has been elected first vice president of the Community Council of Greater Springfield, Inc. The Yale game will have another large '44 contingent in the stands. I had occasion to chat with Hose Craig on the phone the other day. He and Liz together with the Buffi Hills will be among the number of Ohioans making the trek. They'll join the Braces, the McElneas, the Marshes, the Glineses et al. for the annual toot.
Military correspondent, John Mulliken, is temporarily back from the wars and working out of Time's Washington office. DaveMcGuire is the owner and operator of the Stonington Boat Yard in Stonington, Conn., a good stopping-off spot for you yachtsmen. Retired Colonel Dick Paul is a student once again. Unable to get the military out of his blood, he's at Culver Military Academy. Shih-Yueh Wang has come back to North America, is now residing in Montreal. In Littleton, N. H., Jay Downing is operating Downings Garage, a good stopping-off spot for you skiers. Art Scharf is down in Santiago, Chile, with Mobil Oil de Chile Limitada. Dr. Bob Lindsay is now practicing in Doraville, Ga.
Bill and Nancy Davies are New Yorkers after five years in Beirut, Lebanon. Bill has been appointed Secretary for Mass Communications Overseas of The United Presbyterian Church's Com- mission on Ecumenical Mission and Relations, with headquarters at 475 Riverside Drive. In Bierut, Bill was director of program production for the "Radio Voice of the Gospel" and responsible for Arabic programs recorded there for broadcast from Addis Abba. Before going overseas, he was with the Milwaukee Journal's TV station.
At a recent board meeting of H. E. Col- well Sons, Inc.. Bob Colwell was elected president and Harry Colwell (assistant v.p. of Chase Manhattan Bank) secretary. The Colwell organization is one of the oldest and certainly the most successful real estate and insurance agencies in New Rochelle. Judging from his affiliations, directorships, admiral-ships, etc., one might suspect that in Bob we've a Mayor Curley for West- chester to contend with.
It was good to hear from Ken Thomas '21, secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Central Florida, about John Vandegrift. John, manager of public affairs for Grumman Aircraft, was honored (and incidentally presented with a $2,000 check) for winning the Sherman Fairchild Air Safety Community Award at a recent Washington, D. C., luncheon. Ken reports: "John has been a loyal and active member of our club. A few years ago he was president. Now that he's working at the Cape, I'm afraid we won't see him too often and will miss him at our monthly meetings."
A plaque and $2000 check go to JohnnyVandegrift '44 (r), winner of the nationalSherman Fairchild Air Safety Communication Award, presented by Mr. Fairchildat a Washington luncheon.
