1959
The due dates for this column don't waste any time in coming around. Especially in the fall when I have road trips to think about, it seems that as soon as I hand one in and leave for a few weeks, I return to find the next one due or past due. I should have had this one in last Saturday, but I made the mistake of listening to the Yale game instead. Thanks to dues cards, though, there is some news to pass on this time.
Sam and Nancy Adams recently departed the suburban Chicago area to take up residence in Salt Lake City where Sam is working for the Anaconda Company. Art Wolff has recently been named the resident director of the Philadelphia Theatre of the Living Arts. Art plans to do five plays during the 67-68 season on a rotating basis. Captain Bob Worthington is back from Vietnam and has been assigned as Commanding Officer of a company at the U. S. Army Infantry Training Center at Fort Benning, Ga. Dr. Roger Miller, now a captain in the Army, completed a medical service officer basic course in September down in Texas. He was trained in applying his previous medical knowledge to combat conditions in the field and learned the use of field medical equipment, evacuation procedures, and preventative medicine techniques. Rog and Virginia now live down in Columbia, Md. Avery Allen was recently named an assistant cashier by the Central National Bank in Cleveland. Avery has served in other departments with the bank for the past five years.
IBM transferred Gerry Scott to Philadelphia last January where he has been promoted to the position of account representative for the Pennsylvania Railroad. The Scotts' second daughter, Susan Pine Scott, was born on May 23. Mike and Carol Hirsh have returned to Rochester, N. Y., where he is a resident in pediatrics. They had been at Westover Air Force Base in Chicopee, Mass. Mike served as a captain in the pediatrics clinic there. I have always wondered whether or not Air Force babies are affected by the sonic boom - or better yet, whether Air Force families have more babies because of the sonic boom! John Folmer is practicing law with his dad in Cortland, N. Y., and keeping up with his trombone by playing with the Cortland College Community Orchestra. Jim O'Neil is working on a Ph.D. in English at N.Y.U.
June brought another addition to the Roger Agre family. Lynn Robyn was born on the third of that month. Rog is currently in the Army stationed at the Valley Forge General Hospital - another '59 doctor. And still another - John Roberts has been appointed to the faculty of Western Reserve Medical School in the department of physiology. Joe and Marse Dare don't send any news, but they do enclose a clipping and ask for an explanation. They ask why a certain columnist in discussing the Republican party says that "its most serious members who pride themselves on their sense of responsibility and who have belatedly developed a dim understanding of the new economics," are referred to by cynics as "the Dartmouth College wing of the party." I personally don't know how to react to that, Joe, but I have passed it on to some of the professors who might have some insights. The whole column, for those of you who didn't see it, deals with the fight in Congress over the President's proposed tax increase. The Dares are presently living in Erie, Pa.
A good word from Bob and Sharon Bartholomew out in Reno, Nev. He cordially invites any Dartmouth men passing through to gamble, get married, get divorced, etc., to look him up. He is there on an assignment with the U. S. Public Health Service. Al Snider jots a note from Archer City, Texas ("I'm sure you've heard of it a thousand times," he says) that he has just started a private medical practice there. I'll bet most his patients are the guys who get injured doing the Marlboro ads. Marty Sherwin, wife Sue and daughter Andrea moved to Berkeley, Calif., this summer from Los Angeles. He wanted to get a head start on things before the fall quarter and teaching rolled around. He was appointed an acting assistant professor in the history department at the University of California. He says the "acting" part of the title is not a reflection on his antics as a lecturer but an indication that he is still working on his Ph.D. thesis. Marty has seen Herb Finch and Rod Snow a number of times. Rod and Sue and their family are living out that way while Rod does a residency in pathology after two years in the Air Force. What diseases attack the hippie who is allergic to flowers, Rod?
And more doctors! Myron Lewis is now in Louisville, Ky., with the Public Health Service working in communicable diseases. He also teaches at the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky. MickeyCohen and wife June are presently devoting their attention to their first child, three-month-old Matthew, while Mickey serves as senior resident in medicine at the V. A. Hospital in Boston. He will soon become a fellow in pulmonary diseases at Boston City Hospital.
I guess I better save the rest of these dues slips for my next several columns. I saw Tom Taggart, Charlie Tell, and Don Davies on one of my recent trips. They are attempting to give the enrollment effort a shot in the arm in Columbus, Ohio. We had a nice gathering at Tom's house. All three men are lawyers.
I hope the holiday season treats you well. Remember, when the eggnog and plum pudding start to look pretty good, most of us no longer lose weight, we just shift it around. By the way, a good comeback to your wife when she asks you what the neighbors will say if she wears one of those knitted mini dresses - "They'll say I married you for your money!" Oh hem, that one's a little short on humor. Pun!
