1956
The absence of a Class of 1956 column in the February issue is in large part due to a lag in the flow of your tales of conquest to my desk.
Emerson Houck, head agent for the alumni fund drive, whose address is Eli Lilly & Company, 740 South Alabama Street, Indianapolis, Ind. 46206, has suggested that some class members who have never had an opportunity to serve as class agents or assistant class agents might like to take part in the 1967 fund in that capacity. It is a worthwhile experience that should not be passed up.
My latest communication is from BillCarlson who is currently professing economics at Northwestern University in Chicago and living at 362 Jackson Avenue, Glencoe, Ill. Bill, Stephanie, and family will be moving back to Hanover in June where Bill will be joining the Tuck faculty next year as an Associate Professor teaching money and banking, finance and whatever else Karl Hill may have in mind for him. This is good news. One of the elements of a strong class is a good nucleus in Hanover. We have been fortunate in this respect ever since graduation. John Kirscher, Ab Oakes, Egil Stigum, and the rest should welcome this opportunity to further spread seasonal pressures on their guest rooms, iceboxes, and ticket-line tolerances.
Rick and Mary Worrell of 108 Johns Street, Providence, R. I., were reported to be immediately expecting parenthood. BillMagavern, Mary Worrell's brother, is in northern Vermont skiing at "one of the other resorts" at the very moment I am writing this column. A Christmas card from Lou Metzger places him at RFD #6, York, Pa. Lou and I had an apartment together immediately after graduation while we both worked for Mobil Oil Company in Boston. Lou still works for the company and, hopefully will fill me in on all the latest developments in the near future.
I was pleased to receive a post card from Steve Katz, carrying news of Air Force promotions. Steve, Cal Hinkle, and Dr. JohnWanamaker, in December 1966 all made the grade of Major. A newspaper clipping from a recent Hartford, Conn., "Sunday Courant" carried a picture of Edward F.Hennessey III, and the good news that Ed had been named one of the two new partners in the Hartford Law firm of Robinson, Robinson & Cole. Ed lives at 39 Beverly Road, Wethersfield, and is a member of the Hartford County, Connecticut, and American Bar Associations. Ed followed Dartmouth with a B.C. Law School and a clerking term with a U.S. District Judge.
The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. has named Mickey Bloomfield general agent at Toledo, Ohio. Mickey earned his Chartered Life Underwriters degree in 1965 and had been serving as assistant to NML's general agent in Cleveland. He received the National Quality Award from the National Association of Life Underwriters for the past several years and earned NML sales awards in 1960, 1961, and 1962. He and Barbara and their three sons have moved from Shaker Heights to Ottawa Hills, Ohio.
Terry Colby and Peter Metz '59, associates of the late Lyman H. Steele, will carry on a law practice at 574 Boston Post Road, Madison, Conn., as the firm of Daggett, Colby and Hooker. Terry got his LL.B. at the University of Virginia and has been associated with Daggett, Colby and Hooker at their New Haven offices since 1962. Terry and his family reside in Gilford.
Jack Wheatley of East Bridgewater, Mass., was named permanent assistant District Attorney for Plymouth County. His father John R. Wheatley is District Attorney. Jack went to Northwestern Law School and he and his wife, Priscilla have a son and a daughter. Sara Hirsch, Drama Editor of the Boston Herald, is a source of some interesting information about Bill Cohen who is now a theatrical producer. He pointed out that not only would Bill have two big shows in Boston this season but that he is a partner in an nvestment firm that specializes in underwriting plays and musicals on Broadway. His company, First Theater Investing Service, Inc., is averaging one big one out of every five. This year they are involved in "Cabaret" and "Walking Happy." Last season "Mame," "Sweet Charity," and "Wait Until Dark" had their blessing and I assume their cash. "The Heminway Hero" which is scheduled to open at the Wilbur Theater in Boston, February 13, in a pre-Broadway engagement will give those of you in that area a further glimpse of Bill's interest.
A picture of Sam Fry Jr., of the U.S. Embassy staff in Moscow, recently crossed my desk. Sam has been in the foreign service since 1961 following two years with the U.S. Army in Germany. He served with the U.S. Consulate office in Trieste, Italy, and in Washington as economist with the Deparment of State's Office of Soviet Union Affairs before being assigned to his present post at the Embassy in Moscow. The picture showed Sam accompanying a chap who had just been released on bail following his arrest. When in Moscow, keep Sam in mind
Lester Reid, now of Baltimore, Md., has recently married the former Estelle Connolly. Lester is studying medicine at Johns Hopkins Medical School, and Mrs. Reid is already a doctor.
Northwestern National Bank of St. Paul, Minn., has recently promoted Tod Driscoll to assistant cashier. Tod served as a Naval officer for four years following graduation and joined the Bank in 1963. Please help me to keep this column flowing by sending your news. If any of you get up to the North Country for skiing give a holler.
