1954

According to several of our classmates Horace Greeley was only half right. The Mid-West is the place to go, young man! Jon Moore journeys to Lansing, Mich., this month to join Gov. George Romney's political team as a special staff assistant on foreign affairs. In his new surroundings Jon may have a tough time explaining some of the press stories about him. The U.P.I, reported that Jon, who has just completed his fellowship at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, "has been closely identified with President Johnson's Vietnam policy."

The Mid-West has lured Tony Kane, too. He recently opened a Chicago office of his New York-based executive placement firm, Anthony Kane Associates, Inc. This organization acts as a confidential intermediary in the financial field between companies seeking new executive personnel and already employed executives seeking new job opportunities. Another denizen of the Windy City, after this winter more appropriately called Snow City, is Dr. Bill Gardner, who has a very active obstetrical practice there. Bill and wife Marilyn now have three children. In nearby Hinsdale, Ill., Gerry Smith is busily at work with the Turner Manufacturing Company, a manufacturer of well accessories.

Bruce MacIvor was recently transferred westward from White Plains, N. Y. He has been appointed by 1.8.M. as manager of its Cleveland manufacturing branch office, the second largest in the mid-western region of the data processing division. The MacIvor household was increased by one new child, son Daniel, last year, and one new house located in Chagrin Falls, Ohio (near Dave Gleason) this year.

Moving further west, we hear that Nick Deau has been named as a lecturer at the University of Minnesota and Mickey Sloane Th appointed by the University of ah as an associate professor in psychology. From as far west as old Horace would have liked young men to go comes word that Tommy Thompson, Bob Collins, and Tom Kong are doing a great job of corralling top applicants for Dartmouth from the Santa Barbara-Ventura, Calif., area. When it comes to politics, however, Tommy and Bob find themselves on opposite sides of the corral fence. In the recent gubernatorial elections Bob campaigned actively for Pat Brown while Tommy was rooting for his favorite actor.

There are still enough opportunities in the over-populated, air-polluted East to keep most of us here from moving. A case in point is the rapid rise of Tom Myers, who has been promoted from marketing director to - president in the brief time he has been with the New York advertising firm of Norman, Craig & Kummel, Inc. Another good example is the advancement of TomClarke in Wallace & Tiernan Inc., a manufacturer of chemicals, industrial equipment and pharmaceuticals based in East Orange, N. J. Tom joined W & T as a C.P.A. and tax manager in 1962 and soon became assistant treasurer. Last November he was elected treasurer of the company. Tom, wife Charlotte and their two children live in Montclair, N. J.

While on the subject of families, it's opportune to report news of the engagement of Charles "Pete" Davis to Elizabeth Jones, a graduate of U.N.H. and the Columbia University School of Nursing. Pete is associate administrator at the Mary Fletcher Hospital in Burlington, Vt., and Elizabeth is executive director of the Visiting Nurse Association in Burlington. This also seems like a good match professionally. Dave andJacqueline Sices became proud parents again with the arrival of son Harry Julien on Nov. 15 last. It was a girl for Don andVirginia Berwick on Jan. 16, 1967.

The numerous doctors in our ranks continue to make news. Ed Horton has been named assistant professor of medicine at the University of Vermont Medical School and he will join the faculty in July. After a surgical internship at Johns Hopkins, Ed served with the U.S. Army in Germany. In 1961-62 he returned to Dartmouth Med. School as a research fellow in pathology. Since then he has been at Duke as a medical resident and held a number of teaching posts. Bob Riggio is presently a clinical science fellow at the New York Heart Association and spends most of his time at Cornell Medical School-N. Y. Hospital working on the treatment of chronic renal disease and transplantation. Wife Maureen is also a doctor, serving as an eye resident at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York.

So as not to have this column sound like something from an AM A Journal, we turn now to the latest activities of Dr. KenSchramm, a member of the Goddard College, Vt., faculty. Several issues ago this column reported a speech by Ken warning of the dangers of LSD on the campus. In a recent address delivered to the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D. C., he spoke out on a different subject. Ken stated that we live in a "racist society" where we "respond with napalm to 'protect freedom' and head start programs to 'break the cycle of poverty.'" Also on the speaking circuit, but on less controversial topics, has been SinclairHitchings, Keeper of Prints at the Boston Public Library. A popular lecturer at the Library, he talked recently on the subject of "Explorer Artists of New England." In addition to his other activities, Sinclair has been able to continue his writing. He is the author of a new guidebook to the Massachusetts State House.
