1933
I have the sad duty to report the death of two of our classmates: Father Paul D.Collins and Jack C. Loose. Their obituaries appear elsewhere in this or a subsequent issue. Many of you knew them intimately and will particularly miss them.
Ed Knapp wrote telling me that Ken Hurd has been in a White Plains, N. Y., hospital. I don't have the exact name of the hospital nor do I know how long he will be there, but his home address is 2 Crawford Lane, New Hartford, N. Y. 13413 if any of his friends would like to drop him a card.
In an editorial in The New York Times on C.I.A. activities Mansfield D. Sprague, former Assistant Secretary of Defense, was cited for the work a committee he headed in 1960 did. It was especially noted that his committee had recommended to the White House liquidation of support by the C.I.A. to nongovernmental organizations in education, labor, publishing and other fields.
Dan Rollins was elected to the Board of Directors of the Garden City Trust Company of Newton, Mass. Dan is a partner in the law firm Rollins and Rollins in Brookline. He has been a selectman of Brookline and its town counsel for 23 years. He is a past president of the Norfolk County Bar Assn., president of the Brookline Co-Operative Bank, member of the Brookline Advisory Board, and active in several bar associations. He and Myrtle have three sons: Daniel Jr., an engineer and graduate of Boston University; Peter '63, now studying at Harvard; and Philip '57, a partner in Dan's law firm.
Walter P. Chrysler Jr., art collector, horse owner and automobile heir, has sold his stamp collection, estimated to be worth about $100,000, to an auctioneer in Fort Washington, Pa.
Burgess & Leith, members of the New York Stock Exchange, have announced that Walt Watson has been appointed manager of their Mutual Fund Department. Walt joined the firm the first of this year after an association of over twelve years with Putnam Fund Distributors where he was vice president and national sales promotion manager. In his new job he will promote sales of investment company shares for all four Burgess & Leith New England offices and act as liaison between Fund sponsors and the firm. He is a member of the Boston Investment Club and makes his home in Wayland, Mass.
Jeff and Bea Davis are on the last leg of their European trip as I write this and will be home before it gets in print. They report in several great letters the wonderful experiences they have had. Anyone who can write as well as Jeff has demonstrated has certainly earned nomination as a successor to the writer of these notes.
Before this column comes to your attention, you all will know of Bob Fox's stay in the hospital as the result of the old ticker kicking up. He is now home and writes that he hopes to make Class Officers Weekend in May. He is president of the Class Newsletter Editors Association this year, and it would be a great disappointment if he had to miss this meeting. This is a good place to tell you a bit about Foxy and his family. Bob is executive secretary of the Alumni Association of the Boston University School of Medicine. Bob and Babe have two daughters. Suzanne graduated from Bradford Junior College, spent a year at Reed Hall in Paris and a year between B.U. and Columbia, and is now Mrs. Kenneth Martin. Roberta graduated from Centenary Junior College and is now with her husband Bob Sandman and their son. Christopher. Bob is a West Point graduate and may be on his way to Vietnam by the time you read these notes. Back to the other Bob - Fox that is. He was in the oil business for 30 years having gone through a series of mergers starting with the Busfield Oil Company, then Colonial Beacon, Esso Standard, and Humble. He was involved in sales training and then shifted to the refinery at Everett, Mass. where he was public relations manager. He retired in 1962 and became director of public relations at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and then went to B.U. in February of 1964. He is a Rotarian, active in Everett's Chamber of Commerce, Salvation Army, United Fund and Y.M.C.A. and was active in Republican town politics when he lived in Wellesley. He is presently a member of the American Alumni Council and was a member of the American College Public Relations Association. He has one more year to serve to complete ten very effective years as our class newsletter editor (and here's a good place, Bob, to say "thanks from all of us!).
A few words about two of our Hanoverite classmates: .
Forrie Branch is now director of athletics at Hanover High. He has been a teacher of social studies there since 1937 and has been head football coach all that time too. He has also coached baseball and hockey and, after a few years' rest from hockey, again coached that sport (very successfully) starting in 1965. For three years Forrie has directed Operation Headstart for Southwest Grafton County, N. H. He is a member of NHIAA Football Committee, National Football Coaches Association, National Hockey Officials Association, National Education Association and New Hampshire Education Association. Barbara and Forrie's daughter Lois graduated from Keene State College and married Capt. John J. Howley who lost his life on a routine flight in 1963, a month before he and Lois were to have left for Madagascar on an Embassy appointment. Lois is now teaching social studies in the Lebanon Jr. High School. Daughter Judy is a graduate of U.N.H., is married to Leslie T. Jones, is the mother of the Branches' two grandchildren, and teaches figure skating and tennis at her alma mater.
William (Dumps) MacCarty took his M.D. at Johns Hopkins and studied advanced radiology at the U. of Minnesota. After four years at Mayo Clinic, he returned to Hanover where he is now chairman of the Radiology Department at the Hitchcock Clinic. He also serves as assistant clinical professor in radiology at the Dartmouth Medical School. He is a member of many medical associations and roentgen ray societies - national, state, area and local. Harriet and Dumps' son William III is a senior at Dartmouth and has been accepted at Dartmouth Medical School. It was a great comfort to know that Dumps would be reading my xrays on a recent trip to Mary Hitchcock.
