1954
Having just returned from a restful vacation in sometimes sunny Florida. I eagerly looked' forward to wading through a pile of class news items which would have arrived in my absence. It seems that the mailmen and all of you must have been on vacation, too, since the cupboard was quite bare. At Hollywood Beach, I ran into Bill and Joanne Kass with their children Tommy and Debbie. A fellow lawyer in New York City, Bill is a partner in the firm of Matson, Kass and Goodkind. Bill reports hearing from Bob Clements whenever the latter passes through town. Bob and Marilyn now have five children and theirs is one of the largest families in the Class.
Another Fun City practitioner of the law, Ron Lehrman, also has been traveling South, but Ron's sojourns are strictly business, or so he says. Ron is with Langner, Parry, Card and Langner, specializing in international patents and copyrights and frequently has to consult clien's in Central America. He is of course quite fluent en Espanol. I was able to gather these tidbits from Ron when I recently met him enjoying a busman's holiday at one of New York's finer Spanish restaurants.
It was like a Roman holiday in the Short Hills, N. J., home of Bill and Jane White on March 11, 1967 when chubby James Terry made the scene. Needless to say, Bill's three daughters, Linda, Jodi and Tracy, were delighted by the arrival of their first brother. Bill is hoping that young Jim will carry on the White family tradition of participation in Dartmouth activities. When he heard the good news, Bill dashed out and had all the diapers printed "Go Green Go."
Congratulations to Dave Lyon who received the Distinguished Service Award from the Hamburg (New York) Jaycees.

The award, which made him "Man of the Year" in Hamburg, is given to "an outstanding member of the community who has contributed unselfishly in a variety of ways to the progress and well-being of the town during the year." Dave is vice president of Cryogenic Supply Company.
From Upstate New York comes word that Robert Gilman, an assistant professor of chemistry at Rochester Institute of Technology, has been awarded a $13,000.00 Petroleum Research Foundation grant by the American Chemical Society.

Subsequently, he received a fellowship to the National Research Council of Canada where he completed his post-doctorate work. Prior to joining the R.I.T. faculty, Gil was a research chemist for W. R. Grace & Co. and a visiting assistant professor of chemistry at Williams College. Pete Townsend is also involved in the field of chemistry. He is manager of employee; relations in the chemical coatings division of Mobil Chemical Co. and is based at the Mobil home office in New York City.

From personnel relations we turn now to personal relations. On March 4 of this year. Buzz Clark was wed to the former Marian Cardone at St. Cecilia's Church in Boston. Marian is a graduate of the Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene. The Clarks will live in Boston.. The engagement of Pete Davis to Elizabeth Jones was reported in last month's column. Now we can report that wedding took place at the College Street Congregational Church of Burlington, Vt., on Feb. 11, 1967. After a skiing honeymoon, the Davises settled down in their new home with the appropriate address of 29 Hanover St., Burlington, Vt.
Another newlywed, Bill Mansfield, has been making news in other areas. He is the author of an article entitled "A U.S. Embassy Officer Visits Remote Svalbard" which appeared in the January 1967 edition of The Department of State Newsletter. The article is an account of Bill's visit to a remote Norwegian archipelago in the arctic while serving at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo.
Turning again to the warmer climes, word comes from the Riegel Textile Corp. of Aiken, S. C., that it has appointed George Morris as manager of production in its consumer products division. Prior to this appointment George served as plant manager of The Warner Brothers Company, a leading foundation garment manufacturer. George and wife Mary live in Aiken with three daughters, ages 10, 3 and 1.
Booge Tayntor has won more honors from the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company. He has been awarded membership in the Honor Table of the President's Club. This, the highest award which can be conferred on a Connecticut General sales representative, was given to Booge in recognition of his "outstanding contribution to society through professional service to clients." Another Connecticutite receiving recent honors was Jerry Post who was elected president of the Naugatuck Valley Dartmouth Club.
In neighboring Rhode Island, Brad Borden has made news with his promotion to assistant vice president by the Citizens Savings Bank in Barrington. Formerly associated with the General Radio Corp. in Concord, Mass., Brad became an assistant treasurer at Citizens soon after he joined it in 1965. He is manager of the systems design and programming division.
By the time this column reaches you, everyone should have completed taking his spring vacation but not yet have embarked on his summer sojourns. During this interval, how about dropping me a line as to your comings and goings.
