1929

Hope you all had a happy summer, and getting ready for the BIG 200 th, as well as the 40th for our esteemed class. Keep listening, and you will receive all the dope in the coming months. Incidentally, get those applications in for the Princeton game on October 12, as the Class will have a big shindig on that weekend.

Katie Black writes from Guadalajara that she and Dick will be leaving Mexico City, to take permanent residence in Hanover. Dick has been with Corn Products for 38 years in positions that have taken him to plants throughout Europe, Canada, Brazil, Chile, with extended residence in Argentina and Guadalajara. Dick and Katie grew up, almost neighbors, in Pekin, Ill., where his father was a judge, her father a doctor. After his graduation from Dartmouth, he and Katie remet, she having just finished at Barnard college. They have been married for 32 years. A Wah Hoo Wah for the Blacks, and the growing group of Twenty-niners on the Hanover Plain welcome them with open arms.

Paul C. Jameson has been elected an executive vice-president of National Distillers and Chemical Corp. He has been with the company since 1933, and was named vice-president of finance and administration in 1963, and also continued to serve as secretary-treasurer.

Al Downing writes to ask if we are to have an Informal Reunion in Hanover this fall for the Princeton game, and the answer is a resounding YES. The Class was represented this early summer at the sixth annual dinner meeting of the Dartmouth Club of the Hanover Area by the following: Janetand Paul Woodbridge, Bea and Joe D'Esopo, Alice and Bob Monahan, and Forest Brown, who was Paul's house guest.

Gus Wiedenmayer writes: "I recently received a brief note enclosing a photograph from Brett Sine. This grew out of my having met some mutual friends from Calgary during my winter vacation in Antigua. Obvi- ously Brett is healthy, wealthy and wise, and he plans to attend our 40th next year...." This from Bob Ramage: "Paul Woodbridge writes that there are no 1929 twenty-five-year books in storage, and this prompts me to add yet another post script to what seemed like a good idea only weeks ago. I can report the availability of three books in good condition, and one unbound copy. This came about as certain books were undeliverable at the time of distribution, and carried my name on the label. Now what? I await instructions of the Solomons of the Class. Since I'm here, I should report that our old house in Hopewell Junction has grown larger and emptier, now that the four young Ramages have flown, and that Statia and I have reached the time when a smaller house and yard begins to have appeal. We periodically go through the 'buy or build' discussion. Fortunately, there need be no 'where' argument. We agree that this part of Dutchess County is right for us. After twenty years our roots are deep, and of course this rural community is 'home' to the four we raised. We like to think of their coming back, with their children, as we get older."

Laflin C. "Bob" Jones was named by the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company of Milwaukee senior vice-president of corporate development and planning. Bob is presently a member of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra board, and is a past chairman of the World Affairs Council of Milwaukee, and is an officer of Lad Lake, Inc., a treatment center for emotionally disturbed boys. He is also a board member of Columbia Hospital, Milwaukee.

Someone spotted Levon Nahigian and the Mrs. strolling through the Hop to the Top. Data: Levon sporting a chin brush worthy of B. Shaw, but not quite up to the Chan Bete standard before he sawed it off.

Frank Sullivan sends along a clipping from a Springfield, Ill., newspaper featuring a Welcome Ad for Nelson Rockefeller, the day he made a major campaign speech. Frank said his speech will be well remembered, not only for what he said but for the energy, sincerity, and enthusiasm with which he said it.

Art Nighswander has been named assistant to the Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

We regretfully announce the death of Mrs. Virginia Parker, wife of the late John Parker. Virginia Bergeron has been employed as a child welfare worker in Coos County, N. H. She is the daughter of Attorney and Mrs. Arthur Bergeron.... Bob and Alice Monahan announce the marriage of their daughter, Linda Vail, to Ensign Henry Joseph Dresch.

Let's hear from all you fellows who have neglected us in the past. We want to know what you are doing.
