1943
As this column is written, at least 16 members of the Class, most with wives and some with children, are planning to return for the Fall Reunion. Next month's column will give you a full rundown.^
Last month I promised to include biographies received after the Year Book was put to bed and the following from Johnny Koslowski, our reunion golf champion, helps bring you up to date:
Began teaching at my alma mater. Governor Dummer, January 3, 1943 when the Navy, Army, Coast Guard, Air Force, and even WAC's would not have any part of me, due to all of my football injuries.
Governor Dummer closed May 27, married Stacey Cuik May 29, 1943. Following honeymoon joined Boston Braves, but decided I would be nothing but a wartime major leaguer, so gave up the professional baseball thought — only claim to fame is helping the Boston Braves move to Polish populated Milwaukee, since I was not good enough (a la Ted Williams) to help keep them here.
Taught and coached at Governor Dummer until 1945, when I shifted to Belmont Hill School for seven years, where I coached a few great hockey teams in a school with a great hockey reputation. The last four years they added the business manager's responsibility on me. This proved to be a most ideal way of life at a private school.
Began building house in 1950 and finished it in 1955. Five years of no golf, no social life, just work.
Left ivy towers of teaching in 1952 for business world, namely Boston Filter Company, an air condition, air filter, and water cooler company. Moved along nicely for eleven years, until a wonderful lady I worked for felt there was no place for me to go.
Began a recreation business in 1963 and have been at it up until now. We own a six-court indoor tennis center with fabulous synthetic grasses, a 23-lane Bowling Center and also distributing svnthetic products throughout New England. Have also managed municipal golf course. Our letter head reads as follows: distributors, consultants, contractors, operators, sports surfaces, equipment and enterprises. Stacey has been working off and on at the Harvard Business School to support the "Kos" education foundation.
All in all our health has been good, have played some golf and as an old man have come close to winning the State Amateur for the last two years. Even got mv first hole in one after 31 vears of golf - unbelievable.
Haven't made that great fortune but we are in there trying. If I had the first thirty years over again, I think I might have had some chance "of making it.
With elections around the corner, we have received information that Tony Farrell, Norwich farmer, entered the race for nomina- tion for a Windsor County, Vt., senatorial seat. We shall keep you advised.
Col. Arthur Cohen's wife Dorothy has written to sav that Art has been in Vietnam since the end of June and will be there for a vear as surgical consultant. His family is in San Francisco awaiting his return in the expectation that his new tour will be at I terman General Hospital.
Milt Binswanser. Dartmouth stalwart in Memphis, was unable to make reunion because he suffered a heart attack on June 15. The word is that he is recovering nicely and is back in the office working half-days.
Smed Ward, who suffered through reunion with his jaw wired up from an automobile accident - and thus able to take onlv liquid nourishment/refreshment - has just been made manager of Isotron Sales of Pennsalt Chemicals Corporation in Philadelphia, so any of you who need isotron fluorocarbons, just give Smed a call.
Bus Mosbacher has been named to the Board of Directors of United Merchants and Manufacturers, Inc., for another star in his flag.
Saw Martin Borofsky and wife Marian in Claremont, N. H., this summer. Seems that we have been shopping in Martin's clothing and sporting goods store for the past half dozen summers without realizing it. Martin recognized our mob by the '43 reunion shirts my boys were wearing. Small World!
Sorry the news is so sparse this month. To help get the ball (and controversy) rolling, I'd be pleased to receive your commentary on a comparison of the addresses given last June by Senator Javits and by the senior valedictory speaker. These appear at pages 20 through 24 of the July '68 ALUMNI MAGAZINE Commencement and Reunion issue. I shall also pass the responses on to HerbMarx, our new newsletter editor, so that the Class as a whole can have a more detailed rundown on your reactions.
Remember too, send pictures for a reunion supplement for 43's Biggest Spree.
