1959

Everything is bleak as I write this one. It's the Monday after our discouraging loss to Holy Cross, it's a raw, rainy day and there's no news. So, I'll have to resort to the information cards, once again.

Before I get going, I'll put in another plug for our 10th Reunion this coming spring. We are getting more organized every week, and a number of interesting plans are in the works to make it a lively, worthwhile weekend. As I mentioned before, the Bicentennial celebration will add nicely to the list of activities, and we hope to combine several of the returning classes to put together a seminar-panel discussion that will enable you to listen to and react to some of our undergraduates. Let's just say that we're trying to arrange it so that the activities as well as the food will stick to your ribs. What will make the whole thing hang together will be good attendance and the spontaneous fun of renewing acquaintances.

Now to the news.

Rog Condit has joined the staff at Franklin County Memorial Hospital over in Maine. His practice is in the field of family medicine, a field he worked in during his residency at the Maine Medical Center in Portland. The Torrington Manufacturing Company recently appointed Paul Faxon as sales manager of its western division in Van Nuys, Calif. Paul will direct the sales of all the Torrington fans and blowers in the western states and will supervise the division's internal and field sales staff. In these restless times with so many people popping off, one wonders whether or not we need any more fans and blowers, but good luck with your new responsibilities, Paul. I hope the transition from Dayton, Ohio, to California has been an easy one for you and Carol.

Marshall Chrostowski is currently at the University of Wisconsin as a member of the Geography Department. Stan Davis is practicing medicine at the Scripps Clinic out in La Jolla, Calif. Mike Kistler is serving at the U. S. Navy Hospital down in Jacksonville, Fla. I hope to run into Mike during my travels down that way in December. Barry Smith is practicing medicine down in New Jersey. Dick Bareuther is with the Scott Paper Company, also in New Jersey. To my chagrin, I find that Tom Bartlett is right back here in Hanover teaching in the Department of Physiology at Dartmouth Medical School. I haven't seen him yet, but I suppose I will hear about his taking someone over the coals on the squash courts. John Lampe is with the Department of Government at Texas A. & I. University in Kingsville, Texas. Ray LaSure is practicing medicine down in Washington, D. C. And Stu Mackler is doing the same thing down in Nashville, Tenn. We sure aren't hurting for doctors.

Joe Marx is keeping them honest out in Littleton, Colo., in the manufacturing business. I'm not sure what it is he peddles, but, whatever it is, no doubt Joe can sell it! FredScribner is practicing law down in Boston, Mass. He lives on Rutland Square. Pete Wolford is in sales for the Gustin Bacon Division of a manufacturing company out in Marina Del Rey, Calif. Joe Wattleworth is down in Rockville, Md., with the Kelly Scientific Corporation. A little further south, in Blacksburg, Va., Tom Adriance is an Assistant Professor of History at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Teaching the language I never could learn, Dave Anderson is at Penn State University in the French Department. Tres bien! That about exhausts my French vocabulary. Dr. Charlie Eytel is still doing his stint in the armed forces. He and the clan are now located down in Jacksonville, Fla. And the rash, of doctors continues. I guess we haven't begun to scratch (Pun!) the surface. Gene Wegner is practicing out in Madison, Wis., Al Snider is still diagnosing people down in Piano, Texas, and Frank Reuling is doing the same in Vienna, Va.

I'd better save the rest of these cards for later in case the shortage of detailed news continues. I'm sorry to make this sound too much like who's who, hut, on the other hand, the purpose of this column is to get the facts before you with some degree of accuracy, rather than to provide good bedtime reading material. No doubt I have helped a good many of you to get off to sleep, though.
