1922
The Class gladly adds its congratulations to myriad others received by Peter and Evelyn Kiewit for the National Brotherhood Award presented to Peter by the National Council of Christians and Jews. At a dinner with more than 1500 in Omaha, Peter said he accepted the award on behalf of many "who have labored long and hard in this great and growing city of .ours to promote better understanding among religious and ethnic groups." Dinner speaker John Dickey said: "We have great need to honor this kind of man because moving men toward brotherhood is the biggest job humankind will ever be asked by God or man to take on."
When President Johnson threw a switch for the 4000 lights of the National Christmas Tree on the Ellipse south of the White House, December 15, the event carried unusual significance for Stan and CatherineMiner. A traditional Vermont gift to the nation, this year's seventy-foot balsam fir came from Granville where a 79-year-old man had selected it and nursed it for 44 years. No, Stan is not that man, of course, but the tree did live and grow plumb in the district Stan represents in the Vermont Legislature.
Hope no Twoter failed to recognize that Anthony H. Horan '61, author of "Mt. McKinley Conquered," November 1967 issue of this magazine, is the son of our Frankand Betty Horan. Tony received his M.D. in 1965 from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia, interned at St. Luke's Hospital, New York, and is now serving as a medical captain with the U. S. Air Force in Vietnam.
Though it's no novelty to find classmates cited in diverse types of journals, still it was a bit bestirring to see our Dr. Gaylord W. Anderson cited in the Ladies' Home Journal last October. Yet Andy definitely belonged in the court of leading environmental health experts the Journal asked to select "America's Healthiest Cities," a judgment on the health, pros and cons of 24 large cities from coast to coast. With complete objectivity it certainly can be - and is - claimed that Andy's qualifications for such distinction are unsurpassed. Even in a class recognized for its rare scholarship he was admittedly somewhat above average: he was graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and with departmental honors in Chemistry. He then went to the Sorbonne, the University of Zurich, and the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences before switching to medicine and getting his' M.D. with honors from Harvard. Early in his distinguished career he became Assistant Director of the Division of Communicable Diseases, Massachusetts Department of Public Health, of which he later became Deputy Commissioner for several years. Thirty years ago he returned to his native Minneapolis as Professor of Preventive Medicine and Public Health at the University of Minnesota. For four years during World War II he was Chief of the Bureau of Medical Intelligence, Office of Surgeon General, for which duties he received the Legion of Merit award. He returned to Minnesota in the Mayo Professorship of Public Health. He is co-author of "Communicable Disease Control" and "Global Epidemiology," winner of the American Public Health Association Sedgwick Medal, and a past president of the Association of Schools of Public Health. He was also a National Committeeman on the Dartmouth Medical School Campaign in 1960. As Director of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health he now heads the country's largest school of public health with alumni in 50 foreign countries. Looks as though the Ladies' Home Journal recognizes professional competence, too, but '22 claimed you first, Andy.
And these notes could justly be charged with ungrateful negligence if they failed to thank Judge Sterry Waterman for alerting the scribe on the LHJ reference to Andy and to Frances Waterman for calling it to Sterry's attention. "Never underestimate the power of a woman."
Hearsay, hopefully true, has it that our 67-year-old retired Air Force brigadier general Will F. Nicholson is in fine fettle and serving as a senator in the Colorado Legislature.
"Phya Donavanik Montri was wearing his Dartmouth Indian head tie when he greeted us - Andy and Charlotte Marshall — in Bangkok. We found Don full of enthusiasm for Dartmouth, the Class, and recollections of Hanover days — including a diving contest in spring of senior year. He insisted that we be his dinner guests and he entertained us with extraordinary Thai hospitality."
Andy continues, "Don is a very important man in Thailand. Unfortunately, however, he has not been too well lately and frequently uses a cane. During dinner talk it developed, with great modesty on Don's part, that he was an advisor to the King and to the Crown Prince; he has been Chief of Mission for the nation at various southeast Asia conferences; he is head of the Thai Railroad Commission, and he founded and is president of a large successful bank. He is quite a guy."
Andy and Charlotte's nine-week trip to the Orient also began and ended in highly enjoyable visits with Twoters. Before sailing September 14 on a Norwegian ship of the well-run Wilhelmsen Line, the Marshalls had dinner with Wes and Peg Nutten and Buck and Laverne Perry. After a short stopover at San Francisco the ship sailed directly to Manila, berthed for two days and then crossed the South China Sea to fabulous Hong Kong for eight days. During this stay the Marshalls flew right over South Vietnam and our Da Nang airbase to Bangkok and its beautiful temples.
Returning to Hong Kong after their memorable visit with Don in Bangkok, Andy and Charlotte sailed to Kobe where they began a six-day trip through Japan. They visited Kyoto, Nara, Odawara (via the Bullet Train at 120 miles per hour), Hakone (by auto and Mt. Fuji in sunlit glory, and Tokyo with its 11 million people. Then by ship from Yokohama they returned to L. A. where Howie and Val Almon were waiting at the pier. And after dinner, Howie most appropriately showed slides of our 45th Reunion last June. Son Don and his family were waiting for Andy and Charlotte, November 11, when they arrived home in Bethlehem. And many a Twoter knowing just how comfortable it is to get home again will fully agree with Andy in conclusion, "Wonderful trip, but it certainly was good to hop into an extra long bed with a hard mattress."
As noted this month or subsequently in In Memoriam, Ed MacLaine has sadly left us.
