1959
A fairly good reserve of news has built up. I'll try to spread it over two months.
State Mutual Life Assurance Company of America recently promoted Dix Davis to assistant treasurer in the Mortgage Loan Branch and elected him an officer of the company. Dix is active in affairs down in Worcester, Mass. and lives in nearby Holden. Howie Greene left the Princeton Admissions Office to join the staff at Fieldston School in New York City. He is serving as an administrator and teacher for the upper forms. Tom Seesel has been named director of the State Housing Finance Agency in New Jersey. The agency was created by the state legislature to issue bonds to finance middle income housing construction and rehabilitation in decayed urban centers. Tomand Francie Aley are now living in Medfield, Mass., and I assume Tom is still with the American Hospital Supply Corporation as the Regional Sales Manager. Vic King and his wife Jasmina now live in New Jer- sey where Vic practices law with his father. Vic went to the University of Michigan Law School and graduated last spring, having taken time out to get married and make a few weekend trips into the north country where his wife, an anthropologist, had a few favorite digging grounds. They now do the same along the Maine coast. Jasmina is working on her doctorate in anthropology.
Bob Carter is now back working with Inland Steel after completing six months on a special assignment with the staff of the Chicago Merit Employment Committee of the Association of Commerce and Industry. He handled the youth motivation program and the publicity for the Committee. He spent much time in the inner city. He sent along one of the brochures. It is a tremendous testimony to the success of the program. Eddie Hobbie has formed a partnership with his former associate and the firm now bears the title Chamberlain and Hobbie, Counselors at Law. The shingle hangs in Hillside, N. J. From Scotia, N. Y., comes word from Kent and Barb Neilson. Kent is still on the corporate audit staff of General Electric. He's on the road for three- or four-week periods and always looks forward to getting back home. Can't say as I blame him. Geoff Hands is an associate in the Chicago office of McKinsey & Co., an international management consulting firm. He and Eleanor have two sons, Bill 4 and Bob 5.
Mike Kistler went through some interesting maneuvers last October. He resigned his commission as a Navy Lieutenant so he could re-enter the Navy as an Ensign and qualify for the Navy's Medical Reserve Program. He is currently studying medicine at the University of Washington and will go back on active duty as a Lieutenant for his internship and residency after he finishes med school in June. According to the New York Times, Moose Morton expects to play defense once again this spring for the New York Lacrosse Club. He's a broker on the New York Stock Exchange where he plays both offense and defense.
Bill Linder is now living in Israel where he teaches English with the hope that he can do so for a good many years. MartyHauptman is presently at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida serving as a Captain. He's anxious to get his wife and two children back to New York as soon as possible. Marty, it's 16° below zero up here today in the Northeast. Al Brown has assumed responsibility for operations research with the A. O. Smith Corporation out in Milwaukee. Jim Bybee received a Master of Science and Engineering at UCLA last March. His first child, a daughter, was born this past October. Jim is presently employed by Astrodata Inc. of Anaheim, Calif., as an electronics engineer working on digital computers. Ted Robinson is an assistant regional director for a firm in Darien, Conn., which deals in nation-wide real estate. He lives in Greenwich, has two sons (one seven and one four and a half) and is secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Greenwich.
Congratulations to Jim Roddy. He has just been elected to membership in the Midwest Stock Exchange. Jim left New York to go with Scharff and Jones Inc., investment bankers in New Orleans where he held the position of vice president. Jim also reported he and Virginia have a son Jim Jr., born last summer. They make their home at 1828 Carrollton in the Mardi Gras city.
Stu and Flicka Freeman recently had a young daughter, Tobi Judith. Stu is assistant treasurer of Madison Square Garden Corp. Al Munro has been elected president of the Kimball Union Academy Alumni Association. He has always been one of KUA's top class agents and has served as a member of the alumni scholarship committee as well as on the executive council of the Alumni Association. Al also manages to pick up a lacrosse stick whenever he visits the campus and organizes a game against the students.
We have a whole batch of matrimonial events to report on. Hartley Paul and Elizabeth Anne Shaw were married on December 2 out in Yakima, Wash. In November, BillMaistrellis married Maria Planes. He is presently a senior resident at Boston City Hospital in the surgical service. BUI Sweet married Hannah Young in San Francisco last November. Last October, Jim Taylor's engagement to Nancy Carr was announced by Nancy's parents. Jim went from Dartmouth to Boston College School of Social Work. I'm not sure whether the wedding has come to pass yet or not. There was no mention of the date. And finally, Kurt Wehbring married Ann Shankland in October down in Eastchester, N. Y. Kurt is an urban planner with the Stanford Research Institute. He received a Master's degree in City Planning in 1963 from Columbia University School of Architecture. Ann is an editor with the Stanford Research Institute, so commuting should be no problem. I assume they will reside within Menlo Park.
That's all for now. I thought I had more news than I really did at the start of this gossip session, but I'm completely out. Send some news before you start working on your income tax.
