1958

With June only three months away, we need all the class support we can get to make our Reunion the swinging success we know it will be! So you guys who have yet to reply to Gary, please hurry it up! And ... jot down some personal info for the column on the back of the dues slip! News is hard to come by!

November wedding bells were ringing for two of our fellow classmates. John Germani and Mary Patricia Powers were married in Osterville, Mass., and are now living in Yarmouthport. In Middletown, Conn., George Nessler and Virginia Banks spoke the marriage vows. George is a metallurgical consultant and mechanical engineer.

John Coulter will soon be joining the aforementioned ranks. John is engaged to Catherine Louise Coulton, a fellowship assistant with the Rockefeller Foundation in New York City. John is practicing law in Poughkeepsie.

Rev. H. Carl McCall, accorded a hearty Wah Hoo Wah in last month's magazine, has been figuring in other publications as well, since Mayor John Lindsay made him deputy administrator of New York City's Human Resources Administration. He has written an article on the anti-poverty program for the New York. Times, and is the subject of a profile in the Chicago publication Jet. Small wonder, when you consider he is responsible for the operation and coordination of a program whose combined budgets total over a billion dollars.

Dues slips brought us news from several men in the medical profession ... and, unlike most prescriptions I've seen, they were all perfectly legible! Dr. Ken Kaplan is an instructor in medicine at the West Virginia Medical Center in Morgantown. He's serving a two-year stint with the U.S. Public Health Service as his military obligation. Next year Ken will move his family back to New York City where he will begin a year's fellowship in cardiology at New York University Hospital. Dr. Bob Timothy will finish his residency in urology at Peter Bent Brigham University Hospital and then take his wife and four children to England for a year before setting up practice. Sounds like a pretty good idea! Dr. Jack Wolper has just completed his residency in ophthalmology and is now working on a subspecialty study under a grant from the Heed Ophthalmic Foundation. When this study is completed, Jack plans to set up practice in or near Boston. Jack can give us the details in Hanover in June. Dr. Mark Saginor is practicing in Beverly Hills, specializing in internal medicine and endocrinology. Mark and his wife also plan to join us in June.

Bruce Gemberling writes that he's working in Newark, N.J., as field sales administrator for Celanese Plastics. Bruce plans to attend Reunion also.

Last year was an eventful one for Mamoru Mitsui. Mamoru is now the proud possessor of a U.S. citizenship and he and his wife Mike, the proud parents of an adopted baby girl! Mamoru began working for the architectural firm of Andrew C. Isaak in Manchester, N.H., in January.

Line Mitchell hasn't lost any of his literary talent enjoyed by all of us in "The Dartmouth" ten years ago. Dick (Puffy)Stoddart received the following letter from Mitch, dated January 26, 1968. "Dear Lt. Stoddart: We represent a programmed textbook company, which has been awarded a contract by the Department of the Navy for the development of an advanced course for commissioned officers. Entitled 'Modern Navy in Action,' the course will include materials edited by J.P. Jones, will be taught by senior line officers of the Italian and Egyptian Navies, and will feature sections on 'The Craft of Gathering Intelligence Without Risk,' 'Peaceful Capitulation,' "Never Give up the Ship ... Without First Radioing Your Position,' and 'I Almost Began to Fight.' All graduates will receive 'The White Handkerchief' to be worn at all times in combat zones, and will be given a survival kit consisting of a pair of black pajamas, 'The Teachings of Mao,' and a predated confession. I am confident that you will wish to enroll immediately, in order to keep abreast of modern trends in your United States Navy. Very Truly Yours, Lincoln A. Mitchell."

On that note, gentlemen, I bid you adieu till next month, (signed) Your faithful secretary.
