1935
It's back to Toronto for our esteemed Class Chairman, Bobb Chaney! Bobb and Shelley were in Chicago during the Thanksgiving holiday to visit daughter, Susan, and a brand new granddaughter (a real cutie, named Cindy Ann) and announced that Bobb is leaving the advertising agency business to join Bristol Myers Canada Ltd., as vice president of Corporate Development. He'll be working for Dick Brierley '36, who is president of the Canadian firm.
The move is a somewhat traumatic one for Shelley. It's a question of houses. A year ago they sold their "dream" home in Toronto. This spring they built a pool in their New Canaan home, and Shelley was set to retire there. But now, it's back to househunting again. Before moving, however, Bobb and Shelley will be hosting a Christmas party to announce the engagement of their youngest daughter, Mary, now a senior at Northwestern. Oldest daughter, Sally, still manages to elude the pursuit of many eligible beaus.
The Chaneys' return to Toronto will be welcome news to Anne and Harry Ferries. In a recent card, Harry had written "I am the only '35er in Canada. We have an active alumni club here in Toronto, and we're sending a few more hockey players to Dartmouth." With Harry and Bobb both recruiting we'll expect big things from the Green, when that new hockey rink is finished.
The younger generation provides several romantic items this month. Maury RapP's daughter, Geraldine, was married November 30 to Hugh Van Dusen, son of the former president of Union Theological Seminary. Howie Croninger's son, Fred Howard III, is engaged to Martiecita Perry, a Montevideo beauty whom he first met when dad was running things for GE in Uruguay. She is now a senior at Skidmore.
Maxine and George Goodman report that their older son, Elliott, is engaged to Andra Goddess of Lawrence, Mass., and the wed- ding will have taken place by the time this column appears. Don Hagerman writes that his son plans to be married in March. Don and Ibba already have two married daughters, with two children each, and their youngest daughter is now a freshman at New Hampshire.
From Arizona, Saul Deitel writes: "Rose and I celebrated our 25th this August. Our daughter, Paula, and her husband are with us, while he attends the University of Arizona, preparing to enter dental college. I'm still vice president of our locally owned department store chain, Myerson's, Inc."
A newsy note from John Bryant, an ex-'35er who finished up at DePauw. "Have practiced law in Grand Rapids, Mich., since graduation, with two years out for duty as a C.I.A.agent in WWII. Two children, both now married, and expecting our first grandchild in April, courtesy daughter, Carol, and son-in-law Robert Kerr. Son, lohn, graduated from DePauw last June and is doing graduate work in psychology at the University of Indiana. But Uncle Sam wants him at the end of the present semester."
The class was well represented at the Yale game. Jean and Al Sherwood reported seeing Corinne and Bob Naramore, Babs Bankart (Reg was in Europe on business), Ginny Steinle, Phil Hemphill, Harriet and Gordon York, Dick Hube, Ginnie and Tom Lane Doc Mills, Joe Parachini, Carolyn and Sax Ziemen. Helen and Ed McMullin, Holly and Ernie Draper and Art Bamford. While it was tough to lose, the weather was perfect (75 degrees), and all agreed it was something to see Yale's Dowling in action.
With the start of another skiing season, Sel Hannah is spreading his empire and putting the whole family to work. He writes "Opening a Denver office for Sno-Engineering. Joan is teaching skiing at Vail. Lucy and her brood inn-keeping at Waterville Valley. Frank '64 is teaching at Andover. As soon as young Sel '65 gets out of the Navy, hope to turn more responsibilities over to him - and have time for farming. Paulie directs us all."
Ted Harbaugh drove up to Detroit to attend the kick-off dinner for the Third Century Fund, and writes: "Had a chance to visit with Barbara and Tom Wilson. RemRyder was on hand as president of the Detroit Club. Also, Chuck Moon, whose brother Phil is area chairman for the campaign."
Coincidentally, the same mail brought a note from Chuck himself. "In October, 1967, my wife Miriam passed on. It now appears that I will re-marry in 1969 to Janet Crow, a long time family friend widowed earlier this year. She is a Radcliffe graduate and friendly to Dartmouth, as well as to me. Am practicing law as a municipal finance specialist, with much intra-state travel."
Chuck Dinneen acknowledged a birthday greeting with the following: "As you probably know, we have a son, Bill, at Dartmouth, class of '71. Our daughter is at Northwestern, a Pom Pom girl and captain of the girls basketball team. So you see, we are growing old!" So are some of the rest of us, Chuck.
Al Sammis also has a son in Hanover, class of '70, and writes: "Must confess a general absence from Hanover, until our No. 2 boy entered. Being submerged in medicine leaves little time out. Did see the Princeton game. Some changes in Hanover! Sigma Chi to???? And Chi Phi to what is it?" Good questions, Al. Wish I knew the answer.
From Fay Allen comes news that he is building a home just up-river from Hanover, at Thetford. Fay is practicing law at Bradford,Vt.,and reports "Wife Julie is fine. Son John '62 on his fourth year of teaching English at New Trier High (Winnetka, Ill.). Daughter Cherry gave us a lovely grandson a little over a year ago, and and lives in Westchester where her husband teaches art at Mamaroneck."
Also moving back to the Hanover area is Jim Huntley, whose piano playing has been a highlight of recent reunions. Jim reports that he was unsuccessful in getting proper work or treatment in Deming,N.M., where he had retired after a heart attack a year ago. So he has moved back to White River Junction, and looking forward to our annual get-together next fall.
Tom Swift and Bill Short got together recently to celebrate Bill's birthday. Bill writes: "Enjoyed a few glasses of wine at Tom's new home in Santa Rosa. He's still very big in poultry - over one million chickens. I'm assisting in the production of hardware in Lockheed's new Airborne Systems Division."
BRIEFS: Phelps Lurie has written an erudite paper on the Psychologic Pain of Rhinoplasty. Maury Rapf's by-line is seen frequently in Life, as the author of their movie-review column. Sid Diamond authors a regular column in Advertising Age on copyrights and business law. Herb Shuttleworth was written up in the October 9 issue of Investor's Reader, as he pursues further mergers for Mohasco, a firm he already has built into a corporate giant in the carpet and furniture business.
A sad note in closing. Jim West passed away November 2, after suffering several months with an incurable neurological ailment. Further details will be found in the "In Memoriam" section in this or a subsequent issue. The Class extends its sympathy to Billie and their children.
