1953
Can a '53, loyal and true, once accustomed to the reliable amenities of Heineman's Chicago & North Western Railway luxury commutation service, ever find real happiness on the New Haven? The answer, sadly, appears to be "no," as Barry Schoder, together with wife Ginger and sons, have left Darien to return to Winnetka. Barry is sales manager of Chicago printer R.R. Donnelly's new electronic graphics division, which is principally involved in composing type via computer. This modern development has led to thinly veiled suggestions that the literary quality of ALUMNI MAGAZINE might be measurably improved by computerizing the class secretaryship, but our union is tough and adamantly opposed to progress.
Mayor Daley has put out the welcome mat for Bud Schweich too, as he has left St. Louis beer, steamboats, arch and all to stage manage "Plaza Suite" at Chicago's famed Blackstone Theatre.
In Washington, D.C., Bill Teare has been appointed president of Bru-El Graphics, Inc. A newly acquired subsidiary of the Bureau of National Affairs, Inc., Bru-EI provides computerized phototypesetting and other associated graphic arts services. Bill was formerly associated with the Data Processing Division of Fisher-Stevens, Inc., also a subsidiary of BNA. This promotion has necessitated a move for the Teares from New Jersey to 7057 Wolftree Lane, Rockville, Md.
Herb Hartley takes his alumni status seriously; his address is Dartmouth Street in Forest Hills Gardens, almost within jogging distance of his office on Manhattan's Park Avenue, where Herb is now an account executive with McDonnell & Co., NYSE firm, having previously been with Kidder Peabody in a sales capacity.
Doctor Ken Snell reports that among the current burdens of his group radiology practice (seven other radiologists, dispensing rays in several hospitals and offices to the north and west of Boston) is a Tiger partner who accompanied Ken to the Princeton game in Hanover. Ken confidently looks to Coach Blackman to relieve the burden next fall with his usual triumph. Ken lives in nearby Lexington at 20 Slocum Road with wife Carol, and daughters Vicki (8), Cindy (3), and Suzie (¼).
Lawyer Bill Andre reports having seen fellow member of the bar Marc Loost, as- sistant general counsel of General Motors' international division. Other news of legal significance is that Fred Dorkin has been named assistant secretary of Susquehanna Corporation, whose headquarters are in Alexandria, Va. Fred got his law degree at Duke and apparently contracted a mild but prolonged case of Dixie fever; he and his family live in Springfield, Va.
Lawyer Bill Andre has been elected assistant secretary of the Freeport Sulphur Company in New York City. He joined Freeport in 1967 after serving with the New York law firms of Hays, Busby, and Rivkin, 1960-61, and Shearman and Sterling, 1962-66. He obtained his law degree from the Harvard Law School in 1960, and attended the University of Paris for a year after getting out of the Navy in 1957. Bill and his wife Peggy and son Christopher live in Weston, Conn, on Good Hill
Surgeon Hubert Bush must be more than just ordinarily well-occupied for he maintains two offices, one in Hartford and the other in South Windsor, Conn., as well as being on the staff of three Hartford area hospitals. After Cornell med school, Hubert served in the Army medical corps and then as surgical resident at the University of Vermont medical center.
Dan Boyd, a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps, is now stationed in the nation's capital, after some pretty fancy moving around as his letter attests: "After returning from Vietnam last year, I spent a year before coming down here at the Naval War College in Newport, R.I. While there I must have still been suffering the effects of the Southeast Asian sun as I spent a year educating what has come to be called the 'military mind' during the day and doing graduate study at night and on the weekends. In any event, after a rather cloistered year I graduated from the War College and also received my Master's degree in International Affairs. The past several months of a more 'normal' routine have been rather pleasant becoming reacquainted with the family (one wife, two daughters)."
Post Script: Many of us, including this scribe, were annoyed with certain of the more celebrated passages of Newton's valedictory last June, and several classmates have expressed acute disappointment over what they regard as puerile and selfish remarks, inappropriate, unfair and clearly embarrassing to the College. The blizzard of letters to the editor over the past months have expressed, in my view, all that can profitably be said about the matter. So I'm ready to bury the hatchet and I hope you are - a good peace pipe is R.H. Kimball's '29 wise but lighthearted letter "big stinkum in Wigwam" letter in the November issue.
Secretary, Blyth & Co., Inc. 14 Wall St. New York, N.Y. 10005
