1943

Welcome back to fall, school bills, and taxes. As for your secretary, it's welcome back to a sth-of-the-month deadline.

As openers, Paul Young reports that preregistration for the informal fall reunion is exceeding all expectations. The advance list includes some 25 classmates - most with wives and some with offspring. We'll give you a full report on the festivities in next month's column.

With luck, before you read this you will have received the Supplement to our 25th book, consisting of some seven pages of appropriate pictures. If you have not received it before reading this column, stand fast, it will arrive shortly. Your secretary must apologize to some extent for the delay, but the Civil Aeronautics Board conspired to keep the pressure on for months on end, all to the detriment of social and other outside activities. Furthermore, a broader coverage than just multiple pictures of the close friends of but one photographer was necessary in order to justify the substantial expenditure of Class funds which the printing and distribution of a supplement requires. The photographers - God bless 'em - ended up being but four: Jim Adams, DonCrance, Don McCorkindale, and MortPechter. We trust the Supplement will rekindle fond memories of those who attended the reunion and engender a firm purpose of resolution to attend the 30th.

NEWS FROM ALL ABOUT: News clips received during the summer reflect the following: Bob Atkinson of Longmeadow, Mass, was elected clerk and secretary of Forbes & Wallace, Inc. and was also named a director. Bob, a graduate of the Harvard Law School, is a partner in the Springfield law firm of Bulkley, Richardson, Ryan and Burbank. Dr. Bill Schumacher, Director of the Bureau of Mental Health in Augusta, Me., recently headed a panel to discuss contemporary health problems sponsored by the University of Maine. Tony Rud has been named feature editor of "Mart Magazine," a semi-monthly put out by the Buttenheim Publishing Corporation and should at this time be located back in Pittsfield, Mass. Samuel J. Mills of Scotch Plains, N. J., has been named coordinator of Management Information Systems for RoyalMetal Corp. Lewis P. Johnson has been named to head the newly created appraisal division of Isgood Realty, Inc. in Pittsfield, Mass. He is married to the former Hariett Ewing of West Hartford, has three children, and has been very active in civic affairs.

Further south, Dick Livingston, incumbent president of the Seaford, Del., Board of Education is up for re-election; Jim Gilbert is president of C. W. Blakeslee and Sons, Inc., George Munroe has added the title of chief executive officer to his present title of president of the Phelps Dodge Corp., and JohnBehringer of Ft. Lauderdale has been confirmed as a member of the Florida State Board of Regents.

Out in Cleveland, Bill Jones is president of Cleveland Machine Controls, Inc. and is reported as newly appointed president of the Harvard Business School of Cleveland. Bill, are those Harvards spreading out or is that the business school association?

Further west in Park Forest, 1ll., ConnorB. (Shorty) Shaw, manager of Marshall Field and Company's Park Forest store, has been named a vice president of the firm. Since we had no information available at the time of publication of the year book, you will be interested to know that Shorty is married, has four children and is a resident of Green Garden Township. He was an instructor of business management for one year in the Indiana University School of Business and taught evening courses in business management at Indiana University extension centers in Indianapolis and East Chicago for six years. Before moving to the Park Forest area, he lived in Lake Bluff, where he was village clerk and village trustee. He has been manager of Marshall Field's Park Forest store since it opened in March 1955.

'43 SONS AT DARTMOUTH. Bus Mosbacher advises he is about to drive son Trip up to Hanover to enter the class of '73. (How about the rest of you '43 fathers letting your secretary or Herb Marx know the new college affiliations of your offspring?) Bus's journey will be doubly enjoyable for him since it will represent a temporary respite from a schedule so hectic you have to see it to believe it.

VITAL STATISTICS. Bob Kerwin writes from Istanbul, Turkey, to confirm that last June he married Mary Norton Masland. That should make Bob the "most Dartmouth" of the class, since Mary is the widow of John Masland, former Provost of the college, and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Max Norton ('19) - you remember him, he's the guy our parents sent the money to when we were in college. Bob and Mary plan to maintain homes in and divide their time between both Hanover and Istanbul, which should set some sort of a record. And even earlier this year (January, to be more exact), Bob Brown was married in Nashville to Jane Elleanore Tyne Brownlow, formerly of St. Louis and Vassar. No wonder I couldn't find him at the Chicago Club last spring! We certainly wish both Bobs and their wives all the best.

On a sad note, we only recently learned that Robert Eugene Field passed away last October in Miami, Fla. More detailed information appears in this or a subsequent issue. Also, we just received word that RoyCutting passed away on September 6, 1969.

The deepest sympathy of the Class goes to the families of these two classmates and also to Bill Whitmarsh, whose young son recently passed away and to Dick Sweet and Bob Pinto who recently lost their mothers.
