1933
If you were not at the informal reunion in Hanover on October 11, you missed a great time. The weather and foliage were beautiful, the football game was superb - Dartmouth beat Penn 41 to zip - and the congeniality and delicious dinner at the Norwich Inn arranged by George Drowne were elegant. The following were seen in the stands during the game - some with wives - Sam Gass, Bob Ley, Byron McCoy, Hal Mackey, Gobin Stair, Bill Starr, Mannie Sprague and Bill Teahan. The following gathered with George at the Inn: Ev and Alice Shineman, Sid and Miriam Stoneman, Whit and Ginney Kimball, Bob and Babe Fox, Howie and Dottie Nichols, Jud and Ginney Pierson, Ed and Peg Knapp, John and Charline Scanlon, Archie and Lillian Lade, Jack and Adelaide Hunley, Bud and Katharine King, guests Ben and Connie Marshall '32, Jack and Dottie Manchester, Jeff and Bea Davis and Chan Sprague who won the prize for coming the greatest distance - all the way from San Francisco.
With the exception of a few fine additions - who are heartily welcomed - this is the same group who have been getting together for the past several years. We'd like to have more join us for 1970 for the Princeton game in Hanover on October 11. Reserve the date now and those who are some dis- tance away start planning the "business" trip to see the foliage, friends and the game. George has already reserved the Norwich Inn for dinner - the rest is up to you. You gals better get busy laying the groundwork. Thanks again, George, for a wonderful time!!
Bea and I missed out on both the Harvard and Yale games because we were vacationing. We took the Canadian Pacific "Canadian" from Montreal to Calgary, picked up a car there and drove through the National Parks to Banff, Lake Louise, Kootenay, Jasper, and then on to Vancouver and Victoria and Seattle. Flew on from there via Chicago to visit our third daughter, Shirley, and her husband, Bob Zinn, and our seventh grandchild, Gretchen. It was a beautiful trip with gorgeous scenery, no tourists, nice natives - including the wildlife - and just enough snow.
We went to the Tuesday noon Quarterback Luncheon in Lebanon on November 4 to see the Yale game movies and to hear Bob Blackman explain the plays. He was very proud of his team!! Dartmouth had won all four games - freshman, J.V. and varsity football and varsity soccer. The Piersons, John Meek, and Bill Dewey were at the luncheon. Bill had gone to New Haven to see the game and bumped into EdFoley in the parking lot. Jud had been in Mary Hitchcock for some minor surgery on his left hand and had the pleasure of having George Theriault as his roommate - George was in for a checkup.
Jim Duby of Jamaica Plain, Mass., writes: "Sorry to be so uncommunicative for so long, it's always good to hear from you. I left New England Tel. and Tel. in 1964, and have been working for the U. S. Social Security Administration. Recently I started my own telephone answering service and am doing very well. Also, became new director for General Business Services, and have a few other activities, So I keep busy. I have been an active member of the local Lions Club, and deputy district governor of Lions International. See practically no classmates, but hear from Wes Beattie occasionally."
Jim Petrie who lives in London was recently named president of Kellogg Technical Services Company and has been assigned commercial responsibilities for the Far East. The company is a subsidiary of M. W. Kellogg Company, a division of Pullman Incorporated. In addition to being vice president of M. W. Kellogg Company, he is also president of Kellogg Iran Inc., Tehran. Jim joined M. W. Kellogg Company in 1936 as an engineer and advanced through many administrative positions. He moved to London in 1960.
Lup White brings us up-to-date: "Not having been the author of the release in the October ALUMNI MAGAZINE class notes reporting on my retirement, I hasten to confirm that such is the case and I have never been happier. The main decision seems to be where to settle - stick to life here in suburbia (Chatham, N. J.) which is questionable when you do not have to commute to the big city - go south which has much appeal as winter approaches or go north which is the place to be when summer takes over. I have one son who has another IVi years of high school and since he would like to complete his secondary school education here, the problem can be tossed around for that period. My oldest son is teaching in New York City while working for his advanced degrees in history and hopefully will teach at the college level. Our third son Dick is a sophomore at Dartmouth and I am happy to say compiling a far better record than his old man. He chose Dartmouth when he was a little boy and really loves the place so I guess some of these things rub off through heredity, environment, etc."
Bill McKee who lives in Greenwich, Conn., used to do business with my old company, the Rogers & Hubbard Co., when he was working for Cleary from 1947-50 and also while with the Tennessee Corp. from 1955-61. "Lately I've been working at Columbia University on a research project to develop an odorless equivalent for the Kraft (brown bags to you) process - looks very good right now. Two children, postwar, boy 23, girl 22, neither married."
Ambassador Pete Hart has retired from the Department of State after a thirty-year career in the diplomatic service. On September 20 he was elected president of The Middle East Institute in Washington. This is a non-profit educational organization, dedicated to furthering American understanding of Middle Eastern history, politics, economics, and culture. He retires after serving as director of the Foreign Service Institute. He is the author of a forthcoming policy book on the Middle East since World War 11. Congratulations, Pete, and thank you for your years of dedicated service!!
