1951

This column is dedicated to the memory of a '51 son, the first member of the '51 family to lose his life in war. On November 27, Lieut. Dwight Cutler Sarjeant, oldest son of classmate Alex Sarjeant and his wife Joan of Perrysburg, Ohio, was killed m Vietnam. Dwight would have been 22 this month; he arrived in Hanover together with the rest of us in September 1947, albeit he was then only seven months old. Father Alex had spent six years in the Navy in World War II.

Pierce McKee left retailing in September for the securities business, joining Walston & Co He is currently in New York for ten weeks of training and indoctrination, followine which he will work out of Walston's Oakland, Calif., office as a registered representative. Pierce, wife Rosie, and three sons live in Orinda, just east of the Berkeley Hills.

Don Palmer became a senior vice president of Chase Manhattan Bank's Metropolitan Department on January 1. That department coordinates the bank's business at the head office and 147 branches in New York City, and Nassau and Westchester counties. Don is now executive in charge of a new branch group including the New York District and eight branches in lower Manhattan.

After graduation, Don served in the Army before joining Chase National's Credit Department in 1953. He was transferred to the Metropolitan Department in 1955, became an assistant treasurer in 1958, a second vice president in 1961, and a vice president in 1964. On the side, Don picked up an M B.A. from N.Y.U. in 1959. Don, wife Millicent, and three children reside in Millington, N. J.

Xerox has named Tom Trolle as assistant controller. The holder of a Tuck School Tom spent several years with General Motors in Sweden before joining Xerox a year ago as manager of corporate accounting He, wife Lori. and four children live in Pittsford, N. Y. After four years in the Mid-West as Chicago news bureau chief, Loye Miller is once again covering the Washington, D. C., scene for "Time."

Among other things, Minneapolis Judge Jim Rogers raises and sells Christmas trees - in large quantities. In August, he was elected President of the National Christmas Tree Growers' Association. In his spare time, Jim seems to have about monopolized Dartmouth enrolment and interviewing work in the upper Mid-Westhe is Area Enrolment Director supervising Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Montana, District Enrolment Director for Minnesota, and also enrolment liaison man with the Northwest Alumni Association (Minneapolis-St. Paul).

The "Jedge's" enrolment activities led me to go through the Nov. 1968 booklet of Dartmouth Alumni Officers to see who else in the Class was doing what in alumni affairs for which they had not recently been mentioned in this column.

Milt Olander doubles in brass as District Enrolment Director for Southern California and as enrolment liaison officer with the local Dartmouth Club in Los Angeles. Two other District Enrolment Directors are Chick Geilich in Bristol, Mass., and Chattanooga (as opposed to Concord, Mass.), Jim Robinson for Eastern Tennessee. BobSirkin is the enrolment liaison man for the Central Connecticut Club (New Britain).

We have three alumni club presidents: Fred Lord, Berkshire County, Mass. (Pittsfield); Bob Closser, "Heart of America" (Kansas City); and Bill Michener, New Mexico (Albuquerque). There are also three club Secretaries; Hank Sanders, Fairfield County, Conn.; Dick Dutton, Northwestern Connecticut (Waterbury); and Al Karcher, Rochester, N. Y.

Tom Barnett has left the Chicago area to become resident manager of Cook Paint and Varnish Company's new West Coast Milpitas Division near San Jose, Calif. The plant is already producing sanitary linings and varnishes for can manufacturers and synthetic resins for paint and similar industries. It will also manufacture poly urethane foam for flotation and insulation purposes, polyester gel coats for reinforced plastics, and selected pigmented coatings for industry.

After Dartmouth and three years as an Army officer, Tom was in sales of industrial electrostatic painting systems before joining Cook's in 1957 as an industrial sales representative in the Chicago area. In 1965 he was promoted to regional manager of industrial sales in the same area. Tom, his wife, two daughters and a son have lived in Evanston, Ill.

At this point, the news barrel is empty. The shortness of this column will therefore, I hope, serve to remind you that you need not wait for a news solicitation mailing to bring us up-to-date on what is happening to you.
