1935

Several classmates report on recent moves this month. Bobb Chaney, our esteemed president, is no longer commuting from New York. He and Shelley found a new home in the Toronto suburb of Oakville, and moved in Washington's birthday.

Don Waggaman has shifted allegiance from New York to the Boston area, settling in Winchester after the merger of Commercial Union Insurance company with Employers Mutual. Don comments: "The years do pass, and my kids are moving out. Daughter Jane scheduled to be married in May. Daughter Mary Lou a junior at the University of Connecticut. Son, Don, finishing senior year in High School."

A change of address notice from the college indicates that Jim Higgins is back in Garden City, Long Island, where he had his medical practice for so many years before taking the job as Medical Director of the Oxford Paper Company in Rumford, Me. How about a card, bringing us up to date, Jim?

Rey Moulton, who is building a new home, has this report on his clan, "Son, Rey Jr. '6O, was married in June, and took off for a European honeymoon. He is Group Manager for Hartford Life in Boston. Son, David, volunteered for a second hitch with the U.S. Marines in Vietnam. Daughter Jessie Ann is happily married, has one son, and teaches Spanish in the Newton (Mass.) School System. Daughter Betsey is on the West Coast - a social worker. Laura and I will make the Fall Reunion come H -—- or high water!"

Some of our busiest classmates seem to volunteer for the heaviest loads. WoodyCurtis, who runs John Deere & Company, not only is heading the Third Century Fund drive in the Quad Cities, but also is cochairman of a drive to raise money for Augustana College. Neil Roberts, another Third Century Fund area chairman, is president of Denver's Mile High United Way. As an aside, Neil also was made vice chairman and chief executive officer of the Denver U. S. National Bank in December and took on additional duties as vice president of U. S. Bancorporation. What do you guys do in your spare time?

More recognition for Eddie Dyer! He is now chief of pediatric services at The Bunker Hill Health Center of Massachusetts General. Eddie is one of the leading authorities on health problems of children, and over the years has held offices in local, state, regional and national medical organizations. He also serves on the staff of half a dozen hospitals in the Boston area.

Frank Hermes, supervisor of D'Arcy Advertising, is quoted in a recent issue of "Media Decisions" as follows: "They're grinding out more material for salesmen, so there's much more to offer. They should be better, but they're not. Too many riding the wave of prosperity and they get lax as a result." A common complaint, Frank!

Sad news from Jon Harvey. "I lost my wife, Adele, in November a year ago. Am trying to keep the ship on an even keel for the boys. Oldest son, Jon Jr., got married in October to everyone's amazement. Now doing postgraduate work at Penn State after a three-year Navy hitch. Second son, Steve, is a Ist lieutenant in the Army. Ten months to go!"

Bill Eisendrath lays claim to the youngest sprouts in the class. (A claim several can contest, I might add.) In any event, Bill's boys, Tom and Phil, are six and four respectively. spectively. Bill is ranching at Elizabeth, Colo., and writes:

unwise lifting and just emerged frnm a hernia operation I could have done JrtTout Sold an Aberdeen Angus breeding hedta November that I had been develop a for 18 years. Kept the female calves and to restore the ranch within the next three months" Offhand, Bill, you should have some pretty clear Judications by now.

"Uncle"' Reg Bankart is no longer just uncle He's a proud grandfather. Daughter Rfiver'ley (Mrs. Robert Sbrilli) presented him Jth a granddaughter, Laurie, in December. Dad is fAir FSrce dental officer at Wight Field inJ3ayton.

Stan Britten, a Leap Year kid, acknowledged a birthday greeting with: "Thanks for the birthday wishes — fortunately, I dont have one this year." Our number one world traveler, Bill Hands dropped in the other Hav and revealed that son, Jeff, and family have moved to Melbourne, Australia For anyone else, this might pose certain hardships But last year, Bill circled the globe twice, so Australia seems as close as the nearest jet.

From''Buck's Weil comes this greeting: "Tean and I just returned from a cruise with mv sister and her husband, Pat Uhlmann '37. Our family is the same, except older. Ian a junior in high school, and Andy a sixth grader. See Charlie Evans, who is with Dresser Industries in Anniston, occasionally."

Don Alexander has some strong feelings about the college's recent decision on ROTC. In a note that reported he is still personnel supervisor for First National Stores in the Somerville (Mass.) area, Don writes: "I think it is disgraceful the way the faculty bows to the SDS. Last year, I defended Dartmouth's decision to move the ROTC presentation to Chase Field before the New Hampshire ROA convention — and won. But I can no longer defend Dartmouth faculty decisions. Do others feel as I do?"

Maybe this challenge will persuade some of you reluctant correspondents to write. Let's hear from you!
