1931

Johnny Cogswell, resting from his labors in behalf of all of us for the Fund, sends the following news: "We had another great summer in Hanover. I was involved again with management development programs and spent the summer commuting between Carleton College at Northfield, Minn., and Hanover. Lucy continues to get straight "A's" in her summer studies for the second year, which has proved to be embarrassing to her husband and her two sons. We saw Shep and Harriet Wolff and Parker andHelen Soule often this summer and had some great times together. Shep and Harriet are building a new home in Etna and hope to have it completed some time this fall. It's a perfectly beautiful home with a magnificent view across the valleys to Mt. Ascutney. Shep is very busy both with his new home and his wood carving—has trouble keeping up with the demand for his products. Billand Ruth Wendell stopped to visit us on their way to Maine. We had some great fun with Hank and Rose McCarthy, Irv andGert Bettman and Pan Kent, all of whom were in Hanover for Alumni College. Ralphand Betty Hunter joined us, so we really had a wonderful '31 reunion."

Johnny also forwarded a newsy communication from Jack Ewing, which I quote in part: "My son and I started a real estate development business in South Carolina ten years ago. It has mushroomed and we are now the biggest in the state, so I must devote full time to it, much as I hate to leave Arizona after 16 years. We built office buildings, houses, apartments, shopping and medical centers for our account. We are having the formal opening of our newest apartment house this weekend—400 units sitting on 55 acres of trees. In the middle a clubhouse on eight acres of lovely gardens, Olympic pool and two-acre pond, with 5000 fish. Five lakes within one mile and the best country club next door. My wife and I are looking forward to apartment living here after 39 years of the five kids and a big house. We still have two in college—19 years old and 21 years old. This must be near a record as our oldest daughter is 39 in October, for we were married when I was at Dartmouth. P. S. there is just a chance that we might make the 40th."

Effective in December of this year, ArtBoardman will become president of the Irving Trust Company of New York. Art joined the $5.7 billion bank when he finished Tuck School in 1932 and his climb up the executive ladder has been steady. He was named vice president in 1949, became head of the bank's international division and a senior vice president in 1955, executive vice president and member of the board in 1961, and senior executive vice president in 1969. Art served on his area's executive committee for Dartmouth Third Century Fund. He and wife Jean reside in Short Hills, N. J.

As you all know, Orrie Hobbs is now a member of the Alumni Council. In a letter which I was permitted to see, Orrie says: "My son Don graduated in the Class of 1970. Dad graduated in 1904. My brother Ranald was in the Class of 1930. My nephew Stephen was in the Class of 1969 and my son-in-law was in the Class of 1961." Orrie, of course, is president of the Morton Oil Company, a director of the New England Fuel Institute, and a director of the Maiden Trust Company, Maiden, Mass. True Green, Orrie—not True Blue as the saying goes. We're proud of you.

I have a rumor that Bob Baumrucker is married and has hung up his skiis. Will someone please corroborate?

Don't forget the 40th in June. And write before the postal rates go up again.

"Down by the river bank" was the theme for this group in Hanover last spring forthe 50th anniversary of Ledyard Canoe Club. From left: Al Gerould '32, Pete Knight'32, Ben Drew '32, Dave Kirby '32, and Harry Espenscheid '34.
