1933
The football season is underway and I hope many will take this opportunity to have reunions. We enjoyed one with Judand Ginney Pierson for the University of Massachusetts game but we were disappointed not to see any other classmates.
Conny Corcoran writes from Lowell, Mass.: "I am still with Mr. Hearst's Record American in Boston. My wife, Ramona, and I are healthy and happy! Our youngest daughter, Katy, is married to a newspaperman on the North Shore and the older of the two, Ramona Ann, is married to a doctor, and we have a grandson, one and a half years old. The doctor is now in the Army and they are in Germany, which was a wonderful excuse last May for us to visit them. We stopped off for a week in Ireland and then toured with them for three weeks in Germany, France, and Switzerland. Glorious! Don't get to Hanover very often, but sure enjoy your class notes!"
Bill Forbes has been with Braniff International Airlines for 23 years and currently is director of passenger and cargo marketing, living at White Bear Lake, Minn. He writes: "I have always lived in this area. Was married in '34. Had three daughters. Wife died in '49. Married war widow in '50 who had one son. Now we have fifteen grandchildren (not bad for only twenty years of being married!) See Faegre and Wakefield all the time."
An anonymous contributor sent along a clipping from the "American Metal Market" of August 27 regarding Bill Lang. On January 31, 1968 he elected to take early retirement from the United States Steel Corp. where he was administrative vice president and treasurer. Bill subsequently became vice chairman of the board and chairman of the executive committee of the First National State Bank of New Jersey. He resigned these positions on July 1, 1969 returning to U. S. Steel the following December to become assistant to the chairman—financial committee.
From Lewisburg, W. Va., Frank Hardy advises he still is semi retired but doing slight farming and fishing. He invites all granddaughters to Greenbrier College of which he is an active trustee. He has quit music to "listen."
Bill Atwood is still with the Franklin County Welfare Department in Columbus, Ohio, but has a new position working with a capable young lawyer in the legal department. He bemoans the fact that alumni luncheons are not held regularly. He hasn't seen any '33ers for several years since seeing Howie Porter in Atlanta.
Ro Burbank has decided to give up school administrative work and go back to teaching. He has a position at the Kingswood Regional High School in Wolfeboro, N. H., teaching physics and general science. "We bought a house here—first real estate we have ever owned because we have always lived in school housing. We are thrilled to have a place of our own—and one that almost exactly fits our dream of a retirement home. It's on Lake Wentworth. We are in good hands. Wes Beattie has a place just down the road and we have already exchanged a number of visits. DickGoldthwaite is across the lake summers when not off on a geological expedition. Connie saw them in the local supermarket."
The University of South Carolina has selected Dave Hatch to head the department of anthropology and sociology. His activities at USC include serving as field representative for a survey of graduate study by the National Opinion Research Center; as research consultant for the S.C. State Hospital; and as chairman of the Committee on Research and Statistics, Richland County Economic Opportunity Commission. His current research includes effects of the Upward Bound Program at USC.
George Hamilton wrote a wonderful letter from Chula Vista, Calif., but unfortunately space will not permit printing all of it. He established a first for your scribe by enclosing a check for the 1971 Alumni Fund—just a starter. "I work for the Fund for one special reason, to honor my pals, Dr, and Mrs. Winston Judd Rowe of Spokane, Wash." (He attended their wedding 33 years ago in Wellesley.) Win had an unfortunate heart attack a while back but he is active in general practice of medicine and surgery—-also active on the golf course. George himself is an independent insurance broker concentrating on marine insurance for the San Diego tuna fleet. He and Marion will be in Hanover in June to see their son, Woody, graduate. George would like to have our 40th Reunion moved up a couple of years so he can see everyone.
We have one '33 son in the class of 1974—Thomas S. Lord, son of Ned andAnne Lord. Tom is carrying on a fine family tradition following in the footsteps of his great uncle, George Dana Lord '84 and his grandfather, Edward Thomas Summer Lord '91.
John Dunn '35 (r) who retired after 30years of federal service, is presented theSecretary of Defense Meritorious ServiceMedal by Assistant Secretary Shillito.
