1944

I don't see how one can do better than to start off in the chip-off-the-old-block department. William C. Trier '71, son of Bill (U. of Arizona Medical School), has been elected one of the three student representatives on the College Committee on Standing and Conduct, the important faculty, administration and student committee responsible for discipline at the College (Bill was the leading vote-getter); and John C. Shapleigh '71, son of John, becomes one of the committee's alternates.

Mail call has brought word from some recently out of touch: In New Jersey we have Walt Acher, out of Morristown, where he is a sales engineer with an industrial contractor. He's been doing just that since 1965, prior to which time he toiled for 20 years in N.Y.C. with several building material manufacturers. He lists wife Ruth, and five children, ranging from Helen, 20, down through June, 17, Carol, 14 James, 11, and Lisa, 6. Where else but in Millington is Sam Barnes, your friendly Prudential insurance man in that area. We had Sam down in the Reunion Book for wife Mary Lou and just four offspring, but he notes the addition of Caren, age 4. The Barneses are a camping family, but while Sam waits for the kids to put up the tent, he's liable to be off jogging around the camp-site; says he does same for three miles every other morning out of 1512 Valley Road.

Further in N. J., Bob King divides his time between home in Summit and business at 61 Broadway, where he is a senior partner in Charles King & Co., a family firm (stockbrokers). He says he has spent 35 summers now at West Hampton Beach, L. I., even though he moved from Brooklyn to New Jersey in 1954. Son Charles, 21, is at the U. of Virginia, and there is also Bob Jr., 19, Ann, 13, and Carolyn, 11.

What's in a name? Babe Spitz writes to say that he is president of the City Coal Company in New London, Conn., adding that he has been with his family's oil business since 1945. When he's not heating the community to keep it warm, coal or oil, he is active in anti-poverty programs, Boy Scouts and the like.

In Edina, Minn., is John LaBounta, with the Marquette National Bank as sales manager, Bank America Card, in case you are out that way and short on your down-payment on that ride-'em mix-master. John was manager of banking operations for the Pillsbury Co. until 1967 and he lists sports cars as his number one extra curricular activity.

Harry Schoenhut, in Lexington, Va., is vice president and secretary of Durham Hosiery Mills, and he's been in that business ever since he came back from the Navy Supply Corps to Tuck School after the war.

For those of you looking for that retirement isle, contact Johnny Peacock who is in real estate out of Kaneohe, Hawaii. Real estate follows ranching and an air taxi service for Large John, whose 1968 son is now in the Marine air corps, akin to his father who was a highly decorated Navy air corps pilot way back when.

Running his own business, paper box manufacturing, is Sig Kulawik in Sioux City, lowa. Photography, skeet shooting and upland game hunting occupy his leisure hours.

Moving up recently was Phil W. Brown, West Hartford, Conn., who was promoted from executive vice president to chief executive officer of North & Judd, a Gulf & Western Precision Engineering Company. North & Judd manufactures a wide line of hardware for farm, home, and ranch use in addition to hardware products for the clothing, furniture, shoe, canvas, leather and web strap industries. Phil was off and running with the company as a sales trainee in 1948 and obviously hasn't stopped since. He is a member of the Advisory Board of the Home National Bank & Trust Co. and a director of the Middletown Chamber of Commerce among other civic duties.

The school psychologist in the Gloversville, N. Y., school system is Jim Sinon, who has also taught at Ithaca College on the graduate level and undergraduates at Fulton County Community College. Jim earned his master's degree in 1947 from SUNY at Albany and subsequently completed the school psychology program at Syracuse U. in 1957. His number one outside activity has been putting Paul, 23, John, 22, and Denise, 20, through college.

After twelve years in Chicago and seven living in Barrington, Ill., Dave Sanders moved his wife and three girls back to Boston, from whence they had first emigrated west back in 1951. Dave is back in the main office of Vance, Sanders & Co. (investments) and you can be sure at this reading that he has been up in the New England hills testing the trout streams.

Partner/Owner of a building management firm in Des Moines is George Peak. He graduated from Drake U. after the war, and following a brief fling at insurance got right into his present occupation. He lists a raft of community activities, along with heavy duties on the board of the Central National Bank. "Still sailing," he says, "mostly in Colorado, but not racing or winning the Lipton Cup as in those younger days. Our second love is travel...." Besides wife Elizabeth, there is George, 14, and Betsy. 11

Jack Sterling has been vice president and Detroit manager of Newspaper I for the past three years, living in Birmingham, Mich. He is a member of the Detroit Golf Club, the University Club, and the Adcraft Club; and is past president of the Detroit Advertising Club, the American Association of Newspaper Representatives and the Big Brothers of Oakland County and Michigan Federation of Big Brothers. With a long eye to Hanover, he has also been active in such Dartmouth projects as "Dartmouth on the Road" and the Third Century Fund.

Dud Wilson, still single, is a senior accountant with Parsons-Jurden Corp. (engineering) in N. Y. City, to which he commutes from Bronxville. And if Ham Rowan has "gone to the dogs" in Huntington, L. I., it's in the most positive of ways. The American Kennel Club has just promoted him from administrative assistant to secretary. Before coming to the AKC, Ham was a founding officer of The Long Island German Shorthaired Pointer Club.

Gene Kinney keeps heading towards that zenith at Zenith. On April 23 he was named senior vice president in charge of special electronic products, an area the company president terms as "significant in the company's future expansion plans." Gene continues as president of Zenith Hearing Aid Sales Corporation and as a Zenith director. He joined the company in 1946 and has served in a variety of management positions in virtually every area of the company's operations. He was made vice president, special products, in 1966 - from which the last jump up.
