1960
These are the months when news is hard to come by, so I'll start by asking everyone to take a few moments to fill me in on anything you would like printed in this column. I have noticed many address changes which should mean a new job, assignment or what have you. Make it a short note or a long letter, but do it soon.
These are also the months that are the hardest to live through. After our lovely San Juan vacation, it was a bit of a shock to return to the cold snowy weather. However, by the time you read this, spring will have sprung and winter hopefully will be just a memory.
I had lunch recently with Paul Cantor and Dick Pomboy, who were kind enough to bring me up-to-date on their new company. Paul and Dick are general partners in Winkler, Cantor Pomboy & Co., members of the New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange. The interesting thing is that they bought into the old Bernard, Winkler Co. on January 1 of this year which meant that they were buying in when many others on Wall St. were getting out, either voluntarily or otherwise. Thus, despite unfavorable business conditions, the new firm opened for business. Their main business is underwriting new issues (corporate finance) and managed accounts, which is easy to understand when you look at their backgrounds. After receiving his MBA at Harvard, Dick went to work for Goldman. Sachs as an underwriter, and then became a VP at D.H. Blair Co. Paul, on the other hand, received his degree from Columbia Law School and spent several years managing hedge funds while he continued practicing corporate law. Actually, their business relationship goes back several years since the two served as financial consultants to many private companies who were trying to raise funds for mergers, acquisitions or other forms of business expansion. Dick and his Norwegian wife. Sissel, have two children at home in Bronxville. Paul and Helaine live in a Manhattan co-op with their young son and a daughter who will be a month old in four months. That's what I like—confidence!
The stork visited Marty and CookieBudd for the third time when he brought them Harlan Mathew on December 2. You might say they added another Budd to the family tree.
From Ashtabula, Ohio comes news of the election of Dwight Beebe as vice president of Carlisle-Allen Co., a department store group serving Ohio and Pennsylvania. Director of data processing for the group since 1967. Dwight will continue to plan and direct data processing and information services. His past business associations were with IBM, Ernst & Ernst, and Adams & Moore, public accountants. He is a trustee and treasurer of the Civic Development Corp. of Ashtabula. Dwight was married last June to the former Janis Mae Fuller of Geneva, Ohio, who is a teacher.
As promised, or perhaps threatened is a better word, here is more on men in the service. And in alphabetical order:
Lcdr. Bill Danforth has one more year to go with Fleet Weather Central in Pearl Harbor before returning to Squadron duty in the East Coast. Bill and Joanne extend a welcome to any and all visitors in Hawaii. Aloha, you lucky people. Another island resident is Major Bernard Doe who is currently stationed at Fort Shatter. Bernie. his Okinawan wife, Tokiko, and 3-year old son are enjoying our 50th state.
Lcdr. Bruce Hulbert and wife, Margaret, are in Newport, R.I., where Bruce is assistant academic director at the Naval OCS facility. Bruce recently received the Navy Commendation Medal with the Combat "V" for duty as weapons officer on a destroyer seeing Vietnam duty.
Major Dave Jablonsky recently returned from a second tour in Vietnam. Assigned to the 82nd Airborne division. Dave is expecting orders for another tour in the near future.
Major Jim Leavitt recently left Taiwan for his second tour of duty in Vietnam. He is with the Saigon Support Command at Long Binh. Jim's wife and four children are remaining in Taipei, Taiwan, while Jim is away. Incidentally, most of the young Leavitts were born in either Germany or Taiwan and have never really seen this country.
The word from Mike Carroll is that he has resigned his commission from the Air Force and is now a marketing analyst tor Texas Aerospace Services in Abilene. Mike also is working on his MBA at Hardin Simmons and Joyce keeps busy as an instructor of English at McMurray College.
As you know, this is the time of year - high school seniors begin to sweat out college acceptances. There are many more qualified applicants than there are openings, and the task of paring the list down to a workable number has to be done by Eddie Chamberlain Jr. '36 and his admissions committee. Fortunately, many Dartmouth men help out by screening candidates, canvassing schools for top achievers and in some cases by actually conducting the interview for the admissions committee. Most of the men who are active in this area find it to be very rewarding work. Our class is not without representation. In Westchester alone, Pete Asensio, Al Glick and Dick Prior have specific high schools assigned to them, and they are consistently coming up with good candidates for admission. They even convinced me to give it a try this year, and I must honestly say that I enjoyed it very much and look forward to next year. This is by no means a plea for further help since I know that many of our classmates are already involved in the recruiting process. It is, however, one way to become more attuned to the thinking of today's youth while helping to make sure that Dartmouth gets her fair share of the top talent. So, take a student to lunch today.
