1936
The weeks are rushing towards June. Only two months to go for the terrific thirty fifth Reunion in Hanover. Hope you have been reading your mail and got some good vibrations to be on hand for the festivities. From Green Bay, Wis., John Stiles writes that he hopes to make it to Hanover. He thinks he is too old to be working, but too young to retire. Since we are about the same age, we agree. John is president of Morley-Murphy Co. in Green Bay. On the other hand Cliff Roe writes that he is feeling younger and working harder than ever as supervisor of employment at Westinghouse in Buffalo. As a personnel executive Cliff is up to his ears in civic duties such as Urban League, Industrial Relations Association and vocational advising at the local schools arid colleges. He iiaS pienty of advising to attend to with his own college group since his daughter Marcia is studying for her doctorate in special education at Columbia; his son, Larry, is a sophomore at Antioch; Cindy is a freshman at Genesco College, and Wendy is working at Michigan State College Hospital at Ypsilanti.
Another Westinghouse employee is GordonLey who is an advisory engineer at Arnold, Md. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, he takes to the waters of Chesepeake Bay sailing his 32-foot auxiliary sloop. Perhaps one of these days he will run into Boyce Price sailing his Tartan 34, "Winsome," for Boyce sails the Chesepeake when he can find the crew. He is executive vice president of American Wood Council in Washington, D. C. The Prices own ten acres of land in Jericho, Vt., overlooking Mt. Mansfield and they are fussing over house plans.
This year will probably mark the 35th anniversary with the same employer for many members of the Class. It will for Walt Kadlec who has been with DuPont these many years. Walt is office manager at their plastic plant in Los Angeles. He can't think about retirement until the children have finished school, but he keeps busy in his spare time wood carving and furniture making. California certainly has its rooters. Bob Bullock says he has no need for a vacation home since he lives in Mill Valley with redwoods, mountains, San Francisco Bay, and the ocean close at hand. Bob is a self employed management consultant in San Francisco, but enjoyed a return visit to New England last August including a drink wilh Cliff and Phyl England at Baker's Island. Mass. Anyone needing specialized medical care near Santa Cruz should witch for the opening of Dr. Rick Douglas' outpatient clinic where he will specialize in inhalation therapy. Doc is the son of DickDouglas formerly of Appleton, Wis., now retired in Green Valley, Ariz., and enjoying a complete new circle of friends. LinBettison fpr his retirement has left Pennsylvania and taken up fairly permanent residence at Gulfstream, Delray Beach, Fla.
Al and Ella Flouton have purchased a condominium in the Florida Keys near Marathon. This is a home from which they can fish to their heart's "content. They still call Newtown, Conn., home when they aren't fishing in Quebec. Just about now Walt and Anne Mertz should be traveling in Spain and Portugal. They hoped to take a spring vacation from Wilmington, Del., where Walt is senior vice gresident of the Wilmington Trust Company. In January Wis Williams left his paper customers to spend the month at his home in the Bahamas with a side tour to Haiti. Wis is salesman for Strathmore Papers Co. covering the northern New York and New England market. When he is driving that New York area, he should keep in mind a friendly figure on the bench of Montgomery County, Judge William J.Crangle. Bill is running for Supreme Court judgeship this year. In his spare time he skiis, gardens, and studies German.
Paul Guibord has been named to the board of directors of Security Mutual of Binghamton, N. Y. where he holds the position of Agency Vice President. He joined the firm three years ago after an outstanding career with Mutual Benefit Life in Newark, N. J. The term "outstanding" seems to follow Paul in whatever he does and hearkens back to his accomplishments in hockey (1936 All American and U. S. Olympic teams) and tennis (New England Intercollegiate champion and No. 1 in N. E. for several years:)
In Lawrence, Kan., Dr. Bill Balfour is vice chancellor of the University of Kansas with specific responsibility for student affairs. He is also professor of physiology. Anyone ih charge "of student affairs on a large campus today must lead an exciting life. Bill mustn't have much time to himself. In Quincy, Ill., Dr. ChuckRichards specializes in urology and he finds it difficult to keep up with his practice. His two sons are in high school with John, a junior, and member of the varsity basketball team.
Boss and Bounce Woodbridge must have spent many a wintry evening looking at colored slides and reliving their 30,000 mile trip of last October. Their daughter, Martha, a Pan Am stewardess planned the trip and treated her parents to a stopover in Fairbanks, nine days in Japan, four in Hong Kong, four in Bangkok, three in Sydney, three in Honolulu and four in Moorea, Tahiti. Ross will supply the details in Hanover in June. Hank and MariaRosa Dearborn spent January and February driving about the Spanish countryside. Hank retired last year after thirty years in the foreign service. His daughter, Pamela, graduated from the Foreign Service School of Georgetown University last year and is about to attend graduate school in Brussels. Their son, Henry is a sophomore at Dartmouth.
Wisconsin has its sailors to compete with the Chesepeake. Charlie Harrison sails his yawl, "Victory," from his vacation home on Sturgeon Bay, Lake Michigan. As president of Harrison Oil in Milwaukee, he now has his two sons in the business. Bob Frank sails on Lake Geneva where his home is located. Bob is active in the Lake Geneva Yacht Club and in the Southeast Wisconsin Regional Planning group. He is vice president of R. & D. at Morton International
If you are in Boston, Mass., and need any alcoholic beverages, stop in at Codman Liquors to see Fred Wyman, owner. Fred's son, Bruce, is attending Tufts University Dental School. Last September Bruce married Joanne Stone of Scarsdale, N. Y.
