1933
The Boston Alumni meeting was a tremendous success—thanks to the large number of '33ers who attended together with their wives. A very special feature for us was the happy-hour organized by SidStoneman, Bob and Babe Fox, and WesBeattie prior to the dinner in our own suite. This very nice gathering included Hal and Polly Hackett, Mel and Mary Hershenson, Art and Mary Connelly, Vern and Janet McKane, Harry Hardy, Norm and Marg Erlandson, John and Kathleen Thompson, Harv and Harriet Bloomberg, Bob Mitchell, Max Field, George and Ellie Rideout, Vin Merrill, John and Charlene Scanlon, Arch Lade, Jeff and Bea Davis, and Mel Katz all the way from Hewlett, N. Y. We won the attendance cup for the second successive year.
Bob Fox gave me some of the news items he had recently received: On February 23, Rus and Helen Ackerman's daughter, Linda, and her husband presented them with their first grandchild, Russell Henry Eykelhoff of Cold Brook, N. Y. Dr. Kimball Flaccus of Swarthmore, Pa., has been asked to judge the traditional poetry division of the Wake Forest, N. C., creative writing contest in May. In March he judged the Swarthmore Women's Republican Club poetry contest. In the future we should call him "Judge."
Ted Monahan wrote from Yardley, pa. "It was quite a coincidence in the latest 1933 Class Notes to read in adjoining paragraphs about two of my roommatestwo years with Sam Black at Dartmouth and two years with Arch Lade at Harvard Business School. Marion and I became grandparents of a boy—Keith Theodore Schermerhorn—last August. Mike, the father, is a Product Manager with Johns Manville. They live only a mile from us so naturally we are doing our share of baby sitting. Our vacations are spent at Montserrat in the British West Indies—one of the few unspoiled islands left."
Joe Levensaler who is a neighbor in nearby Laconia, is in the real estate with his wife Polly operating the Kingswood Agency. He continues to do some public accounting for old clients. He doesn't think snow anymore just spring so he can play golf and go boating.
Back in December this column carried the scoop that Babe Fox would soon have an article on Decoupage in Yankee Magazine. It has been published in the April issue.
Mel Worthen of Marion, Mass., got early retirement last fall from Gulf Oil and is presently working for Tibbetts Engineering Corp., New Bedford on public rela- tions. His wife Marion has also retired as a school teacher. Their son Steve is at Syracuse University, and son Bill is recently out of the Army and is now chef at Locke Obers.
Bill and Marcella Teahan enjoyed a great vacation in March. They loafed in Madeira for a week, spent a few days in London and then hired a car in the West Country to pilgrimage to the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth and then on to picturesque Cornwall and beautiful Plymouth.
Hal Mackey wrote from Bronxville: "Now that spring is here I feel that you are entitled to some news. So here goes—This April my wife Jinnye and I expect our 19th (nineteenth) grandchild. Could this be a class record? Also this April has other rewards for us. We leave April 5 for Rome—thence to Athens—to London—to Edinburgh—back to London, then home. Incidentally, my old roommate Jack Smart has invited us to visit him at his villa in the south of France. We both are looking forward to the Penn Game and our class dinner at the Norwich Inn." Can anyone beat Hal for the number of grandchildren.
From Los Angeles Clarence Albaugh writes: "I keep busy with heavy load of \practice in ophthalmology, as chief of staff of hospital, teaching at USC and as trustee of Hollywood Hospital. No damage from earthquake, but it surely scared everyone, I see Ken Jacques almost daily,—he's doing fine job in orthopedics. I look forward to spending more time on my ranch in southern Utah where fishing and hunting are my loves. Life is more simple there and I get a chance to think and get back down to fundamentals. Sometimes I like my horses better than I do people! I still enjoy being a radio ham—manage to get on the air early mornings. Hope to contact Gay Milius back in Norfolk one of these days. I understand he is a very active ham. Can't get adjusted to the concept of Dartmouth going co-ed. Guess I'll have to write the college off when that occurs. Where's the granite??"
The latest news from George and Polly Farrand: "We have our first grandson, Andrew Webster Hager, a direct descendent of Daniel. We attended his baptism in Andover. Mass., on March 14. Our son, Richard '68, called last night from Saigon to say he would be back one month earlier on May 1. He is a Ist Lt. in the infantry via OCS Fort Benning, Fort Carson. Expects to so to Tuck School next fall."
