1954
If I forgot to wish all of you a happy Xmas season it's because today is November 21 and I am writing the January notes! My timetable, as you can see, is all turned around and I still have vivid memories of a great weekend in Hanover for the Yale game. About 75 people showed up at the Hanover Inn for a post-game cocktail party and buffet dinner (including wives ana some kiddies), but those of you who aid attend need no further comment. Next time we try to hold a mini-reunion I hope more of you will make it. If Dan McCarthy runs the show, I can promise .you a terrific spree.
From across the seas comes word Edwin Hayes Jr. who holds the post 01 Director of Marketing for Quaker Oats, Ltd., out of South Ascot. Berks, England Ed writes that his three boys have Plct;e up a true British accent and often his peculiar American dialect. Quaker Oats keeps him jumping, though he has so time for touring the British Isles Europe, and even manages to attend so Dartmouth Club functions in London where films of the football season are a big draw. Ed also reports that he hosted former roommates and their wives Durham and Yngvar Hvistendahl, the latter from Norway, the former from the U.S.A.
Ever hear of Otolaryngology.? Well that's what Dr. Lyon M. Greenberg as clinical assistant professor of surgery at Albany Medical College. For the uninitiat ed that means ear, nose and throat spoken medicalese. Lyon also finds time to conduct a private practice, serve as president ident of the Albany area Dartmouth Club, and help his wife bring a 45 acre farm under some degree of cultivation. She has the added chore (though entirely pleasant) of caring for their three sons in between wee6d pulling, raking, and so forth.
Lt. Colonel Robert A. Mc Shane recently wrote Dick Barker of a pleasant change in duty. Bob just completed a tour in Southeast Asia in August and has now been relocated in Spangdahlem, Germany where he hopes to have ample time over the next four years to travel around Europe seeing the sights.
About everyone whom we have heard from recently seems in the throes of some kind of move. John W. Mullen recently left Walnut Creek, Cal., to return to Hawaii—not bad strategy on his part. John is divisional sales manager with the Union Oil Company of Cal. While some guys are moving for business reasons, others, like Victor C. Mahler, shuttle around for pleasure. Vic has just returned from a six month mountain climbing trip to Switzerland, Austria, and Bavaria. You have to know why he did this. He is an architect and is presently working on what will be the tallest building in Toronto: 60 stories of steel and glass that I'm certain will present a kind of Mont Blanc perspective after Vic's memories of Alpine panoramas are reduced to blueprints. Vic didn't explain any correlation between his trip and his work, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn that the former was suggested by the latter, to the ultimate benefit of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce who will tenant the new structure.
By the time this issue reaches you it undoubtedly will be ski season, so all you ski-bums pay attention to the next bit of news. You have a friend in Stowe, Vt. Herbert J. Hillman Jr. operates the Golden Eagle Motor Inn in Stowe and has recently purchased another business which will reopen under the name of the Partridge Inn. Herb also started a venture called The Eagle Realty Corp. for sales and rentals of Stowe properties. He is on the Stowe Planning Commission, director of the county home health service and his eldest daughter Carol is attending Emma Willard with the hope of entering Dartmouth when the barriers finally fall.
Jack Christy was recently elected president of ITT World Directories, Inc., a subsidiary of International Telephone and Telegraph Corp. He continues as chief operating officer, a post he has held since January of last year, while serving as executive vice president of the directories subsidiary. Jack had previously been a vice President and treasurer, and a vice president of two ITT international communications subsidiaries. He, wife Sally, Andrew 11, and Jennifer 3. live in Darien, Conn.
Lastly, a "teeny-reunion" was held by three members of the Class in early November in no other such distinguished quarters as the Board Room of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, D. C. BenBowden was airing the First National bank of Boston's application to acquire the Crompton-Richmond factoring subsidiary, while Sam Chase, as director of statistics for the "Fed," was questioning the concentration of economic power represented by the application. Yours truly was an observer for the American Bankers Association, and after Ben and Sam had finished their discussion I took the trouble to introduce them to each other since in the heat of debate memories become somewhat obscured. Sam has just joined the Fed after teaching economics at the University of Montana. The meeting turned out to be quite interesting and I hope this means we can be reading more about both of these fellows.
All for now.
