1944

The tally is: 17 Class of '44 offspring accepted into Dartmouth, 16 freshman and one senior transfer. Fifteen of the 17 decided to come and of those 15, eight were males and seven were females. Does that tell us anything? Probably not, except that Dartmouth men father daughters as well as sons and there must be seven pretty happy fathers of daughters to go along with the eight happy fathers of sons. Names appear elsewhere in this issue, but in recognition of this "first" let us single out the distaff members:

Bob Conroy's Kimberly; Dan Donovan's Mary Ellen; Frank MarteH's Kathleen; Tom Miner's Julia; Earl Owen's Mary; Bob Vosler's Constance; and JohnWeek's Katherine.

Speaking of going to school, HarrySalmanowitz attended Harvard Business School's Smaller Company Management Program for three weeks this past summer: six days a week of 4-5 hours in class, 3-4 hours studying and meeting in seminar groups. Harry is president of Superintendence Co., Inc.

Honored by a school was John Mulliken, Time Magazine's Pentagon correspondent and senior editor: Culver Military Academy named him its 1972 Man of the Year last April. A 1940 graduate of Culver, John was cited as an alumnus who "... through personal achievement has brought honor to himself and to Culver." Not surprising for a fellow who at Dartmouth won the Grimes Prize for best short stories and the Perkins Literary Prize as the most outstanding English senior, and who has been covering the globe at the typewriter for Time and Life for 22 years.

Promoted by Eastman Kodak Company is Tony Frothingham, from director, marketing administrative service, to assistant general manager of the motion picture and education markets division. Tony joined Kodak in 1948 and has been there ever since, a career that has spanned most of the Kodak divisions both in the U. S. and abroad. He spent a number of years in France, but, not surprisingly, now calls Rochester, N. Y., home.

One of those on the move from Washington, D. C. to Glenview, Ill., has been John Furfey. He writes: "For the past three years I have been travelling back and forth across the country and the Atlantic on a variety of special assignments for the Defense Department ... I saw a chance for a change and am now with the Department of Army working out of Fort Sheridan and Fifth Army. Wife teaching high school, eldest daughter at Kenyon College, two kids in high school and one in junior high ... In the past months I have visited Eben Blackett in Marietta, Ohio (production manager, American Cyanamid Co.). Eben, Brad King and I grew up together and all three of us went to Dartmouth and lived within four houses of each other in Newton, Mass."

Also packing and unpacking furniture this summer was Paul Jones, moving from Cohasset, Mass., down east to Falmouth, Me. "I've been commuting between Massachusetts and Maine for years now," he says. "We have three factories (shoes) to engineer in Maine and only one in Massachusetts, so when a delicious piece of real estate came on the market in Falmouth, we took the plunge. Looks like a good deal for the wife and . kids, all of whom like boats, trees and nearby skiing and don't miss the city a bit."

I like the New England spirit of GeorgeCummingrs, who after 22 years in the hotel business in tropical Puerto Rico has returned to the seasonal North as manager of the Mt. Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, N. H., in the heart of the White Mountains. Three hundred beds, he says, in a beautiful old building on a lovely tract of land ... and renovations under way." Highlight of this past summer was the Rod Laver-Roy Emerson Tennis Week package in August, an event that almost put Wimbleton out of business.

Apparently Bob Rader is striking off on his own. At hand is an announcement to the effect that as of May 1, 1972 he became president of Robert W. Rader, Inc., a corporation formed to serve equipment lessees, lessors and lenders. Bob has been a v.p. with Systems Capital Corp. since 1967.

Perkins-Goodwin paper in Illinois has elected Homer "Boge" Bogart vice president, midwestern paper sales, putting him in charge of the midwest office at Northfield, Ill. His new assignments kept him away from the Princeton game in Hanover. Princeton weekend was also national convention time for Yellow Pages and thus kept John Berry, Bill Craig, and Bud Welch from their seats "on the fifty."

Allen Barrett (insurance in Baltimore) reports seeing a gaggle of '44s at Skidmore's "Happy Pappy" last spring—BirdPartridge, Needle Allen and Pinky Carroon, among others.

It was a treat seeing Fran and BobRiebow in September as they brought their freshman son, Rob, to Hanover ... first sight of them in almost 30 years. Rob was off on the freshman trip and Fran and Rieb were off to the golf course, his slightly aching back willing.

We were most sorry to hear of the death by cancer of Rick Lewis' wife, Helena. Rick moved last March from Hartsdale, N. Y., to Richmond, Va., where the Oxford Paper Co. had re-established its headquarters. His son Vern is a forestry major at the University of Maine and his daughter Charlotte graduated from Hackley School in Tarrytown. Sympathy, too, to ArtSummerfield, whose father died last April. He was a former postmaster general.
