1937

This is the final lap for the Alumni Fund wherein Ole Boz and Chuck have probably dropped 50 pounds apiece chasing all us guys for the fickle fin. We hope any reading this who have procrastinated will immediately take to pen and checkbook to remedy the obvious over-sight. Excoriation Day for laggards is 30 June.

Sam Dillon sent the sad news of the death of Bob Oleson. We had earlier been notified that Les Hoyle had passed away in Phoenix. It is sad to see our ranks slowly being depleted of good guys; we've had a bit more than our share this year. Details appear in the obituary section of this or a later issue.

Sam's letter also brought an excerpt of the Congressional Record's welcome back to health (and work) for Sen. TomMcIntyre along with a copy of Tom's Report Home, a newsletter to his New Hampshire constituents, plugging his Health Care Bill with the added emphasis from his own recent surgery. Included, too, was another of Edgar Jones Baltimore Sun editorials we have forwarded to the Mint Bag. Thanks Sam, keep working.

Judge Dick Cooper was presented The Granite Award by the Board of Trustees of the University of New Hampshire in recognition of his many services as a political and civic leader in his state. It was a plaque which he will proudly hang in a special place of honor. Sey Ochsner was also honored in the form of a Distinguished Service Award by the Southern Medical Association in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the advancement of medical science. He was elected the 51st president of The American College of Radiology and, at a luncheon in his honor, was presented a handsome silver tray with matching silver glasses. Sey tells us Helen had a five-week hospital bout with hepatitis in March but was coming along fine.

We have been holding Sherry and AlBryant's long newsy Xmas letter hoping to slide excerpts herein with too little room. Their life is constant travel in and out of Brazil. On one of Al's business trips through New York his briefcase was stolen from his room. It contained about every important paper he had, from airline tickets to I.D., to traveler's checks, causing no end of trouble trying to replace. Sherry suggests wives shoufd always be along with their large pocket books to help carry as well as be bodyguards.

Another world traveler, Carl Gram, is away so much his secretary answers all his mail. Carl's directory card arrived from her with a letter under the heading of United States Olympic Committee indicating him as a member of its board of directors and team manager for the figure skaters both at Grenoble in 1968 and Sapporo this year. Of Carl and Anne's three daughters the youngest is eligible for Dartmouth but might take MIT in pursuit of sciences, being honor roll at Lake Forest. Carl was in a Dartmouth group picture at Sapporo which we hope sometime to see reproduced here.

Bill Rotch handed us a letter from Dr.Mike Wright giving details of his large family scattered all over the East either working, marrying, or attending schools depending on age, but no Dartmouth.

We thought Fran Fenn had retired to Vermont but the news releases continue to pour in. National Life has put him in an "ultra-select group" in the President's Club as one of only 16 agents country-wide to maintain membership in it since its founding in 1956. The notice said Fran "transferred" to Vermont so now we know.

From a "home office" in a chicken coop in 1963 to a nationwide company that sold $10,000,000 in tableware and decorator accessories to more than a million women at parties in 1971. That is the Cinderella newspaper story of Charley Collis' Princess House Inc. His army of women sales people work like happy beavers for the generous rewards available in the party plan; and it's quite a story. The latest is the news of his purchase of Louie Glass, a manufacturing supplier of hand blown stemware, pitchers, vases etc., although this concern furnishes only a part of Charley's needs. He also operates Sovereign House Inc., a relatively new party-plan division of Princess House.

Bob Maynard, senior vice president of Grove Manufacturing Company, has been elected to the board of the Construction Industry Manufacturers Association (CIMA) and also elected president of the Power Crane & Shovel Association (PSCA).

At the annual Boston dinner at the Marriott Motor Hotel in Newton, '37 turned out in force. The Reynolds, Putnams, Martins, Berensons, Lappins, Bankarts, Mullikens Alby Chester, and of course Boz at the head table.

One final note before we wish you a happy summer. The National Biscuit Company can finally relax—Les Barrett has retired!
