1951

As I write this month's column, I am about to abscond to Hanover for an extended new (Monday holiday) Columbus Day weekend. The foliage should be at its height. I hope things come out better on the gridiron against Holy Cross than they did against New Hampshire last Saturday.

Last December, I ran into Jake Crouthamel on a flight from LaGuardia to Dallas. Jake said that he regarded this fall as a rebuilding year - most of his key players of last fall graduated; not that many of this years seniors and juniors had clocked much varsity game time; and there are many very able sophomores, but as yet untested in the varsity arena.

By the way, the poop on any class gatherings in connection with football games this fall will appear in our renascent Class Newsletter and/or a slip enclosed in your ticket envelope.

To the news on classmates! While I am only absconding from New York for a four-day weekend, Carl Glassberg's departure appears more permanent. A partner in that small, struggling accounting firm of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., Carl has been promoted from the Gotham office to partner in charge of the firm's Cleveland tax department. He, wife Irene, and son Andy, 14, are now residing in Shaker Heights.

By coincidence, John Smith of New York Life has left Cleveland to come to New York. General manager of the company's Shaker Heights general office for the past five years, John has been promoted to superintendent of agencies in the New York City home office. John came to Dartmouth from Wisconsin, where he joined New York Life as an agent in Milwaukee in 1954, moving up to assistant manager of the Milwaukee general office in 1956. He was promoted to regional manager of sales development for the West Central region in 1960 and transferred to the Northwestern region in 1962, where he became a management assistant.

From 1962 to 1967, John was general manager of the Austin, Texas, general office. He received his Chartered Life Underwriter designation in 1960, and his degree in agency management in 1973. John, wife Joan, and their four children - David, 15; Kathy, 13; Lori, 12; and Julie, 4 - now reside in Short Hills, N.J.

Class Agent Dick Dutton, who does something else to feed, house and clothe himself, his wife, and two sons - he's production manager for Reader's Digest - has been elected to the board of directors of the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation, "GATF is a member-supported, nonprofit, scientific, technical, and educational organization serving the international graphic communications industries." WOW!

The University of California at Irvine has named Stan van den Noort, M.D., Dean of its College of Medicine. Stan joined UCI in 1970 as professor and chairman of the division of neurology, was appointed Associate Dean in 1972, and became acting Dean in January. Stan received his M.D., cum laude, from Harvard in 1954. He served his internship and residency in neurology at Boston City Hospital from 1954 to 1959. He was a resident in neuropathology from 1959 to 1960 and a research fellow in neurochemistry from 1960 to 1962, when he joined the faculty of Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland. Stan is a diplomate of the American Board of Neurology, an associate examiner of the American Board of Psychiatry, and a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology.

Out in Middle America, Minneapolis, Minn., to be exact, 3M in January named Bill Friedlander technical director of its Duplicating Products Labs, which involves copying machines. He was previously director of New Business Ventures. In his spare time, he has flown his own airplane, now sails, and has cruised in the Caribbean on bareboat charters.

Bill, wife Sally, and five children - Richard, 20, now a junior at Dartmouth; Wendy, 18, a college freshman; Margie, 15; Dotty, 11; and Jim, 9 - live in nearby Hudson, Minn., where Bill was on the Planning Commission for five years and now serves on the board of the City Hospital.

Dave Barker is now associate director of Planning and Analysis at Prudential Insurance Co.'s regional home office in Minneapolis, supervising about 100 persons. He has been with Prudential since 1954, when he received a Master's in Economics from the University of Minnesota.

Dave started in market research and was manager of Prudential's Research Division before moving up to his present assignment. He and wife Pat have four children: Melissa, 16; twins Nancy and Susan, 14; and Tom, 11. Dave is active in Republican politics and is currently Hennepin County, Minn., vice chairman.
