Over Penn weekend Frank and Shirley Simp- son at Dexter's Inn were hosts to a lively '41 reunion. Before Harvard the aforementioned H & J. Wilson, replete with deckchair landmark and other well-publicized facilities, were rousing hosts near the Stadium.
A pleasant visit with trim John Everett found that he is dividing his year, with around six months in Atlanta and six in New England Long a textiles executive, John sprang from New Hampshire and stretches the New England duty, he said, as far as he can. Another trim party, Dick Whittier, has a new and sizable client for his travels in northeast representation, in Dominion Engineering, of Toronto. "The kins are through school now - Dartmouth, Smith Michigan Law," he said. "This is a good challenge and I'm happy."
A new, three-volume work, Soviel-ThirdWorld Relations, including one book devoted to Russian relations with the Middle East, has been written by Professor Charlie McLanea and is distributed by the Columbia University Press (Published by Central Asian Research Ctr., London.) Graduate study, a hitch at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, travels through the Eastern World and his teaching career in Hanover - efforts spanning the post-war period - combined to produce this timely and detailed series. A keen skier and active in the N.H. Democratic party, Charlie has published two other books on Soviet policy.
Class dues payments have yielded a harvest of checks and also of news. "Retired from N.J. Bell Telephone Co. on Sept. 1. Am now working part-time from my home for Telaids Binder and Index Co., Toms River, N.J. This will supplement the pension. Dartmouthly. Bud Bye." From Russ Garfield: "Retired from paper business (had been Pres., Treas., General Mgr, of Ashuelot Paper Co., Hinsdale, N.H.) after 32 years. We are moving this month to operate. Montana cattle ranch, which we have acquired over the past few years." (New address: Diamond Ranch, Forsyth, Mont. 59327.)
"Most interesting experience currently is my mid-career switch this year from private practice of pediatrics to the School Health Service here at the College of William and Mary. It wasn't easy to do so, but should be a rewarding experience each year from here on. If Howie Wilson is right, you must be a terrific treasure, Lou, to accumulate all that money for the class reasury. If the word gets around, your services will indeed be in demand elsewhere. - FrankMunsey."
"Just back from Hanover, where we (my wife Ruth, and son's girlfriend, Jane) left son, Eric, Class of '77, at Richardson Hall. Best wishes Alan Stern." "Onkel Lou - getting down her. at all these days? If so, don't forget to holler. Best, Bob Harvey."
The class project, candid career counsel's for undergraduates ("Is There Life After Dartmouth?"), will have a two-day get-together on January 18 and 19, 1974. Last April's initial effort on the campus, with six '41s talking students in great detail, attracted 150. All concerned felt this was a successful start and student organizations will again act as sponsors. on-the spot in Hanover. Ed McMillan, and Bruce Freidlich have been working to assemble a Bruce which will cover different fields from those represented in April.
Divers gleanigs:Lou and Barbara Young and the H. were at a recent "Dartmouth Horizons" session in Hanover . . . the DickBlanchards's daughter Anne was married mlv to Albert Freihofer '73, at the parents' in Convent Station, N.J. ... an earlier Wedding joined Charles and Mary Bolte's Luster Brooks and Jeffrey Randolph, in Dresden, Me. . . Dick Hill was named Chairman of the Business Council for International Understanding . . George and Millie Thompson have been tripping up to N.H., looking for an up-country house.
Well. when we got ready to crank up and go north. we saw they was a real blow. We took most everything out of the bureau drawers and coat closet before bundling into the Glidden. It looked as though it'd be quite uncomfortable, but there was every chance it'd be an exciting afternoon.
In the stands, it had rained- a touch, papers were whirling, the wind was chasing ragged clouds over the field and pulling and hauling on the big trees just beyond. It had come off chilly, 100. and the crowd responded with gusto, in familiar North Country fashions: boots, toppers. wool knee socks, warm-up pants, levis, old sweaters piled upon old sweaters, sheepskin coats, raccoon coats, mackinaw coats, knitted hats, fat mittens, corduroys and loud-colored mufflers.
Nothing effete about this bunch, nothing homogenized, nor climate controlled, no astroturf. The crowd scrambled against the blow to their seats, clutching head gear and potables, waving and shouting up and down the aisles. A platoon of dogs scattered on to the field, the bands started tooting, one all in blue, the other In green, and the players ran out. Anticipation had been ballooning - and it was all the sweeter for that blowy pre-game gathering in Hanover. I do wisht you fellers too far away could of ben along - you'd of liked it.
