1954
Seasons Greetings! By this time your skis should be out, well waxed, and ready for a winter of hot dogging as befits people of our young age! Let us give you some light reading for the holidays ahead.
Jonathan Moore has a better appearing and disappearing act than Houdini. Jon has been a key personal associate to Elliott Richardson in his various cabinet assignments. To keep you up to date on his activities, I quote from an October 19 newspaper article: "Attorney General Elliott L. Richardson is re-organizing the Justice Department to give broad new authority to a key personal aid.
"In the new System, Associate Attorney General Jonathan Moore takes on a major role in forming and carrying out Department policies, recommending nominees for political appointments including Federal Judgeships, and dealing with the White House."
Three days after this article appeared Jon announced that he was leaving the Department with Elliott Richardson who had resigned over the firing of Archibald Cox. I would really doubt that this is the last we'll hear of Jonathan Moore in the political arena. You can't keep your eye on Elliott Richardson and not let it fall on Jon! Good Luck Jon!
Ed Winnick has written a letter taking issue with Bruce Classon's previous statements as to Ed's sabbatical from his law practice. Ed writes that he did not go to Portugal for a year as previously reported but only spent three months in Europe with Mary Lou and the children. Gee Ed, we're so sorry you suffered so!
I just received an interesting letter from BobWhite. "Well. I've decided to leave graduate school behind me and go into business for myself - in Provincetown, Mass. After a rather short stint with Pare Plee Umbrella Company, I have just been named assistant vice president! We are specialists in making all kinds of umbrellas and rainware and manufacture approximately 30,000 items per year. It's lucrative and booming.
"In addition, I have been working evenings at the "Buttery" in Provincetown with Harold Whitakker, - as part-time manager. Whittakker was a fairly well-known Maitre D' in New York and the man who actually re-wrote the Italian National Anthem a few years ago for President Fanfani. He and I are presently collaborating on a new rendition.
"Furthermore I have nearly completed a novel temporarily entitled; "The Life and Times of Professor Spahn." Dodd Mead is quite interested for the spring!" If you're caught in the rain in Provincetown or just plain hungry, stop in and see Bob!
The New York Times of October 12 carried an article indicating that Tom Myers has been made president and chief operating officer of the Norman, Craig, and Kummel Advertising Agency. Tom had joined Norman, Craig, and Kummel in 1966 after a business career with Colgate and then with General Foods. Great going, Tom. Hang in there!
Lots of news this month from the Medical contingent scattered from one side of the country to the other. Dr. Dave Reed writes that he is director of the Western Pennsylvania Regional Medical Program and teaching at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School. Dr. BruceLafollette writes that he's been promoted to Army Colonel and moved to Hawaii where he is enjoying his home on the water and his 33-foot sailboat. Bruce is in orthopedic surgery involved in resident training and clinical research as well as in his practice. To quote Bruce, "The Military community is a far cry from Dartmouth that considers R.O.T.C. too inflammatory to re-consider. Stupid!" Dr. Don Brief and Beth have just returned from a week in Barcelona, Spain, where Doctor Don presented two papers at the International Cardiovascular Society meeting. Don has an active surgical practice in the Newark, New Jersey area.
Perry Davis has moved from Pepsi-Cols Company to direct the management information services for & Fink Products Co., Montvale, N.J.,a division of Sterling Drung Inc. He had been direetor of information vices his former company. Perry, wife Lou Ellen, and their three: Michael. II, David, 9; and Leslie,4 will move from Connecticut to 44 Choctaw Trail, in Ringwood N.J. to be nearer the center of action.
Dr. Burt Onofrio writes he is an assistant professor in neurosurgery at the Mayo Clinic Burt has to share celebrity honors with his wife who is a recognized ceramicist with a national show at Sheboyegan, Wisconsin. The Onofrio family includes Scott, 11; Gregg, 10; and Jen. nifer, 7. Dr. Dick Deaner is a Navy Captain and head of the Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Unit at the Oakland (Calif.) Naval Hospital. Dick writes, "Getting to be an old man (as are not we all?). Losing hair (gracefully)!" You're not alone my friend!
Dr. Ray Corwin is an ob-gyn man in Portland, Ore., where he extended the Dartmouth experience by participating in the Pacific Northwest Dartmouth Alumni Seminar where he shared '54 billing with Dalt and Jane Dulac. Our last medicine man. Dr. John Steel made it back to LaJolla, Calif,, after reunion in a Circuitous manner. John and family returned west from Hanover by way of Mystic, Conn.; New York City; Gettysburg; and Pittsburgh where a party was had for old friends including MackLynch and Bob Jeffrey!
Well, if you need a doctor anywhere in the country, be sure you choose a classmate - if you can find one home!
