1939

A few months ago we reported that BillWebster and Cornie Miller, the two squires from Old Saybrook, Conn., had taken on the important post of co-chairmen of our 35th Reunion scheduled for June of 1974. Although this date may seem eons away to most of us, to those responsible it seems like tomorrow. Hence we have a plaintive note from Web suggesting that this column solicit any classmates interested in helping out on the committee, with a request that such parties contact either one of the co-chairmen. Many hands make light work!

From the offices of B. W. Dyer & Co., Sugar Economists & Brokers, comes the following: "Two 1939 classmates and another Dartmouth brother-alumni arranged to open a Philadelphia branch of B. W. Dyer & Company. Tony Hunsicker and his brother George ('45) have been appointed co-managers of the new Philadelphia branch. Both Hunsicker brothers have many years of experience in the food brokerage field. Tony was president of the Philadelphia Food Brokers Association in 1954. In 1959 and 1965 he was a regional director of the National Food Brokers Association. George is also active in grocery trade, golf associations, and civic organizations. Danny Dyer is managing partner of the New York headquarters of B. W. Dyer Co. He has been a three-term president of the National Sugar Brokers Association, president of the Sugar Club, member of the board of the New York Coffee & Sugar Exchange Inc., and is a director of the International Sugar Research Foundation." If we may pass on a comment, we would say, of course, that the above is sweet news. Urp!

Querying Bob Wehmeyer on his recent change of address, we received the following: "Yes, our address change results from a desire for more space and privacy in our personal lives as well as to consolidate our living in one home, rather than split our time and energies between our former home in Cape Elizabeth and a cottage at Little Sebago Lake. We now call "home" a lovely 1802 Cape set on 25 acres in the town of Parsonsfield, Me., of which nine are in orchard (320 trees) yielding high quality fruit. It is rolling apple country. I have given up agency management and devote all my professional time now to personal clients, working when and how I choose and relishing very much this new-found personal freedom. Still with the same company, Lincoln National Life, now going on 23 years. Eldest son and daughter continue to make Denver their homes, but we see them occasional summers and holidays."

The Bob Woodwards took a fall trip to San Francisco to visit their son Mark. Bob says driving (which he did) is by far the best way to see the country. He was home for the holidays, with memories of Fisherman's Wharf, Sausalito, and Bay Sailing: Now it's media research at Ross-Roy advertising, crabgrass at home, with a bit of skiing providing the icing.

Dick Monahon passed pleasantries with our Treasurer Sam Thurm way back during the Princeton game, and reported that the ski lift business is great. So great he doesn't miss the city a bit while running the Sugarbush Inn in Warren, Vt. Walt Martinson has new offices at 21 Franklin St., Quincy, Mass., to accomodate his accounting practice. Jim Corner spotted Dick Reubling and Walt Darby at the wild Ivy League football finale in Philly. A good game to see!

Once again we are indebted to the quick eyes of Sam Thurm who saw in the New York press that Bud Adler has retired from Helene Curtis, a company to which he has devoted his entire business career.

Union Oil of California has appointed JackSchrage president of its AMSCO Division, located in Palatine, Ill. The division makes polymer emulsions for paint, adhesives, and textile industries and also markets solvents, chemicals and many petrochemicals domestically. Jack joined the Sherwood Companies in 1944 and when AMSCO acquired the former, he was made southwestern region general manager. He became AMSCO Division vice president of marketing and sales in 1969.

Taking the opportunity to add again to address change department, we have some November reports to pass on: Hank Britton skipped from West Hartford out to 90 Mallard Dr., Farmington Woods, Farmington, Ct. 06095; Bob Bryant moved north from Alexandria, Va. to Mill Rd., Canaan, N.

C. 20521; Ray Merrick has moved from Holyoke, Mass. to 40 Aurora.Lane, South Yarmouth, Mass. 02664, as a lemming

H., for the gentler clime at 719 Avenida del Norte, Sarasota, Fla. 33581; Betty Ferguson, has moved from Lexington, Mass., to 24 Craven Place, Hilton Head, S. C. 29928; John Egbert's widow can now be reached as Mrs. Louisa B. Woods, 53 Creekwood, Cincinnati, Ohio 45246.

And this brings us to the bottom of the pile. Because we are writing this at the turn of the year, we are mindful of our classmates fortunes in 1973. We hope that things are falling into place as you read this, and that the promise is a great one for each and every one of you.
