1920
It is a pleasure to welcome Charles Herbert Marshall IV, born October 19, 1972, first grand child of Dr. Herbert Marshall of Washington, D.C.
Dr. Kenneth "Pike" Emery continues to be active in the Bernice P. Bishop Museum in Honolulu. He has made two trips to his old stamping grounds in Tahiti and plans another in 1973. The Islands are experiencing an influx of newcomers who have upset the usual island tranquillity - an experience that is less than uncommon these days.
The daughter of Ed and Helen DeRouville visited them in Worcester in the summer of 1972 on leave from assignment in Europe. She had had 15 years in the U.S. Foreign Service, largely in London, Brussels, and Paris. At the latter post she served as secretary to the American Ambassador. Ed, Helen, and daughter had a fine two weeks together on Cape Cod. The weather cooperated beautifully.
Finther Worcester news: Doc and HarrietMiller, their daughter and son-in-law, and granddaughter, aged 3½, attended Alumni College in the summer of '72 and presumably spent some time later in the Bavarian Alps if a lovely Christmas card from the Millerscan be so interpreted.
Ted and Dorothy Cart winter as usual in Bermuda. Ted announces that his son Theodore W., a graduate of Williams in 1953, now has his Ph.D. in History and is an assistant professor at Francis Marion College in Florence, S.C. Congratulations to Dr. Cart and his proud parents!
Joe and Edith McDonald reside at 18 West Street, Hanover, N.H. The good Dean Emeritus sent on his class dues to Al Frey with the message of thanks "for the privilege of maintaining my good standing in '20," citing its many rewards. Meanwhile Joe has celebrated his 80th birthday, being feted quietly in the vicinity of Baker Library by Librarian Lathem, Pete Lihatsh, Dean Emeritus Stearns Morse, John Sloan Dickey, to name a few in attendance. Belated congratulations, Joe.
A mysterious message from Wes Jones in West Palm Beach, Fla. - something about "Assuming that reversals can be perpendicular as well as horizontal" Wes concludes that "he has probably been sitting on his brains all this time." You said it. Wes, I only repeated it.
Les Dowling is moving into retirement slowly, he says. The Dowlings plans called for Christmas and New Years holidays to be spent in Germany with Major David and Mary Spencer and the Dowling grandchildren.
Reporting "no news of importance but still in good health:" Dan Bender, Buck Hill Falls, Pa.; Ed Stern, Chappaqua, N.Y.; Don McKay, Fish Creek, Wis.: Bob Mulcahy, Watertown, Mass.; Ed Maling, Menlo Park, Cal.; Stan Conway, Cohoes, N.Y.; Sam Center, Plymouth, N.H.; Dutch Willkie, Amsterdam, N.Y., and SussCotner, Sun City, Cal. Dutch added that he hadn't recovered from the Trustees decision to go coed and Russ Cotner stated that the "Golden Years are getting a little p-py."
From Byfield, Mass., come greetings from BenPearson who maintains he is quite well and makes frequent hunting and fishing forays in Maine where he maintains a comfortable camp.
Down in South Swansea, Mass., retired bank president Cy Rounseville lives a quiet life punctuated with just enough real estate appraising to remind him of busier days. "Keeps me out of mischief," he says.
Hank Dearborn, who summers in Maine and winters in Daytona Beach, Fla., writes longingly of last year's conducted tour to Vienna, then on to Yugoslavia and the Greek Isles. Really now, Henry, you can't have it so good all the time!
From Howard and Helen Pullen in Battle Creek, Mich., we received a Christmas note that they were forgoing their Tucson winter vacation to open up their new house in Battle Creek.
In the excellent December 1972, Vol. II, No. I issue of Tuck Today under the heading "Alumni Accounts," Editor Lois Aaron introduced her columns with the life, wisdom, and experience of Al Frey, T'21. She said "our choice had to be someone widely known and admired, when our audience would enjoy hearing about. It wasn't difficult to choose."
"He is a man whose active affiliation with Tuck lasted longer than that of any other student or living faculty member and who probably knows more of the Tuck family than anyone else."
Editor Aaron then went on to relate the many accomplishments of this modest young scholar in his early seventies who quietly enjoys life on his Dresden, Me., farm close by Wiscasett.
Twenty men, wherever they are, will enjoy this article which is accompanied by an excellent informal picture of Al. One might well say of him "His wisdom is exceeded only by his wit."
From Paul Richter comes two messages; that he flew out to Denver to visit with his daughter and her fine family; while there he talked via phone with Dean Travis in Bozeman who told him of a Travis fishing trip on favorite Montana streams with Paul Sample and Jim Chilcott. So endeth the March notes. Adios, amigos!
