1943

We claim a record for the fastest column in the Magazine! It is being written at Mach 2.03 - 1,350 mph for you old flyboys; 1 mile in 2 2/3 seconds for you old ground pounders - 55,000 feet over the Atlantic aboard the British/French Concorde. (We shan't go into details in this column, but are prepared at any time to extoll the advantages of supersonic transatlantic travel.) Unfortunately, as Joan Hier can attest, this is the only fast part of the column. Incidentally, we recommend Joan Hier's restaurant column from December 1974 issue of the Alumni Magazine for an excellent choice of restaurants in the Hanover area. We have tried several of her recommendations and the only thing we would add is that Wells Woods was for us outstanding - on a non-football weekend.

From memory over the summer, we report that Paul and Ruth Young have purchased a new vacation home on a island in Lake Winnepesaukee. Their next door neighbor on the island is Howie Leavitt, now stationed in Washington with the Department of State. Paul remains active in Hanover affairs as well as down in Eastman where he is, as we recall, president of the Eastman Corporation. Eastman has several '43s in part-time residence. Of these, we saw Bob Clarke and Eddie and Dottie Lider this summer. Over the summer, Eddie has remodeled the Nugget into two theatres to offer a more varied fare to the College and the town.

In other areas of the country, Bill Seidman is still up to his ears helping President Ford solve the economic problems of the country. Bill and Sally have just moved into their own home in Georgetown. Last spring Bill gave an informal talk followed by a question and answer session at Hopkins Center. The talk was sponsored by the American Forum organization at Dartmouth.

The Country Journal of August 1975 has a big article on Tuss and Carol Hand (See thismonth's Alumni Album. Ed.) and the Hand melon farm in Greenwich, N.Y. Tuss melons are famous throughout the country and have been served at the White House (even before BillSeidman got involved).

New moves include Hud and Lois King being transferred to Chicago where Hud and Lois met when Hud was stationed in Glenview during the war. This leaves only Kelly and Janie Coffin to guard the '43 bastions in Atlanta - Don andPat Crance having moved out to Denver last year.

Larry Noble of Redding, Conn., has joined the staff of the Richard Storm Agency, Inc. handling residential property sales, while TomMunn has been promoted to regional superintendant of agencies for Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co. in Newark, N. J. Tom has been with Mutual Benefit since 1954 and lives in Caldwell, N.J. Bob Krumm was named president of W.H. Morton & Co., the investment banking division of the parent company.

Finally, Eddie "the writer" O'Brien has started publishing a new magazine entitled Hockey. That, surprisingly enough, is what the magazine is all about! If you are interested, get in touch with Eddie at 67 Old Highway, Wilton, Connecticut 06897.

That's it till the informal reunion.
