1937
At this writing we are about to embark for Hanover to attend the annual class officer's meeting. One item to be discussed is how to augment our scholarship fund already mentioned in the Mint Bag. Fred Asher's idea has already been subscribed to by several members and that's a gift to the Class of 1937 Scholarship Fund of any amount to celebrate "landmark birthdays" such as 60 or 65 but any in between would be welcome. With the Class committed to $ 1,000 a year we have to think of funding a principle and our five bucks tacked onto the dues needs embellishment due to inflation etc. This is pointed at familys, sons or daughters, and relatives who wonder what to give old Dad along with the usual necktie. Send it to Tom Nast, 14 Burling Ave., White Plains, New York, 10605.
John Schilling has moved from Oklahoma to Seattle, Wash., where he says he has "merely shifted responsibilities" to now being a full-time professor at the University Hospital Medical School, very similar to his previous position as department head but now minus the administrative responsibilities. John adds that moves like this are easier at age 27 than 57 but with his dedication we regard him as eternally young.
From vacationing in Florida a note from Shirley and Bob Luneborg. Due to lack of previous information we can only say they have "taken over" the sales operation of his longtime connection in New York. Their card reads "a combination of the finest American made gifts and decorative accessories including Old Sturbridge Village, authentic Williamsburg and Newport reproductions tied into the Bicentennial theme." Also items from Virginia Metalcrafters, Victorius (fine framed pictures), Beth Tucker (colorful dried flowers), and many other items. Their sales location is 225 5th Avenue, New York, Room 501. Bob says business is great and younger daughter Lynn works with them and reps for them throughout the New England states (while they lie on the beach at Palm Springs soaking up sun and martinis).
Bob Crabb tells us from Minneapolis his business is shopping centers. He is president of Dayton Hudson Properties, the real estate arm of Dayton Hudson Corporation, primarily a retailing operation with department stores in several states plus some low margin stores like Target in the Midwest and Lechmere in Boston. His HQ is Nicollet Mall, a downtown street of eight blocks converted several years ago by banning autos and restricted to pedestrians, busses, and taxis. The office is the IDS Center, a 51-story building that has become a landmark in the city. He sees few classmates but last summer Ed Eaton and family visited them in their vacation home in northern Minnesota where he and Ed got in a few good licks at tennis.
Boz Bosworth is organizing again. This time the Dartmouth Club of Southwest Florida which we assume is in Naples. Two luncheons and a dinner meeting attended by 37 loyalites. Boz is prezy and the secretary is Bud McKinlay'42, Don's brother. Attendees stretched from the class of 1921 through 1942.
Dr. Collin McCarty, Overseer of the Medical School, has been appointed associate director for graduate education at the Mayo Foundation in Rochester, Minn. The Graduate School of Medicine currently has an enrollment of some 675 physicians and scientists engaged in 70 residency and fellowship programs and expenditures this year will be more than $12 million. In addition to his new post Collie will continue as a neurologic surgeon at the clinic.
We have been holding a letter from Al Martin. He is president of the King Fifth Wheel Company, Pennsylvania, but also has a hobby as a specialist in rhododendrons with the honor of being the first eastern president of that society. He had five acres of plants but last year moved to a more manageable one acre. Al says he has never truly been as close to Dartmouth as to the University of lowa where he did graduate work and taught. His time in Hanover was spent holding two jobs.with little socializing. He has returned once in a while to see the town and old friends like Herb West who died last year but he has not seen one member of our Class in 30 years. In addition to the King Fifth Wheel division he has plants now manufacturing the most advanced high temperatures furnaces in the country as well as temperature measuring and sensing devices and aircraft quality machining.
Mort Berkowitz' daughter Betsy was recently married to Alfred Loomis 3rd in New York. Bob Areson's son Paul married Jennie Greenewald in Denver, Colorado (news kindness of Falion Inc., of that area who adds that Fritz Pansing is still pushing Pontiacs and Don McKinlay still pushing law while Bill is pushing the Johns Manville products).
This is the final appearance of this column until October. No more July reunion issue we hear So this is the last exhortation to get your alumni fund gift in. This could be a bad year if business remains stymied so please add whatever extra you can which will be helped by the matching gift scheme.
