1949

Those of you who haven't heard anything about John Carey for a long time will be happy to learn that he is working in Rochester, N.Y., for Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Com- pany. He lives in Fairport, N.Y., 187 S. Main Street. His first wife Nancy, who he says financed his Dartmouth education by working as secretary to Eddie Chamberlain and Bob Strong, died in 1972. He married Edith Dewey in 1975. In total they have 12 children. Besides keeping track of his family, which sounds like a full time job, he is also very involved in professional and amateur acting and has appeared in a long list of productions. He also plays the flute and is involved in making radio and TV commercials.

Les Felton writes that he has moved his office from downtown Worcester to a location right next door to the hospital. He says that at his stage in life the convenience of being right next to the hospital was too tempting to pass up. He is a partner in Hahnemann Urology Associates, Inc. He was recently elected a delegate to the American Medical Association from Massachusetts and seems to be quite involved in their work. He has one daughter who had started at Wheaton College and a son Who has applied at Dartmouth. (Good luck!)

The Alumni Records Office has reported various addresses for Jim Smith but we finally tracked him down at Exeter, N.H., where his Learnco, Inc. is located. I assume his home is somewhere nearby. Jim* reports that he has developed Learnco from scratch over the last four years. The company publishes simple, down-to-earth, inexpensive products that deal with basic educational skills. Right now his principal interest is products relating to spelling skills. Jim says that he is in Boston about three days a week and is available for lunch.

Dr. Ed Snoke sends his best to all his classmates. He is a long-time resident of Grosse lie, which is an island near Detroit between the U.S. and Canada. He says he lives there with 8,000 other souls and spends most of his non-working hours sailing and bicycling. His sailing has involved large and small boats. Right now the small variety is favored, as he found that most of his spare time was spent maintaining his larger boat. His only son is a junior at Western Michigan, majoring in Business Administration. He reports that he has seen Art Morley and that he is quite involved with the malpractice insurance problems that most of the medical profession is facing today. Maybe Dartmouth should be thinking about a combination medical/law program.

Ted Krug says that he made the Harvard-Dartmouth game this year with Dick Donahue and Bob Slattery. His youngest daughter Betsy is a junior at Skidmore, following in her mother's footsteps. His oldest daughter Susie is working at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. She is married and her husband, who is a lawyer, is presently looking for a job.

The Christmas season brought a few cards with news from classmates around the country. Bob Williams sent greetings from Annapolis, Md., where he is involved with real estate and yacht selling. Two children Rusty and Caroline are attending the University of West Virginia. His other daughter Charlotte and her husband are teaching school nearby in Pennsylvania. Sandy Kelsey is living in Kilmarnock, Va., which is located on Virginia's northern neck on Chesapeake Bay. Apparently he has retired from the foreign service and is waiting patiently for our next reunion, which he says he and Anne will attend. I also heard from Jeff Farnum, who lives in one of those high-rises that overlook Boston Harbor (85 East India Row). You can look right into his living room when you land at Logan.

I am badly in need of news for this column, so please drop me a line and let me know what you are doing. It doesn't have to be news of a dramatic, earth-shaking nature. Just a few words about what you are doing business-wise and family-wise will be appreciated, particularly by those who haven't heard anything about you for 25 years.
