1944
Herewith the last of these notes for this season; we next appear in the October issue.
Last chance, too, for you to get your 1976 Alumni Fund gift into college coffers. Do it right now. Make a dollar sign and put as many numbers after it as you can. Mail it in. Simple as that.
A wah-hoo-huzzah for Barbara Donnelly '77, daughter of Tommy and the late Jim Donnelly. She is one of eight Senior Fellows chosen for next year and the only female "fellow" in the group. Barby is also the coxswain of the men's JV heavyweight crew, and "a great cox," in the words of the coach.
Meanwhile, back in Worcester, Mrs. Tommy was on hand for the dedication of the "James C. Donnelly Gallery of American Art" in the Worcester Art Museum. "It was a lovely tribute to Jim." She said. "He put so much of himself into the museum."
Nice to see West Virginia lawyer/farmer EdKnight back in Hanover with wife Whickey. They had a pretty busy schedule: a couple of weeks in Las Vegas; weekend in Hanover; and then off to Bermuda with a Mum. Back in April, Ed was Dartmouth's delegate at the inauguration of the new president of Morris Harvey College in Charleston.
That old carpet-man (not bagger) Ted Brush is still talking wall-to-wall in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and keeping house with Pat. In 1973 he was named regional contract manager of J. P. Stevens & Co., Inc. textile manufacturers. Says boating is his number one hobby.
John Callow, who has spent most of his life in broadcast time sales, seems to have shifted a gear or two. He became vice president sales of Intex in 1973, a broadbase consulting outfit. It's in Stamford, Conn., and he lives in Stamford, Conn., so there is no more commuting and lots more time for golf, tennis and paddle tennis with wife Betty and chums.
We've hardly kept book on '44 fatherhood, but we have noted from time to time that some of our boys have not been exactly slothful. What have we? If you take the "seven come eleven" route, we have Jim Hardigg, X Larrabee, JoeMaleno and Joe MacFarland each the father of seven offspring; and Dick Ettinger and Ry Robbins are co-champions with 11 apiece. In between, and no slouch, is Mac Corner and his nine Corners.
Beyond that, we've begrudgingly admired the span of some of of the parenthoods. Jim andBetty Bodine, for example, have Nancy born in 1944, Pat in 1948, and Barbara in 1961 - Nancy and Barbara 17 years apart. Sam and MaryLou Barnes started with Lee in 1949 and have ended (or?) with Karyn in 1965 - 16 years between - with Kathy, Ron, and Mary Ann in the meantime. And then Sam and Ann Coombs launched Linda in 1946 (then Bill, Bob, Christine, Michael) and wound up (or?) with Kingsland in 1964 - 18 years apart.
Beyond siring, Jim Bodine left Borden in 1973 to become a vice president of Johnson and Johnson in Brunswick, N.J. Sam Barnes moved up in 1970 from district group service manager with Prudential Life in Newark to regional group manager; and Sam Coombs signs his mail as president of Coombs Associates, a manufacturers representative outfit he took over in 1970 out in Des Plaines, Ill.
Speaking of Des Plaines, just down the road from Coombs is Comes - Don Comes, that is, and in 1973 he departed Leslie Foods, Inc. to don the presidential fedora at Central Sales Co., a food brokerage. We're not sure there are more than two Comes offspring, because Don was one of those who didn't turn over and fill out the back side of the 1975 Alumni Records questionnaire
Back to New Jersey and still with the Bs, (Barnes & Bodine) it is unearthed that Phil H.Brown has arose (ariz, arisen) from assistant vice president, sales, to vice president, marketing, with J. L. Hammett Co., doers of school supplies.
Even more N.J. (if you don't think it lopsided) and we learn that in 1974 Bill Fead switched from Shulton Toiletries to manager of manufacturing and marketing services (that's MOMAMS) for American Cyanamid Co., Inc. in Boundbrook (N.J., that is). Wife Hope is an editor at Rutgers University, helping to pay for Janice at Skidmore, Dana at Muskingum and Kelly '78 at Dartmouth. Bill '70 is into Rutgers Law and married.
Then, you have to say that Rolf De Leuw and wife Dindy are not exactly what you'd call gadabouts. Records show that they've lived at 8 Covington Meadows, St. Louis, Mo., for at least 26 years, since 1950. Rolf, a lawyer with the International Shoe Company, was made secretary of the company in 1972.
Interested in beef critters on your back lot in Scarsdale, Arlington, or Winnetka? Dial Del Field, also in Mizzou, Kansas City. He's been with the National Livestock Company since 1955 and was made president in 1970. We're sure his kids are great, but one chose Brown over Dartmouth and another Princeton. Good schools, too, of course . . .
Out of Texas comes the sage word that FredHeidner has had an oil change - from a tax accountant with Humble Oil to a tax manager with Exxon Chemical Co., all of this in the heart of down-town Houston.
Correction: Ernie Rice writes that he has not left Loewi & Co. (investment banking) as we reported here in May. "Started with them in '46, he says, "and hope to be till retirement."
And that's it. Have a lovely summer. Blessings.
John Furfey '44 has retired after 28 years of government service, moved from Bethesda toWeston, Mass., and is now New England representative for a Philadelphia-basedmanagement consultant firm. Shown here with wife Bernadine are Rosemary, a Maygraduate of Kenyon, Katherine, who is at Boston U., John III at Northern Illinois U.,and Marguerite who is a high school sophomore.
