1944

A tidy tally, of telling tales this time,

Dr. Ted Mortimer writes from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland: "Joan and I enjoy being back in Ohio. She is full-time faculty as a psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry here and I have spent the last two years again getting on-the-job training, having changed from being head of a Department of Pediatrics, while I was in New Mexico for nine years, to being head of a Department of Preventative Medicine."

Nearer by, Ted's old med school chum Dr. Marsh Tenney has stepped down as chairman of the Dartmouth Medical School Department of Physiology to devote more time to teaching and research. Marsh returned to Dartmouth in 1956 to lead the refounding of the medical school and has served as dean and department head over a span of 21 years.

On the move: First, Dick and Carol Ranger, with Dick cramming Portugese for his new three-year Ford Motor Co. assignment as director of parts and service for all of Brazil. "We're renting a lovely house in Sao Paolo," writes Carol, "and all '44s are invited to drop in." Daughter Pam is with them for the fall term of her senior year in high school; son Rit '74 has his law degree from the University of Denver, plans to marry in June, and is filling in between with Atlantic Richfield Co., division of land management, in Lafayette, La.

Second, Bob and Anita Cummins left Michigan for Boston some six years ago, and now own a house in Wellesley. After stints with R. H. Stearns in Boston, and a store in Jacksonville, Fla., Bob became merchandise manager of all women's ready-to-wear for Outlet Department Stores in Providence, a 50-million-dollar enterprise with seven branch stores. The Cummins have no children and so concentrate instead raising strawberries, raspberries, and tomatoes.

Third, word just in that Major General Adolph Schwenk has been named commanding general, III Marine Amphibian Force, and commanding general, Third Marine Division on Okinawa.

Fourth, Brad and Marilyn Grinnell say they had enough of urban life, and commuting between New Jersey and N.Y. City, and so they upped and left for up-state New York, the Rochester area, to be exact. Brad has joined son Brad in the job printing business and thus started a new career. "It's starting from scratch," he says, "selling, bookkeeping, youname-it." The Grinnells have bought a house in Pittsford, nine miles out in the country.

On the go: First, George and Helen Bruce got retirement under way in style, to wit, a month's tour of Merrye Olde England. A week in London, and seeing Cy Thompson's widow Phyllis, and then three weeks over moor and past pubs in a rented car

Second, not far behind were Ed and FranHills, mixing a lot of pleasure with business as they skateboarded through Sweden, France, and Italy.

Third, Bill and Liz Craig, Yellow Pages in Dayton, took the phone off the hook and headed for a vacation in the Hanover Inn. It was a rainy week and thus wet golf, wet sightseeing, wet antiquing, wet football, wet whistles, and wet friends. They also got wet feet tromping around their newly acquired acres on top of an Etna alp.

Fourth, Joaquin and Martha Aguirre, in Hanover last May, after attending the graduation of daughter Monina, from Pine Manor Junior College. Joaquin is the number-one fellow in a Bolivian corporation, Corporacion Boliviana de Domento, in La Paz, and sugar is the number-one product of his group of companies.

On the way: First, diversified barrister AlexGillespie named vice president of Asarco, Inc., New York, a diversified metals concern.

Second, Beat-'em-to-a-pulp Homer Bogart elected executive vice president of Perkins-Goodwin paper company.

Third, Jack Riley, hockey coach at West Point since 1066 and all that, was the featured speaker at the Ridgefield, Conn., Athletic Association youth hockey awards dinner last April, with pictures in the local paper, yet.

On the mend: First, Art Allen taking it easy after a serious heart attack, but still managing several hours a day helping manage a service station down the street in South Orleans, Mass.

And then a warming announcement came our way: "The children of Alice W. Lewis and Arthur H. Kiendl are pleased to announce the marriage of their parents in Elyria, Ohio, on July 9, 1977." Art, whose first wife died last January, wrote: "It doesn't seem possible that life could be this beautiful again."

That's it. Blessings.
