1943
SOW is the time:
Time to sign up for the 35th on June 13, 14 and 15- Don Reich and his committee have arranged a fine program for all hands and you should have received a copy of the reunion schedule in the mail. Don advises that over 100 classmates have already said yes and an additional 60 to 70 have said maybe. In fact, he has 35 checks, cash on the barrelhead, as of this time. Under current projections, Don expects at least 250 classmates, wives and children. The most current list of yes's and maybe's should be coming to you shortly with Herb Marx's Clanging Bells.
In connection with the reunion, you also should have received a letter from Bob Field, our reunion giving chairman. Bob reports that "things are looking good." Although there have been several substantial gifts - indeed most show increases - continuation of the trend is absolutely necessary if the Class is to meet, much less exceed, its 35th reunion giving goal. Bob and Fred Lent, who has pulled the stroke oar as head agent for the last few years, need the support of all. Keep in mind the slogan, "give to the college of your choice, but givey
The general news is pretty good this month due to the fact that (with red face and apologies) your secretary missed last month's deadline due to professional preoccupation with congressional aviation deregulation proposals. (These are alternatively known as "The Academicians Bill to Screw-Up the Air Transportation Industry" or "The Aeronautical Lawyers Relief Act" - subtitled "Now We Can Get The Kid Through College" - depending upon which side of the proposition you take.) Be that as it may, this means a longer and newsier column this month.
Just south of Hanover in the city of Keene, we have learned, Bob "Popular" Clark has sold his house to classmate George Mason. Bob and Bunny are staying in Keene but also have a great weekend and retirement retreat up in Eastman. Fritz Geller also writes from Keene that the snow in New Hampshire has been great for skiing this past season. He also sent on a picture taken during the recent fall reunion showing one R. Clark and C. C. Coffin drinking (of all things) beer. We do not dare reprint the picture due, not so much to the delicate sensibilities of Class, but rather the poor quality of the picture since we suspect the photographer himself was drinking beer or something akin thereto.
This brings us to a U.S.A.F. hometown news please from Bitburg, Germany, indicating that airy Morse (Doctor and Major) arrived there or his first U.S. Air Force active-duty assignmen. The release says Harry will serve as "an otorhinolaryngologist." (Maybe Frank West, Doc Fielding or one of our other class M.D.'s can tell us what that is - your secretary can't even pronounce it!) Anyway, Harry, who got his M.D. degree in 1947 from Temple University School of Medicine, went to Germany from Falmouth, Mass.
We have an unofficial rumor that Hud andLois King are moving back to Atlanta. That reunites the terrible trio of King, Coffin and Crance. And for those of you who do not read the sports pages, Chub Feeney has moved to Suite 1306, 1 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, the new National League headquarters.
Drex Godfrey (who graduated from Williams after the war) is now head of the public administration department at Rutgers University and lives in Princeton, N.J.
Andy Caffrey passed on the word that MikeMcCormick, who is with John Hancock Insurance Company, is making a good recovery from a recent heart attack. And Don Reich passes on the word that Bill Whitmarsh recently had a very serious automobile accident in New England and, after an extended stay at Mary Hitchcock, is now back in the Providence area for a long recuperation. Bill, who had developed and later sold a lumber business in Penn-sylvania, is now in the real estate business. According to Don, Bill would appreciate hearing from friends. His address is Little Compton, R. I., 02837, phone (401) 635-4848.
We close, sports fans, with a final bit of information for the reunion. John Koslowski has lined up the golf and tennis coaches at Hanover so there will be not only golf and tennis tournaments during the reunion, but also arrangements for the hackers and noncompetitive types in both sports to enjoy themselves.
See you in Hanover in June - it promises to be the best.
