1941

The recent and well-publicized reshuffling of the top brass at AT&T resulted in some new duties for Bill Cashel. Bill continues as vice chairman, chief financial officer, and director, but in addition he becomes chairman of the company's planning council, "a senior execu- tive group which reviews business strategies." Bill's been with Ma Bell ever since 1946, when he joined the Bell Telephone Company of Penn- sylvania.

Also in the business news this fall was WinsorWatson, who was named vice president, communications, of Kennecott Copper, It's a newly created post in which he "will be responsible for communications with investors, stockholders, community, government, employees and the general public" Win went to Kennecott in 1966 after service as executive vice president of the American Stock Exchange and a career in public relations, marketing, and advertising.

I can now bring you all the way up to date on Bob Dixon. Dix has become president of Fair- child Republic Co. in Farmingdale, L.I., and has settled in Huntington (3 Oak Hill Rd., Lloyd Harbor). Daughter Kelly Lee is a freshman at Dartmouth.

We also get belated word that last spring, just after Dix's retirement from the Air Force, the National Aeronautic Association awarded him the Collier Trophy, oldest and most prestigious U.S. aviation trophy. He won it jointly with the Tactical Air Command, of which he was commander, for "development and implementation of the Red Flag combat Simulation flight training program ... a new and significant contribution to national defense. It provides . . . the most realistic peacetime aerial combat training ever undertaken."

The class dues checks are coming in briskly, and with them messages from here, there and everywhere. In passing them along, Lou Young reports that "we are holding our own, and tell the gang that not all guards are fullbacks with their brains scrambled."

For openers you get greetings from JimMcLellan, Denville, N.J.; Dick Pace, Pensacoia, Fla.; Nick Carter, Palos Verdes Estates, Cal.; and George Murphy, Houston, Tex. ("Everything is fine in Houston, but getting too big - too many people!")

A note from Brodie Bjorklund, Glen Head, N.Y., says that "Hank, as you may know, retired from his Jet football career and is now at Hofstra Law School - made Law Review. Daughter Betsy, a nurse, married, also lives locally. I'm still involved in my second career at the D.A.'s office."

From Wenham, Mass., Ed McMillan writes: "Saw Es and Ellie Crowley - were in California for wedding of their son Frank, Dartmouth '76 or so, who is with Macy's Department Store in San Francisco."

The Far Flung Correspondent award goes to Bob Frondorf, who reveals that he is currently acting president of the Dartmouth Club of Hong Kong.

My suspicions about Dusty Rodes's address change prove correct: "Skipper and I will drive from Crystal Lake, Mich., back to Key Biscayne, Fla., for the winter via Dartmouth- Harvard game in Cambridge, which we will see with son Rusty (Dartmouth '73). Still enjoying early retirement in best of both the North and South."

And this from Bill Hotaling in Shaker Heights: "Big news for '7B is that son Andy is married - our first! He is in his fourth year at Case Western Reserve Medical School. She was a year ahead of him there, so is already an M.D. Because our youngest, Tom, is working in London, Jean and I are going over to visit him next month by way of Spain."

More in the bank for next month. See you then. Merry Christmas.
