1943

Jim Adams of Redwood City, Calif., is at the top of the alphabetical listing in our class directory, and while I was in the Bay Area recently I had the chance to talk with him. Jim remains active as a real estate broker. He and Clarisse were enthusiastic about a trip to Hawaii taken earlier this year and also enjoy taking short vacations in the northern California area. Son Peter lives nearby in Half Moon Bay. Daughter Sue is married, lives in Tucson, and has two children. Jim says he wonders what Ernie Giusti is up to these days. We tried to reach J. Kent Hutchinson in Palo Alto, but learned from his son that he was vacationing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

One of our former U.S. Presidents is in distinguished company. Amax Inc. announced recently the election of two new directors Gerald R. Ford and Emil Mosbacher Jr. Bus is described in the news item as "engaged in independent oil and gas exploration and development and real estate investment." The other new director's current activities are not specified!

Taking the Mosbacher research a bit further, we noted a New York Times account of a magnificent party in Greenwich, Conn., given by Ravi Tikkoo, an "Indian-born tanker magnate," presumably in honor of the World Wildlife Fund and conservation, although the guests weren't quite sure. The account continues:

"Pat Mosbacher, who lives in the vicinity and whose husband Emil (Bus) Mosbacher, was chief of protocol during the first Nixon Administration, explained- why they were there. 'We're for everything,' she said."

The classy Chieftain Motel ("Special Accomodations for '43s") remains in the Dartmouth family but is no longer our own "class" hostelry. According to local real estate reports, John Goode has sold the Chieftain, and the new owner is a "youngster" of the class of 1956, Don Spitzli. The deal was arranged by Bob McLaughry '44, a Hanover real estate broker.

Roy Watson, chairman of the board of the Kahler Corporation, Rochester, Minn., has been named as guest lecturer at the International Institute of Glion, near Montreux, Switzerland. Roy will be conducting six-week seminars at this hotel management school and will be covering "management of human resources in the hospitality industry." Roy joined the Kahler Hotels in 1950, two years after graduating from the Cornell Hotel Administration School. He became president of the Kahler organization in 1955. Roy's activities have included the presidencies of the Inter American Hotal Association, the American Hotel and Motel Association, and the Cornell Society of Hotelmen. (Will that become Hotelers or Hotelpersons?) Besides Goode and Watson, what other hotel/motel executives do we have in the class? May we hear from you?
