1953

It takes a lot more than a monsoon to keep a mini-reunion from being a huge success. The Big Green was awesome in beating Princeton. Let's hope that was an omen for the season. After the game, Fred and Mollie Carleton had a wonderful cocktail party in their contemporary home out East Wheelock Street in Etna. Among those there were Bill and Barbara Chamberlain, Russ and Margory Cook, and Dick Dunham. Jean and Ben Dew were there from San Fran- cisco by way of Cambridge, where Ben was attending a medical conference at Harvard. Brad Edgerton came from Everett, Wash., on his first trip to Hanover since 1954. Boyer Chrisman and family came all the way from Hawaii. The Midwest was well represented with Butch Edgar, Ed Parsons, Audrey and Ted Spiegel, and Ginger and Smiley Schoder. Emil Schnell had dirven his sophomore son back to school. And then there was Dave Florence, Don and Lillian Goss, Bob and Anne Simpson, Eliot Robinson, and Kent Robinson. Dick and Jean Lena were celebrating their 25th anniversary watching their two boys, Mike and Rich, play football. Dick Greene drove up with his son for an inter- view. Peter "Honus" Wagner was there with a whole lot of family, as were Sherm and Judy Horton. Marty and Sally DeGennaro were up from New Haven. Rounding out the Hanover contingent were Paul and Marilyn Paganucci, Bill and Nancy Johnson, Put and Marion Blodgett, and Chuck and Elsa Luker. And, of course, the guy who works so hard to make these reunions happen, Don Smith. After the cocktail party, everybody adjourned a mile down the road to Pierce's Inn for a fine dinner. What a weekend!

Out in Toledo, there is an organization called City Venture Corporation that is offering its services to help get new businesses started and also to provide training and job opportunities to people in a terribly depressed urban area called Warren-Sherman. George Haigh, president of Toledo Trust Company, the city's biggest bank, is responsible for getting this program started after reading about a similar successful project.in Minneapolis. The concept is to combine federal urban development grants and local money with private investment to create jobs and foster the development of new, small businesses in depressed areas. George now spends much time sharing the success of the Toledo revitalization with other cities.

General Electric has announced that Ken Sewall has been named manager of the Pittsfield, Mass., relations operation. Ken will be responsible for area-wide employee relations, union relations, communication and community relations, plant medical services, and environmental management. He has been with G.E. ever since graduation, most recently as a corporate union relations consultant at headquarters in Fairfield, Conn.

That's it for this month. Hope to have seen you at Bill and Nancy Johnson's cocktail party after the Brown game in Hanover.
