Faculty

JOSEPH BUTLER FOLGER JR. '2l, for 38 years a member of the Romance Languages Department at Dartmouth, died January 24 at his retirement home on Nantucket Island, Mass. He was 82 years old and had been in failing health for some time.

Born in Los Angeles in 1898, Joe prepared for college at Phillips Exeter Academy. At Dartmouth, he was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity and Phi Beta Kappa. After graduation, he stayed in Hanover for a year as an instructor in French and Spanish and then went on to earn his M.A. at Harvard. He taught briefly at Boston University and the Huntington School in Boston and spent two years in business before returning to the Dartmouth faculty in 1928 as an instructor in Romance languages. He was promoted to assistant professor of Spanish in 1931 and to full professor in 1940.

He served in the U.S. Navy in 1918-19, and during World War 11, when Dartmouth was in the V-12 Naval Training Program, he taught physics instead of Spanish.

Joe was married in 1924 to Marion Allen. They had two sons, E. Allen '51 and David W. '53, and a number of grandchildren, including Peter F. '82. Joe had always been active in Dartmouth affairs and just a few months before his death had undertaken the job of class secretary of 1921.

Upon his retirement in 1965, the Folgers moved to Nantucket, his ancestral home. The name Folger has long been prominent there; many of his forebears were famous whaling captains, and other branches of the family gave the name to Folger's coffee and the Folger Shakespeare Museum in Washington, D.C.

Joe is survived by Marion and their sons, to whom the class extends its sympathy.

HERBERT WELLS HILL, for 39 years a member of the College's history department, died of pneumonia on January 11 at Hanover Terrace Healthcare. He was 78.

Born in Andover, Mass., he was educated at Phillips Academy and Harvard, from which he received a B.A. in 1924 and an M.A. in 1926. He specialized in the history of New England and of U.S. foreign relations.

He joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1928 as an instructor, after teaching at the Hampton Institute in Virginia. He was promoted to assistant professor in 1935 and to full professor in 1941. From 1936 to 1964, he was director of Dartmouth's Hanover Holiday program, the forerunner of today's Alumni College. He was also a member of several professional and service organizations. He retired in 1967.

Interested in current as well as historical events, Hill was active in national, state, and local politics. He chaired the New Hampshire Committee for the Hoover Report, served in the State Department as an adviser on European affairs, and was a member of the U.S. Commission for UNESCO.

In New Hampshire, he twice ran for public office, once losing the governorship by a narrow margin to Sherman Adams '2O. He chaired county and state Democratic committees and served on many state commissions, including the Fish and Game Commission and two constitutional conventions. Locally, Hill was associate justice of the Hanover District Court, and for more than 20 years he moderated town and school district meetings.

Hill was married in 1924 to Theodora Hill; they had one son, Josiah F. '56, and were divorced in 1932. He then married Leland Barbee in 1933, and they had two children and seven grandchildren.

1908

PORTER WEBER LOWE was born February 25, 1887, at Fitchburg, Mass., and died at La Jolla, Calif., November 17, 1980. He prepared for Dartmouth at the Fitchburg, Mass., high school and entered in 1904 with the class of 1908.

At Dartmouth he joined Sigma Chi and the freshman track team and was an assistant Aegis editor. After graduation, he became associated with the firm of Lowe Brothers, produce merchants, and later joined Victor Comptometer of Waltham, Mass., where he served in various executive positions until he retired in 1964 after 37 years of service.

Porter was married on February 15-, 1912, to Hazel M. Amazeen, and they were the parents of two children, Branton and Constance. They also had two grandchildren.

Porter was a Mason and a Shriner. It was characteristic of him that he donated to the Alumni Fund for practically every year since the Fund was started.

1909

JAMBS HITCHCOCK, one of the most popular members of the class, died on December 14, 1980, at the Shalom Nursing Home in Mt. Vernon, N.Y. He was 93.

After graduating from Dartmouth, where he was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity, Jim went on to earn his M.D. at Harvard Medical School. He conducted a practice in Boston for many years, working chiefly as a consultant in cardiovascular diseases. He had been on the staffs of several Massachusetts hospitals, including Massachusetts General.

Jim had a pungent wit and a ready pen that enlivened many a class notes column and newsletter. On one alumni form, in the space for "additional comments," he wrote about his life: "Seems rather dull, doesn't it? But it hasn't seemed so to me."

Jim was married in 1926 to Marion Reed, who died in 1976. They had lived for many years in Mason and Greenville, N.H., but after her death Jim moved to Rye, N.Y., to live with friends-. Then, about a year ago, he entered a nursing home: "The old wreck is joining the others because of wobbly wheels and fading light," he wrote a classmate, "but the motor still runs smoothly."

Among Jim's other literary efforts were song lyrics (including some written especially for the Dartmouth Glee Club), doggerel verse, poems, and thoughtful essays on the human condition. He published a selection of his lifetime writings in a small volume entitled Mixed Midnight Musings, dedicated to his beloved wife two years after her death.

Jim's wit and wisdom will be much missed by the class, and certainly by many others as well. He is survived by one daughter, to whom we extend our deep sympathy.

He was a member of Theta Delta Chi fraternity, was our class treasurer for two years, and was manager of the gym team, where he starred for four years. But he is best recalled for his four years of football (in his senior year he was varsity quarterback and captain) and his modesty and friendship.

On leaving service he returned to Dartmouth and graduated in 1921 from Amos Tuck School of Business Administration.

Jim always found time, too, to serve the College he so dearly loved. Jim served as vice president of the class of 1920, as an overseer of the Tuck 5ch001(196668), and as a member of the executive committee of the Dartmouth Medical School Campaign (1960). His contributions to the Medical School were both substantial and imaginative. He and Ruth were responsible for the construction of its Chilcott Auditorium and Chilcott Laboratory.

Dean James C. Strickler '50 of the Dartmouth Medical School noted in speaking of Jim that the Medical School and the College had lost a strong friend and ally with the death of Jim Chilcott.

A memorial fund is being established for Jim at the Dartmouth Medical School.

LAWRENCE W. CLARKSON died January 20 in Ursalia, Calif., from a "sudden illness," leaving his wife, Ruth Tyler Clarkson. There were no children.

Larry had had a long career in teaching. After Dartmouth he started at the Longmeadow School in Longmeadow, Mass., then moved to the Urban Academy in Los Angeles, Calif., and finally to the Black Foxe Military Academy, also in Los Angeles, from which he retired.1

He belonged to two professional societies: Psi Chi, a psychology group, and Phi Delta Kappa, an education organization.

At Dartmouth he was a member of the football squad but did not win the coveted "D." Two brothers, James and Allen, both younger than Larry, attended Dartmouth. Both men are now deceased.

Not much is known about Larry's post-Dartmouth participation. He is known to have attended the Dartmouth-Stanford football game in Palo Alto in the twenties, and he participated sporadically in other Dartmouth affairs thereafter.

His teaching duties kept him very busy. Despite this, he attended the University of Southern California as a post-graduate and was awarded his M.A. degree there in 1939.

He was thrice married in 1930, to Jane Siemans, a graduate of Washington State who predeceased him in 1962, in 1966 to Marian Henry, a graduate of Boston University who passed on in 1968, and finally in 1972 to Ruth B. Tyler. The couple lived at 702 East Elk Avenue in Glendale, Calif., when Larry passed on at the age of 84. To Ruth the class of 1920 extends heartfelt sympathy for the loss she has sustained.

PAUL DUCKWORTH KAY departed from our world after a considerable period of illness. His death occurred on November 6, 1980. He and his wife lived in Norwalk, Conn.

As a young man he lived in Framingham, Mass. From there he went to Dartmouth College, entering in 1916. At Dartmouth he was a good student, well known, and active on campus. He was manager of the Dartmouth Players, sang in the Glee Club, played on the golf team, and was active in the Arts. He also belonged to Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity (currently Phi Tau). He majored in economics and attended Tuck School in the class of 1921.

During World War I he entered an officer's training program at Plattsburg, N.Y., after which he was ordered to Camp Taylor in Kentucky and was commissioned as a second lieutenant. Following decommission he returned to Dartmouth for his degree.

Subsequently he spent a short period in business operating a garage with a college friend on Columbus Avenue in Boston. Later he gave this up to follow his father's calling a career with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.

Following several promotions and moves he finally settled down in Westchester County, N.Y., where he bought a home and raised a family. To his widow, his two daughters, Jane and Priscilla, and their families, the Class of 1920 extends great sympathy for the loss they have sustained.

Paul was a great credit to his profession. He used his talents well. He became a chartered life underwriter, wrote extensively in his field, and was a community leader and a willing volunteer when there was a need.

CHARLES FRASHR MCGOUGHRAN, president of the class of 1920, left a huge void in our world when he passed away on November 16, 1980. He died in the Winsted, Conn., Hospital, where he had been taken from his summer home in Norfolk, Conn.

Charlie spent his entire business career with Sinclair Oil Company. He rose steadily through the ranks in both production and sales, retiring in 1962 as corporate secretary and director of personnel. He wrote continuously and interestingly about .the field which was so great a part of his life and work. The discovery of oil in Drakesville, Pa., and the helpful work of Dr. Dixi Crosby of Dartmouth College in putting oil to use are well-known in the history of this great industry, so that it might be said, "It all began at Dartmouth."

While oil was his vocation, Dartmouth was his secret love affair and it never waned from 1916 to 1980.

In college he was an economics major and very active on campus, captain of the cross-country team and member of track, member of Phi Gamma Delta social fraternity and of Sphinx honorary senior society.

As an alumnus Charlie served on the board of governors of the Dartmouth Club of New York for several years and was an overseer of the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration. He served his class as secretary from 1957 to. 1964 and was class president from 1964 till his death. He also was for two years president of the Alumni Council, which bestowed upon him its highest honor the Alumni Cup in recognition of outstanding service to the College.

Many family members mourn his passing and we extend to them heartfelt condolences, especially to his widow Fran, who resides at Bauhinia Road, Delray Beach, Fla. Other family members include a brother, a sister, and two stepsons.

1921

DAVID CUMMINGS BOWEN, 83, of Lucia Lane in Rockport, Mass., died unexpectedly at his home on January 10. Born in Somerville, he graduated from the local high school in 1916 and from Huntington Preparatory School in 1917.

After graduation from Dartmouth, Dave began his life work in education as a teacher in the Princeton, Mass., school system, advancing to the position of principal there and later serving as superintendent there and elsewhere. His active career ended after ten years of service as superintendent of the Rockport School System. He received his Master's Degree in Education from Harvard in 1934.

Loyalty to his friends and to the organizations with which he had been associated was a hallmark of Dave's character. He served well his College and his class, serving often as class agent and also as executive committee member and treasurer, and he remained a member of the Dartmouth Club of Boston and that of the North Shore. He ably served his community and was a charter member of the Rockport Rotary Club. He faithfully served his country and was a Navy Veteran of World War I, later a member of the American Legion. And he was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, a longtime member of the Masonic Order and of the Tyrian Lodge, which held a service in his memory on January 12.

Dave's funeral services were held in Gloucester at St. John's Episcopal Church, of which he was a communicant. The impressive Episcopal service, simple but beautiful, was conducted in the presence of the family, including his wife Edith, his two daughters, and many friends and associates. Before the formal service, the rector, Rev. William Turner, eloquently paid tribute to Dave as husband, father, and citizen of his community, extolling those qualities that those of us who knew him regarded so highly. Your scribe was best man at his wedding 56 years ago.

JOHN HUBBELL FITZGIBBON died of lung cancer at his home in Westport, Conn., on October 8, 1980. The delay in the appearance of this obituary for one of 1921 's most popular and respected members was caused by the misfortunes that have befallen the class in our 60th reunion year. This year the class has lost two great secretaries, Charlie Gilson and Joe Folger.

Fitz was born on April 9, 1900, in Bridgeport, Conn., and resolved to spend the rest of his life in the city made famous by George M. Cohan's musical hit, "90 Minutes from Broadway."

Starting in the lumber business, Fitz soon joined forces with the DuPont Company as a recognized expert in industrial accounting. He was active in community affairs, and he always retained a deep interest in the College and the Class, traveling to New York to attend the class dinners at the old Dartmouth Club on 39th Street.

In 1928 Fitz was married to Margaret Emily Mills, who survives him, along with their son John Jr. '62. Margaret, a graduate of Danbury State College, will continue to live in Westport at 26 Sherwood Drive. She and Fitz had been planning to return to our 60th reunion next June, and they will be sorely missed by their host of friends in 1921.

KING EARLH FAUVBR, 79, distinguished attorney and business counselor, died November 16, 1980, at his home at 628 Washington Avenue, Elyria, Ohio. He had gone through an illness of 16 years, during which his wife, Annie, had devotedly attended him.

King came to Dartmouth from Elyria High School. He was a highly-admired classmate, widely recognized for his integrity and his brilliant mind. He majored in political science and won a Phi Beta Kappa key. He was a volunteer in precocious Company I of the Student.Army Training Corps. He and Sterry Waterman were roommates for two years and both were brothers in Zeta Psi.

After receiving his Harvard law degree in 1925, King returned to Elyria and entered his father's law practice, which soon became the firm of Fauver and Fauver. In later years King was a member of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, a director of the First National Bank of Elyria, an overseer of Harvard Law School, and general counsel for Oberlin College. Esteemed for his expertise in corporate law and for his prudent business advice, he was an officer and director in ten manufacturing corporations.

But surpassing his professional dedication, King's primary fidelity was to his family, followed by a manifest affection for Dartmouth. He and Annie Lee Scribner, a Goucher College graduate, were married fifty-three years ago. They were the parents of three sons and a daughter, and there are eight grandchildren. All three sons are Dartmouth graduates: John K. '50, Scribner L. '53, Benjamin L. '6l; daughter Mary is Smith '55. And among the grandchildren, Betsy Fauver is Dartmouth '77, her brother John '79, and their cousin Scribner is '82.

Dartmouth and the class of 1922 joins the entire Fauver family in profound bereavement.

He started with Steiger and Company, Holyoke, Mass., and soon became manager of the company's store in Hartford, Conn. He next held executive positions with Sears, Roebuck in Chicago and Jordan Marsh in Boston. Subsequently, he was operating head of Joske Stores, San Antonio, and of Franklin Simon Company, New York; general manager of the Steiger chain, Hartford; president of O'Neill and Company, Baltimore; president of G.

FREDERICK ALEC FISHER died suddenly on August 9, 1980. Born on March 17, 1903, he was one of the youngest of our classmates.

A native of Boston, Mass., Fred came to Dartmouth from the Hartford, Conn., high school. A 1926 graduate of Harvard Law School, he began his career that year with Dunbar, Nutte & McClennan of Boston. This was followed by studies at Georgetown School of Foreign Service, several years with the Department of State in Washington, and partnership in the Portland, Ore., law firm of Laing, Gray & Smith.

With the advent of World War 11, Fred, in his own words, "decided that theories worth holding were worth fighting for." He rejected a commission, enlisted as a private on October 12, 1942, landed on Omaha Beach on D-day plus 4, saw action in the St. Lo breakthrough, the Battle of the Bulge, and several other engagements. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Oak Leaf Clusters and mustered out of the service on June 30 to return to his Portland law firm.

Perhaps the most vivid report I have read of World War II experiences is contained in a letter from Fred to Irish Flanigan, written in a Normandy foxhole and dated July 23, 1944. In these days of uncertain principles it is particularly inspiring.

In his later years Fred lived quietly in Westford, Mass., serving the town as clerk of the board of selectmen and town accountant. He is survived by his wife Betty, whom he married in 1938.

THOMAS GEORGE HERBERT died on July 3, 1980., He was 78 years old.

In spite of his short time with our class, he had a high regard for the College and kept in touch with several classmates.

Tom's entire business career was in the field of life insurance. In 1943 he was commissioned in the Naval Air Force and was discharged in 1945 as a lieutenant commander. His survivors include his wife, the former Gwen Cheney, and one daughter.

After two years at Dartmouth Medical School and graduation from University of Pennsylvania Medical School in 1928 Jim served two years as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps. In 1930 he began the practice of surgery in his native Johnstown. This was interrupted by World War II service in the Army Air Force medical-surgical section from which he was discharged as a lieutenant-colonel to resume his practice in Johnstown. He wore the Purple Heart, World War I victory medal with four stars, and the Army of Occupation medal.

Jim was chief of surgery at Johnstown Memorial Hospital, a Fellow of American and International College of Surgeons, and a member of several medical societies.

After his graduation from college, Howie made two round trips to the Orient with a Dartmouth friend on the Dollar Line President Taft. Then, deciding to settle down in his hometown of Pelham Manor, he became interested in a stage equipment firm and shortly found himself involved in affairs of the theater, which included productions at the Radio City Music Hall, Center Theater, and others. In the early 19405, with the advent of war in Europe, he forsook the gaiety and tinsel of the stage and became interested in hangar doors. He became manager of erection for Byrne Doors, Inc., in Detroit, Mich., makers of hangar doors, industrial doors, and special mechanisms, and for several years he traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and Alaska, literally living Out of a suitcase while his crews of iron and steel workers were raising and hanging larger and larger doors in Army and Navy installations. Some of the doors on aircraft hangars were as high as 120 feet and weighed up to 60 tons.

Always on the lookout for new fields to conquer, Howie decided in 1947 to try the plastics industry, and as a manufacturer's agent he promoted what was then a new process of molding plastic of two or more different colors into one piece. This endeavor was short-lived, however, and he returned to work once again for Byrne Doors, where he remained until his retirement in 1968.

He is survived by his wife Kathleen (McCleer) and two sons, Thomas E. and Donald H.

He had a varied and eventful life. The first few years after college were spent in New York City with the firm of Newman Brothers and Worms, but his love was always with the military, in which he served for over 20 years from 1941 to 1961. During the Phillipine campaign on Leyte, he was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action after he charged an enemy machine gun singlehanded and silenced it. He also won a purple heart, the Legion of Merit Award, a Commendation Medal, and the Croix de Guerre.

Ed came to Dartmouth from Phillips Academy, Andover. He served three years in the Army during World War II and then attended the University of Virginia Law School. He had a private law practice from 1949 to 1954, when he took over his father's electrical wholesale business. In 1963 he moved from Charleston, W. Va., to Lewisburg, where he resumed law practice and operated a 300-acre dairy and hog farm. He also served four terms in the West Virginia legislature.

Ed served as president of the Dartmouth Club of West Virginia from 1960 on ("We don't have many meetings," he'd say with a twinkle), and he was a director of the Lewisburg Rotary Club and a member of the Elks Club. He was an amateur radio buff and a member of the Greenbrier Valley Amateur Radio Association.

His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all Dartmouth graduates. He is survived by his wife Miriam and three sons.

1950

After spending years as a professional athlete, RAYMOND M. AKANA settled into a more sedentary job. It did not suit him well, for Ray died of a heart attack in Wailuku, Maui, on July 30, 1980.

Because his father was a territorial senator, Ray had an insider's look at Hawaii's progress to statehood. He came to Dartmouth from the Punahou School in Honolulu.

Ray played freshman football. As defensive end he would laugh as blockers bounced off him. But he could never take the game seriously enough. His real love was golf, and after leaving college he joined the tour. There is no longer any mystery as to why one of his sons was named Dutch Harrison. Later he became a teaching pro in Arizona and Missouri.

The lure of the islands remained. About 1970 Ray returned to work for Kam's Express in Oahu. Two years later he joined Haleakala Storage and Transfer Company as vice president and general manager.

Ray is survived by his wife Helen and seven children all but Dutch with mellifluous Hawaiian names.

He left his home in Cleveland for a routine business trip to Toledo, and that night on September 18, 1980 DONALD S. DANIELS died suddenly of a heart attack.

Don was born and reared in Adams, Mass., where his father owned the town's principal business, a paper mill. Singing soon became an integral part of Don's life, and his solos were an important adjunct of the services at the Congregational Church.

He enlisted in the Navy in 1943 and served as a radioman for 33 months, much of the time in the Pacific Theater. Don then followed his brothers Rupert Jr. '45, Dixon '43, and R. Wellington (Spike) '36 to the Hanover plain. He joined the DKE's, and majored in philosophy and comparative literature. But he is remembered most for his role in the Glee Club and as a charter member of the Injunaires. The Glee Club elected him president in our senior year.

After graduation Don moved to Cleveland. He was associated with a chemical company and, later, the Barber Burner Company. In recent years he formed his own hotel/motel supply business. He continued his interest in music and sang with The Sleepless Knights for many years. We will miss his warm smile, his quiet and friendly style, and his resonant bass voice.

Don is survived by three children, Cynthia, Michael, and Stephen.

In Niagara Falls, N.Y., FREDERIC H. FEDERLEIN succumbed to lung cancer on November 27, 1979. He had been seriously ill for about six months.

Fred came to Dartmouth from DeVeaux Military School in Niagara Falls after a one-year hiatus in the Navy. He was a psychology major.

During the first several years after graduation, Fred was an insurance salesman. He joined the Hysen Supplies Company in 1953 and eventually, became its general manager. In 1961 Fred moved to the CramerCase division of Fluidic Industries, Inc. The division was an industrial distributor of pipe, valves, fittings, and mill supplies. Soon after, the division became the Case-Elderfield Co. and Fred became its president. In 1970 he was elected a director of Mighty Mobile Homes, Inc. Several years before his death he joined the Billing Insurance Agency.

During his senior year Fred married the former Barbara Ferguson of Buffalo. They had two sons Fred Jr. and Stephen. In 1974 Fred married Dagmar Thoneman, who survives him.

On October 15, 1978 ROBERT J. KELLEY died suddenly of a heart attack at his home in Buck Hills Falls, Pa.

Bob's approach was diffident. He often referred to himself within the context of the class as "the other Kelley.'' Now both of them are gone.

Bob left high school in East Orange to join the Navy shortly before his 18th birthday. In the course of the next 18 months he became a pharmacist's mate. He was discharged with only a month to spare before becoming a freshman at Dartmouth, where he ma- jored in English.

Immediately after leaving college, Bob organized the R. J. R. Kelley Company, a manufacturer's representative with one line of picks, mallets, and wrecking bars. It was a one-man show, and it covered a narrow range of geography. In the ensuing years, both the number of products and the range of sales grew. As president, Bob directed a number of sales representatives along the entire East Coast.

One of his favorite retreats was in Pennsylvania, and just before his death Bob was in the process of moving his headquarters closer to the vacationland he so enjoyed. The complete move to Buck Hills Falls was never completed.

Bob is survived by his wife Suzanne and three daughters, Donna, Robin, and Karen.

On April 29, 1979 ROGERS A. LARRABEE succumbed to bone cancer in Kansas City after just a short illness. Fortunately, he was spared much physical suffering.

After graduation from the Pembroke Country Day School in his lifelong home, Kansas City, Rog spent a year as an aircrewman in the Navy before entering Dartmouth. His major was English, and he was a stalwart member of the Phi Delt's.

For a short while Rog worked for radio station KMBC, where he mixed vocations by selling commercial time and writing scripts. In 1953 he became a manufacturer's representative for Nevco, Inc., and sold electronic products. The firm was ClemensonLarrabee, and he became its president in 1973. He joined Brown and Bigelow, Inc., in 1977 as a salesman.

Rog spent considerable time working for the alumni association of his prep school. He was a member of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. And he had been president of the heart of America chapter of the Electronics Representatives Association.

Rog leaves his wife Natalie, two sons, Mark and David, and a daughter, Lindsay Greimann '77. His family meant much to him; he once said that, "... my greatest regret is the amount of travel required by my work."

NEIL S. ROBERTSON passed away in Miami on June 12, 1978.

Like many of us, Neil entered the service during World War II and spent 22 months as an aviation cadet in the Army Air Corps. He was discharged in time to enter Dartmouth in March of 1946.

Neil was active at WDBS where he worked on publicity. He was a member of the French Club and Delta Upsilon. His major was history.

At the time of his death, Neil was an assistant professor at Dade Junior College in Miami. He is survived by his mother, Janet.

On August 18, 1980 WILLIAM L. SHARP JR., of Greenwich, N.Y., died in Ellis Hospital in Schenectady of internal injuries suffered during a parachutejumping accident several days earlier.

Bill was employed by Phelps Steele Company in Schenectady. A Navy veteran of World War 11, he was an active member of Liberty Post 515 of the American Legion in Greenwich. He was also a member of Greenwich Lodge 2223, B.P.0.E. An enthusiastic sky diver, he was affiliated with the Albany Sky Diving Center.

Bill is survived by his father, William L. '26, his mother, his wife Phyllis, his two sons, and his four daughters.

The storm had passed when RICHARD H. VAUGHN stepped out to view the damage. He never saw the wire; it was live. His death by accident on June 16, 1979 was indeed untimely.

We knew him, the young lad from Minneapolis and Deerfield, as Dixie. Both his father, James '05, and two brothers, James Jr. '41 and Wyman '39, had proceeded him. Later, his daughter, Carol '76, and son, Peter '78, would follow in his footsteps. While at Dartmouth he majored in English before entering Tuck to earn an M.C.S. Dixie was a Psi U and a Dragon. His schooling was completed at the Stonier Graduate School of Banking at Rutgers.

For 20 years Dick gained a wide range of experience at the Northwestern National Bank of Minneapolis. In 1971 he joined Northwest Bancorporation as its president and a director. He became the chief executive officer, only the fifth in a half century, in 1977; but he was fated to serve in that position for only two years.

At Northwest Bancorporation, Dick demonstrated a flair for organizational planning for both the short and long term. One of his strongest interests was in communicating, to the public and to investors, the principles upon which the company was founded, those that held that a nefwork of strong, strategically located banks would give the region a greater degree of financial strength and independence.

There was another side to Dick, one that showed a sensitive, compassionate person with genuine humility and concern for all. Dick transmitted this positive outlook to everyone he met.

Dick is survived by his wife Mary, another daughter, Charlotte, and another son, Angus.

1962

EUGENE O. WRIGHT II died on September 1, 1980 of cancer. Gene was a major in the Marine Corps at the time of his death. Gene came to Dartmouth from Sheridan High School, Sheridan, Wyo.

Although he did not graduate, going on to Purdue for his B. A., he kept close ties to Dartmouth and many of his friends from the College. He is survived by a son Michael, 22, a daughter Patti, 15, and his wife Maria of Oceanside, Calif.
