1943

One of the highlights of a recent trip to Paris was the opportunity to get together-for the first time since 1942-with Guy Mallett, a fellow toiler in the ranks of The Dartmouth. Guy is now with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, an outgrowth of the original Marshall Plan multi-national set-up. Guy is secretary of the council, reporting to the O.E.C.D. secretary-general, and has other high administrative duties as well. As gracious and urbane as we remembered him from Hanover, Guy was our host at O.E.C.D. headquarters at Chateau de la Muette, the only chateau within Paris

Upon his retirement ten years ago from the Foreign Service, Guy was asked to join 0.E.C.D., and he has found great satisfaction in continued service and life abroad. Son Guy Mallett III is a graduate of the University of Paris and the London School of Economics and presently works for Barclay Bank international headquarters in London.

From South Pasadena, Calif., Henry Keck was good enough to share with us his class biography, which he dutifully sent to ChurchLeonard for the 40th reunion book. (Reminder: Get your bio in now, please. We don't want any blank spaces in the volume.) Henry notes he is president of the Economic Round Table of Los Angeles and is now "managing partner of a 12-man engineering and industrial design group specializing in the development of massproduced consumer products as well as the development of machines which assemble parts or do some other task in production at high rates of speed." On a personal note: "When it comes to marriage and the family, I am an outstanding success... having never indulged in either. However, I'm really a fast man with the ladies; my present friend and I have been going together for only ten years."

Seth Washburn, of Peapack, N.J., continues with his distinguished career at Bell Laboratories as vice president. When we talked with him, Seth and wife Janet were happily anticipating the marriage of son Steven in October. Another son, Peter, was just graduated from the U. of Maine. Daughter Becky is married and lives in Ohio and daughter Kate works at the AT&T Health Center and is a long-distance runner. Son John is also with AT&T and has a son, Seth-and thereby hangs a fascinating genealogical tale. This seven-year-old Seth is the fifth successive Seth Washburn to be named for a grandfather! Our Seth recently returned from trout fishing in Maine. ("No good, doesn't seem to rain in New England in the summer any more.") However, this gave him the opportunity to visit Hanover on the way up and back.

We last saw Ralph Trovillion more than 20 years ago at a Dartmouth get-together in St. Louis. Ralph now reports he is vice president of John F. Swift Printing Company in St. Louis, having been with the firm for 32 years. His wife Virginia is assistant director of Christian Education at the Central Presbyterian Church. Their two sons are both in college-Andy at Hampton-Sydney (you remember the game with Hampton-Sydney-1940? 1941?) and Whit, a Dartmouth,freshman. Ralph occasionally sees Jim Mullins, who continues his career with Brown Shoe Company.
