1944
Time marches on-to coin a phrase. We are down to one '44 offspring in the incoming class of 1986 as compared to a dozen to 15 in classes in the early seventies. Our latest one is Elizabeth McClintock, daughter of Jo Etta and JimMcClintock, in Santa Barbara, Calif. Jim has been chief of nuclear medicine at the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara since 1968, and that involves radiation therapy, hemotology, and medical oncology, i.e., tumors.
Word is in on two more retirees, Gene Kinney in Chicago and Bob Gilchrist in Cleveland. Gene was senior vice president, administration and public affairs, for Zenith Radio Corporation. He was Zenith's oldest director in point of service, having been elected a vice president and member of the board of directors in 1958. He will continue as a member of Zenith's board and serve as a consultant.
Bob Gilchrist described his own situation: "I retired last December 1 from AmeriTrust Company, after 28 happy years, under an early retirement incentive plan which seemed a good idea at the time. However, I'm getting quite antsy sitting around the homestead and hope to get something going again in the legal or banking fields.
"Liz and I and two kids are off in August to visit brother Hart (Dartmouth '31), who practices law in Denver and who has a chalet up in Leadville, where the trout throw themselves into the fry pan."
None of this retirement stufffor lawyer Herb Wolff in White Plains, N. Y. "I must confess," he writes, "that I am intrigued with all these retirements in our class. My father ('10) retired from active practice when he was 85 and I'll probably do the same." Herb says his White Plains firm closed its doors last June and he is now counsel to a 12-member law firm in N.Y.C. Thus, he is busier than ever.
Last month I promised you an aisle-eye report from Der Professor Jack Jenness, the Con Edison director who teaches on the way. to work. His report: "I have been on the adjunct staff at Adelphi University, L.I:, since 1962 and have been teaching in their Ed-U-Train M.B.A. program since 1973, business policy or organizational behavior, depending upon the semester. Each class meets two days a week, plus alternate Fridays, and they run from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. while the train runs from Greenlawn to Hunters Point Avenue.
"The car is split in half, with a blackboard attached to the center wall. The instructor is supplied with a microphone to compete with the engineer's whistle. The class varies from 10 to 18 students, and I give take-home midterms and finals to keep the amount of writing on the train under control. The quality of student participation and preparation is excellent., and this is a great way to use commuting time."
A newspaper gleaning: "General Mills Inc. (Minneapolis)-Richard N. Tarlow was named to the new post of chairman of Foot-Joy Inc., a unit of this food processing concern with operations in the restaurant, apparel, luggage, toy, jewelry, and specialty retailing fields. He continues as chief executive officer of Foot- Joy."
Dartmouth, was cold-cocked by Colgate in Hanover early on, but who cared about final scores when Harriet and Hardwick Caldwell were in town to brighten the countryside and lighten our lives. Fresh from a tour through southern England (and assorted golf courses), they descended on Hanover at the height of the leaf season. We had them down at the tree farm and we reminisced about college and Navy Air Corps days and thumbed through old photo albums. Touch of New Hampshire maple syr-Up, too.
After leaving us, the Caldwells went down the road a piece to spend the night with Brattleboro dentist Eric Barradale and wife Joan, and to tour their tree farm. No maple syrup report, but I suspect Eric probably makes his own.
Also on the go this fall were Prise and Jack Hafifenreffer. Jack is president of the Massachusetts Council of Churches, and in that capacity they visited Hungary, East Germany, and Sweden to examine the Lutheran churches' response to socialism in those countries.
Almost forgot: Another welcome face in Hanover was that of Ohio otolaryngologist Dave Spencer, in town with a step-daughter for a look at Dartmouth.
And a late item: Ray Zrike sent me a photo taken at the Georgetown University commencement last June showing Ray and son David, and Bob Tompa and son Peter. David and Peter got their B.A.'s together, and Ray and Bob got together.
Sadly, two deaths to report, those of Perry Banghart and Bud Pegler. Obituaries in the back of the October issue; sympathy to their survivors in the front of all our minds.
On the happier side: the October 23 marriage of Anne Miller and Fritz Hier. Newsletter Editor Twitch Miller carried the item before I could and so he scooped me on my own wedding, for crying out loud.
That's it. Blessings.
It was an occasion worthy of smiles all round, as Frank Martell '44 (right) turned the gavel of thepresidency of the Bar Association of the District of Columbia over to Tom Jackson '58. Martellwrote that the picture was taken on June 8, but that "Tom didn't stay on this job very long.... Hewas sworn in as a district judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on July 8."
