He was past president of Bridgeport Life Underwriters, the Connecticut Estate and Tax Planning Council, and the Connecticut Life Leaders Association.

As an active communicant of the First Church of Christ, Congregational, Fairfield, he held a variety of church offices.

He was also a past president of the Dartmouth Association of Bridgeport and an assistant class agent for over 50 years. He never missed a reunion through our 50th. Hampered by illness during the last seven years of his life, his interest in and loyalty to the College never wavered.

Stan is survived by his wife Martha, by a daughter, Mrs. William A. Schaffer, and by two grandsons.

1925

MILTON KENNETH EMERSON died on October 27 in Woodbury, Conn., after a brief illness. At Dartmouth he was a member of Psi Upsilon, Occum Council, and Dragon and won freshman numerals in football and tennis and his letter in varsity football.

He left that company after 25 years to join Hellwig Dyeing Corporation for a brief period, after which he entered the real estate business in Connecticut. He became an expert in textile dyeing and traveled extensively studying the subject in various countries. He was one of 25 members of the "Colorist Club," an elite group of acknowledged leaders in the textile printing industry.

As an undergraduate, he was a member of the football squad for several years and of the Delta Upsilon fraternity. Prior to his retirement in 1968, he worked many years for the Curtiss Wright Corporation in West Caldwell, N.J. He leaves his wife Elizabeth, a son, two daughters, and eight grandchildren.

JOSEPH MULVEY CREAMER died on September 6 after a long bout with cancer. He was born in 1906 in New York City and attended the Brooklyn Technical High School before entering college. As an undergraduate he was a member of the Round Table, the Ledyard Canoe Club, and the gym squad. After graduating, he went on to the Fordham University Law School, which granted him the LL.B. degree in 1930.

Joe practiced law in Brooklyn, specializing in real estate law, for 20 years until 1950, when he moved his practice to New York City. During that period, he lived in Freeport, Long Island, and was active in the real estate market in metropolitan New York and Long Island. He served as general counsel for the Yorkville Savings and Loan Association from 1936 to 1974 and also owned the Freeport Motor Inn. In 1975 he sold his Freeport home and retired to his country home in East Moriches, N.J., where he was living at the time of his death. He loved boating, both in sail and power boats, as well as fishing and swimming, and he also enjoyed flying light airplanes.

He is survived by his wife Velta; four sons — Christopher, Jeffrey, Daniel, and Paul; two daughters — Karen and Jane; a stepson; and 11 grandchildren.

JOHN HARVEY MINNICH died on August 28 in the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover. He was 78.

"Dutch," as he was called, was born in Landisville, Pa., and prepared for college at the Pennsylvania Military School. All of his life he loved the out-of-doors and in college he followed up this love as a member of the Outing Club, Bait and Bullet, and the rifle team. He managed the latter his junior year and captained it as a senior. He was also a member of the Theta Chi fraternity. After Dartmouth, he continued his education at the Thayer School, from which he received his civil engineering degree in 1929.

He began a busy and successful career as an engineer by working first for a few years with the New Hampshire Highway Department, then for several well-known engineering firms in Concord, N.H., and Boston. In 1942 he was appointed assistant professor of engineering at Thayer School and was made professor in 1945. He held that position until 1952, when he retired so that he could devote his entire energies to consulting. His specialty was building construction, and he was widely known as a sound and innovative engineer. He was a consultant for such well known firms as Anderson and Nichols and Stone and Webster of Boston and A. T. Granger Associates of Hanover. At Dartmouth he is particularly remembered for the successful construction of the new Ledyard Bridge, Leverone Field House, Thompson Arena, and, only recently, the Rockefeller Center for the Social Sciences. He was a member of the Dartmouth Society of Engineers and the American Society of Engineers.

He continued his enthusiasm for the outof-doors throughout his life. He and his wife shared many years of travel and fishing together, hunting big game with both rifle and camera in this country, Canada, and Africa.

1928

Dartmouth lost a dedicated alumnus with the passing of ALLEN LATHROP on May 24. He died at the Scottsdale, Ariz., Memorial Hospital after being there only a week.

Al was born on Nantucket Island, Mass., in 1906, was graduated from the Montclair, N.J., High School, and at Dartmouth was a member of the freshman cross-country team and Alpha Chi Rho. He roomed for four years at Dartmouth with Bill Williams and they were fraternity brothers.

The first 25 years after graduation his career was mostly in aviation. From 1930 to 1931 he was with Curtiss Wright Airplane Company in St. Louis until the factory practically closed down, and he then worked for a year for the art department of Dartmouth as curator of the Carpenter Hall exhibition galleries. He also sat in on some management courses in Tuck School before returning to Curtiss Wright, where he became materials manager. He left in 1945 to become purchasing agent for Slick Airways, and from 1948 to 1951 he was factory manger for Hiller Helicopters.

He then bought a 50-year-old manufacturers agent firm in the buildings specialties field — Rolph, Mills and Company of San Francisco — and liquidated it only recently.

Al served as president of the St. Louis Dartmouth Alumni Association from 1940 to 1943, as president of the Northern California-Nevada Alumni Association in 1960-61, and as an assistant class agent for many years.

He married Dorothy Lynch in 1940; she died in 1982. He and Dotty Russell, widow of Herbert Russell '28, were married May 7, 1983, in Scottsdale, with '28ers from all parts of the country: Bill Williams, Wes Patience, Jerry Sass, Tavey Taylor, and Ellie Jones. Al and Dotty attended the 55th reunion, then spent six weeks at the Lathrop home in Nantucket before returning to Scottsdale. Besides his wife, he is survived by two brothers Churchill, Dartmouth professor of art emeritus, who lives in Hanover, and John; and a sister, Elizabeth Bethell.

1931

On October 19, the class lost CHARLES AUGUSTUS BRIGGS II, who died at his retirement home in Chatham, Mass., on Cape Cod.

Chuck had a highly successful career as a financial counselor and banker. His first employer, in 1931, was the Guaranty Company of New York, an affiliate of the Guaranty Trust Company. Then for six years, from 1931 to 1938, he was a vice president and director of Fiduciary Counsel Inc. in New York. He spent the next decade with affiliates of that organization, being involved primarily in importing and exporting financing activities. He then became vice president and senior trust officer of the County Trust Company (later the Bank of New York) in White Plains, N.Y., a position he held until his retirement.

He was graduated from the Rutgers University Graduate School of Banking in 1954. He was a director of the American Water Works Company, the Northeastern Water Company, and the Port Chester Water Company.

His outside interests were many. He was a former governor and interviewing chairman for the Dartmouth Club of Westchester, a member of the Dartmouth Club of Cape Cod, and a life member of the Navy League. He had served as a member of Chatham's finance committee, personnel board, and conservation society.

A memorial service was held on October 21 at St. Christopher's Church, Chatham, in which Chuck had been a very active member. Several Dartmouth friends from the Cape Cod Club attended, but 1931 was not represented.

Chuck's survivors include his wife Mary, three daughters, and five grandchildren. One of his sons-in-law, Samuel H. Edson '58, and his brother-in-law, William C. Clay Jr. '37, attended Dartmouth. Our deep sympathy is expresed to all.

WARD EVERETT THOMPSON died suddenly on September 6 in Manchester, N.H., where he had lived throughout his life. He was 74.

"Tom," as he was known during our college days, spent his entire business career with the Dunbar Fuel Company, a major oil dealer in the Manchester area. After holding several other positions with the company, including general manager, he was president and treasurer at the time of his de.ath. His business associations included a number of oil dealers' associations in New England and at one time he was president of the Better Home Heat Council of New Hampshire. He was frequently a speaker on trade subjects.

He was a past president of the Dartmouth Club of Manchester, the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and the local Kiwanis Club. He was also a Mason. He was one of the incorporators of the Merchants Savings Bank, Manchester. During World War II, he served as a lieutenant in the Navy.

In college, Tom pitched for the varsity baseball team.

His survivors are his wife Rosamond, a son, a daugher, and two grandchildren. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them.

1936

DEAN ROBERT GIDNEY, president of the Potash Company of America, died suddenly of cancer in the St. Vincent's Hospital, New York City, on August 15. Dean was also senior vice president and director of Ideal Basic Industries Inc. of Denver, parent company of American Potash. In addition, he was a director of the Potash and Phosphate Institute in Washington and the Canadian Fertilizer Institute.

"Dink" entered Dartmouth from the Ridgewood, N.J., High School. He majored in economics, was a member of Delta Tau Delta, Palaeopitus, and Green Key, and was secretary of the Interfraternity Council. In sports he was captain of varsity soccer. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa and was awarded the Barrett Cup in recognition of his exceptional undergraduate record. Except for a short term with the U.S. Trust Company in New York City, his entire business life was spent successfully in the field of potash and fertilizers. As a result of extensive business dealings with the Japanese, he taught himself their language and became proficient in both writing and speaking Japanese.

In 19.41, Dink went on active duty as an ensign in the USNR, with which he served in the North and South Atlantic and for two years in England with the landing craft staff, preparatory to and following the invasion of France. He went on inactive duty in January 1946 as a lieutenant commander.

For Dartmouth and the class of 1936, Dean served as reunion giving chairman and several times on the executive committee. In 1941 he married Olive Milgrandt, who was able to accompany him on many of his overseas travels. Much of their spare time, was spent at their summer home in Bridgehampton, Long Island, enoying golf, tennis, and reading.

Besides his wife, Dean is survived by two brothers Dr. James Gidney '36 of Kent, Ohio, and John D. Gidney '41 of Reno, Nev.

1939

Word has just been received that JACK GOLDMAN died on April 5 after a heart attack while vacationing in Michigan with his wife. Jack came to Hanover from University High School in Chicago, where he participated for four years on the swimming team. He was a member of the freshmen and varsity teams during his years at Dartmouth, and he attended Tuck School. The class 25th yearbook lists Jack as manager of Lemmington Inc., a millinery factory. At the age of 47 he changed careers and went to work for the New York Life Insurance Company, where he rose to the top of his field, becoming a life member of the Million-Dollar Roundtable, a recipient of the Diamond Award for the National Association of Health Underwriters, and an officer of the New York Life Insurance Company agents advisory council. He had just finished a course to become a financial advisor.

Jack was vice president of Temple Jeremiah in Northfield, Ill., a friend of Congregation Bene Shalom for the Deaf, and secretary of the Evanston Rotary Club.

Jack gave meaning to the word "gentleman." He was truly a gentle man, dedicated to his family, his friends, and his clients. He will be remembered for his sense of humor and his ability to always see the good in everyone and everything.

He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Lorraine, by two sons, Louis and John, and by his daughters, Sally and Barbara (Grundl).

1941

PAUL FRANCIS MAHONEY died of a heart attack on April 22 at his home in Pearl River, N.Y. Paul had suffered a similar attack in 1961 but had recovered completely. His death came suddenly in the midst of planning for retirement in June and a move to a newlypurchased home in Yarmouthport, Mass. At Dartmouth, Paul was a member of Delta

Kappa Epsilon, played freshman football, and was on the freshman and varsity track teams. He entered the Army in the spring of our senior year, first in the infantry and then the Air Force, with which he served in North Africa and rose to the rank of captain.

In 1947, he joined the Nashua Corporation of Nashua, N.H., paper converters, as their sales representative for New England and later for upstate New York and the West Coast. In 1958, he took over the metropolitan New York territory, the post he held until he retired from Nashua in 1980. For the past three years he had been vice president, sales, for the Harry Elish Paper Company of New York

City, a Nashua customer. Paul was a member of the Paper Club of New York and other industry and professional organizations. In the late fifties he was an officer of the Nashua Dartmouth Club.

He leaves his wife Margaret, now of Yarmouthport, a daughter, and a son, Paul R. Mahoney, Dartmouth '65.

1942

We belatedly report the death of CARSON FLEMING on April 4. Following Dartmouth, Carson became an aviation cadet in the Army Air Force in July 1942, was commissioned in February 1943, served in the European theater as a four-engine pilot, and was a POW in Germany from October 1943 to May 1945. He was released in May 1946 and changed careers to become proprietor of the Flying V Ranch in Buffalo, Wyo. There appears to be no information regarding his activities during the years since.

The very full life of DEXTER RICHARDS came to an untimely end on August 26, when he lost his long fight with leukemia.

Dex came to Hanover from Montclair, N.J., via Phillips Academy, and he immediately began to make his presence felt on this campus. He majored in history but spent the majority of his time winning a varsity "D" in lacrosse, as a member of the swimming team and the Hell Divers Ski Club, as ad manager of the Jack-o-Lantern, and as a member of Psi U and Dragon. A very short Navy career was ended by the surfacing of an old ski injury, so Dex joined Pan Am in Miami, where he also served as secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Miami. From 1945 to 1948 he wandered through India for Union Carbide, and in 1948 he changed climates to purchase, refurbish, and operate Dexter's Lodge in Sunapee, N.H. About 1957 he embarked on his ultimate career, which entailed starting several companies and serving as president of most of them. All through his lifetime he was an avid sailor and was continental vice president of the International Star Class Racing Association as well as commodore of the Lake Sunapee Yacht Club. He had great experience as a world-class racer and was in a race on Lake Sunapee the week before he died.

Dex served as reunion chairman for our memorable 25th, and it was through his ef- forts that high standards were set for the chairmen who followed.

The class was well represented at his memorial service, but I think it's safe to say that the entire class extends sympathy to his wife Annie and son Randy.

We have been advised of the death of EU- GENE BRAY THOMAS JR. in Cape Neddick, Maine, on October 23, 1981. Although Gene entered Dartmouth with the class of '42, he in fact graduated from Wesleyan University and there is virtually no information on him.

1943

LARNED ALLEN WATERMAN died of cancer on October 9 at St. Luke's Hospital in Davenport, lowa. He was 62.

"Larney" retired in June as senior partner in the family law firm of Lane and Waterman, with which he had been associated for 36 years.

Throughout that period, he was active in business, community, and Dartmouth affairs. He was a director of Northwestern Bell Telephone, Davenport Bank and Trust Company, the Rock Island and North Western Railway Company, the Illowa Health Planning Council, and the Rotary Club of Davenport.

Larney also was a trustee of Augustana College in Rock Island, of St. Luke's Hospital, of St. Katherine's School in nearby Bettendorf, of the lowa Law School Foundation, and of the Murray Foundation of the Univer- sity of lowa.

He served as the 1943 class agent for more than 20 years. His father, two brothers, two nieces, two nephews, and a cousin all were Dartmouth graduates.

Larney was graduated from Dartmouth magna cum laude in 1942 under the war-time accelerated program. During World War II he was a pilot instructor in B-17 bomber aircraft. He was graduated from the University of lowa Law School in 1947. He was an editor of the law review and a recipient of the prestigious Order of the Coif.

At Dartmouth, he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Kappa Sigma fraternities. He was a member of the freshman golf team. His undergraduate majors were English and philosophy.

He leaves his wife of 40 years, Mary (Hubbell) Waterman; five children, Mary Lundy, Ann Berglund, Lynn Blum, Leslie Banks, and Larned A. Jr.; two brothers, Charles D. Jr. '45 and Robert Van P. '50; and nine grandchildren.

1944

CHARLES RICHARD KEADY of Melrose, Mass., died on February 27 of a massive coronary. He was a teacher of history and Latin at Wil- mington, Mass., High School from 1955 until the time of his death.

Dick came to Dartmouth from Melrose and won his numerals in freshman baseball. He was in the Army from 1942 to 1946; he served in Europe and was discharged with the rank of lieutenant.

He finished at Dartmouth after the war and was a high school teacher and coach in Athol, Mass., Dublin, N.H., and Wilmington. Dick described himself as the "hearthside type," and reading was both a vocation and an avocation for him and his wife Pat. The Keadys spent summers at Gloucester over the years, but that was about as far away from home as they got.

Dick is survived by Pat, four daughters, and eight grandchildren.

1948

With sadness, we report the passing on January 28, 1982, of JOHN SCOTT ANDERSON JR. John and his wife Patricia were residents of Gilroy, Calif., where John was director of the laboratory at the Gilroy Hospital, a position in which he continued to exercise his life-long interest in the field of medicine.

That interest was well exemplified by his distinguished service with the U.S. Navy in the Pacific theater in World War II when he worked his way up from pharmacist's mate, second class, through a series of field promotions to his commissioning as warrant officer, this over the period from May 1942 to October 1945. During this time he was at the center of action in such notorious military hot spots of General Mac Arthur's island-hopping campaign as Tulagi, New Georgia, Bougainville, Espiritu Santo, Milne Bay, Hollandia, and Samar. He received three Bronze Stars for wounds at Munda, at Bougainville, and at Leyte Gulf. His extended service was also marked by four campaign ribbons.

Before joining the Navy, John grew up in the town of Mountain Lakes, N.J., where he attended Union High School. He matriculated at Dartmouth in the fall of 1945, when he received his well-earned honorable discharge on October 28. He had many friends in Hanover, was an active member of Alpha Kappa Kappa, was a member of Alpha Phi Delta, and continued his active participation in the medical laboratory field after his departure from Hanover until his untimely death.

John's classmates offer their condolences to Patricia and to his other relatives and friends on the passing of this good citizen who did his duty that the rest of us might better enjoy this earth.

1950

Even in the toughest games he stood out calm and resolute, gathering strength for the next play. He inspired teammates with a quiet word and led by example.

He played out his last months after a brain tumor was removed in the same way, "neither complaining nor giving up the fight," until death intruded on August 11. The vision of HERBERT WARREN CAREY as a tower of strength lingers on.

Herb attended Kimball Union Academy after graduation from Marblehead High School. He then spent 30 months in the Army with an anti-aircraft battalion in the European theater. His outfit participated in the crossing of the Rhine.

A three-letter athlete, Herb was best known for his football exploits. As a fullback he was an effective blocker, runner, and scorer; he also kicked extra points. On defense he was one of the best linebackers in the East. He was unanimously selected to all-East defensive units. In 1949 he led the Dartmouth team as captain and played in the annual East-West Shrine game in San Francisco. Herb also played defense on the lacrosse team. He majored in history, was elected to Sphinx, and was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon.

After graduation Herb worked as a salesman in northern New England for H. P. Hood and Sons. But he yearned for Marblehead and returned there in 1961 after taking a job as a teacher, coach, and director of admissions at Thompson Academy, a private school for underprivileged boys in Boston. In 1971 he became a probation officer in the Salem District Court, a job that he found "the most challenging and rewarding work I have ever done."

In 1947 Herb married Christine Hagan; they had two children, Arthur and Susan.

Football continued as a part of Herb's life. He was a member of the Gridiron Club of Boston and a high school football official in the northeast region. We remember Herb as a fierce defender, but as a gentle man.

STEVE POSNIAK '66

1972

It is with deep sadness and loss that we report the death, on August 14, of our classmate and friend ROBERT WILEY FORMAN. Bob died of inoperable brain cancer that was diagnosed less than a year ago. He leaves his wife Cheryl and two daughters, Kiely and Tarron.

Bob grew up and attended high school in Columbus, Ohio. At Dartmouth, Bob was a freshman basketball player and a member of Kappa Sigma and the Dragon senior society. During his junior year he taught high school, coached basketball, and served as a resident tutor in the ABC Program at Woodstock, Vt. After graduating magna cum la.ude, with distinction in economics, Bob went on to earn an M.B.A. from the Tuck School in 1975.

Bob began his professional career as an accountant with the Boston office of the Arthur Andersen Company. He became a certified public accountant in 1977. Shortly thereafter, Bob accepted a position with the Eastern Gas and Fuel Company. He had been working for that firm's Denver subsidiary, the Western Associated Development Corporation, for three years at the time of his death.

Bob radiated an infectious, easy-going warmth that drew people to him from every walk of life and wherever he traveled. His death, at 32, and at a time when Bob had found great happiness, both personally and professionally, leaves an emptiness beyond words.

The class of 1972 extends its most sincere sympathy to Bob's family and to his many friends.
