1938

In the days when a bill was submitted to us from the College, it clearly stated that payment was due on the tenth of the month or one "would automatically be deprived of the privileges of the College." We were visiting a classmate who had just run across a box of papers that had been long stored. They turned out to be his Dartmouth clips, reports, and bills. There were other items, such as a telegram that read, "All my love mother dear on this day and every day room rent due Tuesday." A very thoughtful telegram on Mother's Day from Dick Francis!

Speaking of the top! Art Soule was honored by a crowd of 500 petroleum industry leaders at the Metropolitan Energy Council's dinner-dance on May 4 at the Windows on the World banquet facility in Manhattan's World Trade Center. Tickets were a mere $150 per person! Art was a founder and president of the Better Heat Council of New York, a predecessor of MEC, and has long been an active voice while serving in various industry positions. He moved from service station and refinery worker positions with Esso to the presidency of the Belcher Company, a leading industry wholesale supplier. After World War II service with the Naval Petroleum Pool, coordinating petroleum stockpiling and shipping for both the Allies and the Lend Lease Program, Art became president of the Patchoque Oil Terminal Corporation in Brooklyn, N.Y., in the mid-19505. He was named president of the Belcher Company in 1978 and was recently named its vice chairman.

Although the ski season has passed in Hanover, and it is a time for sunning and tanning, I remember standing at the foot of the "small" ski jump in my freshman year, staring at it, and wondering if maybe I should give it a try. One of those who were making the sport look easy was Dave Bradley. He leaned on his poles, made some suggestions, and said, "Try it." We did. But it was the last time. However, Dave was to go on to further heights in skiing, as captain of the ski team and as a national competitor. The election of Dave to the National Ski Hall of Fame this past winter was another honor long overdue. Congratulations, Dave.

Art Koeppel has been working as a member of the executive committee of the Dartmouth Club of the Upper Valley, which meets at the Hanover Inn. He is trying to dispel a "feeling here that Vermonters find it hopeless to get into Dartmouth." He is quite proud of the fact that when he played golf at Port Royal last November he scored 110, 108, 106 on a really great course in Bermuda.

From Bob Frese in Charlotte, N.C., comes news of classmates. John and Tex Meachem attended Professor Rassias's French class last summer, then went to France for five weeks, where they spent part of their time with a French family and part of the time with their daughter, Melissa, who lives there. On their return the Meachems stopped over with the Freses. Carl and Betty Raymond joined Bob and Dottie for dinner. Carl retired from the navy as a captain, worked as city treasurer for the city of Charlotte, N.C., for ten years, and is now a dedicated golfer and countryclubber. Carl has not been back to Hanover since he graduated from Tuck School in 1939. How about signing up for the mini-reunion, October 11-13, Carl. Watch for the registration form. Charley Main is also living in Charlotte.

Charlie Keyes is well settled on the Olympic Peninsula and has no intention of resettling in Connecticut. We miss you, Charlie, at our occasional gatherings with WhiteyMays at "Topless Oscar's." Charlie reports, "We have a little over two acres on the edge of a canyon, and we are 400 yards from the Strait of Juan de Fuca where we have private access to a very unpopulated beach. The view from the other side of the house is of the majestic Olympic mountains on which some snow is visible the year around... completed construction of a guest cottage, but the occupancy rate is way below what we would like." The latchstring is out: Charles C. Keyes, 249-G Cameron Road, Sequim, WA 98382. Morgan Marshall and Charlie manage to get together. What with Pete Talbot anchored at Port Townsend, the Amazing '38 has quite a delegation on the peninsula.
