1921

RUDOLPH PICKETT BLESH, 86, died of a stroke at his farm, Hill Forge, in Gilmanton, N.H., on August 25.

The New York Times on August 26 devoted the largest part of a full column to the accomplishments of Rudi as an author in the field of ragtime music. They All Played Ragtime, which he co-wrote with Harriet Janis, was the first full-length book on this subject. This book was followed by Keaton, a biography of the silent-film comedian Buster Keaton.

Because of his love of jazz, which he acquired while an undergrad, he remained in this field even after college when he moved to San Francisco. He took a position as an interior designer and also became a jazz critic for The San Francisco Chronicle, as well as an active local concert promoter.

In 1944 when Rudi moved to New York City, he became a jazz critic for The NewYork Herald Tribune. His pamphlet, "This is Jazz," evolved into his first book, ShiningTrumpets, a history of New Orleans jazz, published in 1946. Then in 1948 he was host of the coast-to-coast radio show "This Is Jazz," which featured the greatest New Orleans musicians playing live.

Crisscrossing the country, he documented the rise of ragtime and the contributions of the many men who created its music. During his research, he rediscovered Eubie Blake, whom he persuaded to come out of retirement.

Rudi taught at New York University and at Queens College, concentrating on the history of ragtime.

His daughter, Hilary Michaud of Marblehead, Mass., four grandchildren, and a great-grandson survive.

Leaving Tulane in 1942, he became an independent consultant for many companies. In 1966 he earned the designation of C.F.A. (Chartered Financial Analyst).

Bob was the founder of our "21 Smoker." He was our first class secretary. In college he was a member of the Glee Club, the band, Chi Phi, the DOC, and other organizations. He had numerous civic and professional affiliations.

The full page which Russ Bailey devoted to Bob in the 1984 "21 Smoker" closed with these words: "If 1921 gave an award to the most successful classmate, Robert William Elsasser would be a nominee." He was listed in every "Who's Who" published in the U.S.A.

Bob's love and affection for the College was so deep that the class has learned his entire estate was left to Dartmouth.

MARSHALL ORME EXNICIOS, 86, died on September 4 at Watch Hill, R.I., of a heart attack. "Ex" had a warm, friendly personality. It was always a delight to engage in conversation with him.

From his daughter, Carol Tucker, the class has received a letter in which she writes of the life and deeds performed by her father during his lifetime: "He was a Rufus Choate scholar, a member of Phi Beta Kappa at Dartmouth, and studied economics at the graduate college of Princeton.

"After leaving college, he was with the Old National City Bank of New York in Cuba, and later was correspondent of the Chase National Bank in Washington, D.C.

Another of 1931's distinguished scholars was lost when GEORGE LEWIS PHILLIPS died of pneumonia at Alavarado Hospital, San Diego, Calif., on November 18, 1985.

His academic field was English, which he taught at the University of West Virginia and Hofstra University before coming to San Diego State University in 1947.

He wrote two books on the subject that attracted national attention. Their titles were England'sClimbing Boys and America's Chimney Sweeps. Professor W.R. Waterman, in a review, called the latter "a most satisfactory contribution to a neglected phase of American social history." He was a member of the board of the National English-speaking Union and most active in civic affairs in San Diego.

He joined The Green Bay Post-Gazette as a reporter and moved up to executive editor before shifting in 1962 to Appleton as editor and a director of The Post-Crescent, which then enlarged into a communications conglomerate.

His associates said he was the epitome of the personal editor. As evidence of their esteem there was that wonderful spoof front page they printed upon his retirement as editor (reprinted next to 1934's November 1983 Alumni Magazine column). It points to the wide variety of his interests, from skiing and the arts to duck hunting and the Green Bay Packers. He was on the Packers' board for 36 years and recently wrote a book called The Packer Legend, An Inside Look. He provided leadership in many community activities: Chamber of Commerce, Boy Scouts, Wildlife, county government, and the United Way. During World War II, he served with the army in the European Theater of Operations and was discharged as a lieutenant colonel.

His wife of almost 50 years, Louise (Bombanek), survives, along with six children, John Jr., Thomas '61, Charles, Laurel, Nancy, Mark, and 15 grandchildren.

During the war he was with the navy as a radio technician on USS Sherman. Then for two years he taught speech and sales techniques at CCNY before returning to the business world.

He was active in community affairs and all manner of sports. And through the years he was a genuine '34 cheerleader, writing recently about how he was "bursting with pride" over the honors his classmates had achieved. He served as class agent for 45 years. His wife of 45 years, Helen (Mason), survives along with their son William and a grandson, and brothers Bill and George and sister Frances.

His words have ceased, his voice is stilled. We shall no longer see him leading the chorus. On July 22, 1985, CHARLES ADRIAN GARDNER died of unknown causes after a six-month illness.

Charlie prepared for college at Cleveland Heights High School. He served in the U.S. Navy as an aviation ordnance technician before matriculating at Dartmouth. His major was sociology, and he was a member of Delta Tau Delta and Casque and Gauntlet. As a member of the Glee Club he cofounded the octet known for years as The Iniunaires.

After graduation Charlie joined the J. Walter Thompson ad agency where, in 1954, he created the Ford outdoor poster: "The only convertible that outsells the Ford — the baby carriage." For that idea Charlie won the Chicago art directors' award. Later he bacame vice president and associate creative director of the agency. In 1961 he joined Lennen and Newell as creative director.

Charlie's big move came in 1964, when he left the big time and formed his own advertising agency, Madison Avenue and Elm, Inc., in New Canaan. His motto was "So long as it's a consumer product or service, we'll help to sell it."

In 1949 Charlie married Edith Stedfast, a graduate of Colby Junior College. He is survived by Edith and three children: Nancy Anne, Pamela, and Charles A. Jr.

Few people know that Charlie was also a poet. His work is introspective, sensitive, and innovative.

Now Charlie is gone. His spirit remains in his poems, in a nostalgic word, in the sound of a clear tenor phrase. We, the class of 1950, remember him best in terms of his own creation - a touch of class.

1966

GEORGE HANNAH REESE III, 41, died September 2, 1985, in Wellesley, Mass., of complications from Budd Chiari syndrome, an extremely rare liver disease, which he had fought for the past four years. George came to Dartmouth from Norwalk, Conn. At Dartmouth he majored in English, was a member of Bones Gate, Winter Carnival Council, and WDCR.

After graduation, George served as an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, both in the U.S. and in Viet Nam. After his tour of duty, he worked for Honeywell Corporation in Boston. He earned his M.B.A. from Harvard in 1974 and joined Weston Associates, Inc., a Boston-based real estate development company. He married Joan Stqlarz in 1970 and is survived by Joan and their children, Christopher and Jimmy; his parents, George and Betty; and his three brothers, Dick, Jim, and Tom.

George and I were roommates for two years. He and my early Dartmouth experiences are inextricably intertwined: our first road trip, booking in the "libs," intramural sports, the blind dates, Thanksgiving in Norwalk, "campus leaders" and wheat jeans, the joys, the let-downs. Somehow I always thought George and I would teeter to our 50th reunion to chortle over that wild night we hitchhiked to Boston in a snowstorm. But George was not only my friend; he was Jim's, Simon's, and Gary's.

George endeared himself to many people. The bud of enthusiasm for life and people I remember in school blossomed in the real world. He was in his prime orchestrating events around the people he cared for. It is a simple tribute to look back and recall the fun we had; indeed it is difficult to remember a time with him which was not that way.

We miss George, and the class sends its deepest sympathy to his family.
