1933
Class secretaries' work is helped immeasurably by kindly persons who send in news about their classmates. One of the kindest is Page Worthington, who sent me the first three items: The Dartmouth Club of Baltimore, Md., is already well along in planning for the Navy game, October 4. Annapolis is too small to hold us all, so Baltimore will be the major scene, other than the game. Festivities will begin October 3 with a dinner in a Baltimore hotel. Rooms in that city's hotels have already been held for your expected reservations. There will be a breakfast aboard a charter boat to Annapolis, and, perhaps, a dinner aboard the same boat, back to Baltimore, post-game. (Otherwise, a Baltimore hotel dinner.) Since the coaching situation is stabilized, it is assumed Dartmouth will win, and there will be plenty to cheer about. More and firmer details later.
A Baltimore Sun article reported on a round of golf, the players being Jack Nicklaus and Paul Celano (Joe Celano's son) at Grand Cyprus Golf Club, Orlando, Fla., where Paul is the golf director and mighty Jack the course designer. Time allowed them only 12 holes. Nicklaus, after a month's layoff, played them in three under par; Paul, after early jitters, finished one over. Tough competition, but Paul says Jack's great to play with!
A Georgetown University press release affirmed that Horace: Priest of the Poor by John S. Monagan is finally "out." The 225-page hardcover book can be purchased from G.U. Press for $14.95. John will gladly autograph copies tendered at the Navy game.
The class has received letters of thanks for memorial books placed in Dartmouth's library: Sue Hicks on behalf of Hunter, Fredda Henchey for Ken, and "Ty" Gates for George. They were all most appreciative of your gifts to Baker. I asked Ty how she got the lovely name Thais and allowed it to become so corrupted. Her father was an opera buff and almost had her baptized "Jessica," but settled for Thais. Her early schoolmates couldn't pronounce that, especially after tooth fairy visits, so she became "Ty." She, too, is a classical pianist.
Al Swan, resident of Plandome, N.Y., still commutes to New York City, practicing law. He hopes to take it easier next year and attend more '33 minis with his wife, Ruth. He is a trustee and highway commissioner of Plandome and also goes out to direct traffic each time the volunteer fire department is called to duty. He owns a KOD 26-foot, one-design sloop which he races on the Long Island. Sound with "pretty good results." He sees Jim Moore '32 quite often in their racing and says Jim is a remarkable sailor. Al plays a lot of tennis, doubles only, and grows vegetables in his garden. He and Ruth have one new grandson in Missoula, Mont., and one 19-year-old, a freshman at Antioch College.
Clarence H. Albaugh, M.D., out of L.A. and known as "Al," has retired from the active practice of medicine. He has a continuing interest in amateur radio, loves upland game hunting, and is "somewhat of a nut" on ballistics. He has done a lot of traveling and has made motion picture travelogues of most of the places he has visited around the world.
Al is coming east this summer to attend his 50th at Harvard Medical School. He plans on visiting Hanover at that time, also. He sees Ken Jacques, M.D., quite often. Ken is practicing orthopedics in Hollywood. Al was delighted to have a visit from Waxy and Madge Wright a couple of years ago.
Another doctor, H. F. Helmholz Jr. (known to us, of course, as Fred), has received a citation from the trustees of the National Board for Respiratory Care for his outstanding work as its president during 1985. A copy of this citation was sent to me, with laudatory comments about Fred's work, by Fred Louis III '58. I called the Fred senior and learned that he is retired from Mayo Clinic but still teaching respiratory therapy in school. While he has retired as president of the above mentioned board, he will continue to serve on it for two more years. Fred's wife, Mary, died a few years ago. His son, Donald, lives in nearby St. Paul. Fred swims in his apartment pool for recreation.
"Research Reporter," house organ of the laboratories of the Worcester, Mass., Foundation for Experimental Biology, reports that a $50,000 grant has been received and that Paul Zamecnik, M.D., along with two other doctors, one from the National Institute of Health, will use it to support their research in the chemotherapy of AIDS and leukemia. Paul will be "top doc" on the project.
I salute all our '33 doctors.
Jim Moore '32 left, is pictured sailing in New York's Manhasset Bay in Icy Lure with crew member Nancy Morris. His son, Steve Moore '70, recently won the race for past commodores of the frostbite Yacht Club (with his father right behind) and placed second in an interclub three-day regatta.
