1946

Quite a few classmates have expressed their varied concerns, that many seem to share, about recent events involving faculty, students, administration, coaches, shanties, sit-ins, and the Indian symbol, and all of the international press that has gone with it. Among those who have written in recently are Jim Shute, DickPrice, and Buol Hinman. Their constructive comments really are appreciated. Times have changed, and the College seems to have changed as well. Let us all hope for a period of tranquility, when everyone on this campus and at the many other colleges which have not received the same publicity can focus again on their real purpose.

The list of those planning to attend our 40th reunion this spring continues to grow. Unfortunately, some will not be able to make it back because of conflicts. Martin Hamilton writes from Paris - France, that is - that he has attended many Dartmouth alumni meetings over there and would like to return in June, but the dates conflict with a key Congress meeting he must attend.

Ray and Maxine Gallagher are optimistic about future reunions, but Ray is recuperating from a massive stroke that has laid him up for a time. Our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Bill Augello writes from Northport, N.Y., that he, too, is sorry to be missing the 40th because of business conflicts. He is specializing in transportation law and has authored several books on the subject. Currently, he is lecturing on the transportation insurance crisis and Writing a new text. He is anxious to acquaintances with classmates of the "navy years." The Augellos do find time to enjoy their six kids and three grandchildren.

And so does Lou Heller, with seven children and eight grandchildren! Married for 29 years (the second time), Lou says that he has a marvelous "life and wife" and shares an interest in foreign travel, visiting 15 countries in the last 18 months. They do plan to make it back for reunion and look forward to seeing all the V-12s.

Jim Hartman checks in from San Francisco with news of his remarriage and the opening of his own investment counseling and financial planning firm, after five years of transforming his career from retail management.

Dr. Myron Stein now lives in Beverly Hills in a home that he says already had a Dartmouth weathervane on its roof when he moved in. The previous owner has no knowledge of its origin. Myron's new next-door neighbor is Joe Eisaman '47, who bought from a movie actress.

Art Sharr writes from Oxford, England, that his teaching schedule may possibly prevent him from being at reunion. He hopes to get time off for the trip. Art reports that he got together with Ed Buloth in Hollywood when he was visiting there in the summer of 1984.

It was good to hear from Bill Goderwis, who now lives in Rutland, Vt., and is anxious to see old friends at reunion. He has just retired from a career in sales with Procter & Gamble.

Larry Kidder writes from Lexington, Ky., that he has just sold his farm (and 700 cattle) and has purchased a 200-acre thoroughbred breeding farm there. He hopes to hear from all old friends who come to Kentucky.

John Helsell also lives on a farm, but on Orcas Island, one of the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington. He and Jan own and operate a small sawmill and logging company specializing in custom lumber and heavy beams.

Dr. Walt Bousa of Fairfield, Conn., was honored recently upon his retirement as chairman of obstetrics/gynecology at St. Vincent's Medical Center in Bridgeport. He joined the staff in 1955 and has been chairman of that department since 1972.

Jim and Mary Jane Brindley are in LaCrosse, Wis., where he is still at the helm of the W.A. Roosevelt Company, a 118-year-old family-owned wholesale distributor. He skis every weekend, plays tennis, sails, and really stays in shape. They have four adult children who are independent and making them very proud of their three grandchildren.

It is with regret that we report the death of Joseph Anthony Reagan of cancer in Dallas, Tex., in July 1985. Joe had been executive vice president of the Florida Wire Products Corporation, a wire manufacturer in North Miami Beach. Previously, he had been with Benton and Bowles Advertising. Joe served in the Marine Corps during World War II and had been recalled during the Korean War. He is survived by a brother and two children.

Best regards. Please keep in touch.
