HELEN ENGLANDER

On April 9, WILLIAM HANSON MORTON returned to Dartmouth to be honored for his many years of devotion and service to the College by the dedication of an impressive new dormitory named in his honor. Bill participated in full in accepting this honor, even though he must have known that his long and valiant struggle against cancer was soon to be lost.

We of 1932 remember well his athletic achievements, as he and Bill McCall wrote football history and as he starred in hockey and baseball. AU-American honors from that time were capped recently by the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame having bestowed its Gold Medal on Bill.

At Dartmouth, he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Green Key, and the Sphinx Honor Society.

After graduation he was prominent in Dartmouth alumni affairs, including the Alumni Council, and as resident of the Dartmouth College Athletic Council. In 1972 he received the Alumni Award, and in that same year was elected to the College's Board of Trustees, on which he served until 1979.

In 1982 Dartmouth bestowed an honorary doctor of laws degree. Some years ago, Bill, and his wife, Peggy, presented the Morton Farm to the College, thus adding a fine facility for riding in the hills of Etna, near the Morton's country home. It is well-known that Bill shared his financial success with the College and with the Medical School.

Bill's business career has been well chronicled elsewhere and is well-known. Space does not permit its repetition here.

To Peggy Morton, his wife, and their daughter and two sons, we of 1932 express our deepest sympathy.

Bill Morton has come home to Dartmouth and to the North Country once more.

ALAN GARY SCHUMAKER, 76, died suddenly of a massive stoke September 22,1986 at his home in Toronto, Canada. Alan was born in Maiden, Mass. He attended Tabor Academy before entering Dartmouth.

Dr. WALTER BAIN CRANDELL died at Mary Hitchcock Hospital on March 28. Walt had been playing tennis at Leverone, suffered a severe heart attack, was given CPR by two members of the baseball team who were practicing there, but never regained consciousness.

At Dartmouth Walt played varsity football and was a member of Alpha Delta Phi and Sphinx. He received his M.D. from NYU's College of Medicine in 1937, and interned at Mary Hitchcock, along with classmates Frank Lepreau and John Lyle. After residency in thoracic surgery at Mass General in Boston and Bellevue in New York, Walt served in military hospitals during World War II in the North African and European theaters, rising to the rank of major.

He attended Harvard Law School, graduating in 1937, and was employed as an attorney with the Commercial Union Insurance Company in New York City. He retired in 1975, enjoying golf, boating and travel while health permitted.

1935

"Who is minding the store?" Why it has always been LORENZO TYLER CARLISLE, of course. Ty, who died December 28, 1986 in his hometown of Ashtabula, Ohio, deeply loved his family and his career, managing the family department store chain of Carlisle-Allen founded by his grandfather in 1867.

At Dartmouth Ty was manager of varsity baseball and was a member of Sphinx, Palaeopitus, and Green Key. Following graduation he attended the University of Michigan Law School, earning his LL.B. in 1938, and practiced law in Detroit for three years. Pressure to join the family business kept mounting, so he returned to Ashtabula. Then in 1943 he responded to the call from the navy, serving as an ensign until 1945 in the Pacific theatre.

He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Clare Wilmer. They have three grown children: Casella Smith, Lorenzo T. III '65, and Victoria, and a nephew, Albert T. Carlisle, Tuck '61.

Ty's friendly, gentle nature endeared him especially to their grandchildren. The Carlisles have a cottage at Lake Chautauqua, N.Y., where they enjoyed many family reunions. Travelling was also a big part of their lives.

Ty's devotion to helping others spilled over into many activities, such as being head of the Ohio Council of Retail Merchants, the Ashtabula Civic Development Corporation, the United Way, the County Medical Center, and many others.

Men like Ty are rare. He will be deeply missed.

JACK AUWERTER '35

FRANK SMITH CORLETT died of cancer in the Jacksonville Naval Hospital on March 21. No family members survive, but this task is made easy by use of his own obituary written in 1967 after reports of his death were circulated in error.

He came to college from Shattuck Military Academy, was active on the Daily Dartmouth and the Jack O'Lantern, in all the language clubs and their plays, and took honors in economics. Much later he received an M.B.A. from UCLA.

The Navy occupied most of his career, starting in World War II. After military service he held qualifying certificates for teaching command and logistics courses—first at the Newport War College and Stevens Institute of Technology. Later he also taught ROTC students in Florida. He attained the rank of commander in the Naval Reserve.

He enjoyed semiretirement near Daytona from 1970 until last year, when, "after a good fight," cancer took him.

KARL MICHAEL DOLLAR, well-known as "Dutch," died on December 20, 1986. A stroke in September brought on complications which he was unable to fight. He had lived in Chevy Chase, Md., for many years.

He is survived by a son, Dietrich, and an ex-wife and good friend, Harriet Asquith. The class extends its sympathy to them.

At Dartmouth Dutch played soccer, was in the Players, and majored in German. He went to Washington soon after graduation, earning a law degree from St. Lawrence University and stayed in the Washington Area. After being an associate with Gall and Lane firm, he set up private practice in 1949. During some of these years he was assistant general counsel for the National Association of Manufacturers and president of the Dartmouth Club in Washington.

Another great guy gone too soon. We of '35 wish that we had known him better.

OWEN FAIRWEATHER of Barrington, Ill., prominent authority on labor law, collapsed and died of a heart attack February 27 while he and his wife were attending a party at the Casino Club in Chicago.

Owen was a founding partner of Seyfarth, Shaw, Fairweather & Geraldson. He wrote six books on labor law and was well-known in the field.

His work brought him frequent opportunities for foreign travel. His trips with his wife, Sally, took him to Europe and Africa and most recently the Orient, where he did a bit of high altitude climbing in the Himalayas. He felt quite exhilarated at being able to do this at 70.

At Dartmouth Owen joined Psi U, majored in economics, then went on to get his law degree from the University of Chicago. After brief service in private practice he served on the War Labor Board in Washington during World War II.

In 1940 he married Sally Hallberg, who for the past 25 years has operated the Fair-weather-Hardin art gallery in Chicago.

DICK MONTGOMERY

MANGUS JOHN HERBS died of cancer on March 20 in the Port Jefferson, N.Y., Hospital. He leaves his wife, Eileen; a son, John; and a daughter, Marianne, to whom the class sends sympathy.

Herb had retired ten years ago and moved to a condo on the golf course where he had his favorite hobby readily available. He played well and often, his wife says. They had lived in Pennsylvania but found Long Island (Medford) more attractive as both their children were nearby.

The Herbs made frequent return trips to the College, where he had spent "the best years of his life."

COLSON HENRY HILLIER died in Boynton Beach, Fla., on February 26. He lived in nearby Highland Beach and in West Chester, Pa.

Cols spent his career with the Whiting Patterson Company (graphic arts) in Wilmington, Del., and Philadelphia.

He went to the University of Pennsylvania after leaving Dartmouth before graduation. He was a past member of the Union League and the Philadelphia Country Club as well as President of the Philadelphia Graphic Arts Golf Club.

Our sympathy to his family.

HERBERT ERNEST KNOWLES of Northbrook, III., died March 1 of complications following a heart attack suffered just before Thanksgiving. He had fought gamely for 100 days, much of the time spent in a respirator.

Perhaps no classmate has been as active in retirement as Herb was. He spent several days a week working on projects for the Executive Service Corps. Golf and tennis were an almost daily activity. This past summer he relived one of his favorite experiences by crewing in the Chicago-Mackinaw yacht race. In the late 1930s he had raced his own boat in this competition.

Herb spent his business life in the floor covering field. He joined Carson-Pirie-Scott in 1946, working his way up through sales positions in Indianapolis, Detroit, and St. Louis before becoming vice president in charge of carpeting sales in Chicago. He left in the mid-1960s to become vice president for International Sales at Ozite Corporation. As such he travelled extensively to the Orient, making the circuit from Japan to Australia twice a year.

Herb married Bernyce La Cour in 1945, just before being discharged from the Air Force, where he had risen from private to major. He is also survived by a daughter, Joan; two sons, Herbert Jr. and Lt. Cmdr. Todd Knowles; and three grandchildren.

We have lost a valuable human being in the death from cancer of JAMES STARKWEATHER LESURE at home in Manchester, Conn., on February 26.

Coming from Bayside, Long Island, he was attracted to New York banking after college and work at NYU and Fordham Law School. He served in US. Naval Intelligence during World War II, after which he taught business and English at Nichols College and obtained an M.Ed, at Tufts.

Jim moved to Connecticut in 1950 and became director of admissions at Hillyer College (now the University of Hartford). He joined the State Department of Education and spent most of his career in teacher certification. Having earned his Ph.D. at the University of Connecticut, he became associate professor of education and later registrar at the University of Hartford.

His personality and his frank honesty were special. He enjoyed singing, and for 45 years his beautiful bass voice enriched church choirs with solos and anthems. He liked tennis, playing until January. He had won many local tournaments. He also played a happy game of golf.

Jim was fascinated with the written word and aside from many professional articles had one book published by Harper and Row in 1965, A Guide to Pedaguese, a humorous glossary of educational jargon.

During his last months he was trying to finish a second book, What The Patient Should Tell His Visitors.

Jim leaves his wife, Jean; two daughters, Jean Ellen and Jeanette L.; two sons, James S. Jr. and John H.; a brother, Harvey K. (Luke) '42, a sister, and seven grandchildren.

Memorial services were held in the Talcotville Congregational Church on March 7. The class was represented.

HARRISON WILMOTT LIBBEY died of cancer on January 2 in Arlington, Va.

His sister, Kathleen Robertson, tells us he had survived a number of operations including a five-way heart bypass. Harry and his sister were sung to sleep as infants with "Men of Dartmouth" and "Eleazar" by their father, Charles Otis Libbey '10.

In college he majored in history and was a member of the Players and an officer in the Forensic Union. He went to Washington, D.C., very soon and spent the rest of his life in that area.

Harry joined the Navy in 1942 and served on the staff of the Chief of Naval Operations, rising to the rank of lieutenant commander. He stayed with the Navy as a management engineer until 1950, when he transferred to Army Ordnance as Chief of Procurement Review.

We hear of his shopping for elderly neighbors, looking after someone else—a kind and giving person as long as he was able.

Harry leaves his wife, Mary Jo, and a son, Charles Frederick, to whom we send our sympathy.

Fortunately, they had made a wonderful trip through Germany last fall shortly after visiting their son, Peter '70, who is stationed in Berlin with the U.S. Information Agency.

Dave joined R.H. Macy after graduation from Tuck in 1938. A distinguished army career followed. He was discharged as a captain in 1945 after serving in the European Theatre. He left Macy shortly after the war to found a mail-order fabric business. A year before his death, he turned over the business to his son, Thomas. Tom graduated from Beloit College in 1977.

David's oldest son, David Jr. '70, works for Exxon in Bogata, Columbia. In addition, Dave left four grandchildren.

I'll be vice president, Trust Investments, at the Valley National Bank." Then in 1976 he was asked by his former employers at the Milwaukee bank to form a new subsidiary, The Marshall & Isley Trust Company of Arizona.

A geology major, he graduated Cum Laude, and won the James B. Richardson Fellowship for graduate study at the University of Minnesota, where he earned his Ph.D. And that is where he met and married Phyllis Redlin.

As a geologist and geophysicist Jim hammered out a distinguished career literally, "in the field," first with the California Company, in New Orleans in 1948. Continuing with the Standard Oil banner as vice president for exploration in Houston, San Francisco, and Denver, his search took him all over the United States and on numerous trips to Canada, Cuba, Guatemala, Venezuela, Columbia, Ecudor, Peru, and Bolivia. In 1977 he became regional vice president in Denver for Chevron USA, a position he held until his retirement in 1981.

BILL EMBREE '50

1951

WILLIAM RUSSELL FOSTER, of Wethersfield, Conn., died of cancer on October 4, 1986, two days before his 57th birthday. Though he left Dartmouth for Oxford University in 1949, Bill came from a strong Dartmouth family: his father was Carroll (Pop) Foster '24, a noted quarter-miler in track; and a brother, Peter '48, two uncles, Kendall P. Foster '26 and Edwin C. Knapp '33, and two first cousins, Edwin B. Knapp '65 and David H. Knapp '68 were all graduates of the College.

While in England from 1951 to 1955 with the U.S. Air Force, Bill met and married Jill Daubeny, who predeceased him by two years.

Bill majored in English, did graduate work at Keene (N.H.) State College, taught in the Brattleboro, Vt., public schools, was a sales promotion supervisor for Travelers Insurance, and joined G. Fox and Company, where he became personnel director of retailing in 1973.

Bill was active in civic organizations: Operations manager for the Hartford Downtown Council; director of information at the Hartford Civic Center Mall; chairman of the religious education committee of the First Church of Christ in Wethersfield; president of the Wethersfield Community Players; a member of Little Theatre, the Symphony Society, Toastmasters International, and the Boys Scout Council. He and Jill loved traveling, art, music, and painting.

H3 is survived by his son, Alan; his daughter, Carol; his grandson, Jeffrey; and his brother, Peter, who writes, "Bill was always proud of his associations with Dartmouth."

ROBERT MAXWELL WILLIAMS died at his office at the chemistry department of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst in May 1986. He was an assistant professor of organic chemistry and had been teaching there since 1959.

He received his master's degree from the University of New Hampshire in 1953 and his doctorate from lowa State University in 1958. As a teacher Robert was known, according to a colleague, for his willingness to spend "enormous amounts of time with students," a practice stemming from his desire to provide them with an understanding of the causes underlying chemical processes. Much of his research involved making new compounds to test chemical theories, and in 1962 he received a grant from the Research Foundation of New York City for his work.

The Department of Chemistry at UMass has instituted a scholarship fund in his memory "to honor forever a truly compassionate and giving man," citing, among other things, his dedication to teaching: "There is no doubt that Dr. Willaims' method of teaching was unique. The familiar sight of the coffee pot or the sound of classical music meant that Dr. Williams was nearby .... His office hours were set by the desires of his students. He made himself available day or .night, often seven days a week, for any student who was willing to make the effort along with him."

He is survived by his wife, Barbara Barry Williams; his son, Brian; his daughter, Leslie A. Roberts; his sister, Polly Williams; and four grandchildren.

1967

MELVIN BOOZER died in Washington, D.C., on March 3 of acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

After majoring in sociology at Dartmouth, Mel spent three years in Brazil with the Peace Corps before completing graduate studies at Oberlin College and Yale University. Mel subsequently served as an assistant professor at the University of Maryland and as public information officer for the D.C. Association for Retarded Citizens.

At the 1980 Democratic Convention, Mel gave a moving address on the effects of discrimination when his name was placed in nomination for vice president. He was a national leader of groups seeking to guarantee the civil rights of blacks and homosexuals, having served as Washington director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and on the 1984 steering committee for Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign. In February Washington Mayor Marion Barry and members of the City Council honored Mel for his many contributions to his native city.

Those of us who knew Mel at Dartmouth admired his quiet dignity. Those of us who followed his political career could only respect the integrity and eloquence with which he spoke. As a freshman Mel often talked of the meaning to him of "Vox Clamantis in Deserto." He went on to develop a voice that will not be easily forgotten. We extend our sympathy to his family.
