1948

May's Alumni Council meeting will have positive effects in strengthening alumni participation in all aspects of Dartmouth life, in better understanding what goes on in Hanover, and hopefully, in reducing polarization among us alumni offspring of Eleazar. So, gang, get to work if you wish to be heard.

Bob Tracy, 30 minutes out of Buffalo m East Aurora, is finally giving up the ghost on his little iron foundry where he has made gray and ductile for so many years. After the plant burned down in 1981, he managed gradually to bring it back to full operation by 1985, but had to close it in 1986, everchanging government regulations being the culprit. "Glad to be getting rid of it!" he says with some passion and obvious sadness. Bob still is in construction work, how- ever, and sends best regards to old pals Larry Pedersen and Al McKee. Bob would also recall those 1944—46 weekend DOC trips to the White Mountains with other outdoorsmen such as Don Drescher, Gus Gustafcon, Charlie Kaufman, Bill Malone, Bill Marshall, Foxy Parker, Dick Repko, Murph Robins, Ted Thornton, Phil Vlereck, and the late lan Macartney and Pete Owen, to name a few.

Kay, widow of Charlie Zoolalian, who died in California last year, asked me if I can find Jack Tarbell, old friend and roommate of Charlie in the marine V-12 in Hanover in 1943, and best man at their wedding. Don Drescher thought Fred Maloney might have known Jack and be able to locate him. The colonel called a couple of weeks ago from Cape Cod where he and Dorothea, a former Mary Hitchcock R.N., live part of the year. Fred retired from the corps a few years ago and has been in several business ventures and other activities on the Cape and in Florida since then. His mam interests now are teaching remedial reading to handicapped fifth graders and advising small businesses. He didn't know Jack Tarbell as he didn't arrive in Hanover until 1945. He and Dorothea married in 1947 before they lived in Sachem Village. Two of Fred's friends were Bob Sebilian and Bill Wright, and he believes Bill may be able to lead us to Charlie's old friend in behalf of Kay who may have a final message from his old roommate.

Our '48 television industry broadcaster and entrepreneur par excellence, Bing Aspinwall, has done it again. The former owner of WPBR TALK 1340 in Palm Beach has become host of Lifeline, a national TV medical series broadcast weekly from Boca Raton to over 2,000 hospitals across the U.S. The circular points out that Bing has been a network TV news writer, producer and correspondent for CBS News, ABC News, and NET News. One bets that the new medical series will put Bing in touch with orthopedic surgeon Jack Mahoney in nearby Ft. Lauderdale and with internist Dwight Burley in slightly-more-distant Coral Gables.
