Class Note 1947
Sept - Oct 2011
Dr. Hardy Hendren is still active in his field of pediatric surgery. He was involved in the formation of a tax-exempt educational foundation for teaching pediatric surgery and urology. The information will be available free on the website to surgeons worldwide. He notes that it is a full-time job to keep up with the input. In May he returned to Pensacola, Florida, where he received his wings in 1946, to take part in the 100th anniversary of naval aviation. Bill Hallager writes that the new center for the arts in Lincoln, New Hampshire, named Jean’s Playhouse in memory of his wife, will be opened in September. Joe and Sally Hayes, on the return from their annual winter in Anguilla, British West Indies, write that the economy there has suffered greatly from the restricted tourist trade. We note the passing of Paul Guilderson’s wife, Helen, in Florida in March and of Alan Zeller’s wife and Doug Teschner’s widow in Maine in January. Carl Kaufman spends his summers on Block Island, Rhode Island, where his time is involved with making guitars, instructing would-be luthiers in the construction of same, and in supervising small-boat construction. He was disappointed that crew was not a recognized sport while we were in Hanover. Important dates: October 21-23, mini-reunion at the Norwich Inn (Columbia football); September 14-16, 2012, 65th reunion at the Hanover Inn. Sympathy of the class is extended to the families and friends of classmates who died recently: Harold Moulton, September 9, 2010; Richard Perkins, February 29; Walter Peterson, June 1; Lawrence Steuber, April 22; and Henry Torpay, April 6.
