Class Note 1951
Issue
September-October 2022
When we left off last month I was describing President John Sloan Dickey’s remarkable impact on our class, notably in inspiring many ’51s to pursue careers in international affairs. I highlighted several of our classmates who made important contributions in this field, and I promised additional examples in this issue. Here are 13 more.
Haviland Smith, Dave McDonough,and Kendall Way had long and contributive careers in foreign intelligence with the Central Intelligence Agency. Dave lived in Greece, the Congo, Algeria, France, and Morocco. Hav spent 25 years with the agency, including time as a station chief. The CIA recognized him with its Medal of Merit. Ken was a case officer in Korea and received the Medal of Freedom.
International journalism attracted Dick Halloran. His special area of interest and experience was in Asia, especially Japan and China. He was honored with the Gerald R. Ford Prize for distinguished reporting on national defense. Pete Martin headed the Institute of Current World Affairs, which fostered the development of young journalists drawn to the field. Bob McCabe’sreporting took him to Southeast Asia, where he was Newsweek’s bureau chief in Hong Kong covering China. He later was a correspondent in Paris for Time magazine and The International Herald Tribune. Chuck Storer covered the United Nations for the Associated Press.
Other ’51 internationalists included Bill Pardee (USAID in Burundi); Frank Johnson, who manned the Soviet Navy desk in the Pentagon and was a guest lecturer at the Foreign Service Institute; Bill Merkle and Don Cox, who both volunteered in the International Executive Service Corps in retirement; and Frank Smallwood, who taught countless Dartmouth students for 50-plus years as the Nelson Rockefeller Professor of Government.
Ed Winsor was a professor at the Naval War College for nine years.
What an astonishing positive difference these distinguished classmates have made in international understanding!
We mourn the recent deaths of eight classmates and spouses: Bob Brod,Lois Broido (wife of Bing), Jim Cavanagh, Howard Fuller, Dave Hall, Joyce McFarland (wife of Dick), Ace Mueller,and John PerLee.
