Class Note 1948
Issue
Richard “Fisty” Flynn tells me he is struggling with Alzheimer memory loss, but his recall is remarkable. Before coming to Dartmouth late in 1944 he served as a master sergeant in the Marine Corps in the South Pacific, where he was wounded and subsequently discharged. He remembers helping Lou set up his restaurant in Hanover and then slinging hash there to supplement his GI benefits. In the late 1950s he established an insurance business with an Italian company in Spain that was effectively expropriated by the Franco regime, came back to the United States busted, married, adopted three children, eventually moved to San Francisco area and established a successful residential home-care insurance business that he sold about 10 years ago. He still gets back to Dartmouth every year around Memorial Day.
Tom Huffman also came to Dartmouth in 1944, went into the Merchant Marines February 1945 through September 1946, back to Dartmouth and med school there and in Rochester, NY, and then completed his military responsibilities as a medical officer in the Navy in 1954 through 1956. He subsequently practiced medicine at St. Luke’s Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, and in 1972 moved to Colorado. He and Beth have four sons, all of whom still live there. Tom skis in the winter and has a cabin retreat in north Fort Collins, where he relaxes and enjoys fly-fishing. He’s active in his community foundation and as a correspondent for Dartmouth Medical School.
Woody DeYoe relates that he has two sons, two daughters and six grandchildren. He goes regularly to his law office, but it’s “only to open the mail.” He lives in Ridgewood, New Jersey, and is an enthusiastic golfer carrying a not-too-shabby 23 handicap off the men’s green tees. He regularly attends the Dartmouth hockey golf outing in September and visits with his daughter Cathy’s family in Norwich, Vermont.
Don’t forget our annual mini-reunion is the weekend of October 8.
