Ken Pinheiro was at Dartmouth only one semester in 1944 in the Navy V-12 before he was commissioned and participated in the February 1945 invasion of Iwo Jima. After the war he completed his B.A. at the University of New Hampshire. He does not want to be separated from our class as he has good memories of Hanover, where he played the organ in a church on West Wheelock Street. Jere Poole came to Dartmouth in the summer of 1944, went to the Pennsylvania Maritime Academy in 1945, returned to Dartmouth in 1946 and after graduation went to work for the Insurance Company of North America. At the beginning of the Korean War he volunteered for the Air Force aviation cadet program, where he was commissioned as a navigator, flew 53 combat missions, spent two years in Guam flying into 27 typhoons and upon discharge stayed in the reserve. He worked in his father’s construction business until he was called back into service during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. He spent five years as a missile combat crew commander and went to intelligence school and then Vietnam. His subsequent career in intelligence until retirement in 1983 was highlighted as a senior emergency action officer on a U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff operation team at the Alternate National Military Command Center near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He and Darielle (“Dee”) were married in 1952 and have three children and four grandchildren. During his career they maintained their residence in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, where Dee was a guidance counselor in the school system for 23 years. Jere has some balance problems that keep him from traveling, but otherwise is fine. He enjoyed Dartmouth and class reunions. He recalled the fire hose flooding of a floor of Richardson for a couple of hockey players to practice. Unfortunately, his father got a bill for his share of repair costs for the ceiling below. There’s still time to attend our annual class mini-reunion October 3 and 4 during the Penn game.
