David Barr came to Dartmouth in the summer of 1944 as part of the Marine Corps V-12 program and returned to Hanover after completing his military service. He was a star on our baseball team and Sonny Drury remembers him hitting a three-bagger to defeat Navy, 2-1. He completed his degree and married Mary in 1950. They had three children and celebrate their 65th anniversary this year. David spent his career teaching math at the Saint James School and Frederick High School in Maryland. He continued his love of baseball and for decades managed teams during the summer in New Brunswick, Canada. Hugh Ettinger is one of our few classmates still working and keeps busy four days a week as a “jack of all trades” for a private company in New Orleans that owns some 7,000 apartment units in five states. He first arrived at Dartmouth July 1, 1943, as part of the Navy V-12 program and returned after his naval service, receiving an A.B. after one year at Tuck. He married Jane (Terry), who died in 2009, and they had three children. After working for W.R. Grace he spent 20-odd years in the financial markets with Merrill Lynch and Investors Diversified Services in Minneapolis. He then worked approximately 18 years for Bedminster Bioconversion Corp., a startup that owned proprietary technology for the composting of mixed municipal wastes and set up plants internationally. It was sold in 2003 and Hugh moved to New Orleans, where his daughter and family live. He notes that he has a family of some longevity, with a grandfather who fought in the Civil War. He has three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. We recently lost Colin Stewart,who was a great skier and finished seventh in the special slalom in the 1948 Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland, the highest placing to that date for any American in an alpine event. St. Moritz has a grand hotel and spa, where guests came from afar to “take the waters,” and morphed into Europe’s most renowned ski resort.
