" 'Tug' was appointed to the World Affairs
Council of Boston. His regular international
travel gives him knowledge of foreign affairs
which the executive committee felt
would be helpful in planning world affairs
activities." She fails to mention his previous
service on the freshman cap burning committee.
From 20 Ferdinand Ave., North Balwyn,
Victoria, Australia, Dick Eustis writes: "General
manager & director of Altona Petrochemical
Co. and director of Australian
Synthetic Rubber Co. We make ethylene for
50 per cent of this country's plastics and at
the moment all of the synthetic rubber.
I've converted to driving on the left and
from dollars to pounds and back to dollars."
The F. G. Schumachers couldn't bear
having only four daughters at home—eldest
Joan, Wellesley '68, is spending her junior
year abroad—so they borrowed Clara Perez,
a senior high student from Tucuman,
Argentina.
Which brings us to Daniel T. Woolfe,
whose son Kenneth spent last summer as an
exchange student in Sante Fe, Argentina.
Son Lorin is at the U of Michigan, while
Dan is building a new animal hospital in
Peekskill.
Ed Trinker writes: "Recently promoted to
captain in Pacific Grove (Calif.) Volunteer
Fire Department. (Correspondent's note:
not much money in that.) Also secretarytreasurer
of the Central Coast Counties
Assn. of Fire Departments. (Correspondent's
note: might be in that.) Still office manager
of McDonald Refrigeration—19 years—on
John Steinbeck's Cannery Row, Monterey."
Fourteen years ago, Don and Louise
Kastner, having decided that the life of a
manufacturer's representative in Manhattan
was not for them, moved to Cape Cod and
took over the Christopher Ryder House in
Chathamport, now with its slice-of-nostalgia
Opera House Night Club—one of the
Cape's most popular watering places.
Meanwhile, in nearby Woods Hole, Dave
Estes will be opening his Landfall Restaurant
for the 22nd consecutive summer.
"Still peddling hash," writes Larry Lowenstein.
"Three children, 18, 16, 14." (Sounds
like the weather reporter who recites temperatures
around the country—"78, 12
below, 54, 27, 92. No time tonight for the
names of the cities.") Anyway, if your
mouth is watering for Larry's hash, it's on
display at Hyde Park Restaurant, Madison &
77th, Manhattan.

Writing the class column sometimes might
be described as deadline delirium. News is
scarce in the late months of each year. But
when John Meyers gets out the dues notices,
many classmates respond; not only with 10
bucks, but also with personal news. Happily,
this year is no exception. During January
and February 201 '44s sent in their class
dues. And 40 included personal news. So
your correspondent has plenty of material
to work with ... for a while. Keep those
notes, with 10's and personals, coming.
The enthusiasm is great; and it's contagious.
Particularly among our doctors, it
seems. Last year they were outstanding in
supporting the class. And this year they
have been the same. According to unofficial
records, there are 55 MD's on the class
list of approximately 1,150. Over 40 per
cent of them have already sent in their
dues, compared with an eighteen per cent
response from the entire class. Our doctors
include Gerald Barrad, Herb (nothing new
to report) Eskwitt, Ray Fear, Jerome Hoffman,
Marvin Huyck, J. A. Jacquez, Alan
Kaplan, Dave (the Lake Inn hasn't been the
same since) Losasso, Amo Piccoli, John
Price, Jacob Robbins, Boris Schwartz, Milt
Shoshkes, Harold Shut), Roe Wells, Dan
Weϊner, Glen Wiggans, and Harold Wurzel.
They all fall into Herb Eskwitt's category
—"nothing new to report."
There are new addresses for Frederick N.
Bailey, MD, 377 Park St., Upper Montclair,
N.J., and Robert W. Ballard, MD 1212
Wallace Dr., Ft. Washington, Pa. Bob
moved a couple of states; Fred, perhaps a
couple of blocks. Our paperwork system is
a bit confusing on a change of address for
Ralph W. Clemments, MD. So we'll have to
check with Ithaca for Ralph's address. Dr.

Great Neck, reports a Cornell wedding.

Winkelblech '70, who is the son of Prof.
Carl Winkelblech. Practicing ophthalmology
in Jericho is Norman B Yourish. He has
three sons and two daughters. Norm says
that his second son is interested in veterinary
medicine. . . . 'Perhaps another Cornellian
in the making." What about the other four?
Norm was not only a Cornell undergraduate,
but also a Cornell Medical College
graduate in 1947.
One year ahead of him in New York was
Stanley E. Smith, 1100 Mayfair Rd., Champaign,
111. Stan spent last June in Europe
with his family, and had just returned from
Yucatan when he sent in his '67 dues.
His son is a sophomore at Purdue, and his
daughter is in sixth grade. Stan was chief
of staff at the Caule Memorial Hospital
during the past year, when a building expansion
program was started. He said that
he feels more like a pseudo-contractor than
an obstetrician and gynecologist. If memory
serves me, our other Dr. Smith has had a
very similar career. Gil was a '47 graduate
of Cornell Medical College, is a gynecologist,
and was chief of staff of his hospital
during an expansion program. These remembrances
are with apologies to Gilbert I.
Smith, MD, because I can't find the NEWS
column that reported these facts. However,
there appears to be one difference. Stan
doesn't report that the Champaign Smiths
have raised any goats. Gil can't make that
statement, from Saratoga, Calif. Or from
any place else, for that matter.
Any place else brings us to Expo 67 and
Canada. Two '44s must be counted among
the first, even though one of them was
not influenced in his move by the Fair.
Robert N. Hustis was named managing
director of Grant Products, Ltd., last August.
(For you provincial American businessmen,
managing director is the equivalent of
president or general manager.) Bob, his wife
Dorothy '45 (Bartley) and their four children
are enjoying a new home on the 18th
fairway of his golf course. Bob's address is
RR 3, Woodbridge, Ontario. Roger E.
Gagnon's address is 4350 Sherbrooke St.,
W., Montreal, Quebec. Expo 67 attracted
Roger, who moved from Florida. Restaurant
and Waldorf Associates are opening a big
complex at Place Bonoventure, and he is in
charge. As might be guessed, Montreal is
not new to Roger. His move might be
described by Thomas Hardy as "the return
of a native." Or something.
Allen Albright's Ontario is not in Canada,
but in New York. He classifies himself not
as a "native"; but as an "old grad," and an
"old dad," too. Son Stephen' is '69, and
Richard is '70. (Sometimes those class
numerals catch me. I can remember enthusiastic
Cornellians parading down State
St. to send the football team to Philadelphia.
The red numerals on their white sweaters
were 1933, 1934 ... '70 didn't even seem to
be coming up in the same century, then.)
