Turned down by Navy, Army, Marines, and Coast Guard. Mem- ber of Cumberland County Rifle- men, an armed civilian mobile unit. Residence: 1 Elm St., Bridgton, Maine. Community interests: Masonry: Little League Baseball, trainer of the Bridgton Barons, a semi-professional basketball team. Wife's Name: Arlene Elizabeth Sheehan. Children: after being married 17 years, we are expecting a child in April. After leaving Bowdoin I went to Washington, D. C. where I worked for the Post Office Department, and later for the Federal Highway Com- mission. My mother died in 1931 and I returned to Bridgton to be with my father, who was ill. His illness made it necessary for me to give up my position in Washington, and I ,became associated with him in his retail clothing and shoe business, which he had established in 1903, and which is now the oldest complete outfitting business in the United States. In 1935 I married Arlene Elizabeth Sheehan of Lowell, Mass. In 1939 my father died and I assumed control of the business, which I have continued and attempted to maintain and expand. I have been very lucky and have no regrets. So, with twenty-five years having gone by since leaving Bowdoin, I am back in the town where I was born, working where I worked as a boy during vacations, and sincerely attempting to grow old gracefully. I have my wife, my home, my business, my bird dogs, and my friends. Hardly an outstanding career, but I am happy and content, and very grateful for everything. 18

Wife's Name: Ernestine Humphrey. I Children: . Ann, age 17. I Judith, age 15. Joan, age 12. I left the public schools of New Britain in 1918 for the attractive dollars offered by Pratt Sz Whitney Co. for tool design. In 1924 this career began to pall so I followed my brother's footsteps to old Bowdoin. I was admitted as a special student in 1924 and later given regular status. After gradu- ation I went to the Harvard Medical School, completing the work for an M.D. degree in 1932. That year I took time out to marry Miss Ernestine Humphrey of Pittsfield. We have three daughters, one of whom I've been told by the class secretary has a very charming personality on the telephone, and is a lot more cooperative about filling in vital statistics for this 25-year history than I am. My medical career to date is as follows: House Officer, New England Deaconess Hospital, 1931-323 Surgical interne, Massachusetts General Hos- pital, 1932-34, Resident Surgeon, Pondville Cancer Hospital, Walpole, Mass. 1934-35. Since then I've practiced surgery in Springfield, Massachusetts. I'm the visiting surgeon at the Springfield Hospital, and the assistant visiting surgeon at the Westfield Cancer Hospital.

This is going to be quite a jcb for me at my rather tender age plus the fact that it's been many years since I've lifted a pen for a thesis- however I'm off in a cloud of dust! After graduating with the great Class of 1928 I entered Jordan Marsh Training School for buyers and remained with Jordan Marsh for two years until the store entered the Hahn System. As a result of this coalition I decided to get out as I couldn't see any future for buyers. Alas! I had forgotten that Old Man Depression was roaming around and for the next few months I wasn't sure whether I was 'on foot or horsebackl' However, I landed with the United Shoe Machinery Corp. in Boston and remained with them for two years. Then the 'Old Man' caught up with them, and out I landed. After a few months I became associated with the Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. of Boston. During this period I studied at the Boston University School of Business Administration. Later I was transferred to New York City as one of their salesmen but not before I met my future wife in Boston. Then two and one-half years in New York and Brooklyn during which time I managed to be- come Renewal Sales Manager in their new Brooklyn oflice. However, New England seemed to call and back I came to enter the life insurance business with John Hancock Life Ins. Co. Needless to say, my future 19
