assumed charge of all the Bank’s Brazilian branches in November 1966. Repatriated in August of last year with responsibility for all overseas operations involving branches and affiliates in 31 countries. In 1956 I was married to the former Dora Dc Jan of Havana and we now live with our two children in Dover, Mass, eighteen miles from Boston. NVe are in the process of adapting ourselves to life in the U.S. and have started off with an active interest in skiing. My work takes me abroad constantly and I expect the whole family to participate in a great deal of world travel in the years to come. During my years in Cuba I remained active in the Air Force Reserve in Florida and continue to hold a commission. In Brazil we were partial to outdoor life and I was Acting President of the Dartmouth Club of Brazil at the time of my departure. Retirement seems far too remote for us to contemplate any plans at the moment. ERNEST JOHN ALEXANDER Swoosc Best-Luthcr Road, R.D.

Lincoln, Massachusetts Director of Public Relations, The Kendall Company—Hospital and health care products WIFE: Carol (Brumond) (Lascll 1943) CHILDREN: Susan L., 22, Boston Univ., ’70; Mark C., 21, Ripon College, 73; Martha W.. 17. High School. ’71. I was at the other end of one of those broomstick rifles in N. Fayer when we played rat-a-tat-tat down the stairwell after hearing the news of Pearl Harbor. A Navy “V” program looked good to me but I got lost squinting from the 20 foot line and in Feb. '43. I volunteered to be drafted into the Mountain troops, later the 10th Mtn. Division that trained at Camp Hale, Colorado. In 1944, I married Carol Brumond of Tarry town, NY on one of those furlough weddings where the groom arrived by delayed train in the morning and the guests (feeling desolate about all of the gas coupons expended) assembled to witness the event in the afternoon. Other wartime grooms shared my thought about leaving a widow and for a while in 1944-45, it looked as though the worry might have some substance. I was wounded in Italy and spent a few months in the hospital, (now, of course, I am a very model of physical fitness). Carol languished in New York working while 1 was overseas for the year and, some months before I was expected to return, she transferred her languish to Hanover and became the secretary to a new man on the job—George Colton ’35, who is now the vice president of the college. I got out in ’46 and was graduated in June of ’48 in Sociology and English. I then took a year of graduate work in English at Columbia and. after the comps that I will take this year, or the year after next or perhaps a little later, I will have a Masters in English. During a visit to Hanover after Columbia, I was hired by the College as a writer and worked in the Secretary’s office doing mostly public relations things—films, magazines, functions—until ’59 when 1 departed as Assistant Secretary to become the first Director of Public Relations of the Kendall Company at its Corporate Headquarters in Boston. And there I remain. With all of the above, we had three Hanover-born children: Susan, 22, is now a senior at Boston University (after Gouchcr and the Univ. of Wisconsin); Mark is a freshman at Ripon College and Martha is a junior in our high school. We live in Lincoln, Mass; a town small enough to give meaning to self-government. Carol has been President of the League of Women Voters in Lincoln and a member of the State Board and I have spent a number of years teaching Sunday school while in Hanover and Lincoln and have been on the Lincoln planning Board for 6 years, the last 3 as Chairman. Carol works full time in the library of the Harvard Business School. We ski all that we can and are enthusiastic sailors. Carol and I chartered a sloop in the Penobscot Bay last summer and the previous spring sailed with friends from St. Thomas to Newport, Rhode Island. We are convinced that we together have some far horizons in our future. 10
