Tuck School
WE AT THE SCHOOL especially enjoy having the graduates pay us a visit as often as possible, not only from a personal standpoint but also from the standpoint of profiting and learning from their business experience since leaving Tuck. That they often have much to contribute was well illustrated in late December when Frederick C. Tetzlafi T'32 spent a few days' vacation in Hanover. Fred now holds a very responsible position with the plastics firm, Rohm and Haas. At the regular Thursday luncheon of the faculty he related some of his interesting experiences since leaving Tuck, and also described the problems of running a war plant.
Kirt A. Meyer T'31 has been appointed merchandise counselor in charge of the women's accessory departments of R. H. Macy & Company.
Howard P. Warren T'14 has been appointed president of the Minute Tapioca Company by the General Foods Corporation.
John Paidar D'43 finds time away from his duties at Emil J. Paidar Co. to conduct a class as a member of the War Training Faculty of Illinois Institute of Technology.
Ensign Ralph Reith D'44 was a recent visitor at Tuck en route from his training at Midshipmen's School in Chicago to Miami.
C. A. Hall T'33 keeps very busy in the Steel Division of the War Production Board in Washington.
Thomas L. Norton T'24, on leave from his teaching duties at the University of Buffalo, is acting chairman of the regional War Labor Board for that area.
A recent letter from Sven B. Karlen T'36 tells of the arrival of Sven Jr. last September, and also of his induction into the Army. Sven has been doing an outstanding job with Time, Inc., and expects to sume his work with them after the war. Mrs. Karlen has moved to the East for the duration, and is living at 16 Essex Place, Bronxville, New York.
Thomas H. K. Osterberg T'42 was married on January 1 to Miss Jeanne-Marie LeNormand de Bretteville. The marriage took place in New York City in the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration. Our best, Tom!
The flu epidemic has not overlooked members of the Tuck staff. Misses Pierce and Ruiter, and Messrs. Frey, Sargent, Olsen, Wellman and Woodworth have been victims at one time or another during the past month.
Mr. Foster spent several days in Washington during the second week of December in his capacity as a consultant to the Rubber Section of the O.P.A.
Mr. Feldman was also in Washington the third week of December to attend a meeting of the Special Committee on post war labor standards and social security of which he is a member.
Former students and friends of Professor N. G. Burleigh will be interested in hearing that "Nat" can now appropriately be addressed as "Grandpa." A daughter, Nancy Burley Hewitt, was born in December to Mrs. John H. Hewitt, formerly Barbara Burleigh.
The Tuck School faculty attended a surprise birthday luncheon on January 11, given by Mrs. Duncombe in honor of the professor himself. He was given a very special welcome to dwell upon the "plateau of, the thirties" until the time when life really begins.
Another very pleasant social occasion took place at the School on December 24. Mrs. Pierce, librarian, invited the faculty and their wives and thirty or more from Baker Library staff to a tea. The Foyer, where the party was held, was appropriately decorated in the motif of the Christmas Season.
