1938

"Appointment of Richard E. Keresey of 32 Erwin Park Road, Montclair, N. J., as General Counsel was announced this week by the Esso Standard Division of Humble Oil and Refining Company," says the press release from the oil company's ivory tower in Manhattan. Now you know that's pretty good counseling. Bet it's one of the best corporate law jobs in the land. So, good luck and congratulations from us all, Dick. We understand that the Keresey Kid made the jump from the assistant job after joiningHumble from the W. R. Grace and Company. Besides at Hanover, Dick got this way through scholarship in Paris (in the winter) and Columbia Law School where he was on the Board of Editors of the Law Review. He's now a member of the Board of Visitors of Columbia Law School. Sounds similar to the gals that meet you in Radio City when you go on tour, but Dick's job makes it legal. Dick had quite a record as Commander of a motor torpedo squadron around the buzzing Solomon Islands in World War II days. Sounds like he served with guys I know like Alex Hamm, Gomer Davis and perhaps, political aspirant, John Kennedy.

Eddie Perrin writes that he is married to Janet "Perrin." Now; isn't that news? All we say is: We certainly hope so. And they have two fine kids: Sally and Stew. And Eddie has the same enthusiasm that a guy trained behind the plate would always have. When he's not managing industrial sales for the Plimpton Hills Corporation in Hartford. Eddie is running the Enrollnjent job for Dartmouth in the Twelfth District ... and I'll betcha he's doing a job of it. He's also Vice President of the Board of Governors of Kingswood School, a Little League Manager, a football official in the fall and, yes, a Latin tutor, active in the Heart Drive and a Republican Politician. Keep it up, Eddie. We look forward to seeing you before 1963.

Another Republican leader is Lew Harriman of Buffalo who recently was named head of the Erie County GOP Finance Committee. A bank officer in Buffalo, Lew is a municipal bond expert. He ought to work with Cotter on the refreshment plans for 1963, putting 10 work some of the experience gained from GOP $1,000 a plate Dinners.

A real happy note is that Slattery is marrying Bristow. That's what the little headline says in the San Francisco Examiner ... and we all should be very pleased and wish this nice couple all the love, luck, and happiness in the world. The wedding is slated for April 30 in Hillsboro, near the Golden Gate. Barbara Bristow's home is there, and the news we have about her is wonderful. She's a University of California graduate and a Kappa Kappa Gamma. Slats, originally from Bronxville, N. Y., followed the sun to its setting place off San Francisco Bay. He's in the insurance business there.

Robert Hallock makes the news again. This time it's for a speaking engagement in Rutland, Vt. Bob is in training, accident and sickness sales for Paul Revere Life Insurance Company of his native Worcester, Mass.

"Doc" Butler was as much Phi Beta Kappa as the writer. And I guess we both would claim that we could have been, but we just didn't wanna. Anyway, it's good to be thinking and writing about "Doc." That is the nice part of this job. I get all the good news and fond memories first. So now "Doc" is President of the McDougall-Butler Paint Company and a wheel in the national paint and lacquer industries. He was recently quoted in the industry's leading journal, Paint Industry, and they ran a determined picture of him. The face hasn't changed much ... perhaps a little less hair. They tell me "Doc" was a Captain, USA, Anti-Aircraft Artillery in Europe and Africa in World War 11. He is married to the former Gertrude Walsh and there are five children.

Dick Nelson has made the move from Los Angeles to New York where he is Vice President and Sales Manager of the Philadelphia Carpet Company. The Nelsons live in Darien, Conn., and squeezed in a trip to Europe last year.

Tommie Mayne has written us for Fred to say that the family is now in Florence, Italy, where Fred runs the European Operation for the J. C. Penny Company. It is a buying function and Fred lines up markets for the visiting Penny buyers. For instance, he was in Egypt to buy cotton when Tommie wrote. He is to go to Paris and London and set up buying offices there. The Maynes have been abroad since last October. They live in a real castle complete with treasures and an oil burner. Sons Rick and Steve are studying in Switzerland and daughter Rosalind is in Florence. As for Tommie, she is "studying Italian, soaking up art and having a ball."

The new Controller of the Chemical Bank and Trust Company of New York is A. R.South worth. Robert Lang of Stamford, Conn., has been named Vice President in charge of News for the Columbia Broadcasting System.

Lord Baltimore Press, New York, announced in February that Bill Lyle has joined them as Eastern Division Sales Manager. The firm manufactures folding paper boxes. Bill had been with the Nashua Corporation for some years and had become sales manager of all their flexible packaging divisions. He is former chairman of the Waxed Paper Institute, and was president of the Dartmouth Club of Nashua, N. H., in 1957-58. As of March 11, the Lyles —Bill, Betty, and the kids — were still residing at North River Road, Milford,

Manufacturers of bedspreads, towels, dish cloths, combed fabrics, tire cord and yarns is the Morgan-Jones Company of 404 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Husband of Tommy for twenty years now; father of Tucky, a junior at Deerfield; Gardy, a junior at Miss Porter's; Dawsie, a nine-year-old Little Leaguer, and Hatsie, just one and one half years and maybe the beginning of a new group, is a guy who describes himself as "too fat... too old ... no hair ... a guy who gets around because he has credit cards." Now you and I know better than this because this guy plays good tennis and golf and he always gives a great lift whenever you meet him . .. Whitey Mays. And, things are good by him, he writes.

The ALUMNI MAGAZINE is printed at the Vermont Printing Company in Brattleboro where Dick Sherwin is General Manager. He's also running a big family with Eunice and the four kids, and the community such as the Chamber, the Chest, and the Scouts take a good share of his time. Travel is out, says Dick, until the kids finish college.

Don't know why we mention Woodman in this column. He damn near got me divorced. He's a district sales manager with that perfume outfit, Houbigant. . . and that stuff he makes stinks nice. Well, I carried the letter from him in a suit pocket and it smelled me up like a French you-know-what. The envelope was lined with sweet smell and it took a lot of tell for me to avoid a lot of hell.... Say, Dick, send me some more of that stuff ... prrrrrrrrr.

Bob Emlen is in with a guy named Peterson as manufacturers' representatives in the electronics industry in Radnor, Penna., just outside Philadelphia and right off the Pennsylvania Turpike. The Emlens have three sons and a daughter. Sailing and fishing are the family sports.

I missed the New York Class Dinner. Will report on this next month when other news may be scarce.

Oh yea - Pete Schaefer, our Mister Moneybags, says we're not doing so well in class dues payments. Get it up. boys. It's a big, big world and friends are few enough. Let's support the friendships we have.
