The mailbag is full this month so we'll forgo the fun of editorializing and swing right into the reporting chair. We're glad you're so energetic, fast-moving, and successful - it makes our job of writing this column much easier.

Ben Bowden T'55 has been promoted to Vice President at the First National Bank of Boston. Ed Weisenfeld T'52 was appointed Plant Manager for Spencer Packaging Company in Orangeburg, New York. His company, a division of Spencer Chemical converts flexible packaging film into bags and rolling stock. Tom Gately T'56 has been appointed Materials Manager for Stanley Tool's Hand Tool Division.

Jim Stephens T'37, Vice President of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company and president of the Kiwanis Club of Springfield, served as chief greeter and MC at a recent joint meeting of all civic agencies in that city. We also have a copy of a recent article entitled "Deferred Compensation or Split-Dollar" written by Jim in the Life Association News. An interesting article in a recent issue of Ski Business featured Walt Lindenthal T'51 and his campaign to make the J. C. Penney Company a significant supplier of quality ski equipment and clothing. Normally a specialty shop line, this expensive (take it from a man who lives in the north country and knows) stuff will soon be in many of Penney's ski area stores — wish you had one up here, Walt.

Roy Abbot T'53 has been named a Vice President at Chase Manhattan Bank. (Incidentally, did you catch Roy, his wife Leigh and two children on the cover of the Harvard-Dartmouth football program last fall?) Jim Hickin i '63. a salesman for the R. T. French Co., has been transferred to Springfield, Mass. Dan McCarthy T'55 recently in the Treasurer's Office at Tufts, has been appointed Director of the Graduate School of Business Administration at Northeastern University. Dan, who earned his doctorate at Harvard, will also serve as Professor of Business Management. George Martinson T'59 now working for New England Tel and Tel but only recently out of the army, has received an award for being the most outstanding non-commissioned officer of his battalion at Otis Field.

Ron Kabot T'60 has been awarded the Forbes Gold Medal by the California Society of Certified Public Accountants for an outstanding paper in recent examinations. Dwight Allison T'52, who graduated from Harvard Law School after Tuck and is now with the firm of Goodwin Procter & Hoar in Boston, has been named a member of the aviation committee for the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. Since Logan Airport is vital to this area we hope his committee does an excellent job. Tom DavidsonT'54, Vice President and Treasurer of the E. L. Reilly Company of New York, a marketing, research and consulting firm, recently lectured at a meeting of Connecticut real estate appraisers. Earlier in his career Tom earned his doctorate and taught at Northwestern and the University of Connecticut.

Al Bildner T'48, President of King's Super Markets, Inc., and a man with more extracurricular and civic duties than this column has space, was named chairman of dedications and endowments for a proposed new suburban YM-YWHA in Short Hills, N. J. Bill Lynn T'50 has been named director of business policy analysis on the corporate staff of IBM. Bill joined the company in 1954 and most recently was controller on IBM's corporate staff.

Bay Yee T'54 wrote an intriguing letter recently regarding his activities as a division controller for Janss-Hawaii Corp. developing a major resort area on the island of Maui. Sounds like an interesting and challenging life.

George is with First National City Bank in New York. JackLavine T'63 and Lana Jean Lee were mar- ried in Dallas, and Colin Campbell T'62 and Virginia Claire Byington in Chicago, both in the fall.
