Milt Blauner has been active on Wall Street for many years specializing in underwriting securities for public offering through the Milton D. Blauner & Co., Inc., 115 Broadway. Frank Bunting reports as follows:
I presume you would like to know what has happened since I left Dartmouth. I worked for the New York Telephone Company until 1929 and while in New York I got to know Lou Lewinsohn quite well. His passing was a real hurt. In 1929, I decided that the big city was no place for me so I returned to Boston and caught on with General Motors. In 1930 I married a girl from California and despite the depression years, life was good to me. During 1936 I was promoted to District Manager for Southern New England and everything looked rosy for the future. In 1938 the lightning struck. Very few of us in New England knew anything about hurricanes. I was on the road when it hit and when I returned home the only things left were the clothes I was wearing. Then along came the trouble in Europe and for the second time I was back in uniform. I landed with my crew in the Pacific with the 5th Air Force. Starting at Milne Bay, we moved up the Pacific finally landing at Tacloban Strip and on to Clark Field in the Philippines. Somewhere along the line, I can't recall just where, I ran across a copy of "The Dartmouth." What a surprise. While in the service I did a lot of thinking. Why should I be working for others when I could just as well work for myself? So in 1946 Bunting Company came into existence. We carried a complete line of hardware, TV, sporting goods, etc. The first few years were hard sledding but we finally made it. In 1965 I decided to call it quits so I dissolved the business and joined the ranks of the retired I thought. Besides being elected treasurer of a private school and warden of the church, we formed a retired Business Men's Club. Also during the months of January, February, and March, I make six dozen fishing rods for which I have a standing order. So I do manage to remain "unretired."
