1951
If you read the May 27 Newsweek, you saw "Bing" Broido's picture. If you read the June 29 Business Week, you saw a picture of someone whom the caption labeled as "Bing" but who wasn't. He was Stephen E. Weil, administrator of New York's Whitney Museum of American Art. And therein lies a tale of incredibly faithful art reproductions.
"Bing" is executive vice president for marketing of Tiffany Color, Inc., a subsidiary of Slide-O-Chrome Corp., which is a major entity in the film strip and quantity slide and color film specialty business for government and industrial use. Among other things, the company makes the huge color transparencies used by Kodak in its advertising displays in New York's Grand Central Station.
The highly sophisticated photographic techniques developed through very special work, primarily for the government, provided the key for duplicating exactly the tone and texture of any painting. Thereupon was founded a joint venture with the Whitney Museum to reproduce (on a reduced scale to prevent fraud) 20 paintings, the reproductions to sell from $40 to $125 each.
Following graduation, "Bing" had a brief tour of duty with an advertising agency, then spent 15 years doing product development work for Raymor, a home furnishings design and distribution company. He joined Tiffany in April of this year. He and wife Lois live in an old three-story house over a bakery shop in New York's Gramercy Park area with daughters Belinda, 16; Lisa, 11; and Amy, 10.
His fellow New Yorker, "Woody" Klein has left the City administration to join IBM as a senior writer and editor in the company's communications department. He, wife Audrey, and daughter Wendy, 4½., have taken up residence in Westport, Conn., where "Woody" will write a column about local personalities, entitled "Out of the Woods," for "The Daily Town Crier."
He was Mayor Lindsay's first press secretary and, most recently, assistant administrator for public affairs of New York's housing superagency. The Mayor responded to "Woody's" retirement from public life with a letter of lavish praise. A former reporter and columnist for the "New York World-Telegram and Sun," he is an adjunct associate professor of journalism at N.Y.U.
Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory has appointed Don Jorgensen Manager of S7G Development and Test (whatever that may be). Don joined Knolls as a test engineer in 1953 after receiving his M.S. in mechanical engineering from Thayer School. In 1956-57 he attended the AEC's Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Don has held a number of supervisory and managerial positions in the DIG and NPE Projects (???) and received a Management Award in 1959 for carrying out the development of the DIG fuel cluster design from the conceptual stage to completed detailed drawings. He was most recently Project Engineer in Advance Core Development of the Operating Nuclear Plants organization. Don, wife June, Roger, 13; Donna, 11; and Daryl, 10, live in Burnt Hills, N.Y.
Kit Fuller, whose joining Acme Visible Records in Crozet, Va., as financial vice president was reported in June, has been elected a director and Treasurer of the Company. He, wife Carolyn, and daughters Katie, 7, and Pam, 5, reside in Charlottesville. Andy Pincus has moved up to tele- graph editor of the Pittsfield, Mass., "Berkshire Eagle." The promotion puts him in charge of the front page.
Wally Bush has been elected a director of First Edina (Minn.) National Bank. A lawyer with an LL.B. from the University of Minnesota, Wally is president of the Northstar Financial Corp., parent corporation of the Minnesota North Star hockey club.
If you read the first page of the New York Times' business and finance section on September 20, you saw "Suds" Bissell's picture. The Financial Analysts Federation, of which he is president, seemed upset about the Texas Gulf Sulphur decision and the SEC's action against Merrill Lynch.
WAR NOTES: John Hoskins graduated from the National War College, Washington, D. C., on May 31.... Air Force Major Bill Farnham has been assigned to Vietnam. ... Air Force Major Bill Rentier, an S.A.C. operations staff officer, has been transferred from March AFB, Riverside, Calif., to Offutt AFB, Neb. Bill saw service both in Korea and Vietnam.
Mike Heyman, law professor at Berkeley, has been assigned by the President's National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence to the study of demonstrations, protests, and group violence. Harry McCaffrey, chairman of the Newtown (Conn.) High School English department, has been elected chairman of Community Action - Newtown.
Nels Bryant '46 reported in his New York Times' column "Wood, Field and Stream" receiving a communication from Ted Laskin, "who once pushed this writer's sailboat over a mile of oyster beds when the late afternoon wind died, and managed simultaneously [to] gather half a bushel of shellfish during his ordeal." Ted had forwarded a clipping about the death of steelheads (sea-run rainbow trout) in two streams in his California Lower Bay area as a result of the washing of pesticide spraying equipment in a creek.
Jim Lowell makes the news both insurancewise and politically. He was owner of the Farmington Valley (Conn.) Insurance Agency, which was recently merged with two others. He was president of the Farmington Valley Association of Independent Insurance Agents and is presently state director of the Connecticut Association of Independent Insurance Agents. He is a Major in the Army Reserve Command and General Staff School.
Jim is also seeking his fifth term in the Connecticut General Assembly. He has been a member of the appropriations, rules, welfare, human institutions, state development, and claims committees. He is a member of the Canton High School's Building Committee, volunteer fire companies, and the Canton Republican Town Committee. He, wife Barbara, and four children live in Collinsville, Conn.
In last month's column, I alluded to a Letter to the Editor I had written with respect to the Newton valedictory and the controversy which it generated. An abbreviated version appears in the appropriate section of this issue.
You may agree or disagree with my viewpoint; but I sincerely hope that, regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, you will agree that Dartmouth both needs and merits your continuing support and that you will provide that support.
