Tuck School

Back at the old stand and, needless to say, I am glad to be writing this column again. Recovery has been excellent and I am back at the desk full time. My sincere thanks and gratitude to all who wrote following the accident I very much appreciated your concern.

The mailbox is full so let's get to the business at hand. John O. ZimmermanT'33 has been elected president of General Motors Acceptance Corporation. John joined General Motors in 1934 and rose to the rank of director" and executive vice president before assuming his new position. Herb Knight T'52 has been named vice president - marketing and a member of the Board of Directors of B. K. Johl, Inc., the Canadian affiliate of Ail-Steel Equipment Com- pany.

Bruno T'65, owner of New York's Pen and Pencil Restaurant, manages to keep extra busy by teaching a course in Law, Economics and Advertising at the Wood School in New York. If your course is as good as your steak, John, you must be a very successful teacher.

Dave Marshall T'64 has been appointed product manager - foods for the northeast region of Mobil Chemical Company's Plastics Division. It sounds as if Mobil is now in the food business but actually Dave will be responsible for various packaging products such as polyethylene food bags and various types of meat and produce trays.

Henry H. Honiss T'61 was elected assistant vice president of the Connecticut Bank and Trust Company earlier in the spring. He is with CBT's treasurer's department at the main office in Hartford and manages the bank's investment portfolio. Another bit of older news concerns HarryD.

He is enjoying his work and new life in the nation's capital.

The Tuck School alumni in the Chicago area are banding together. Plans are being made for a Tuck Alumni Association of Chicago meeting sometime in February and notice of the affair will be sent to all alumni in that area soon. Giving a title to the organization is somewhat presumptuous but it is hoped that this will be the outcome of the initial dinner meeting. I had the pleasure of meeting with a group of Chicago alumni recently and these men are working out the details. Dean Hennessey, the faculty and I look forward to meeting with you in February. I hope that all Chicago area alumni will take notice and participate in this first dinner meeting.

By the time you read this, the Christmas holidays will be over and 1969 will be in full swing. We at Tuck eagerly anticipate the months ahead. As expressed in previous columns, the future is exciting and the boundaries unlimited. Tuck is on the move and we look forward with all of you to the interesting and challenging future.

Best regards from the hills.
