1951
Paul Staley is now headquartered in Philadelphia as director of manufacturing for Philadelphia Quartz Co., manufacturer of soluble silicates with 15 plants in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Soluble silicates are widely used in detergents, cleaning compounds, and catalysts. While Paul is house hunting, his family is still in Long Beach, Calif., where he was a Procter & Gamble plant manager.
Fred Chandler, president of National Screw & Manufacturing Co., has been elected to the board of directors of Lake County (Ohio) National Bank. National Screw's new plant at Mentor, Ohio, will be one of the largest industrial operations in the county.
Fred was vice-president, general manager, and a director of Chandler Products Corp. of Euclid when it was acquired in 1964 by National Screw. He is currently also vice-president of Monogram Industries, Inc., of Los Angeles, which acquired National Screw in 1967. Fred, wife Jane, son John, and daughters Cathy, Christie, and Carolyn live in Pepper Pike Village, Cleveland.
Last November John Ferguson became director of data processing for Phelps Dodge Corp. and its subsidiary companies. Located in New York City, he was previously a manager in the Management Advisory Services Division of Price Waterhouse & Co. engaged in management consulting activities within the computer field. John, wife Nancy, and 2-year-old daughter Caroline have an apartment in Manhattan but hope to become suburbanites soon.
Stu Johnson is now chief engineer for Macklett Labs in Stamford, Conn. While waiting to sell their house, his family is still located in Fort Wayne, Ind., except for 12-year-old son Lawrence. Larry is spending the year in Japan with his grandfather and attending Yokohama International Junior High School learning Japanese, among other things.
Earie Tyler is running for selectman in Duxbury, Mass. Between college and Boston University School of Law, from which he was graduated in 1959, Earle spent four and a half years as a jet pilot in the Air Force. He is a partner in the Boston law firm of Richardson and Tyler. Earle was an original member of Duxbury's Conservation Commission in 1963 and in 1967 was appointed to the town Finance Committee.
I presently have a case in Chicago which takes me periodically to the Windy City. On a trip there in January, I spent a pleasant Sunday evening at the Hendersons' with Pete and Nancy, Dave Hilton, Reed Badgley, and Ted Davidson. The only one of that group who has not appeared in this column in the last year or so is Ted, who is operations manager of the Chicago office of Patent Scaffolding Co., a division of Harsco. Ted, wife Ellie, Sue, 13; Tom, 10; Peggy, 6; and Peter, 2, live in suburban Wilmette.
During the course of the evening, it was pointed out to me that it was a bit unfair for me to badger classmates for news when my only activities which have ever been reported in this magazine concern Dartmouth alumni affairs. Since I'm a bit short on news this month anyway, perhaps this is as good a time as any to tell you something about my non-Dartmouth activities.
After Hanover, it was the Yale Law School, where I was an editor of the law review and a member of Barristers' Union and from which I was graduated in 1954, along with five other Dartmouth classmates. I then taught legal writing for a year at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. The following year. I clerked for the Hon. John Biggs Jr.. Chief Judge of the U.S. Third Judicial Circuit.
In July 1956 I became associated with a small, struggling law firm in Philadelphia by the name of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, where I still am and which now has over 100 lawyers there and in Washington and Harrisburg, Pa. I do primarily, but not exclusively, antitrust defense work. My Chicago case involves representation of an antitrust plaintiff, and I have had the opportunity to work on two constitutional law cases which went to the U.S. Supreme Court involving Girard College and Sunday laws.
Apart from Dartmouth, my major extracurricular activity has been the Boy Scouts. During college and law school, I spent five summers as a provisional Scoutmaster in a Scout summer camp. Upon graduation from law school, I was drafted to become, and served for five and a half years as, Scout-master of the troop of which I had been a member as a boy. In 1960, I was Scout-master of a National Jamboree Troop in Colorado Springs. I then became District Activities Chairman and am now District Training Chairman.
In addition, I have served as treasurer and vice-president, and am now president, of the Phi Beta Kappa Association of Philadelphia. I have also been secretary and president of the Yale Law School Association of Philadelphia and its regional representative on the national Yale Law School Association Executive Committee. Maybe I have had time to do all of this because I am still a bachelor.
In an adjacent column appears a picture of me taken when I was on a Caribbean cruise in December. The reason for publishing it is to establish that, by the simple expedient of drinking my martinis with lemon peel instead of olives, I have achieved an amazing weight reduction, to the point where my senior jacket again fits.
