1959

As I write this, the usual pre-Carnival chorus of mounting female chatter and wild music blasting from the open windows of Middle Mass provides competition for my attempt to organize the gossip into decent sentences.

It could be that Geoff Hands is leaving the country just to avoid attending our 10th Reunion, but he claims he's been transferred by his firm. An associate with McKinsey & Company, Inc., international management consultants, he has moved from their Chicago to their Melbourne, Australia, office. "Down under" he will be active in firm assignments providing counsel to clients on marketing problems, profit improvement programs, executive compensation, and management organization

Governor Hughes of New Jersey recently appointed Garf DeMarco to the State Water Policy and Supply Council. Garf is currently general manager of A. R. DeMarco Enterprises, Inc., one of the state's largest cranberry and blueberry farms. The Council has jurisdiction, rights, powers, and duties relating to all water supplies, control, and supervision of the construction and maintenance of dams, flood control, drainage, irrigation, and water power. It holds hearings and must report to the State Legislature at least once a year. Mike Nolen has been named a vice president of Kidder Peabody, Inc. and John McDonnell has been promoted to Lieutenant Commander in U. S. Naval Air Intelligence. He recently spent twenty months in the war zone in the Far East. Randy Malin has been appointed director of marketing plans for American Airlines. He had served as assistant to the president and secretary of the airline's senior advisory council. How about half price on trips to Cuba, Ransk? Joe Nadeau, of the Dover, N. H., law firm of Burns, Bryant, Hinchey and Nadeau, has been elected chairman of the New Hampshire Real Estate Board for a term of one year. He is also treasurer of the Strafford County Bar Association and on the nominating committee for the New Hampshire Bar Association. I hear Tanzi is still trying to start his own bar association!

Sam Adams writes from Utah that he is kept mighty busy as an exploration geologist for the Anaconda Company, but still has time to get to the slopes quite often, including some night skiing. Sam and Nancy hope to make it back for our 10th Reunion. Lee Othon recently completed his training at Yale-New Haven Hospital and is now in private practice in oral surgery in Hanover, Mass. As of January 1, John May, who does some good work for us in enrollment, has been a partner in the Lancaster, Pa., law firm of May, Grove, Stork and Rubin. I hope this doesn't keep you from visiting a few schools, John. Terry Ceranski is now living on McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas. He was recently promoted to the rank of major and is chief of Aero Space Medicine on the base. The Ceranskis hope to return to Buffalo in July if the National Guard is de-activated. Warren Huse is also a major in the Army. He arrived at Can Tho, Vietnam, back in September and is currently Headquarters Detachment Commander for IV Corps Advisory Group. Also in the Armed Services, Art Walters is a Lieutenant Commander stationed in Hawaii and assigned to a Polaris Sub on Pacific Patrol.

That's the end of the line on clippings.

I see a number of classmates' names listed on the Alumni Interview Reports we receive here in the office as part of each candidate's application. I could start mentioning them, but I'd leave out many more than I could include. The main point is that we certainly appreciate your efforts and your insights. We only get to see about one quarter of the applicants ourselves, so it is strategic to have the reactions of alumni to add to the objective data we evaluate, which can often tell only a small part of the story.

I hope you have all heard from our regional chairman concerning Reunion and are planning to come. The more the merrier and the lighter the financial burden. So far we're behind recent 10th Reunions in projected attendance. If there's one you should attend, it's this one, for, as I have said before, the events surrounding the College's Bicentennial will make it particularly significant and memorable.

As the spring thaw loosens the ink in your pen, send me some more news.
