Happy Easter and joyous portent for a glorious spring.
Bob Frank from Scarsdale, N. Y., has just changed jobs leaving the CIT Corporation where he was a vice president to become a vice president of Pepsico Service Leasing Company (subsidiary of PepsiCo. Inc.) and will still be engaged in the leasing business for such "minor" equipment as jet planes, heavy industrial equipment, etc. In addition Bob has just been appointed president of the Westchester County Playland Commission which operates Westchester Beach and Amusement Park in Rye, N. Y. Though this sounds like a tremendous amount of work, it is an unpaid community service job and Bob deserves congratulations for tackling it. A very interesting note arrived from another classmate who forgot to sign his name but should be easily identifiable as the chairman of the Geology and Geography Department of Bucknell University. With two daughters, Abby and Jill and a son Bruce plus a beagle and a collie pup and wife Cindy the name should be forthcoming from somebody. Our unsigned classmate is presently in the middle of a two-year research project in Norway and taking the family there this coming summer. Again name please.
Another traveling '47 with a glamorous area to cover is Hal Johnston. He is a Market Development Supervisor for Caterpillar, responsible for governmental and industrial power markets in Canada and Latin America. He helps support the airlines having traveled 55,000 miles in 1968. In the course of those travels he ran into his ex-roommate, Jim Lightner in Puerto Rico.
