1943

In the March column were listed the regional agents helping out Ed Lider but, because of your secretary's advance deadline, did not contain some last-minute changes. In the Northeast, John Pritchard has replaced Al McBean, Phil Bowie has replaced BradCole for the Washington/Maryland/Virginia area, and Bodie Mosenthal has replaced John Conn in the Midwest. Your enthusiastic response to their pleadings for the Alumni Fund will be gratefully received.

Charlie Donovan will be leading a group of us up to Hanover the first weekend in May for the class officers' meeting. Hopefully your secretary will have some interesting things to report from the College. El Presidente has been moving about recently and reports running into Bud Hall at the Cleveland Airport and he and Ruth sawGeorge Munroe in New York.

Had occasion to call around New England recently and found that Phil and ShirleyJackson were off in the Bahamas. JuddWaldron, who has been working with the Strawbery Banke restoration in Portsmouth, reports that he is up to his ears with trial work and taxes, but ran into Mort Turtle at the Brick Tower Motel in Concord. Judd and wife Joan who have a four-year-old daughter, get up regularly to the Lake Sunapee area in the summers. Ed and DottieLider report having seen Jack Kimball, a partner in Hale and Dorr and erstwhile town moderator in Topsfield, Mass. Ed also reports hearing from Jack Troster on the West Coast, who hopes to get east soon for a visit — why not the Fall Reunion?

Here in Washington, Laddie Ingraham has been nominated by the President for promotion to Class 2 in the Foreign Service as a result of a recommendation from the Foreign Service Selection Board. State's press release indicates that Laddie has been stationed in Cochabamba, La Paz, Hong Kong, Perth, Madras, Djakarta, and Rangoon. Sticking to the seat of all knowledge and wisdom, the Washington Post recently carried a story that Tom Schroth, who helped start the National Journal, is seeking still greener pastures. We'll pass on his new spot when it is announced.

Moving north and east, Mike Diaz, president and a director of American Export Isbrandtsen Lines, Inc., has been elected vice-chairman.

Jim Elleman, president of the Trust Conpany National Bank in Morristown, N. J., will become chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the combination of that bank and the Montclair National Bank and Trust Company when they merge. The most interesting aspect of the press clipping we received was the reference to James D. Elleman, age 40! We knew he was young, but we didn't know he was that young.

Further on up in New England, JohnKeefe, who now lives in Amherst, N. H., has been named an assistant secretary of Sanders Associates in Nashua, N. H. John joined Sanders as corporate counsel in December 1968, and continues in that post as well.

In these days of trying to solve urban problems, it is nice to find one of our classmates in the forefront. Al Crowley, director of urban affairs for the New England Telephone Company, is a leader in the field. As recently reported by the New Bedford newspapers: "In his present job, he formulates, develops and coordinates urban affairs activities, policies and objectives within the company and also is the liaison between New England Telephone and various urban related individuals and groups, community and government agencies."

John Lovewell '44 who has been in Bangkok for nearly two years as a sanitary engineer, is shown in Chiang Mai with his wife Beth and three sons, Mark, 17, andtwins Jack Jr. and Frank, 15. They are returning home in early summer.
