1940

"We are poor little sheep who have lost their way" are famous words of another Ivy College favorite song, but they also apply to us. Does anyone know the whereabouts of James A. Malaney? College mail addressed to him in Buffalo, N.Y., is being returned. And while we're looking for a "lost" classmate please don't think that your secretary got lost last month when he wrote about Dick Gary's antipollution efforts. Regrettably his secretary didn't know there was no such classmate—the item was about our own Dick Gray. Forgive me, Dick.

A note from Cecil Moore from London, England, advises that he's now European regional vice-president for Pan American under their latest corporate decentralization program. He's thoroughly enjoying life and would welcome any contact from '40's who may be passing through. Another epistle from Herb Landsman brings news of his 26-year-old son John who's teaching economics at Colby College in Waterville, Me., while younger son Herb Jr. is at Ohio Univ. "having a marvelous time." Herb's two younger daughters are at home, "very active socially and fun to have around." While on the subject of this Cincinnatian a clipping from the January 12 Boston Globe has a picture of Herb and says that he's now executive v.p.-Administration at Federated Dept. Stores. I must admit I'm confused, Herb. I thought you were exec. v.p.-Research and Operations. What's the story?

Additional clippings with pictures of illustrious classmates include one about Allan Rosenthal who is managing the Brookline (Mass.) branch office of VanSan a new direct sales marketing organization and subsidiary of Vance, Sanders and Co. Allan was formerly with Channing Co. as a division manager and vice-president of Boston Bonnie Fisheries. Also in the Boston area comes word that Gordie Wentworth has been elected a senior vice-president of the First National Bank of Boston. Cleaning up the clippings that have accumulated since before year-end, I find word on another banker. Ed Curtis Jr. of Yarmouth has become trust development officer for the Maine National Bank. He's also president of the board of trustees of North Yarmouth Academy, a trustee of the Maine Eye & Ear Infirmary, a corporator of the Maine Medical Center and the Portland Savings Bank and treasurer of the Cumberland Club. Just think, Ed was in the furniture business only two years ago! Also from the State of Maine comes word that George Cutter of Melrose, Mass., who is vice chairman of the board of Gillette has been named to the board of trustees of Bridgton (Me.) Academy.

Four months ago lawyer Hank Marlor made his debut as a performer when he acted as master of ceremonies at the annual dinner of the Naugatuck Chamber of Commerce. We don't have word on how he did but as former chairman of the Police Commission and a present member of the Board of Police Commissioners we'll bet he had an attentive audience.

In reviewing what's been written above I realize that this has been virtually a New England column so why should it end differently? A delightful luncheon was recently hosted by Harry Hoyt, v.p. of Metropolitan Life in his palatial office in New York. The guest of honor was JohnLillis in the big city from Wolfeboro, N.H., to attend the annual boat show. John operates a boat yard and sports shop on Lake Winnipesaukee and wanted to see 'what's new." Others attending besides your secretary were Ray Hotaling and Jack McDonald and John's parting words were "That both winter and summer Wolfeboro and the Lake are a great resort town and more '40's should come and enjoy themselves." Sounds just like the Chamber of Commerce!

That about wraps it up for another month as far as the news is concerned. Within the next month you'll all be hearing from Art Ostrander as the '71 Alumni Fund drive gets under way. Our class has accepted the obligation of raising $6,000 more than our quota of a year ago so Art and his hard working team of assistant class agents will all be asking for more from each and everyone of us. The needs of the College are serious, so between now and the time Art makes his plea give it some serious thought.
