1948

This column promises to be brief - must be that the thought of our 25th has all correspondents busy making arrangements, planning wardrobes, and so forth. I know everyone has received the recent mailing with detailed plans for June 14 through 17. Dick Barlow and Dick Dahl, as co-chairmen, have done an outstanding job and it promises to be a fabulous weekend for everyone. Deposits should be in, plans made, and all systems "GO" at this point. The list of names is growing steadily and it is surprising how many of them are familiar! The Environmental Services Administration, used to be known as the U.S. Weather Bureau, has promised warm sunny perfect June weather - so if you are in doubt that should clinch it.

This is the first month that I Can ever remember without one change of address for a '48. Maybe we are settling down at last!

Dick Greene has been elected vice president and portfolio manager of the newly formed firm, The Boston Company Advisors, Inc. He has also been elected vice president of the firm's parent company, the Boston Company, Inc. The Advisors serves individuals with investable funds of between $50 and $300 thousand and has been organized specifically to serve the needs of the intermediate investor who wants professional portfolio management.

Michigan's Kelsey-Hayes Company, a major supplier to the transportation industry, has elected Ray Richard executive vice president and a director. He had been group vice president of Wallace Murray Corporation since joining that company in 1970 and also previously with Cummins Engine Company, Ltd., for four years in the United Kingdom where he was Cummins vice president world-wide operations and vice president and manufacturing director. Son Bruce is a member of the Class of 1976.

Stu Craig, Judge of the Corporation Court in Danville, Va., since 1966, recently addressed the Wednesday Club there on the subject of "The Sentencing Problem." Stu and Eleanor have lived in Danville since 1954 and have three children, ages 18, 17 and 13.

John Gustafson has also been doing the speaker's circuit. He recently spoke to the Elmira Rotary Club on '"Putting It all Together." John is a professor and chairman of biological science at the State University of New York at Cortland. He has become an authority on environmental education and is past president and current treasurer of the American Nature Study Society. He is also vice chairman of the Eastern Susquehanna Regional Water Board and vice chairman of the temporary State Commission for Youth Education in Environmental Conservation. John holds a permit from the U.S. Forest and Wildlife Service to band migratory birds so it sounds as though he has his hands full. John and Nancy are among the many planning to attend the Reunion.

Carl Felsenfeld has been elected vice president and director of C.I.T. Financial Services. He joined C.I.T. as assistant general counsel in 1958 became general counsel in 1970, and continues in that position with overall responsibility for corporate legal policy. Carl, who took his law degree at Columbia, is a consultant to the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and a member of the Special Committee on Consumer Affairs, NYC Bar Association.

If my memory is correct this is the last column before Reunion. Look over the list of attendees and if your old roomie, best friend, or whatever is not listed, drop him or them a line. Let's make it a big one - see you there!
