1951

Since this is a family magazine, it seems appropriate to start this month's column with a soft drink rather than a beer or something harder. "Kit" Fuller is the new president of Pepsi-Cola Metropolitan Bottling Company, Inc., of Purchase, N.Y. A wholly owned subsidiary of Pepsi-Cola Company, Pepsi Metro operates 18 bottling plants throughout the United States, employs over 4,500 persons, and contributes approximately 18% of Pepsi's total sales volume. "Kit" joined the parent company in 1971 as vice president-financial administration.

Immediately before that, Tuck School M.B.A. "Kit" was president of Acme Visible Records, Inc., Charlottesville, Va„ a manufacturer of business equipment and forms. He, wife Carolyn, and their three children reside in Waccabuc, N.Y.

Aluminum Company of America has named Al Le Clair manager - automotive industry sales. Operating out of the company's Pittsburgh, Pa., headquarters, he will direct the overall marketing activities of four sales divisions: passenger automotive, commercial automotive, highway, and wheel products. Al joined Alcoa in 1953 as a sales engineer in New York. He held various sales positions prior to his appointment in 1970 as vice president and general manager of HC Products Co., an Alcoa subsidiary. He became president of HC Products in 1971.

Ed Weisenfeld has apparently decided that the grass is greener in the banking field than it is in the banks' customers' fields. In January, he became an assistant vice president in the Corporate Research Department of Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., New York.

Ed's department performs company and industry analyses for the bank and financial consulting for corporate clients. At present, he is responsible for the container and packaging industry as well as the emerging pollution control industry. That sounds like a cradle-to-grave operation, packaging and disposing of packaging.

In his spare time, Ed is doing his bit to preserve the remaining green in northeastern New Jersey where he lives. He led a local citizen effort fight against the Bergen County Park Commission which succeeded in preventing the destruction of a local natural wildlife area. As a result, the mayor of Glen Rock, N.J., appointed Ed to the Town Planning Board.

While New York stock brokers are going broke, they must be doing well in Palm Beach, Fla. The local branch of Herzfeld & Stern, members, New York Stock Exchange, which JoeMcDonald manages, is expanding its facilities to provide space for more account executives.

An hirsute Pete Martin, senior editor of Money, a new Time Inc. magazine, is trying to convince the reading public that his magazine is not aimed at the likes of Joe's clients. To quote Pete in a Minneapolis speech: "The feeling at first was the magazine was aimed at rich audiences. But it's not. It's for anyone who has discretionary money - money that isn't all going into food and shelter."

Ted Glaser bridges the gap from the business world, in which he keeps a toehold, to academia. While still consulting in the business world, Ted now is a professor, chairman of the Computing and Information Sciences Department, and head of the Computing Center at Case-Western Reserve U. in Cleveland, Ohio.

He and wife Anne have a 10th grade son Eliot and a 6th grade daughter Chery. They praise the cultural opportunities available in Cleveland, particularly at Case-Western. They make it sound almost like Hanover, which is my lead-in to news from the campus.

College Librarian Ed Lathem now carries the additional title of Dean of Libraries. His original title goes back to the founding of the College. His added one is intended to stress the institution-wide scope of his assignment and better reflect its character as an academic administrative post.

Ed is the College's 15th librarian. In addition to his Dartmouth A.8., he holds an M.S. in Library Sciences from Columbia and a D. Phil, from Oxford, awarded in 1961. Ed joined the Baker Library Staff in 1952 as assistant to the librarian. He was appointed Assistant Librarian in 1958, Associate Librarian in 1960, and Librarian in 1968.

I close this column with the happy news, of which most, if not all, of you should now be aware, that I once again have some competition. Our Class Newsletter, Fifty-One Fables, is now back in business under the editorship of PeteBogardus of 31 Magdalena Court, Mill Valley, Calif. 94941. (Please send him, as well as me, news.)

I have always wondered about our newsletter's name, which may have been appropriate when Al Karcher was its editor. I hope that "Bogie" will stick more closely to the facts. The most recent facts include two class gatherings in the San Francisco Bay area.

I assume that "Bogie" hosted the first. PeirceMcKee hosted the second shortly thereafter. Peirce and wife Roxy have three strapping sons, the oldest of whom, Jeff, has received considerable recognition for his football talents and is a strong prospect for the Dartmouth freshman team this fall. A family photo appears nearby.

Three major mountain ranges and thousands of miles make our West Coast classmates (California has our third largest state representation) unfortunately remote from Hanover Plain. I could not be happier over the fact that the initiative for the revival of our Class Newsletter came from our auslanders. It proves that, in spite of distances, we still have a '51 family!

Jim Myers '50, president of FlaglerSystems, operator of the Palm BeachBreakers, and himself a 3-year varsity man,was host to the Green Team in Palm Beach.With Jim (l to r) are Andy Oldenburg, BillKellogg, Mark Friedman, and Bill Jr. '74.

The Peirce McKee '51 family of Orinda,Calif., may lack balance on the distaff side,but appears otherwise well-balanced: (l to r)son Jeff, a football star who may decide tohead for Hanover: son Jim: Peirce; sonJohn: and wife Roxy.
