If you must be a brand manager, you might just as well manage some interesting brands. J.H. Latimer Jr. certainly does - he was recently appointed brand manager for Ambassador Scotches and Martell Cognacs, which are imported by The Jos. Garneau Co. in Louisville, Ky. J.H. has responsibility in the areas of advertising, promorion, merchandising, budget, and profits for Ambassador and Martell. He also coordinates marketing programs for his two brands with the Garneau sales force. Before joining Garneau, he was in marketing management with the Colgate-Palmolive Company in New York.

As this is being written (on a rainy day in mid-May), Bob and Marjorie Staz are enjoying a pleasant and, I hope, balmy cruise down the Rhine with a group from the West Shore (Pa.) Chamber of Commerce. When he's working, Bob is owner and president of Brookwood Farms Dairy. He is a director of the Harrisburg Kiwanis Club and is active in the West Shore YMCA. Bob is past president of the Central Pennsylvania Dartmouth Club and still finds the time to interview prospects for the College. The Staz family lives in Camp Hill, Pa.

Hanny Mason has combined two of the fastest growing facets of the forms industry, computer forms and carbonless paper, into a new business - crash printing of carbonless EDP froms.

Dirck van B. Myers is a research scientist with the Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, and finds his work offers "independence," which ain't no bad thing. Dirck earned his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Washington in 1962 and was a research fellow in biology at Harvard from 1962 to 1964. He plays the piano in a 15-piece band in the Atlanta area and is an active bowler and tennis player. This fall, Dirck and his wife Judith (she is a remedial teacher) will take a work/vacation trip to Spain. The Myers live in Atlanta with their three daughters.

Dongkyu ("Don") Bak is a staff architect and planner with Stondrov & Haws in Philadelphia and candidly reports that the moist interesting thing about his job is "problems - many of them!" Don did his post-graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture. He keeps busy on the side as a clerk of a Quaker Meeting and is a member of his local zoning board. Don, his wife Elizabeth, and their three sons and one daughter live in Media, Pa.

Dr. Henry Crommelin Jr., after two tours in the U.S. Navy as line officer and Medical Corps officer, has almost completed his first year of private practice in Birmingham, Ala., in obstetrics and gynecology. Hank's outside activities have been limited to "an occasional round of golf;" hopefully, that will change as he gets settled into his new practice. "Crem" adds that he would like to restore the Indian mascot symbol and the N.R.O.T.C. at the College. Hank, his wife Mary, and their four children live in Birmingham.

Randy Nord has moved from Atlanta to Princeton Junction, N.J., where he is district manager for Kurt Salmon Associates, the management consulting firm.
