1960

Fall seems to arrive earlier each year. The foliage had peaked in Hanover when Alice and I and the kids arrived for the Holy Cross game, and the temperature more closely resembles mid-November which is about the time you will read these notes. I hope by then the second half of the Holy Cross game will have proven to be the rule rather than the exception for this football season. Win or lose, the Class is 100 percent behind you, Jake.

I did not see any '60s in Hanover for the Holy Cross game, but perhaps that was because I was watching the Red Sox on television for about half of the game. I do expect to see a number of you during the Harvard weekend. Alice and I will be hosting the executive committee meeting the evening before the game.

Al Stowe sent me a copy of a letter that he sent to Gene Kohn last July. Al mentions that Eric Sailor, who had been practicing obstetrics in Saranac Lake, N.Y., with Butch Virostek for the past few years, has decided to return to Hanover as of August 1 and will be affiliated with Mary Hitchcock Hospital. Butch will carry on alone delivering all the babies with a 50 mile radius in upstate New York. Al also mentions that Eric Anderson became a first-time proud father of one Molly Anderson in late May. Congratulations to Eric and Ellen!

Word has been received from Connecticut General Life Insurance Company that RickLyman has been appointed assistant secretary of group insurance operations. Rick joined Connecticut General in 1963 in group sales, three years later joined group underwriting and was named an underwriter in 1968. He has been serving as senior underwriter since 1972. Rick lives in Simsbury, Conn.

Sam French a staff architect with Vincent G. Kling & Partners, Philadelphia architects, planners and engineers, has been appointed an associate of that firm. Sam received his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. He joined the Kling organization in 1967 and has worked on such projects as the A.T. & T. corporate headquarters in Basking Ridge, N.J., the IBM office building in Franklin Lakes, N.J., and the master plan and office building for Bolling/Anacostia in Washington D.C.

Harry Bruckner, who has for the past few years been very active in the Greater Boston Alumni Association, is now playing a leading role in trying to reorganize and revitalize the Minute Man Alumni Club which covers the Boston suburban area where I live. I was slightly embarrassed to find that I was the only alumnus in the area to attend a reorganization meeting to which 450 alumni had been invited. Where have all you Minute Men been hiding in our Bicentennial year? Harry has a new position as senior account executive for the school and college division of Seiler Corp. in Waltham, Mass., a company involved with management of dining services. He will be responsible for schools and colleges in New England.

I recently received a press release announcing that Bob Caulfield, formerly assistant manager of the Baltimore Symphony, has been appointed the new general manager of the San Jose Symphony Orchestra. Bob assumed these duties in mid-July and was chosen from a field of more than 100 applicants from many parts of the country. Bob received a Masters degree in Business at Harvard in 1966, worked for three years with IBM in Boston and then worked for CBS television in broadcasting for seven years until he finally opted for the arts management field and left CBS to take over the Baltimore Symphony a couple of years ago.

May I remind you to pay your class dues to Arnie Sigler, if you have not already done so. At Class Officers Weekend last May, I received the rather disturbing statistic that only 45 per cent of the Class of 1960 paid its dues last year. The average for the Classes of 1951-60 is 55 per cent. We are the lowest on the list. The Classes of 1961-65 each have a higher percentage of classmates paying their dues than the Class of 1960.
