1947
It's great to be able to wind up the year with some interesting notes from all over.
The Nuclear Age has a special meaning for Norm Falkln. Still working for the Long Island Lighting Co., he is involved in trying to get two nuclear-powered generating plants licensed so the company can build them in the early 1980s. He's now project manager.
"The way utility rates have been going, it's very interesting being 'one of the bad guys,' " Norm writes. He began getting gray hairs during his three years as purchasing manager. And now? "This nuclear business has me all gray."
On the eve of his 24th wedding anniversary, Bill Wright sent along a card. He is a U.S. District Judge in San Diego. Bill and Bette have two "youngsters" at Stanford and another about to enter Santa Clara.
Joe Lovell has been named general manager of the Schenectday, N.Y., Automobile Club and Dorp Travel Agency, Inc. Joe formerly was with the Genera! Electric Co.'s advertising and sales promotion operation. He has been involved in a number of civic activities around Schenectady, including the United Fund and the Boy Scouts, and he may be the only '47 to be a member of a curling club. Joe and Theo have four children.
From Warwick, R. I., Irving Chorney reports on daughter Gail, a graduate of Smith College Class of '74, who is now a medical student at the Boston University School of Medicine, and son Alan, a graduate of the University of Rhode Island, who is in his second year as a law student at St. Mary's Law School in San Antonio.
Fritz Alexander, judge of the Civil Court of New York City, has been serving as adjunct professor of law at Cornell Law School. His course in "Race and the Law" examined the historical and contemporary impact of legal and juridical precedents upon race relations. He received his LL.B. at New York University and has had a varied career of private practice and public service, besides being active in civil liberties and race relations matters.
A news item sent along by a classmate reports that Bill McCaffrey has been appointed meet director for two AAU National track and field championships to be sponsored by the White Plains Regional Chamber of Commerce this summer. That surely must be our Bill of Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y.
And finally, a little West Coast news. Joe and barren Eisaman traveled from Los Angeles for a few days of skiing at Snowbird in Utah during April. They were disappointed that Al and LizColton couldn't get up from Salt Lake to join them.
Joe chats every few weeks with BourkeWelch, who continues in the printing business in the Los Angeles area. And let's not forget a plug for Eisaman, Johns & Laws, Inc., Advertising, a West Coast-based agency that has succeeded in moving East, with offices now in Denver, Chicago, and New York.
Guess that's it. See y'all in the fall.
