1969

For your reading pleasure this month, we have two promotions, one citation, one appointment, one engagement, and a potpourri.

The promotions belong to Andy McLane and Tom Cronan.

Andy picked up an M.B.A. from the Tuck School in 1971. He joined the State Street Bank and Trust Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the State Street Boston Financial Corporation) in 1973 and the board of directors of that venerable institution recently named him an assistant vice president in the commercial banking division. Andy lives in Concord, Mass., with his wife and two children.

Tom was previously revenue studies supervisor for Southern New England Telephone. SNET has elevated Tom to tariff supervisor. Tom lives in Madison, Conn., where he does a great deal of work for the local midget football league. Tom, of course, is also quite expert at What's My Line.

The citation went to Dr. Jonas Johnson. Jonas won the eighth annual Benjamin Shuster Memorial Award for outstanding research in head and neck plastic surgery. The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Inc., bestowed the award in Palm Beach, Fla. Jonas received the award for his paper entitled "Selective Reinnervation of Paralyzed Facial Muscles," which documented successful application of a surgical technique for correcting laryngeal paralysis to the correction of facial muscle paralysis. Jonas was formerly assistant resident in general surgery at the Medical College of Virginia. He won the 1972 award of the American Ophthalmology Association and is the author of a number of research papers published in professional journals. Jonas is a resident in otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) at State University Hospital in Syracuse, N.Y. All of this information came to us courtesy of Rick Lounsbury.

The appointment went to John Kelly. Connecticut General Life Insurance Company has named John assistant secretary, individual insurance operation. John started with the company in 1969. He advanced to underwriter in 1972 and to senior underwriter in 1974. John and his wife Sharon live in Farmington, Conn.

The engagement is the pride of Eric Forsythe. Eric engaged the engaging Mary CatherineHarris. He earned M.F.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Carnegie Mellon Institute and is presently the managing director of the Tufts University Theater. Mary Catherine is a graduate of Vasser and Dartmouth Med School. She is currently an intern at Children's Medical Center in Boston.

The potpourri belongs to Randy Cooper, who figures "it was about time I acknowledged my existence." Randy writes: "I spent three years playing bridge and watching the Red Sox (from the right field bleachers, of course) while attending Boston University School of Law. After receiving my J.D. degree (the supercharged model of the L.L.B.), I took the bar exam in New Hampshire this last July. I was fortunate to pass that, and the Supreme Court gave me the nod, thereby admitting me to the New Hampshire Bar, which I thought happened back in 1965 when I entered Dartmouth. I am now practicing law in North Conway, which is one of the more pleasurable things that I have done."
