1949
A number of nice letters have been received during the past months. I sincerely appreciate everyone's cooperation. Mark Freer sent a long letter describing his successful and happy merger of two families including six "lively, spirited youngsters." His wife Helene died in November of 1973 and about two years ago he married Sue who has three children of her own. They will have two out of the six at Dartmouth next winter. That's a nice ratio. Mark is in investment banking with Kuhn Loeb and Company in New York. He travels frequently. A great deal of his time is spent in other parts of the world.
I had lunch with Deke Jackson recently. He seems hale and hearty and is enjoying his job as vice president of the Indirect Consumer Loan Division of the Exchange National Bank of Chicago.
Joe Kelly is still doing the Shaker Heights-Cleveland scene. He is with The Cleveland Clinic Foundation and head of the department of allergy. He's been with the clinic for ten years and is in the process of enlarging the department. His son David has graduated from New Hampton School. His other two, Beth and Chris, are juniors in high school.
A news release from Top Value Enterprises, Inc. announces that Tom Towler is returning to the company as president. He has been president of Peyton's, a Louisville-based general merchandise service, for the past five years. He left Top Value to become president of Peyton's. As you trading stamp collectors know, Top Value is the second largest trading stamp company. They also have a number of other interests such as amusement parks and merchandise programs for retailers, savings and loan companies and national credit card companies. Congratulations, Tom!
Sam Kilner passed on a note from FrostyWilliams who is living in Oregon and working as deputy director of the Oregon Department of Economic Development. He and Constance and their two children, nine-year-old Ann and seven-year-old Mike, live in Lake Oswego, Ore. Sam also sent along a note about his recent election to the national board of ABC. This is a program in which he has been very active. It is designed, to provide college preparatory level secondary, school education to students from educationally disadvantaged areas. As some of you may recall, one of our class projects was buying books for Dartmouth students who came from this program. Sam was one of the founders of the ABC program in New Canaan and has served as its president for the past two years. Sam is involved in international sales at IBM. He was in Hanover a couple of weeks ago giving a lecture on international business management at the Tuck School.
Dan Jackson has joined the First Boston Corporation as a senior vice president in the Corporate Finance Department, according to an announcement by that company. He will be mak- ing his headquarters in the corporation's San Francisco office and will be responsible for corporate finance business on the West Coast. Dan came to First Boston from Kuhn Loeb and Company where he was the partner in charge of the San Francisco office. Prior to that, he was with Glore Forgan Staats and Company. He has been involved with a number of other companies in the financial world and with the Naval Air Corps since his graduation from Dartmouth.
The December 6, 1976 issue of New West magazine has a lengthy article about QuentKopp. It goes into considerable detail concerning his past career and his promising future. It is very interesting reading and should be quite fascinating to Quent Kopp followers. If you'd like a copy of the article, just drop me a line and I'll send you one.
Ray Powers writes from L.A. that he has changed from actor's agent to actor after studying and working in student films and off- Hollywood plays for a number of years. He has just finished a top role with John Cassavates in a movie produced by Cassavates, Opening Night. He has also been in two other United Artist productions - Paulie and Buffalo Soldiers. Two plays of his, Two Farces, were successfully produced at the Theater East.
Carter Hoyt, who lives close to me in Glenview, writes that he is president of Process Sales Incorporated, a manufacturer's rep. business. He started the business in '64 and is located in Addison, Ill. He and Penny have three children: Betsy, who is 23, employed locally as a dental assistant, Carter III, who is 21, a junior at Chicago Music College (Roosevelt University), and 16-year old Peter, who attends Glenbrook South. His mother is living in Hanover, so he gets up there at least once a year. I hope we see him next fall.
