1960

I did not see many classmates at the annual dinner of the Eastern Massachusetts Alumni Association. Tom and Nobbie Reilly were there along with Marty and Bobbie Lower. The Lowers moved last August from Chicago to Massachusetts and are now living in Dover, Mass. Marty was formerly with Booz Allen and is now with Ludlow Corp. of Needham, manufacturers of carpeting, furniture, paper, packaging and textiles. As most of you know, Marty has been a right arm for Phil Kron on the Alumni Fund campaign for the past few years and as assistant head agent is primarily responsible for the class campaign in the western half of the country. Also assisting Phil this year are Dick Griggs (eastern campaign) and SpenceMorgan (participation). These guys have been doing a terrific job, and I hope you will make their task a bit easier by sending in your contribution now if you have not yet contributed. Try to give a little more this year.

Occasionally I have lunch with Elliott Carr who is still heading up the Savings Bank Association of Massachusetts. Elliott and Sue have built a new house in Pembroke, Mass., across the street from their old house. A daughter Sarah was born last January to keep Priscilla, age three, company.

I was most disturbed to hear that John andStephanie Goyette had a fire in their home last December, which destroyed about 70 per cent of their belongings but fortunately caused no personal injury. The Goyettes have been temporarily living in space above John's office in Jefferson, N.H. until their home is rebuilt and spent a couple of weeks of much needed relaxation in Florida. John left the Hopkins Center a few years ago to establish the White Mountains Center for the Arts in Jefferson.

Lloyd Lawrence left IBM last October to accept a position with Trans Ocean Leasing Corp., a container leasing company with headquarters in San Francisco. Lloyd is responsible for the eastern half of the country and works in New York City. The Lawrences have moved from New Shrewsbury, N.J., to Fair Haven, N.J., and have a new daughter, Elizabeth Dangerfield, born last year. Her brothers - Chip, age 13, Maury, age 11, and Billy, age 10 - enjoy her very much.

Reed Browning was made a professor of history at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, last July. His book, The Duke Of Newcastle, was published by Yale University Press in 1975 and reviewed by Professor Jeffrey Hart '51 in the June 1975 issue of this magazine. According to Professor Hart, this biography of Thomas Pelham, Duke of Newcastle (1693-1768)"... is not only a scholarly and literary event of the first importance, an indispensable work for 18th century students, but also a book that can be read with pleasure and indeed excitement by the general reader.... Browning is not only a superb scholar, but an imaginative and graceful stylist."

Bob Messner is vice president, corporate secretary and general counsel of G. C. Murphy Company of McKeesport, Pa. Bill Hibbs has moved from Crestwood, Ky., back to Moline, Ill. I have no further information from Bill concerning the move. Bill Jerome has moved from Traverse City, Mich., to Ann Arbor, Mich., again no details!

Brad Palmer is still with H. P. Smith Co., a paper company in Grand Rapids, Mich., and a division of Phillips Company. Gerald Huttrer is a geologist with International Energy and travels a lot. Gordon Starkey is a consulting engineer with Hazen and Sawyer in Connecticut. Marty Andic teaches philosophy at the University of Massachusetts, Boston campus.

I heard from Gene Kohn that Bruce Ducker has returned to private law practice in Denver. Bruce has written a book called Rule by Proxy which I understand describes some of his first-hand experiences with proxy contests. Bruce was formerly president of Great Western Financial Company. Gene, the last I heard, is now running a heat-seal business in Pennsylvania and is still a director and part owner of Docktor Pet Centers, although he is no longer running that company. Gene thrives on the challenge of turning around faltering businesses by providing the much needed managerial know-how to keep them afloat.

I regret ending on a sad note, but I received belated word that Francis A. Carmichael III, M.D., of Mission, Kans., died of cancer on May 1, 1975. The Class extends its deepest sympathy to his family.
