1955

Only a couple of issues ago, we wrote that Jay Olson had been named assistant to the president of GAF Corporation. It seems he must have impressed while in the capacity because he has now been named senior vice president for that company's financial operations. Jay will retain his title as treasurer of the corporation until a successor is found.

Many of us remember Pat McCarthy even though he left us after freshman year. Pat went on to complete his undergraduate studies at the University of Maine and then did graduate work at Harvard. He is now the chancellor of the University of Maine.

Pat went to Maine from Massachusetts where he had served with the State System of Higher Education. Prior to that position he had worked in Ireland as a member of a team which developed a multi-disciplinary research institute for the United Nations. At the same time he was serving as the chief UN advisor to the government of Ireland.

University Hospital in Boston has announced the appointment of Lew Weintraub as chief of hematology and professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine.

Lew received his medical degree from Harvard. After completing his internship at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and residency at the Hospital of the University of Michigan, he was a hematology fellow at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York.

Before joining the staff at University Hospital in 1972, Lew was on the staff of New England Medical Center Hospital and on the faculty of Tufts University School of Medicine. He and his wife Joan live with their two children in Wayland, Mass.

Mike Gorton sent us a clipping from the sports pages of the Springfield Daily News which indicates that Ted Ely is truly an athletic supporter. His wife Arline was the winner in the 40 to 49-year-old women's group at the nationals of the NASTAR ski-racing competition held recently in Keystone, Colo. She had qualified as one of 80 finalists by finishing in the top 20 at the regional competition.

Arline has been skiing for 30 years and has been calling Mad River her "base" for 21 of those years. Interestingly enough, the sponsor of the competition was the Schlitz Brewing Company, so indirectly most of us can consider ourselves supporters of this event. Ted looked pretty good on a skateboard at our tenth reunion but he hasn't qualified for any national events as yet.

Jud Hale has just been named a member of the Council of New Hampshire Public Broadcasting. The group is responsible for funding public broadcasting in New Hampshire and for ensuring that the New Hampshire Network operates in the public interest under the auspices of the University of New Hampshire.

Bill Ramsay writes to say that he is just finishing a term on the board of the Northbrook, Ill., Bicentennial Commission and also the board of the Northbrook Historical Society. He keeps the wolf away by running his tile and terrazzo business while wife Ann teaches at the local Montessori school.

Word has been received that Mark Leipman has been appointed to the Personnel Board of his town of Brookline, Mass. Mark is managing director of Atlantic Metal Fabricators, Inc. and until 1965 owned his own marketing agency. He earned his graduate degree from Columbia University School of Business.

Bob Leopold reports that equal opportunity still lives as he has been promoted to Captain. Bob is in the Navy and is stationed at the Defense Systems Management School at Fort Belvoir where he is learning how to be a project manager.

That about wraps it up for this season. We're heading for the Virgin Islands with Jim Kerbin's pledge card just to prove to Mike Gorton that we take our class agent's job seriously. To hell with using the WATS line for this contact.
