1965
Snake-eyes, deuces, two-of-a-kind, a pair, and a couple. In spilling out the contents of the mailbag this month, we found a natural pairing up of news items; so that is how they will be transcribed for you.
First off we have news that two classmates were recently selected to serve on corporate boards of directors. Steve Horvath was elected at a recent annual meeting of stockholders to serve as an inside member of the Butterworth Inc. board. Considering that he has only been with Butterworth since 1977, we can offer congratulations on such speedy recognition. Steve commutes from Cambridge to his financial and administrative job in Woburn, Mass. RillDuschatko has advanced with equal speed within First Bancorp of N.H. Inc. In January 1976 he joined as officer-in-charge of real estate lending activities. When First Bank Mortgage Corp. was formed in April 1977 he was elected president. In May of 1978 the Board elected him to the board of directors of First Bancorp Manchester.
The title of vice president is now appropriate when referring to Jack Hosmer and Glenn Currie. Jack has moved from Bangor, Maine, to Marblehead, Mass., in order to direct lending activities at the Atlantic Savings Bank. In Bangor he had similar responsibility at the Bangor Savings Bank. Glenn has moved to Cincinnati from Greenwich, Conn., to take on a new position with Avco's international service division in Sharonville, Ohio. His responsibilities include financial planning and reporting, personnel, and data processing.
Our next double is in the form of clippings from Sports Illustrated - both from the "Letter From the Publisher" section and both referring to the noteworthy exploits of Heinz Kluetmeier. On a photographing assignment in connection with Boston Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee, Heinz had to first chase down a propeller beanie for Lee to wear and then find an astronaut's suit to be worn with the beanie normal costuming for an eccentric southpaw like Bill Lee. The suit came from NASA and the beanie was improvised using a baseball cap and pinwheel. The second S.I. reference to Heinz came a month later and from halfway around the world. This time credit was given for his perseverance in planning and executing a week-long trek into the uncivilized part of the Island of Hawaii - to photograph rare birds like the io or Hawaiian hawk. Heinz was successful not only in getting unique photographs but also in keeping up the humor and spirits of Kenny Moore, the article writer. More details can be found on page four of the September 25 issue of Sports Illustrated.
Our tall Tennessee attorney from Oak Ridge, Jim Ramsey, had to make a choice between two influential, elected offices recently. While still serving his term as county attorney for Anderson County, Jim successfully won by ballot the office of district attorney general and reelection as county attorney. His choice is to be district attorney general for the 28th judicial circuit.
A couple of couples have been formed this year. Richard K. Lockridge and Deborah Gousoule were married in January and live in Boston where he is with the Boston Consulting Group. In August John Fyler and Julia Ann Genster got together. She has been a doctoral candidate at Berkeley and he is assistant professor of English at Tufts University in Massachusetts.
While two destroyers were moored side-by-side in Pearl Harbor, Ken McGruther wrote that he was executive officer on one and SteveFarrow was to be executive officer on the other starting in September. Ken boarded the USS Joseph Strauss off Okinawa and has visited Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Philippines. After that travel the ship needs a year-long overhaul. For the next year catch him at #16 First Street, Honolulu. While Steve has been at the War College, Ken has been working on articles published in Naval InstituteProceedings and the Naval War CollegeReview. Much of the work on the controversial Navy Sea Plan 2000 was prepared by Ken also.
Our final pairing of news items is bittersweet. In one hand I hold the joyful announcement of the birth of a third son to Dick Bordeau. In the other I hold a copy of the obituary for GreggTelek written by his sister Kathy Francke. Her rendition had quite an impact on me and how I see my own life now. I recommend that you turn to the back of this magazine, read her words, and pause for an unhurried moment.
