1939

At a recent meeting of the Alumni Council in early December, we viewed a slide presentation laying out the nuts and bolts of the current Capital Fund Dartmouth. It drew warm applause from the audience. We noted with satisfaction that the script was developed and written by none other than Jerry Beatty. At the same meeting we also learned that BertMacMannis is a member of Dartmouth's awards committee. And we were pleased to hear that Jim Corner won the "James B. Reynolds Award" as the outstanding head agent in classes 26-to-40 years out of college. Nice to have Jim get official recognition for the excellent job he has done over these past two years.

J. Moreau Brown Associates is the name of Brownie's latest business venture that he recently set up in San Francisco. He offers counseling services to business, industry, foundations, and other organizations interested in individual and programmed contributions and contributions policy. Brownie was formerly a vice president of the Council for Financial Aid to Education in NYC.

Al Tishman, an executive vice president of Tishman Realty for a number of years, has participated in the sale and liquidation of the properties of the corporation. Al celebrated his 60th birthday by taking over the presidency of a new company called Tishman Management & Leasing Corporation, whose business will be the operation of the properties sold to Equitable Life Assurance Society. He describes these past few months as the busiest period of his life, which would appear to be hardly an exaggeration, as the deal, according to the New York Times, was said to be for $200 million in any number of properties from New York to Los Angeles.

Lou Oldershaw has become chairman of the board of the National Blank Book Company as of January 1. He was bumped up from the presidency. According to releases, the company, under Lou's leadership, has more than doubled its sales and profits. Incidently, the company is the largest employer in Holyoke, Mass. Lou also serves as a director of the Old Colony Bank of Hampden County, is a vice president of the chamber of commerce and a member of the advisory board of the University of Massachusetts Business School.

Charlie Stack (ne Sakowich), whom we last beard about from Sunnyvale, Calif., responded to treasurer Cornie Miller from 10210 Alpine Dr. #2, Cupertino, Calif, with a most cryptic note, which said, "Leading a happy retired life."

It is with regret that we note the passing of Jack Parkhurst on December 9, at Middletown, N.Y. (See the obituary section.)

Mrs. Eben Reynolds has changed her address to 22 Uptown Rd., Ithaca, N.Y. 14850. And Betty Ferguson, whose husband Gardner passed on in July 1971, has changed her name and address. Betty is now Mrs. Herbert C. Arntsberg, living at 139 North Sea Pines Dr., Hilton Head Island, S.C. 29928.

And talking about addresses, here are a few received recently:

By the time you read this, your scribe will have put in a two-week visit to the land of sun on the Florida west coast, and also tried his hand in some over-60 tennis tournaments. In the meantime, the old mail bag is empty. Drop me a note at the address on the column head. Anything goes. We want to pass on the word.
