1963
Errol Miller reports from Pittsburgh that he is now general counsel of Eagle Markets Inc., which is the numero uno supermarket chain in western Pennsylvania, though he claims to still think of himself "as a lawyer and not a grocer." Errol took wife Enid and daughter Cindy, age five, back to Hanover for Alumni College last summer and heartily recommends it as "a terrific summer vacation," adding that "the presence of girls, soft ice-cream machines in Thayer, and numerous new tennis courts has done wonders for Hanover," not necessarily in that order.
George Hellick has been named vice president-operations for Winchell's Donut House, which is a division of Denny's Inc. George had previously been a director of marketing for Winchell's and corporate director of marketing for the whole Denny's she-bang, since joining the corporation in 1976. (Before that, George had worked for ITT Continental Baking Co. and the American Can Co Winchell's operates 870 donut shops in 19 states, which means that someone has got to figure what to do with a lot of donut holes. George lives in Irvine, Calif., with his wife and three daughters.
John Rose reports the following sequence of accomplishments (or at least occurrences): oraduation from Yale law, assistant chief prosecutor for Connecticut's circuit courts, a decade of employment with Ribicoff and Klotkin, a decision to go off on his own in a nine-person firm, two marriages, two daughters (Anika, five, and Khari Sekou, one), and a term as vice president of the Black Alumni for Dartmouth. He is now living in Bloomfield, Conn., and reports that he recently did some work with Norm Buchsbaum's Maryland law firm, but the post card did not allow room for a full report on the outcome of that combined operation.
We inadvertently left out half of RussSeibert's report in the confusion that constituted last month's column. In addition to becoming a field staff member of the Church of Scientology, he is working for the William S. Haynes Co., which makes high quality flutes and piccolos. He had previously been with the Red Sox,
Mel Meyers, according to the Samsonite Corp. newsletter, has been named general manager of that company's Denver manufacturing operations, which makes suitcases and hardware. He and his wife Liz have a son Joey, age three, and were, at last report, expecting a second child. They live in Aurora, Colo., where Mel is a trustee of Temple Emanuel and helps run the regional United Way campaign. He is running a lot and recently posted a 3:36 marathon clocking. Can anyone top that?
Seriously, how about a Class of 1963 Mail Marathon? It'll be sort of a reverse giveaway. You send in your best time in an official marathon, and I'll give you 25 words or less in the October class notes. All times will be recorded for posterity. If it works, maybe we could challenge another class. And even though it's a mail marathon contest, I see no reason why wives and daughters should be excluded, though we may have to put them in a separate category if they do better than the class members. Deadline for entries: September 1.
Now, back to the news: Steve Spahn, accor- ding to the Lewiston (Maine) Daily Sun, has expanded his publishing empire by purchasing the Twin City Printery Inc. of Lewiston. Twin City prints Down East magazine, which Steve and a few associates purchased a couple of years ago.
Jack Potter has moved to Avon, Conn., with wife Gail, son Alan, and daughter Betsy. He is currently director of taxes in the Hartford office of Arthur Young & Co.
Ron Foley reports from Prospect, Conn., that he has recently been promoted to manager of methods and procedures of Colonial Bancorp of Waterbury, Conn. He adds somewhat cryptically that he resigned from the local school boards "before other members could find a rope and a strong limb." We hope that further details will be forthcoming on that story. Certainly he is doing nothing further to overcrowd the local schools. He says the Foley clan, is "growing older, not larger." Colleen is now 12, Ron Jr. is nine, and Sean is four. Wife Betty Lou is going back to college, possibly in an effort to figure out what went wrong on the school board.
Lee Bateman reports on an interesting career change. He trained horses for seven years, then decided to become a doctor. After graduating from Dartmouth Medical School he did his residency in family practice, and has since hung out his shingle in Setauket, N.Y. Lee married for the second time last year.
Finally, Bill Subin is getting in on plenty of action in Atlantic City, the new gambling mecca of the East Coast, most of it legal. (Bill is an attorney. Do I have to explain this joke much further?) In his spare time away from the roulette wheels of New Jersey justice he coaches crew, referees high school basketball games, and is president of the Little League. Bill's wife Petie has appeared in nine theatrical productions over the past several years.
