1951

This fall we were fortunate in being able to attend several football games. It was great seeing many old friends and, of equal importance to a beleagured secretary, getting grist for the mill.

We had a pleasant time at a Sunday morning Bloody Mary party at the Howard Reads'; they have settled in Lyme Center. For the better part of two years the Reads have been cruising on their 40-plus-foot sailboat. After all this freedom they are finding it hard to settle down, but Howie intends to do consulting work in the field of hospital administration.

Harvey "Red" Goldstock reports that he and the family have relocated to Baltimore, Md. After spending 22 years in the family linen supply business in Petersburg, Va., Red is now the owner of H&H Services Inc. in Baltimore. "My daughter Anne has now joined me in my business in the sales department, while my son Ted is spending the summer [1979] at the University of Hong Kong prior to returning to Dartmouth for his senior year. Hermyne, of course, is busy settling our new house and, when finished, will help me in my business on a regular basis." Good luck in your new venture, Red.

Loye Miller is on the move again. He has become White House correspondent and chief political writer for Newhouse Newspapers and will be based in their Washington bureau. Before joining Newhouse, Loye was national correspondent for the Gannett News Service in Washington, specializing in politics. Loye also reported that Lissa '79 is thoroughly enjoying digging into a new job as a programmer with Data General in Westboro, Mass., "thanks to John Kemeny's computer math major."

The largest negligence award in Denver's legal history was handed down by Judge RobertFullerton of the Denver District Court. A Denver woman received a $6.8-million judgment against A. H. Robbins Company of Richmond in a suit charging that an intrauterine device caused a miscarriage that nearly killed her.

Francis O'Neil has been named vice president of the newly-created corporate development department of PPG Industries. The department will be responsible for the direction of PPG's long-range planning, corporate marketing, and business growth and development.

Received a newsy update from Julian Olney, who earns his daily bread in investment management. Currently Juli is involved with managing the assets of several members of a Toledo family of considerable substance. "Assets include virtually everything of value you can think of. It is a pleasure; there is plenty of fun and challenge in putting together a group of assets in a sensible way." Juli gets back to Hanover for the annual varsity-alumni soccer game and "by virtue of my advanced alumni status, i.e. representing the oldest class on the field of play, I have been captain emeritus."

Some interesting things have been happening to Ed Mansfield, professor of economics at the University of Pennsylvania. Ed was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Since only about six economists in the world are elected each year to the academy, this is a substantial honor. And Ed seems to be the first American economist to be i'nvited by the People's Republic of China to lecture there. We will look forward to a full report on your return, Ed. Incidentally, in the May 21 issue of Business Week, there was an article called "The Profitable Lure of Exporting Innovation." In the article, Ed Mansfield was called the nation's leading expert on the economics of innovation and he was extensively quoted in the piece.

So long for now!
