John Felli's wife Anne died December 3, 1982. John was not too well known in the class, so I think it would be of interest to classmates and others to recall his interesting career. He transferred to West Point, from which he was graduated in 1920 and served as a first lieutenant in the field artillery until he returned to Hanover as a Tuck student. At that time I was teaching at Tuck, and the first semester I gave John a "C" in my course. I later learned that it was the only mark he got other than an A" in all his courses. It was A 1 Frey who told me he was a classmate. Needless to say, he got an "A" the second semester! He received his Tuck degree in 1923. He was with General Motors from 1923 to 1931, treasurer of General Aviation from 1931 to 1933, and treasurer of North American Aviation from 1933 to 1936. He then moved rapidly up the ladder at General Motors until he became an assistant treasurer, a position he held until his retirement.
