A" new look" at Schweizer Aircraft Corporation was the focus of a January article in the Elmira |Star-Gazette of Elmira, N.Y.The "new look" is based on a new generation of Schweizers "taking the controls." following the rerirement of William schweizer, the last of the three founding brothers to rerire. The secondgeneration management team includes Paulschweizer and Sut Schweizer '66(both sons ofWilliam) and Leslie Schweizer, son of another founding brother. Each on an annual rotating basis, an arrangement similar to the operating ways of the founders, "for whom titles were never important."Leslie, 34, joined the company in 1970 after graduation from N.Y.U. paul, 36, and Stuart, 37, joined in 1977 and 1971, tespectivelv. after working for the Boeing Company. Paul holds a master's Stuart one from Princeton. Each of the founding brothers has an office at the plant but it appears they are so busy with other projects, including community service and pursuit of hobbies, that the younger management team has unquestionably got the controls. This story, or rather history, of a company thet began in 1939 is certainly a tribute to the capability of the fathers and sons to work together effectively towards keeping the business in the family.

The latest word of Peter Hofman, executive vice president of Bci Geonetics of Laconia, N.H., came via Foster's Daily Democrat of Dover, N.H. It covered the start of a new project to look for deep "rock-water" in Rochester, one of the most ambitious projects the company has undertaken to date. The objective is to find wells as a source of 3.3 million gallons a day! That's a lot of showers, Pete. Any danger of the face of the earth starting to shrivel up?

Hope everyone had a great reunion and has a great summer!
