1946
It was great to hear from Lowell andTay Thomas in Anchorage. Lowell says that he has had a busy summer with his air taxi business, flying climbers on and off the glaciers of Mt. McKinley, as well flying hundreds of sightseers around their mountains and Denali National Park. They have high hopes of being in Hanover for the Yale game in November and visiting then with daughter Anne '78 and son-in-law John '76 in nearby Meriden. They hope to find time next spring to make it back to Hanover for our 40th but may have difficulty because of the heavy tourist season. No retirement plans yet.
Incidentally, our 40th reunion dates are June 9-11, 1986, beginning the day after Commencement.
John Emery brings us up to date on his activities as head of Emery Worldwide's air freight business. Starting from scratch in 1946, the company hit $1 million in revenues in 1949, $100 million in 1970, $500 million in 1980, and will reach $1 billion this year. He says, "It is a competitive zoo out there, not unlike an aerial dogfight among the many contenders in the air courier and air cargo business."
John also serves on the boards of Cluett, Peabody, Pitney Bowes, and General Housewares Corporation and is chairman of the board of a new hometown bank, the Bank of Darien, which he and some friends, including Richard Allen, put together.
Dick Rogers is still working at the Massachusetts General Hospital and is planning retirement in 1986. He wishes he had more time to do theater work.
Jack and Katie Tyler are enjoying retirement in New Bern, N.C. They swim six days a week and play golf nearly as frequently.
Frank Cole sent a nice note telling of his plans to be in Hanover for the Princeton game and at the important pre-reunion executive committee meeting at BobKimball's. Frank and Mary Jane will be staying at Quechee with Bob and TinaDoran and Bob and Jackie Hooper. They also will be staying with the Hoopers for the Harvard game in Cambridge. Apologies to Frank for failing to mention his presence at last year's Harvard game executive committee meeting. He also reports that Jack and Grete Rankin will make the Penn game in Philadelphia. The Coles are touring Europe now with visits in London, Amsterdam, and Paris.
Dick and Myrtle Tasso of Chatham, Mass., plan retirement at the end of December. They are in Chatham most of the time and expect to be back for our 40th next spring.
The Bill Whites write that they and the Tassos already have made hotel reservations for reunion. Bill continues his fine golf game and reports that the Skokie Country Club course is even tougher and meaner than I remember it. Bill was carrying about an eight handicap back then.
A nice note from Rosemary Marlette explains that as a part of the recent renovation of McNutt Hall, the Marlette family funded the refurbishing of the dean of admissions office in memory of John Marlette. Returning classmates may wish to check out these beautiful new facilities in the Marlette Room.
Lou Heller is in Fort Lauderdale and says that he stays busy as a semi-active investor in real estate. Along with others that share his view, he hopes that something can be done at reunion to put the V-12 group in touch with each other.
John Wolfe is president and executive director of the Sales and Marketing Executives Society of Houston. He would welcome hearing from classmates in the area who might like to attend the society's excellent programs. Membership is made up of top management personnel from Houston's leading companies.
Doug Leigh reports that he has had a phone call from Bob and Rosemary Jones after 20 some years. The Joneses have been in various parts of Southeast Asia with the U.S. Information Service for most of that time. They are home indefinitely and plan to make it back for the 40th. Doug recalls meetings Bob and Ralph Smith in England, after each had served stints in the infantry on the contintent in 1944 and 1945.
It is with sadness that we tell of the death of Morris Lionel Judson of a heart attack in Scarsdale, N.Y., on July 18, 1985. He had been executive vice president of Kaiser-Roth, in charge of the company's extensive hosiery and glove brands, including Schiaparelli, Kayser, Mojud, and Supphose. He joined the Mojud Company after finishing college, before its merger with Kaiser-Roth. He had been a member of the City (New York) Athletic Club and the Metropolis Country Club and active in community affairs. Morris is survived by his wife, Betty, and five children, including son Bruce '80, and two brothers, David '44 and Alan '51. Our deepest sympathies go out to the entire . family.
Best regards. Please keep in touch.
