1970

I have only several bits of news this month, but I hope that a number of you have received the class newsletter and so will not feel too out of touch. Now is the time to be sending in updated news for the fall column. Materials which reach me by August 15 can be added to the October column. If you have a moment this summer, please give me a note about your activities. I'd be happy to hear from you.

Word has been received that Bill Schifani has been promoted to senior vice president of the First National Bank in Albuquerque, N.M. Bill joined the bank as a trust officer in 1977 and moved to the commercial loan department as an assistant cashier in 1980. He was promoted to vice president and manager of private banking in 1983. Private banking was created in the trust department area in order to provide services for executive and professional customers.

I thought I would add a picture to this month's column which did not make it into the May issue. The photo is of John Larson, who, you will all recall, was recently promoted to a vice presidency at the Konover Development Company in West Hartford, Conn. I should mention that an "0" was dropped in the March issue, and Thorne Butler's school out in Cincinnati, Ohio, ended up with 85 students instead of its true enrollment of 850.

I also have word that Dwight and MaryEllen Timbers are the proud parents of one Andrew M. Timbers, bom April 2, 1985. Andrew weighed approximately nine pounds and was 22 inches from head to foot, according to his rightly proud grandparents. In addition to a new son, Dwight has been occupied with significant real estate development work in southern Connecticut. Mary Ellen, for her part, has been representing American Cyanamid in the field of patent law.

I hope that all of you have mailed in your contributions to the Alumni Fund. I understood that the pace of contributions earlier this year among most classes was a bit slower, but I hope that we are now ahead of last year. Because of the slow start, the effort this year from Hanover has been especially vigorous. Don't let the telethons and other efforts turn you off. The students and others have been very good to give up their time to try to remind us to make our own contributions. A number of classmates have worked hard to try to raise the levels of participation and giving in our class. Let's reward their efforts.

Jim Rubens '72, owner of Kaleidoscope, a store in Hanover, is coordinating an effort by local merchantsto "expand the market" and "to prove they don't build downtowns like this anymore." The advertisingeffort includes a jingle that boasts, "Downtown Hanover, it's unique and it's fun, as it's been since1761." This picture ran in the local Valley News.
