1952

I recently received a memo entitled "Sailboats with Indian Logos" from Don Myers. With it were several newsclippings about the annual three-day Memorial Weekend Regatta from St. Thomas to St. Croix and back. From the collage of information I pieced together the following happening: the regatta has a long tradition the 1990 race commemorated its 35th anniversary. Don's entry, a Soverel 26 named Eleazer Wheelock, had classmate Jack Keniley among a crew which included son Jamie Myers '88 and a foreign national intern. Despite having the oldest crew (averaging over 60) in the regatta, Eleazer Wheelock placed third in its class in both legs of the race. In case you are worried about the ancient company Dan travels with, he admitted that Jamie was eliminated from the crew for purposes of the average age computation. Apparently, Eleazer Wheelock's participation in the race has been somewhat of a tradition for several years. Don mentioned that the foreign national internship has settled into the pattern as well two years ago an intern from South Africa, an Australian in 1989, and an Irishman this year. With typical Myers humor he said "good Irish help is hard to find." Some of the other entries in the 1990 regatta Cold Beer, Bad Dog, Fast Idiots, Limin Lady, Fifties Girl, Rhumb Squall— suggest that Eleazer was in pretty good company. It was good to hear that Don has progressed sufficiently from his toxic paint exposure a few years back to take part himself in the big race.

In a recent Boston Globe article entitled "Why Investors Love Sleepy Nashua Corporation, " Charlie Clough, the company's chairman and CEO, is quoted extensively. Despite its dull headquarters building and its unglamorous line of products, the article suggests that Nashua has become a darling among some of Wall Street's most savvy investors. This is quite a tribute to Charlie's leadership since he was elevated to CEO in the early 1980s at a time when Nashua was in deep financial difficulty. The company has been profitable since he assumed the leadership.

In late July, Gail Sanderson's Stonecrest Farm in Wilder, Vt., was the site of a 60th birthday bash for both Gail and Bill Montgomery. The affair was arranged by Gail's kids—Paul '78, David, and Katie. Lots of fifties music, dancing in the barn, and good company, which included Frank and Drewry Logan, Judy Breed, Al and Bev Fiertz, John and Judy North, Angus and Liz Russell, and, of course, Maggie Montgomery. Fred and Molly Carleton '53 were also there. Ev and Sally Parker have relocated by now to London, where Ev will be helping to develop Bingham, Dana, and Gould's practice in the U.K. Ev has had a distinguished law career with that Bostonbased firm. They had just concluded arrangements to put the contents of their Concord, Mass., home into storage and turned over their home in Norwich, Vt., to their son who is at Tuck School. Note that Bill Breed was missing—he was off with Pete Zischke at the annual Bohemian Club Grove event north of San Francisco. Drewry Logan had a major role in the birthday cake production with mucho candles. Former telephone tycoon North, now turned Lyme, N.H., sheep farmer, was heard to be in heavy conversation with Kate Sanderson, who has launched her business career with New York Telephone in Manhattan.
