1970

Some quite interesting bios have come in during the past few weeks, so you can all revel this month in a column which will actually have some substance for a change. First, our fearless leader Trip Dorkey would like to introduce Tim Welch as our new head agent. Along and thoughtful search has clearly yielded the best. Tim will undoubt-edly spend most of his time during the next three years involved in fundraising with the class. Spare time, if any, will continue to be devoted to the New "fork region of the Equitable Real Estate Management Inc., where Tim serves as senior vice president and oversees a real-estate portfolio of $4.5 billion.

Tim received his law degree from Georgetown University in 1975 and immediately joined Equitable as an attorney. He received a Master of Law in taxation in 1979 from New York University and was also briefly in private practice about this time. He rejoined Equitable as an assistant vice president for real estate operations in 1980. He has moved up quickly in the company ever since, elected a vice president in 1983,asenior vice president in 1984, and executive vice president in 1986. He currently serves on the company's board of directors and executive committee, as well as on the Portfolio Policy and Valuation Committee.

In tapping Tim for the head agent position, Trip has clearly demonstrated that an important job takes a busy man. Fundraising for the College takes on a special meaning as we approach our 25th Reunion, and Tim will look for everyone's enthusiastic support over the next few years.

Chuck Howarth has been extremely busy as president of the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City N.J.. The Center is scheduled to open this October and will be one of the nation's largest and most important interactive science center. Chuck has provided over-all direction for the $60 million project, including oversight of construction of a 170,000 -square-foot facility and development of a staff slated to reach 200 soon.

Chuck received a master's in zoology from the University of New Hampshire, and then taught high school biology and marine science for several years. He subsequently joined the Boston Museum of Science and became its associate director, responsible for educational programs and exhibits. During his tenure there he doubled the institution's educational staff, opened a computer education center, expanded in-service for teachers nearly eight-fold, and introduced seminars and mentorships for gifted high school students. Emphasis on these kinds of activities will continue at the Liberty Science Center. Congratulations, Chuck, for being part of such an important effort. You are certainly doing your part to put New Jersey back on the map!

Jim Brady has had an interesting career, or I should say careers. He headed west from Hanover to the University of California, Berkeley, where he majored in sociology and obtained a doctorate in criminology in 1974. He then moved east again to teach for nine years at the University of Massachusetts, followed by a couple of years at the State University of Colorado in Fort Collins. Then it was back to New England yet again, this time as a student at Northeastern University, where he received a law degree in 1990. He clerked for a while at the Federal Court in Boston, but has recently taken a permanent position in Beantown with the law firm of Perkins, Smith and Cohen. He also continues teaching on a part-time basis at Boston University. We also understand that Jim managed to pick up a lovely wife and two charming daughters during the course of all his transcontinental wanderings.

In closing we want to assure you that TomOstermueller does not have it in for innocent babes and children across the world. Due to an editorial error, Tom was reported in a recent column to be involved in infant litigation." He's actually involved in infant formula litigation. Tom was kind enough not to complain, but we send our apologies anyway. He's really a nice guy, I assure you.
