The weather was superb during Class Officers Weekend in May and '54 had a good turnout: Bob and Fay Berry, Clark andDonna Davis, John and Sandy Gillespie,Jerry Goldstein, John and Betty Heston,Dick Lewis, Dave and RosemaryMandelbaum, Dick Pearl, Hugh andPhyllis Roberts, and Tom and Pat Sayles. We all were most pleased to witness the presentation of a Young Alumni Award to Pat Berry Heisler '81 (Bob and Fay's daughter). Pat will be the next president of the Class Presidents Association.

The Wall Street Journal reported in February that some personnel moves were expected at the United States Justice Department: "speculation has increased that JamesRill, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division, will leave by year-end. Lawyers familiar with the division predict that once Mr. Rill completes a revision of the unit's internal merger-enforcement guidelines, he will return to private practice." Apparently, Jim finished that task, as he did resign in May and has returned to his old Washington law firm, now known as Collier, Shannon & Scott.

The New York Times reported in February about impending changes at the Citizens Financial Group of Providence, R.I. GeorgeGraboys "will leave as chief executive officer on September 30 to start a new career as an educator and lawyer. 'I love my job, but now that I am 60, it is time to do other things while I am still healthy.'

At the top of his list of new ventures is a seminar on economics he is developing for high schools in the region. "There are students now who go through college without ever learning how to apply the theories of classical economics to practical situations." We are familiar with George's success in guiding Citizens to sound growth in the 1980s and its sale to the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Harry Robinson and Jim Conrad were good friends with Paul Sullivan and submitted the obituary on Paul that will appear in a later issue. Harry writes: "the chance to talk to Jim at some length was very rewarding. He still teaches history at Nichols College and is doing research on a historical book about the early entrepreneurs in the textile industry in Rhode Island. Primary research is being done at the Rhode Island Historical Society and Brown University. Scholarly work is long and demanding, but, hopefully, rewarding in the end. We talked at length about the many fine changes in American education in general and Dartmouth in particular. Jim has not changed: same high quality guy as always. Bunny is still lovely."
