1950
Erie Miller was again on TVs "Wall Street Week" on a Friday night in January. He is chief investment officer with Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette, and he recommends leading retailers, banks, and insurance companies where productivity improvements are anticipated. Eric and Sue still live in Bronxville, N.Y. (where, incidentally, he and I and a half-dozen other '50s grew up).
I have found another way to avoid having to fill this space by telling you about my grandkids: stealing from Ken Edelson's class of 1951 notes in the Tuck School alumni magazine. As reported in last month's issue of this magazine, Ken confirms that retired (undefeated!) Minnesota Congressman BillFrenzel is indeed with the Brooldngs Institute in D.C. He is a guest scholar, a title Bill says his former profs would find ridiculous.
Bruce Rogal's company, Rogal Associates of Newton Center, Mass., is in the incentivetravel business. He arranges travel programs for large organizations, usually companies that use tours as incentives for salesmen and the like. He and Phyllis live in Weston, Mass.
"Retired" publishing executive AlexHoffman now is chairman of the Association for Copyright Enforcement. He and Twinks, transplanted Minn esotans, have lived in Darien, Conn., for the past 40 years.
More on fellow Tuckies in a later issue. (Thanks, Ken, and I hope you won't retain Alex to go after me.)
My roommate since 1949 brought the following to my attention: "I have become a little older since I saw you last, and a few changes have come into my life since then. Frankly, I have become quite a frivolous old gal. I am seeing five gentlemen a day. As soon as I wake up, Will Power helps me get out of bed. Then I go to see John. Then Charley Horse comes along, and when he is here he takes a lot of my time and attention. When he leaves, Arthur Ritis shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't like to stay in one place very long, so he takes me from joint to joint. After, such a busy day I'm really tired and glad to go to bed with Ben Gay. What a life!" (Author unknown, or unwilling to acknowledge.)
The College's clipping service came up with an article on Bill Balderston. Bill apparently commutes from Rochester, N.Y., to New York City's Chase Manhattan Bank, where he is a retail marketing executive reporting to Chase's president. Bill was president of Lincoln First Bank of Rochester when Chase Manhattan acquired it in 1984 and was the CEO until a year or so ago.
I received a plucky note from JohnMoulton (310 E. Sunset Ct., Madison, WI 53705) who for more than two years has been battling prostate cancer, which is turning ugly. He feels cheated out of a chance to have said good-bye to several friends who have died recently. He writes, "If some of you might be left with any I-wish-I-had-saids, now is the time to write or call."
