Duggan Children: Gary Ql'2.1, Michele fllj Children: Gary Q12j, Michele fllj Professional Engineer, Commonwealth of Mas- sachusettsg Member: IEEE, SPEBSQSA Hobbies: Fishing, boating, chorus, and quartet singing Upon graduation, I continued with the Navy V-l 2 program, Midshiprnan School, and Radar School. This tour of duty was made noteworthy only by participation in Project Crossroads, the first atomic tests at Bikini Atoll. After discharge in September of 1946, I married Mary fSimmons, '44J and soon moved to Milton, where we have lived since. In October, 1946, I joined Sylvania as a microwave engineer and have been with the same organization fspecializing in military electronicsj through numerous relocations and reorganizations. Along the way I was Manager of the Avionics Laboratory: Technical Director, Minuteman Security Systemsg and Associate Director, Applied Research Laboratory. Pres- ently, I am Assistant Director of Engineering, Sylvania Electronic Systems- East. During the academic year '64-'65, I was a member of the Practicing Engineer Program at the .Center for Advanced Engineering Studies. This was a rewarding, if sobering, experience for anyone who has strayed away from pure de- sign work. The Arnolds devote much of their summer and leisure to swimming, boating, and fishing. During the school year, Mary is a part-time social worker at the Boston School for the Deaf. A.

I thenjmarried Kay Brooks CRussell Sage '45j and with the war still on went to work at RCA's Ground and Marine Radar Di- vision in the development of automatic range tracking systems. By 1947 I had gotten into the, then, new field of guided mis siles workingjointly with J. H. V. In 1 948 I joined the new General Electric Electronics Laboratory at Syracuse, New York. Here I was first Assistant Manager of the Mis- sile Guidance Group, later Manager of Magnetic Materials Applications, and in 1 953 was appointed Manager of the Advanced Products Section of the Lab. This was a most interesting period of work on digital computers, color television, underwater sound transistor development, as well as the Hermes and Atlas missile guidance systems. In 1955 the Laboratory Director, Dr. L. T. DeVore, invited me to join him in the manage- ment of the Electronics Division of Stewart Warner in Chicago, where I became Manager of Engineering. By 1958, having been primarily in the mili- tary business for 10 years, I switched to the consumer products field and joined The Wurlit- zer Company as Manager of Engineering and Research of the North Tonawanda Division. Subsequently the work branched out and involved electronic organs, pianos, and a variety of musical instruments. This work was very in- teresting and a field in which engineering was dreadfully needed. In 1961 I was elected a Vice President, in 1967 a Senior Vice President, and in 1968 the Executive Vice President, and am now concerned with operations of five domestic divisions as well as overseas plants. One of our main family hobbies is sailboat racing and cruising on the Great Lakes. Kay is
