B. S. following graduation, my plans were changed by: a call to active duty 1June '435 in the Air Force: marriage to Jean Yorkey, a high school classmate in November '44, and celebration of VJ day at the Officers' Club in Tampa with Mal McFaull 1XVI classmate5 and Ben Dann 1'45 or '465. Mal and I returned to the Institute in Course XV, two days after dis- charge in October '45, and graduated in Sep- tember '46, My career history has included 15 years in the aerospacelnucleonics industry and 7 years in water pollution control. After 25 years in aviation export 1Aviquipo Inc. --N. Y. C. 5, 55- years as Regional Sales Manager for the Aero Division of Honeywell, and 2 years as Sales V. P. of Avien Inc. 1a small electronics com- PQHY5 I became chief operating officer and a director of the latter. During the next four Years I had the pleasure of sponsoring a Fellow to the Sloan Program and almost quadrupling the per share earnings of our company. BY 1960 we had evaluated 130 and acquired four other small companies, and I had come to dfsagree with my chief executive on several ba- s1c decisions. Remembering the advice of Prof. A-A. Schaeffer, the time to go into business for Yourself is between ages 35 and 45, if yOU-'Ve hed 'Che good fortune to get the right experience w1th others, I wrote the specifications for my 0Wn business search. In September '61 I pur- Chesed control of the Ralph B. Carter Company, Whleh was then headed straight for the reef. We didn't sink, but it was close for a while. , Finally, in 1967, I was able to start devot- mg mY P1'iT1Cipal attention to development of the f0mPanY, leaving the running of the business argellf to some very competent associates.

Now that the jun- ior nieinbers of the clan are pursuing their own ldeas, the summer consists mostly of meeting Planes, buses, and anything else that moves. One travel idea which has worked extremely well for.us we commend to all multi- child fam- 11168 which can possibly swing it, At age 12 each Chllfi goes on an extended trip with us but without siblings. Twelve is a wonderful age for thls Special only me experience, it's easy on the parents, and the maturity rate which follows is outstanding. For Kathy it was Japan, Hawaii, and the West: for Dick, Scandinavia and Central Ef11'0PeS Ted's turn-is coming. After this expe- Hence, we had no qualms about letting Dick go to Venezuela alone when he was barely 13. Generally we look at our world optimisti- cally and are convinced it's a wonderful time to be living. My main beef is the date picked for the reunion, right in the middle of high school exam days. Did somebody suggest a family affair? PIERRE H. BOUCHERON, JR.

Started my business career as a Development Engineer with the National Broadcasting Company in New York City. By that time Big Charlotte 1Wellesley '445 and I had Little Charlotte and Pete. The most important achievement at NBC was the development of the first operational television recording system 1remember the Kinescope replays5. Went back into service during the Korean War and spent two years as television engineering officer with the Signal Corps. By now 11 9535 we decided that we had had enough of New York City working and Long' Island living, so I joined General Electric in Syracuse, New York. That started a very re- warding twelve years of progressive assignments 29 ,

Kawecki 1class of 19341, Director of Research. In addition to the extractive metal- lurgy of berylliurn, I was also involved with zirconiurn and titanium extraction. When Ka- wecki left in 1950 to found Kawecki Chemical Co. , I became Acting Director of Research for a period and, myself, left in 1 951 to join Na- tional Research Corp. in Cambridge, Mass, At NRC I was a Project Manager with Gor- don Findlay 1class of 19441 working on a pilot plant for production of titanium metal. Spent about four and a half years on titanium develop- ment programs, Joined Kawecki Chemical Co. in 1956 as 3, Development Engineer. Advanced to Research Manager in 1 958. At Kawecki have been in- volved in research and development of most of the products of the company which are metals, alloys, and chemicals of the less familiar ele- ments. Our products range from refractory metals to alkali metals, and are used in elec- tronics, space, medicine, and chemical and metallurgical fields. For Kawecki I have travelled to Brazil in 1956 to investigate a beryllium venture, to Hol- land in 1963 to initiate technical exchange with Billiton, who had the previous year started a joint venture to produce refractory metal, metal products, and aluminum base master alloys. In 1966 and 1967 travelled to Germany for techni- cal interchange and presented a paper in London in 1967.

In 1953 I became associated with The Castle Co. , and was transferred to the west coast as a district sales manager based in Seattle. We spent seven great years in the northwest, but then we were sent to New York City 2-S Regional Manager. In 1 964 I became Division Manage? for Sales and Service. Thoroughly enjoyed 11V- ing in Connecticut but never really liked com- muting to New York City.

Our good for- tune in staying put for so long ran out in 1.965 when I accepted my present assig Corporate Engineering Staff in Schenectady. This is most interesting work, travelling 'CO all of our world-wide operations assisting them with technical and business problems. When it became obvious that our twenty- fifth wedding anniversary was going to find me on one of the numerous junkets, with Bull - GE, we threw conservatism to the winds and Char- lotte joined me for three glorious weeks in Paris and London. We ought to do that more often, she keeps saying. Once every twenty- five years is the reply. After graduating from Carleton College, nrnent with the Little Charlotte married Craig Smith 1no grand- children yetl. After about two years in big business, they decided to go back to school, in Syracuse of all places, Craig to become an English teacher and Char to take up interior decorating. Pete graduated from high school and went on to Delhi Tech and then got drafted. He is now a sergeant in Cam Rahn Bay, Viet Nam. Naturally we worry about him some, but his year over there is almost up and he seems to be taking it in stride. Robert, a junior in high school, is a top honors student and almost a virtuoso on the clarinet. Edward, our 160-pound baby, is a high school freshman and very scientifically inclined. At this point he thinks he wants to be an MIT electrical engineer. The family has more hobbies than we have time to devote to them: Charlotte, needlework and weaving: Robert, art and his clarinet: Ed, ham radio and radio-controlled model airplanes and Dad, his machine shop when he can gettoit.

I married Margaret Thomas in 1953. We moved to the University of California, Berkeley, in 1954, where I was on the faculty of Electrical Engineering, We took a sabbatical leave to Europe in 1 960-51, spending part of the year in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, part at University College, London and part skiing at Kitzbuel. Just before the riots, we moved to Houston, Texas, in 1963, where I assumed my present position as Pro- fessor and Chairman of the Department of Elec- trical Engineering at Rice University. The De- partment is small by MIT standards, but we have 20 professors, 80 graduate students, and about 40 undergraduates in each class. HENRY N.
