WIFE: Annette (Univ. of Minnesota ’49) CHILDREN: John, 21, Amherst, '71; Philip, 19, Connecticut, ’73; Paul, 16, High School. Left Dartmouth after one year to serve as Ensign on DD-837 four years and finished college (BS) at University of Minnesota. Hindsight says now I should have gone to Tuck School or Harvard Business but marriage and opportunities in a family business took precedence. Have always been my own boss. Like it that way because of opportunity to make more of my life with the freedom for travel and the ability to take advantage of whatever comes along without being tied down to a rigid schedule. Have managed Hotels, Movie Theatres, developed and owned real estate. Biggest venture was as President of a packaging company with seven factories. Sold this company to a New York Stock Exchange company in 1964. Currently am President of my own investment company. We operate a chain of Beauty Shops, have developed several pieces of commercial real estate this year, we do consulting work (specializing in mergers and acquisitions). We also manage commercial real estate and invest funds for our own accounts in all types of listed and unlisted securities. Memberships include Rotary Club of Minneapolis. The Young Presidents' Organization, and Directorships of The Second Northwestern National Bank of Minneapolis. United Church Homes (Also President) and other groups and organizations. Future ambitions are to spend less time over the next ten years on business and put more time in on activities to improve environment and quality of life. I am convinced that if people don't come forward to lead activities aimed at reducing pollution, lower the rising rates of violence, and bring general peace to this Earth, the good life we have enjoyed since leaving Dartmouth won’t be available to present day young people, even in the short space of the next ten years. 7

assumed charge of all the Bank’s Brazilian branches in November 1966. Repatriated in August of last year with responsibility for all overseas operations involving branches and affiliates in 31 countries. In 1956 I was married to the former Dora Dc Jan of Havana and we now live with our two children in Dover, Mass, eighteen miles from Boston. NVe are in the process of adapting ourselves to life in the U.S. and have started off with an active interest in skiing. My work takes me abroad constantly and I expect the whole family to participate in a great deal of world travel in the years to come. During my years in Cuba I remained active in the Air Force Reserve in Florida and continue to hold a commission. In Brazil we were partial to outdoor life and I was Acting President of the Dartmouth Club of Brazil at the time of my departure. Retirement seems far too remote for us to contemplate any plans at the moment. ERNEST JOHN ALEXANDER Swoosc Best-Luthcr Road, R.D.
