A surprising number of Perfect '36ers
qualify for membership in the One Employer
Club. These steadfast fellows took a
job upon graduation and are still working
for the same company nearly 31 years later.
Paul M. Brister is among them.
He joined Babcock & Wilcox Co. in
1936 and has risen through the ranks of
the boiler division until his recent promotion
to research and development coordinator.
After serving in New York, he moved
to division headquarters in Barberton, Ohio
in 1957. He is still there, several promotions
later.
Paul holds several patents, has written
several technical papers, and is active in
the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
and the American Society for Testing
& Materials. Paul lives at 2304 Parker Rd.,
Akron, with his wife and two daughters.
Incidentally, another Cornellian took Paul's
old job as manager of utility equipment design
engineering. He is George W. Bouton
'42.
Harold Deckinger, 14 Salem Ct, Metuchen,
N.J., continues as assistant counsel,
Title Guarantee Co., but his office moved
to 120 Broadway, New York. Hal has three
sons, one married, one a sophomore at U of
Pittsburgh, and the third still in high
school.
George W. Darling, 624 Second St.,
Youngstown, sent in his class dues plus
news of his off-spring. His oldest boy graduated
from Westminster College last year
and is in the Army. His second son was a
high school honor student and New York
State scholarship winner, but Cornell refused
admission and he is a freshman in
engineering at Purdue.
Speaking of Purdue, Harold L. Hawley
went there for his MS and PhD in agricultural
economics, after getting his start
with us. He operates Gayway Farm in
Weedsport and won the Ford Efficiency
Award as a dairy farmer in 1960. He is a
new trustee of Citizens Public Expenditure
Survey, a statewide taxpayer organization.
He is a director of the New York Farm
Bureau and president of American Agriculturist
Foundation.
Another of those One Employer Club
members is Lt. Col. Howard T. Critchlow
Jr., who was commissioned upon graduation
and has remained in uniform. He took
a nine-week course at Wright-Patterson
AFB, Ohio, last winter, but should be back
at his post at Whiteman AFB, Mo., by the
time this appears. He heads the Minuteman
site modernization division.
Only one guess who was chosen "Engineer
of the Year" by the Texas Society of
Professional Engineers. Of course, it was
our own Harry E. Bovay Jr. He was honored
at a dinner in Houston which attracted
900 well-wishers. The Houston
Chronicle and Post both ran long stories
about Harry.
The Chronicle story told about Bovay's
problems in earning enough money to finance
his Cornell education during the depression,
including a three-month excursion
into the restaurant business which produced
enough profit to pay for a year's education.
The newspaper account also reported
Harry's plan to add 13,000 square feet to
his office building, and later an adjacent
high-rise structure.
Bovay Engineers, Inc. has about 250 employes
in three offices and about 150 projects
under way at all times, two-thirds of
them in the Houston area. The rest of them
are scattered around the world.
Looking for an excuse for a visit to
San Francisco? Henry Untermeyer sent a
flyer for his Golden Gate Sauna, offering
any visiting '36er a bath on the house and
inscribed "Jack Wurst bathed here." The
male bather pictured looked suspiciously
like our Hank. The female bather in an accompanying
photo looked like Saunas are
great for the figure, her's at least.
In March, Hank and wife Elaine staged
their fifth annual cook-out at Palm Springs,
Calif., honoring friends from Sweden. The
invitation was about four square feet and
featured photos of those who have attended
past events, including numerous celebrities.
Anybody know how many '36ers own an
MD degree? It must be an unusually high
number for a depression class. For example,
recent dues payers have included these
doctors: John C. Roemmelt, 722 W. Water
St., Elmira; Alexander Hatoff, 401-29th St.,
Oakland, Calif.; Nathan Scharf, 50 Little
Tor R. So., New City; and Charles B.
Steenburg, 86 Grand Blvd., Binghamton.

Well, I did it again, missed the April
issue. Hope this gets to Ithaca in time for
the May issue, or I'll be completely out of
it. Would anyone just love to take over
writing this news column?!
Dorothy Rauh Jackson has moved from
Hudson, Ohio to Haddonfield, N.J. and
likes it very much. It is nice to be near
Philadelphia, and all her old friends and
relatives who are close by. Dee and John's
children line up this way: David is still
acting in New York, Marty will be graduated
from the U of Toronto and married
this June, Anne is at Trinity in Washington,
D.C, John Jr. is at Providence, and the
other three in Haddonfield schools.
Olive Bishop Price writes she finally finished
her summer house project in November
and lived in it a week before closing it
for the winter. She was off to Florida Dec.
18 and Jan. 16 she flew to Yucatan and
Cozemul for a short visit. She planned to
be back in Washington, D.C. in February
and hoped to make North Africa in late
March. Sounds wonderful!
