It is hard to believe that the summer has come and gone and that we are already back in print. It will be nice to be hearing from you again, and for many of us to get together for football games and other activities this fall. I have a lot of news to share with you this month, but then will be looking for further word from all of you to fill future columns.

Tom Boyer has been named marketing director of the United Group. The company, which is based in Randolph, NJ, is a leading national manufacturer and installer of industrial and commercial flooring systems. Tom will be responsible for developing new marketing and sales strategies as well as all other marketing related activities. Tom has had a variety of experience in marketing capacities, having served with American District Telegraph in New York City and having been a marketing consultant with the New York firm of Mintz, Pappas and Van Dyk. After Dartmouth, where he concentrated in English and electrical engineering, he obtained a master's degree in music history from Smith College and an M.B.A. in marketing and finance from Columbia University.

And I am pleased to report that another of our classmates in the marketing field, FredericNitschelm, has been named vice president of marketing and account services for Cipriani Advertising Inc. in Boston. Fred has had ten years of experience in marketing and advertising management with companies such as Gillette, Ralston-Purina, and Wm. Underwood Company.

Most recently he managed a company which he had founded that provided financial and legal services to Massachusetts businesses. Cipriani Advertising feels that Fred's broad, client-side experience and background provide a strong addition to the company's type of management. Fred and his wife Linda, along with their two children, live in Wellesley,' MA.

Just after the deadline for our last column in the spring, I learned that Wally Ford had been named executive director and chief executive officer of the State of New York Mortgage Authority. This is an appointive office to which Wally was named by Governo Cuomo of New York and is quite a significant position. Wally's offices are at 71 Broadway in New York City. I will have more on this in the next column.
