Cliff Ransom writes that The Mighty Bubastis, the flagship of the Imperial Fleet of the Sultanate of Bubastis (my personal government) now is in the Delaware River.” Cliff’s office is in Philadelphia, where he works as the new director of research for Janney Montgomery Scott, an investment banking firm. Cliff says, “As crazy as it is to try to “manage” the egos, I do have authority to hire and expand the department, a mandate that is rare on Wall Street these days.”
Sadler Poe reports that he had a wonderful time with Roger Liddell and his family and Bill Woodward on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in NYC.
Larry Lucchino is back in the baseball news, moving from the San Diego Padres to become the CEO of the Boston Red Sox as part of the new ownership group. No less a baseball expert than Ted Williams was quoted as saying, “This is great news for Red Sox fans.”
John Neely and wife Christine Sullivan, having educated and emancipated their children, have forsaken the suburbs and moved back to Salem, Mass., into a nice Federal Period house in a dense urban neighborhood. Son Jon is pursuing a graduate degree in documentary film at Stanford; daughter Abby has taken her Princeton degree (’01) and moved to Colorado Springs; son Billy is starting at Umass-Amherst. John says, “Business is tough for those of us who provide business services to technology companies, but we are surviving.” John saw Ray Palmer at Reunions. As you may remember, Ray started with our class and graduated with ’71. John and Ray are continuing to discuss their experiences related to their service in the 101st Airborne in Vietnam.
