Because You Care

A

T THE RECENT PRESIDENT SOCIETY’S DINNER, ten Nichols students, situated around the room, rose from their seats, one by one, stated their name, hometown, and major and echoed a sentiment that gave infinite meaning to the evening and the generosity of our donors: “I’m here because you care.”

This simple yet profound gesture of appreciation expressed by these students, who are all scholarship recipients, was a way of reminding donors of the Debra M. Townsley Ph.D. impact of their support. While all donations benefit our students in tangible and intangible ways, scholarship support can perhaps make the biggest difference in their lives.

As springboards to success, scholarships motivate students financially and academically.

This is especially true of the many first-generation college students Nichols attracts.

Scholarships open doors and promote opportunities. They not only increase a student’s access to a college education, they help alleviate the very real burden of funding it. They also instill pride and plant a seed in our students by introducing them to the philanthropic notion of “paying it forward.”

The need for scholarships has become exceedingly important for today’s students. Recent statistics indicate that 2.4 million qualified students will not attend college this year because of the high cost of education. But as the cost of a college education steadily increases, so does its value. According to the latest U.S. Census, a bachelor’s degree is said to be worth $1 million over the course of a lifetime. And, the U.S. Labor Department reports that the average college graduate earns 62 percent more than high school graduates each year.

We are committed to helping our students attain their educational and professional goals, and we devote considerable resources to accommodating their needs as best we can. Each year, 95 percent of our students receive institutionally sponsored Nichols Opportunity Grants to help bridge the financial gap. For countless deserving students, these scholarships tip the balance and make the possibility of a college education a reality.

We are also fortunate to be able to offer several endowed scholarships and are grateful to the alumni and friends who create these lasting legacies. In this annual report edition of Nichols College Magazine, we recognize three such donors – Keith Anderson ’81, Peter Dixon ’70, and James Dunbar ’51 – whose reasons for giving back all vary but whose investment in Nichols yields a direct and personal benefit to our students.

Our gratitude runs deep to these and all of the donors listed in this issue. Our students continue to grow and thrive, seize opportunities, and meet the challenges of their generation . . . because you care.

ike Matros ’07 is just one of a growing number of young entrepreneurs starting businesses while still in college. “I want to help active families take control of their clutter,” says the high octane business management major, “and I promise to make their garages the envy of the neighborhood.”

Matros’s company, Garage Galore, uses the newest home organization solutions, including stack-on cabinets, flooring, and overhead storage racks to tailor a solution for each client. It all started after he researched the multibillion dollar home remodeling industry for a management class in June 2005.

With the support of his dad, Matros took out a small business loan from Hudson Savings Bank in his hometown of Marlboro. “Your business plan must have all your facts and numbers right,” he says. “The Bank wants to see the revenues you project.”

Mike uses his stabilized trailer to market his service at home remodeling shows, to store cabinets needing to be assembled, and as a temporary holding tank for displaced junk as storage cabinets are installed (at an extra fee to the client, of course!).

According to Dave Seiders, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), 2006 spending is forecasted at $233 billion, up from $215 in 2005. NAHB also reports that 83% of new single homes do have a “galore” of two and threecar garages.

The first job came out of the blue. “My Dad kept telling his work friends about my service, and a vice president said that he was looking to de-clutter his garage. I gave him an estimate and started the work immediately.”

After putting up specially designed wall panels and installing hooks, Matros hangs elevated cabinets that can be moved anywhere and changed at will. There are accessories to hang golf clubs, lawn and garden tools, sports equipment, and bikes. “Everything’s adjustable,” he notes, “and I also install rubberized floors or paint on epoxy to concrete flooring.”

Matros has eight distributor licenses for wholesale garage system vendors across the country and an agreement with a Worcester terminal to handle all freight palettes. “I don’t have to keep much inventory and have only spent about $5,000 for local advertising.” So far, he’s working everyday after his classes and on the weekends to take care of the jobs booked.

Matros loves to work with his

“Nichols students appreciate the fact that I’m just a guy trying to make a buck.”

hands. “I could never have a 9-5 job,” he says. “My business background has really given me a solid foundation for this contracting business.”

After graduation, Matros hopes to open a warehouse and increase his inventory 100 percent. Most importantly, he wants to franchise the business and include a trailer, supplies, and advertising.

“People just don’t have time to clean their own garages,” concludes Matros. “I told myself that if I’m going to start a business, I’m going to do it right.”

Nichols SGA Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary

N

ichols Student Government Association (SGA) celebrated its 30th Anniversary with an October 14th reception in the Ingraham Room. A record was set when all four 2005 officers returned for a second year as Nichols 2006 leadership team, including President Kristin Mason, Vice President Rob MacCallum, Treasurer Nicole McEachern, and Secretary Karin Anderson.

Nichols SGA is the governing body of the student community that has jurisdiction over aspects of student life, including club activities, social events, student conduct, and residence hall living. “For thirty years, students at Nichols have taken the opportunity to serve their peers in an effort to make Nichols the best it can be,” comments Mason at the cel-

Mason and Anderson

ebration, “and I thank my fellow SGA officers, current and past, for their years of service as student government leaders.”

Mason adds that “Being the SGA President has given me a different outlook on life. It’s thrown me into a professional world, and for this experience, I am very grateful.”

Heather Barbour, director of student activities & orientation, says that these SGA officers “have become an institution on campus. Whether through student activities or through classroom participation, they are wellknown and respected.

They are my go-to people and have done an amazing job.” Barbour is, in fact, quite upset about losing her four seniors: “They’re leaving a big hole in my heart.”

In September, SGA made a con-

NICHOLS COLLEGE MAGAZINE WINTER 2007

certed effort to fill the gap by increasing participation of freshmen, sophomores and juniors. Events, such as a Make Your Own Sundae social for freshmen to peak interest in running for class officer positions and a Leadership Symposium organized by Mason and Anderson featuring teambuilding sessions, have been wellattended by students. Anderson says, “We want to be proactive in recruiting new leaders to replace the seniors graduating, including seven who are leaving the Executive Advisory Board.”

Every year there are freshmen who never leave their room,” says MacCallum. “Students need to get involved and balance social with academic activities. That’s how I fell in love with this school.”

The other officers agree that each student must be responsible for mak-

ing his or her own experience meaningful, and to do that, it’s best to get involved. Mason adds that as a teaching assistant for the Professional Development Seminar for freshmen, she sees individuals who just can’t flow into a crowd at Nichols.

“Eventually they find their niche,” replies MacCallum, “or transfer into larger schools. You just can’t hide at Nichols because it’s a small campus.”

“One of our goals was to make things better for the clubs because there were just too many rules,” says Mason. “We decided to take it easy, step back, and reward the groups doing good things, rather than hunt down officers for 30 clubs and demand their paperwork.” This action has effectively improved club participation. The officers are proud of the growth and support of the women’s ice hockey and men’s rugby clubs.

It’s uncanny how each SGA officer’s personality is perfectly suited for his or her position and how close they are to each other. The three female officers live together in Kuppenheimer Hall and all four officers are orientation leaders. “We have a rapport with each other and are determined to make SGA an even more vital and responsive organization this year,” says Mason.

President Mason is a double business major in human resource management and management. She expertly and efficiently manages large, weekly SGA meetings held in Davis Hall; speaks at Convocation, Graduation and trustee meetings; and attends almost every event on campus. Mason loves Professor Art Duhaime’s Current Issues and Trends in Management class, and

confides that she would “love to be a CEO someday. I believe in setting goals and having the right people around you.”

Vice President MacCallum, a sport management major who wants to focus on marketing, lives in Olsen.

“I enjoy my position and all of its challenges,” he says, including one major responsibility for organizing the Red Cross Blood Drive each semester and meeting a goal of 60 pints. He started out as the commuter council president and is particularly sensitive to making commuters feel connected to what’s happening on campus.

Treasurer McEachern is also a sport management major, but unlike MacCallum, she’s more interested in the analytical side and wants to be a general manager of a team. “She’s excellent with numbers and has a memory like a steel trap,” says Barbour. Nicole implemented a rolling budget to better handle new expenses and manage clubs that ask for money, but never get around to doing their event. Now, SGA doesn’t have to take back significant un-used monies at the end of the school year.

Secretary Anderson is a criminal justice major and psychology minor.

Anderson’s position has morphed to include more than taking minutes, as she recently helped organize the Leadership Symposium which included a motivational speaker. She is also a resident assistant and chuckles as

she notes that she’s very law abiding and follows the rules.

When the officers were asked what gift they would most like to leave to the next generation of Nichols students, they were unanimous – a Student Center. Mason says, “More space is needed for events and meetings because the snack bar in Alumni Hall is packed at 1:30 p.m. for organizations wanting to combine ‘eating with meeting.’ We have no physically space for them.”

All of the 2005-2006 Nichols SGA officers have been named to the 2007 Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities for their potential for continued success. May their professional and personal dreams come true; we thank them for their outstanding service to the College.

Boisjolie Test Drives an HR Career

O

n June 15th, Stacy Boisjolie, Nichols human resource management intern at LEGO’s manufacturing plant in Enfield, Conn., was told that outsourcing to Mexico would eliminate 290 jobs. With consumer electronics radically changing the toy industry, LEGO found itself in a market crowded with cut-price products.

“The Company values its employees,” says Boisjolie. “So, it was a difficult decision for everyone involved to relocate labor-intensive production.”

“Stacy was literally thrown into the frying pan of globalization,” says Associate Dean of Business Libba Moore. “She emailed me weekly logs that demonstrated her maturity and ability to tackle difficult projects.”

This included working on an Apollo outsourcing project and “resiliency training,” and attending a meeting with the U.S. Department of Labor about its dislocated worker assistance program.

Putting Education to Work

The Human Resource Management Program is one of three business specializations, including Business Communications and Sport Management, requiring an internship to graduate.

The 120 hour, two-month internship put Boisjolie’s classroom knowledge to the test. She fine tuned her skills doing 360 degree performance evaluations learned in Professor Mary Trottier’s staffing class. She also updated LEGO’s crisis manage-

10

ment policy manual with a section on bird flu contingency planning which will be later presented to the American management team for consideration.

Like LEGO’s interlocking block presenting unlimited building possibilities, Boisjolie’s LEGO’s internship helped her test drive an HR career before she made a long-term commitment. She discovered that she loved employee interaction. “The experience taught me that I have the compassion needed to make a difference,” she says. “I want to be an HR consultant who helps other people.”

“I feel that Nichols has educationally-prepared me to excel in my field of choice,” says Boisjolie. “LEGO’s HR Director was an incredible professional, and I am so thankful to have worked with her.” Boisjolie plans to use the network of contacts she made and her stellar work portfolio to position for future employment opportunities, and notes, “My internship was all about preparing for life after Nichols.”

SCHOLARSHIPS Gifts of Opportunity B Y J U L IE E R R IC O n high school, Yarelis Velez dreamed of being the first in her family to attend college. However, with the pressing financial needs of five siblings at home, Velez faced an uphill battle. “My parents didn’t think college was a possibility for me. It’s been a real sacrifice on their part.” She thanks her high school guidance counselor for showing her parents how to gather the resources and is grateful to be the 2006-2007 Russell E. Fuller Scholarship recipient.

But Velez still struggles to pay her tuition costs, including working 25 hours a week in an accounts payable department. Despite the hardships, she’s close to fulfilling her dream of teaching business education to high school students when she graduates in the spring of 2007 with a major in business management.

Every year, Nichols students like Velez depend on scholarships, grants and financial aid to help them get into college, stay in school, and graduate. Some students benefit from endowed scholarships established by Nichols alumni or by family members in honor of a child. In 2006, Nichols awarded endowed scholarships to 55 students.

s a junior majoring in business management, Joe Richardson was thrilled when he was awarded the Peter B.

I plan to study economics at the graduate level, so this scholarship helps to keep my debt manageable.” hile scholarships help students financially, they also motivate students academically. For Colin Shields, who has a double major in business communiAndrew Perna ’07 cations and sport management, receiving the Elizabeth and Henri David Annual Scholarship was proof that hard work in the classroom truly pays off.

“Personally, I was driven to excel in my studies to show that the scholarship was well invested.

Financially, some of the burden of paying for college was put to rest and that allowed me to focus on my academics.” Since receiving this scholarship award, Shields has maintained a GPA above 3.0 and earned an internship at Madison Square Garden. He’s very active on campus as a member of the varsity lacrosse team, as a resident assistant, and as a Nichols sports broadcaster. He was recently named to the 2007 edition of Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.

Ninety-five percent of Nichols students currently receive Nichols grants. On average, Nichols contributes about $10,000 per student in merit and needbased grants. Even with Nichols contributions, state and federal aid, Colin Shields ’07 and the family’s contribution, most students have about a $7,200 gap in financial aid coverage. For families, bridging that gap is a challenge.

“It’s as if we are putting together a patchwork quilt when we’re trying to meet the needs of students,” said Diane Gillespie,

Jim Dunbar ’51 As the Chairman and CEO of Dunbar Armored, the nation’s largest independent armored car and full-service security organization, Jim Dunbar ‘51 recognizes the important role that education is taking to bridge the gap between law enforcement and private security.

“I noticed that Nichols had not yet developed a Criminal Justice Management (CJM) Program,” says Dunbar.

“Realizing the value of an educational background in criminal justice in today’s environment, I decided to help start a program and conferred with President Townsley and Dean Reinhardt.” In 2002, he set up the James L. Dunbar Endowed Scholarship in Criminal Justice with a $50,000 gift. The gift supports the CJM Program at Nichols and also provides scholarships for students in that major.

“Given the tremendous growth in law enforcement, private security and ‘Homeland Security’ in particular, it has become more important than ever for security professionals to share their knowledge,” says Dunbar.

“Ultimately, an education in criminal justice management breaks down the walls between private and public security organizations and provides students with a better understanding of today’s security environment. I am truly gratified to be able to contribute to the enrichment of deserving students who are likely candidates for security careers.”

Peter Dixon ’81 Peter Dixon’s motivation to endow a scholarship came as a result of his experience as a Nichols College trustee. “During my service on the Board of Trustees in the mid to late 1990’s,” says Dixon, “I saw the College move forward and break away from a somewhat passive, status quo institution, to one with a broader curriculum and greater financial stability. I was excited about the progress and wanted to be a part of it.”

Dixon, a former national sales manager for several financial investment companies, including Morgan Stanley and Bear Stearns and Company, comments that his original intention in endowing the scholarship was to broaden the geographical base of the College — to get the name of Nichols more recognized outside the New England area and in his home state of New Jersey. “I now see the scholarship as a way I can give back to Nichols and its students.

It’s so expensive to attend college today, and students need all of the help they can get. I want to do my part and give them opportunities they might not otherwise have.”

director of admissions and financial aid. “For some of them, it’s just a matter of hitting the packaging button, and they’re all set. But other well-qualified students have significant special needs. And when you’re trying to get those students in, it’s a struggle every year.”

Unfortunately, the lack of resources sometimes prevents students from attending Nichols, notes Gillespie. “Last year we had an incredible candidate for Nichols. She had a high grade point average, was a two-sport athlete, and an all-around great kid.

Nichols was her first choice, but we couldn’t meet her financial need. She ended up attending another college. I hate to say this, but it was for a $1,000 difference. This happens frequently — it’s not an uncommon event.”

And what’s wrong with a highly qualified student attending another school?

Nichols has a unique track record of success in educating first generation and upwardly mobile, college-bound students.

They benefit from the Nichols environment, the business curriculum and from excellent teaching.

From a purely selfish standpoint, Nichols recruits classes, not just individuals, and these highly motivated students contribute enormously to the overall social and educational experience of the entire student body.

Gillespie says that her goal is to direct the funds where they’re most needed. “We know which students struggle for every dollar. It would be great to be able to help a student stay at Nichols for four years.

We’ve had seniors who have not graduated because we couldn’t find the resources for them,” she adds.

For the Financial Aid Office, that additional resource is often the General Scholarship Fund. “The

Nichols has a unique track record of success in educating first generation and upwardly mobile, college-bound students.

General Scholarship Fund is the glue that holds the students’ financial aid packages together,” says Gillespie. “Because the disbursement of this fund is at our discretion, it provides us with the most flexibility in allocating funds. I think that if donors really understood the complexity of how a class comes together and how we compete for students who are a good fit and will succeed at Nichols, they would allow us more latitude when designating their scholarship dollars. The fewer restrictions donors put on their scholarship or donation, the better job we can do making competitive awards to appropriate candidates.” hile all recipients Scholarship Recipients express their gratitude to (L to R) Top: Andrew Perna; Darren Zow; Patricia Cody scholarship donors, perhaps Joe (L to R) Bottom: Glenn Cacaro; Kristen Harmon; Joe Richardson; Richardson ’08 Stephanie Jacques states it best: “I appreciate the individuals who have made it possible for me to attend Nichols. Their generosity not only allows me to attend Nichols, it motivates me to do the best I can while I’m here.”

Because of his own experience at Nichols, Keith Anderson ’81, a global chief investment officer for fixed income at BlackRock, recognizes the importance of scholarships to students. However, it was not until he read about the pending retirement of Nichols professor Dr. Keith Corkum that Anderson decided to take action.

“While many of the excellent professors at Nichols had an impact on me,” he says, “no one was more influential than Dr. Corkum. When I read about his retirement after 36 years of dedicated service, I thought it would be great to honor his commitment with a scholarship.”

In 2003 Anderson established the Keith Corkum Endowed Scholarship in Economics with a $25,000 challenge grant. So far, three students have been recipients. “To me, the Scholarship serves two purposes. It allows me to honor Dr. Corkum’s contribution to the school and to target my gift for something I know is very worthwhile. I have been excited to see other former students of Dr. Corkum add to the fund.” Anderson adds, “It is my hope that other alumni who have had similar experiences with their professors will do the same to honor them and benefit current and future Nichols students.”

ith son Jeffrey by his side, Philip Gould took a long and satisfied look at granddaughter Sally Gould-Riggio’s retail location on 8 North Main Street. It’s nestled between trendy downtown shops in historic Essex, Connecticut.

Success at business development runs in the family. All three generations of Goulds – Philip, Jeffrey, and Sally – graduated from Nichols College with a business degree and fit the College’s alumni statistic as the one in ten graduates who is a CEO, president, or business owner.

PHILIP GOULD CLASS OF 1942

Philip Gould graduated from Nichols in 1942 and was inducted into the Nichols College Hall of Fame in 1972 for ice hockey and basketball.

He admits that he wasn’t much of a student, as at that time, he was undiagnosed for dyslexia. “Nichols professors were tough,” he recalls.

“Colonel Conrad was president, and there were no enrolled women! But, I loved the campus and made lifelong friends.”

Philip was president of a Beta Cella Rata fraternity, which wasn’t Greek at all, but rather, a reference to “cellar rats,” a group of jocks who hung out in the basement of Budleigh Hall, playing pool and professing a mission to spread “school spirit to every corner of the campus.”

As captain of the baseball team, Philip fondly remembers Coach Hal Chalmers “as a wonderful gentleman.” Philip jokes that he “took too many pucks in the head” as captain of an inexperienced ice hockey team, but with other first liners Mellor and Pitt, he Three generations of Gould entrepreneurs: Jeffrey, Sally and worked hard to position Philip inside the 8 Main Street shop, soon to be transformed into Monogram on Main the puck and score.

“I first started working there in 1984 and love to talk to Chinese business students about what it means to be an American businessman and a capitalist.”

“There are areas so polluted in China, you can wave your hand and see the air move,” he says, noting that the country is trying to deal with environmental concerns while maximizing natural resources to meet the needs of its 1.3 billion inhabitants.

Sally transferred to Nichols and lived on campus in Merrill Hall for two years with best friend Samantha Libby. But she decided to accept an administrative position with a construction company and keep her fulltime status by taking courses through Nichols Graduate and Professional Studies (GPS) Office at satellite locations in Leominster and Auburn.

Although she was the youngest in her GPS classes by about 15 years, Sally enjoyed taking classes with working

SALLY GOULD-RIGGIO CLASS OF 1993

Sally Gould enrolled in Springfield College’s physical therapy program after graduating from Valley Regional High School. “I was absolutely terrified at Springfield,” says Sally, “It has such a big campus. I called my Dad crying and said that I just couldn’t go back at the end of the semester.”

To help his daughter, Jeffrey sprang into action by calling Nichols College Dean Edward Warren, a classmate of Jeffrey’s from The

professionals. “They were there because they wanted to be and brought into our discussions such interesting experience!”

Sally found her true vocation when she decided to open a boutique with her husband. “When the shop first opened, I thought I could bring my kids with me to the store, but after two weeks, I got a nanny. Then I hired a store manager. What was I thinking?!”

Sally plans to transform her boutique into Monogram on Main in January of 2007. “You have to constantly reinvent yourself in retail,”

says the small business owner, who’s spent her career marketing to families just like the Goulds – successful, athletic, and passionate for golf, tennis, and sailing.

BUSINESS DRIVEN

While all three Goulds are firmly rooted in Essex, Conn., each generation has had to face decidedly different business curriculums.

Typing wasn’t a required course for Philip in the 1940’s, but it was for Jeffrey in the 1960’s. Jeffrey notes that when his daughter Sally came to Nichols, she had to have a computer.

“But I had to learn the new technologies from scratch,” he says. “Now, with a cell phone, computer, and wideband connection, I can do my job from anywhere, at anytime.”

While Philip’s advice to Nichols students is to “learn all you can and pay attention,” Jeffrey has a more sobering message: “The students of today need to open their minds, and think globally. Do your own homework and develop your own perspective.”

Sally is adamant that her biggest challenge has nothing to do with being a business owner, but everything to do with her #1 priority to be a great mom. The Riggio’s have four children: Taylor (age 11); Lexie (age 10); Callie (age 7); and Jeffrey (age 6). They live down the street from grandparents Jeffrey and Laura Gould, and close to great-grandparents “Tedi” (Gloria) and Philip Gould. ll three generations of Gould entrepreneurs are independent souls and hard workers who have set their business goals with clear purpose. When they graduated, they were ready to take risk to reach that new vision or dream. Nichols is proud to have them as alumni.

Homecoming 2006 Pumpkins, fall foliage, and comradeship of classmates helped make this year’s Fall Fest a spectacular success.

On Friday, September 22nd, Homecoming kicked off with the Annual Alumni Awards Ceremony and Hall of Fame Induction in the newly-renovated Auditorium. From standing ovations to Red Sox references, alumni and guests enjoyed the evening.

Saturday featured a popular pumpkin painting contest, a clown who decorated faces and created balloon characters, and sporting events.

The men’s soccer and football teams were victorious during this special weekend.

We would like to thank alumni, faculty, staff, and friends for coming back to the Hill!

A View from the Hill

By Brianne Callahan, Director of Alumni Relations

I write this column with mixed emotions as it will be my last as director of alumni relations at Nichols College. By the time you read this, I will be having new adventures in Nashville, Tenn. I will forever be grateful for the opportunities that Nichols has offered me and I especially want to take a moment to thank Susan Veshi, director of development, for her ongoing guidance and support. If I made a list of every alumnus/na who has made an impact on me professionally and personally, it would fill this entire magazine. It was an honor and pleasure to represent the alumni of Nichols College!

Homecoming 2006 was a chance to reconnect and reminisce with classmates. There were alumni who had not seen each other for over 50 years! I dare not repeat some of the stories that I heard, but I am overjoyed when alumni come together to share fond memories of Nichols. I would like to thank the following people for their determination in bringing classmates together: Lisa (Mongillo) Andriole ’91, Art Fries ’56, Ray Faucher ’56, Tom Keith ’56, and the late Dick Schachet ’56. I had the privilege of working with Dick on planning the 50th Class Reunion for over a year before he passed away suddenly just weeks before Homecoming.

Save the date for Homecoming 2007: Friday, September 14th and Saturday, September 15th. Class years ending in

2 and 7 are celebrating a reunion. Please contact the Alumni Relations Office if you are interested in organizing a reunion committee.

Herb Kaupe enjoyed his visit to Nichols in October and noticed many great changes that have occurred since he was a student in the 1940s.

Larry Student writes: Bob Green and Rose Green were in the Northeast for a cruise in late July and I met them for dinner at the Johnson & Wales Inn in Seekonk, just outside Providence. We had a delightful evening and spoke of Nichols and the class of ’48 members.

My wife, Barbara, her son, Michael, and his wife, Miya, now have two children: Boaz (2 ½) and Saul (1 month.). They live nearby in Arlington, MA. My grandson, Sandy, was inducted in the Camp Timberlake West Hall of Fame. He continues to amaze me; he is 15 years old and six feet tall. He plays basketball, baseball, football, and has had a hole-inone at golf. My son, Michael, is an international attorney with offices in Helsinki, Finland, and New York City.

He is a partner at the law firm of Brown and Rudnick in New York. Michael, his wife Barbara, and son, Sandy, live in Scarsdale, NY. The book Shirley (deceased) and I wrote for Tuttle Publishing in 1991 has sold over 40,000 copies. The title of the book is Beginning Bonsai, the Gentle Art of Miniature Tree Growing. There is a copy in the Nichols College Library. I volunteer several hours at Health Alliance in Leominster, MA. All else is well.

Bob Green writes: My wife, Rose, and I took a river cruise which began in Rhode Island and went down along the Long Island Sound and up the Hudson River. We couldn’t go all the way to Quebec because of flooding on the Erie Canal.

Leaves turning, fall on the Hill, fresh crisp air, chilly fingertips and spectacular view. I usually try to do a write-up of one or two of our classmates, but for this issue I thought that I would go back to some of our memories.

Juan Cambo – Taking grounders and practicing his swing (Very cold here) Bob Bacon – High honors student and always tutoring the less smart (Charlie Foote and Bob Risk) Al Hanlon – I have to study (Where are my notes and books? Can I borrow a pencil?)

John Durney writes: Nichols was a nurturing environment and I remember having mixed feelings about leaving this pretty campus and going out to face the big bad world. But I did, as did the others, and years later realized Nichols was a learning experience that helped jump-start my career path, if not, indeed, my life. How was it possible that this small college could have such a large impact in our lives? It’s a question I have occasionally thought about and I think it was due in part to Nichols being a close community of friendships, with classes taught in small groups, good instructor/student relationships, sports, school activities, winter carnivals and just a group of fun-loving guys (lots of laughs). Nichols was home, but we enjoyed our time away from the Hill by getting our burger fix

1959 Charlie Howe ’62 writes: It is always nice receiving a short note from someone you haven’t heard from in over 47 years. A little over a month ago, I received an email from an address that read Stuttle703@aol.com; it was from Sandy (Sanford) Tuttle. His friend, John Girvin, and I thought that he was living somewhere in Ohio, but we had no contact. We now have his contact information and he can be reached at Tuttle Graphic Services, PO Box 703 in Hudson, OH, 44236. He has had a little bit of a rough year, with surgery to his

neck and his back. Everything seems to be fine at this point. Sandy spends part of the winter in Port St. Lucie, beginning in January. He is looking forward to seeing everyone in Naples, FL, at our winter gathering. I’m sure that John and Ken Beyer ’60 will be happy to see him, as will I. We missed Chick (Elliot) Putnam last year; I hope he can come this year. If it works out, I am going to try to head north to Sarasota for the gathering this year, I also plan to be in Naples. Now to some housekeeping, Harvey Gluck promised me some pictures, still waiting! What ever happened to Burt Yagoda from Brooklyn, NY? I am still waiting for someone to pick up the ball and take over the Class Scribe job for 1959. Mr. Westover may turn over in his grave, but I promise not to complain about or correct sentence structure. That’s all for now, keep in touch.

17468 Cornflower Ln. Punta Gorda, FL 33955 941-575-8150

Happy to be back in Florida, I arrived in early October to some warm weather.

Kate and I had a great summer in Surf City, NJ, but always look forward to getting back to our home in Punta Gorda. It’s been even better without any hurricanes to worry about. I will share a bit of info with you all. The insurance industry has taken aim on everyone down here, and it is not unusual to see your home owner’s bill double or triple in one year. Who knows what we have in store for us in 2007. Florida is a nice place to live, but it is getting more expensive each year.

I received a short note from Bob

Colombo reporting from Prosperity, SC. They recently sold their summer home in Vermont and bought a chalet in Murphy, NC, which is in the mountains of western North Carolina. (I wonder if there is any granite in them there hills.)

He received a nice letter from Bruce Haslun ’63 who lives about an hour away.

Dick Makin and his wife, Pam, are back in Florida after spending a pleasant summer in New Jersey. While up in Montclair he had hoped to run into PZ (Paul Zimmerman) but never did.

Dick and Pam played in the Nichols 28th Annual Alumni Golf Tournament this past summer, but as he said, “did little to hold up the honor of the Class of ’62.

Bart Henkle dropped me a line. He is living in Harbor Hills on Lake Griffin, FL, which is situated between Ocala and Leesberg. They also have a summer place in Telloco Village near Knoxville, TN. I was able to give him Jack Hula’s telephone number in Iowa, and in a subsequent email he said that he was able to make contact. Who could forget those smooth “dunk” shots executed by Jack; Hal Chalmers loved him.

Hugo Pagliccia ’63 wrote that he recently talked with George Zimmer ’63, with whom he hadn’t talked since graduation. George lives with his wife, Linda, on a lake in the Poconos. Both are retired and doing some part-time work to keep busy. George mentioned to Hugo that he has been looking for Stephen Smith. (Note to George, there were two Stephen Smiths; the one who graduated in 1960 was a basketball player from Scarsdale, NY, and the other was a graduate of 1961. Stephen Smith ’61 lives in Myrtle Beach, SC, and Stephen Smith ’60 lives in Moody, ME.) George was also friendly with Bob Sharp ’63, who later went on to become a national figure in the racing world. As I mentioned in my last notes, Hugo’s and Carol’s son has been through some serious medical problems but is doing fine at this point. Hugo said

that he has a great attitude and is currently plant manager for Mack Molding in Vermont. Two years ago he inherited a plant that was rated eigth in efficiency out of eight plants and has turned it around to be the #1 in both profitability and efficiency. By the way, Hugo Pagliccia III ’83 is also a Nichols graduate. Hugo and I both know that JT (Coach Turro) is in his glory right now, with the Giants being in first place.

(Could there be a post season playoff in their future?)

I’m still occasionally receiving articles from my good friend Philip (Pete) Judd, who is trying to influence and redirect my political thinking. By the time the next issue is printed, the November election will be over, and hopefully we can boast of a new positive direction for our country and the world. God bless America. I am looking forward to hearing from more of you between now and the next issue. Have a great winter.

Be sure to mark your calendar for Homecoming next year, it will be our 45th reunion!

R. Allen Elliot writes: After working for Westchester County for 44 years straight out of Nichols in 1962 – retired as of August 1, 2006. My first year was as a public administration intern, which gave me the insight into the workings of Westchester County and became a very pivotal year for me. I had graduated from Nichols with a BBA with a minor in forestry and was planning on moving into the county’s Parks Department with the training Nichols had provided.

However, I never made it. During my first year, I worked in over seven county departments with the Finance Department Data Processing Division, being one of them. I got absolutely hooked on computers and with forestry forsaken for the world of information technology, I began my 43-year journey through this world, which ended July 28, 2006, leaving as the deputy chief information officer. It has been a fabulous time, all beginning with Nichols.

In early August, Carol and I were at our favorite watering hole in Orleans, Cape Cod. At 2 p.m., we’re within an inch or two of finishing some “dimmies” (I wish!). There wasn’t an empty place at the bar when I noticed a couple come in and look unhappy to find no room. I catch their attention and indicate we’re on our way out. As we stand, I put on my rather natty green and white Nichols College baseball cap, and the guy looks and says, “Did you go there or just like the cap?”

I introduced myself to Jeff Havlick ’68; he was a forestry major and also the chief of the Nichols College Fire Department. After graduation, he was drafted in the Army and served in Germany. When Jeff got back to the states he wanted to get into forestry work and applied for a job at Nickerson State Forest in Orleans. He got the job, but, on reflection, realized he really didn’t want to work for the government anymore. However, he did like the area.

He settled in the carpentry business and has been on Cape Cod ever since.

Good note from Doug Hall ’61.

Earlier in the year he had some heart work done, by-passes and a valve job.

All went well and Doug says in his mind he’s ready to run some plays with his teammate, John Miles ’60.

However, he thinks for now his daily 15 minutes on the treadmill and lung exercises are keeping him pretty busy.

Doug and Phil Moynihan ’64 had remained close over the years and he was so deeply saddened by Phil’s death earlier this year at the age of 64. I last

38

saw Phil in the 1970s. He’d been in a horrendous motorcycle accident that left his legs paralyzed and was wheelchair bound. Doug, who had been living in Las Vegas since 1978, moved to Lake George, NY, in 1983 to maintain Phil’s boat, yard and house. He was doing the cooking as well as helping to take care of the three Moynihan children on weekends. After a lot of rehab, Phil was able to get up on crutches and Doug returned to Las Vegas in 1993. In 2000, Phil had an attack of gout that caused atrophy and had to return to a wheelchair. Doug ends his note, “Sure do miss our bi-monthly phone chats. He was a dear friend.”

Bob Colombo ’62 lives in Prosperity, that’s a small town here in South Carolina, not a state of bliss. He and his wife had maintained a summer place up north in Barre, VT, but the commute got to be too much so they bought a place in the mountains of North Carolina. Once a highlander, always a highlander! Bob complains they still aren’t high enough to get the cool summer weather that he likes.

They plan to start looking again this fall and won’t consider anything under 3,000 feet. Here I am, a born lowlander, looking for a sand dune about 30 feet above high tide!

I had lunch with Dave Schemm ’61 at a local pizza pub. We asked the waitress to bring a fresh beer anytime she noticed an empty and whiled away a great couple of hours. Of course we did lots of catching up about Nichols. Dave had some terrific, new-to-me stories that once again made me wonder when any of us ever had time for the incidental things like classes and homework!

Dave and I were also lucky enough to be in the military at ages when it did us a lot of good; he served in the USMC and I served in the USCG. As a member of the fleet marines, he was aboard a Navy ship and had a bunch of good sea stories to share. I had such a good time we’ve vowed to get together again when he returns from an annual fish-

ing/hunting trip to Alaska.

In late September, Carol and I drove up to Charlotte, NC, to spend the weekend with Ed Mazzetta ’64 and his wife, Suzanne. They have a condo about 30 steps from their golf club where Ed spends all possible weekends. That’s probably just as well as it keeps him out of the way while Suzanne works her decorating magic on their beautiful home. Again, great fun catching up on happenings in our own lives and then talking about other friends we’ve stayed in touch with. At the end of September they leave for their other home in Florida.

After learning of the passing of Joseph Lovejoy, I talked to John (Jack) Lubbers ’62. Both Jack and I had roomed with Joe and enjoyed his friendship at Nichols. I wrote a letter of sympathy to the Lovejoy family and received a most gracious reply that I shared with Jack and we talked about our memories of Joe. I mentioned to Jack my experience at the Land Ho in Orleans. He said, a few years ago that he and Theresa were in a favorite local pub in Charleston, SC, and a young woman on the customer side of the bar says to the young barmaid, “So, when do you have to go back to Dudley?” At first opportunity Jack asks, “Where’s Dudley?”, and the barmaid tells him, “It’s a town in Massachusetts. I go to college there, and I’m majoring in finance.” Either associates of Nichols spend entirely too much time in bars or it’s a small world.

Since anyone who went to Nichols and studied logic under Mr. Carr knows, it isn’t possible to spend too much time in bars; ergo we must inhabit a small world.

I would love to receive an e- or a Snail mail if the spirit so moves. You can also almost invariably reach me by phone at 5 p.m. any afternoon. Y’all keep in touch.

1967 Marty “Spyder” Myers writes: While looking at the last page of the latest magazine I saw a picture of some Budleigh Boys circa 1965. I came across this picture below and it brought back some memories. This is a picture of Mr. Murphy, the professor in charge of the Underhill Dormitory my freshman year. It was his birthday and he was lured into the hall, and Marty Lauer ’65 instigated this hilarious incident. It is a good thing Mr. Murphy had a good sense of humor, or it wouldn’t have been done. There were a lot of pleasant memories from my four years at Nichols. The business discipline and lessons were never forgotten and stayed with me over the years. I have been able to pass them on to my children, who attended good colleges and have excellent jobs today.

NEIL HOLT ’76 Wilton, Connecticut Employment: Senior Vice President National Advertising Sales, MTV Networks Greatest lesson I learned from a Nichols faculty/staff member was from Dean Eaton. He saw something in me that others did not. I was fortunate to have been able to speak with the dean when I drove up to see the College. I had not yet been accepted to any of the colleges to which I had applied. I was pretty desperate and was beginning to lose hope of getting a college education. Dean Eaton believed that there was a place for me at Nichols and that I could succeed. He gave me that opportunity for success. From that, I learned that if I looked at everyone as an individual, I would be able to see more in that person than what others might.

My Nichols degree gave me my start. I could be considered for employment in the business world. As important, was the life experience at Nichols which helped me to grow in areas where I had a need to progress. I have wonderful memories of great times with friends like Jimmy Auld, Dave French, Sean McAvoy, David Hall, and John Levandowski. Sadly, after college we lost touch and that is a regret I now have.

My classmates would be surprised to learn that… Probably that I am still alive… that I have a wife of 19 years and three children (17, 12 and 8 years)… that I have worked at NBC, ESPN Programming and Sales, FOX Network and MTV Sales over my 30-year career… that I adopted my daughter, Anna, from Russia 5 years ago… and that I live in Wilton, CT, and commute into New York City almost 2 hours each way, every day.

Christopher and Matthew, both afflicted with a rare blood disease, were granted a wish by the Make a Wish Foundation this year.

Christopher is a huge movie buff so his wish was to go to the world premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and meet

Johnny Depp. On June 24, 2006, the Vroman family traveled to California where they walked the “red carpet” at the Pirates 2 premiere and spent some time with a very gracious and humble Johnny Depp. Christopher declared, “It was the best day of my whole life.”

Greatest lesson I learned from a Nichols faculty/staff member was putting our skills we learned in class into real world situations. Professor Down’s strategic management class was probably the best class I took. It put all the skills I learned over my four years into action. He ran the class like no other professor. It was a hard class and we had to work hard, but he was preparing us for what was to come. The interviewing skills in PDS were wonderful, now that I am interviewing people all day long.

Aimee Levesque and Jason Jalbert were married at the Chapel in the Clouds, Las Vegas. She is a human resources recruiter for Carroll Enterprise Inc., Worcester. The groom is a masonry union member with BAC Local 1, Worcester. The couple is living in Thompson, CT.

My Nichols degree helped me to obtain a good job, in which I am learning new things every day, and I am meeting so many different people. I am hoping this job will lead me to bigger and better things within the government.

Class Scribe MICHELLE BROWN

My classmates would be surprised to learn that after leaving Nichols as class of 2005 president, I went on to become a special background investigator for a private company based out of Virginia, that has a contract with the Office of Personnel Management to do background investigations for people applying for government jobs. Currently I am ranked #1 out of 16 on my team for the highest number of leads per day.

Jeremy R. Lemoine has been named public relations coordinator for the American Hockey League’s Worcester Sharks. He will be responsible for the team website as well as all publicity for the team. Before joining the Sharks, he spent one season as content manager for the Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League, interned with the Philadelphia Flyers’ marketing department and served in the public relations department of the Delaware Smash of World Team Tennis.

If Nichols started a time capsule in 2005 my contribution would be… This is a hard one! I would say my leadership skills (class officer, orientation leader, peer tutor, and other clubs). Learning these leadership skills is a great thing. They will only help you get ahead in the business world, and they look great on a resume.

Michael Charpentier and Colleen McRell were married in September.

Michael is a retirement investment specialist with Fidelity Investments in Malborough, MA. Colleen is a graduate of the University of New England, Biddleford, ME and is a quality control analyst with Genzyme Corp., Framingham.

Amanda Fallows and Brian Sandman were married at St. Margaret Mary’s Church, Worcester. She is a financial analyst with UMass Memorial Healthcare, Worcester. The groom is a customer sales rep with Kraft Foods, Worcester. The couple took a trip to

Niagara Falls, Canada, and currently reside in Worcester.

Jeffrey Norwood recently purchased his first home in Rochdale, MA. He also will celebrate his one-year anniversary at National Grid in Northborough, where he is a customer service coach.

Debra Scanlon of Auburn, MA, has been hired as an assistant vice president and credit officer of Westborough Bank’s Commercial Loan Department.
