Among other topics, Webb advised that he was the last survivor of the three “Bronxville Boys” who came to Cornell in 1950 from that village in Westchester County. They roomed together as freshmen, joined Delta Upsilon together and remained close friends through graduation and beyond. They even sat side by side in the 54 Cornellian’s group photo of their fraternity. Boyce Thompson, who died in 2009, worked for Pet Milk in St. Louis for a few years after graduation and later moved to Dallas where he formed and ran a successful food brokerage specializing in gourmet mixed nuts. Ever the comedian, his business phone number (after the area code) was 223-6887, which made the letters BAD-NUTS. Thankfully, his customers did not figure it out. -

Deane Waldo Malott
Deane Waldo Malott July 10, 1898 — September 11, 1996 Cornell’s sixth President was born on July 10, 1898 in Abilene, Kansas. He died on September 11, 1996 at his home in Ithaca, survived by a son and two daughters. His father was President of the Abilene Citizen’s Bank, founded by his grandfather in 1885. Dwight and Milton Eisenhower, also from Abilene, were family friends. Mr. Malott graduated from the University of Kansas in 1921, then attended the Harvard Business School. After receiving the M.B.A. degree in 1923, he stayed on as an Assistant Dean and Assistant Professor. In 1925, he married Eleanor Thrum, the daughter of a Hawaiian sugar refinery engineer, whom he had met in 1918 when his father sent him to Hawaii to recover from influenza. Mrs. Malott’s death in 1994 ended a marriage they had enjoyed for 68 years. Mr. Malott left Harvard in 1929 to become a vice president of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company and a personal assistant to James D. Dole, president and founder of the company. He returned to Harvard in 1934, where he developed courses on agricultural and other western business problems which supplemented the Wall Street concentration characteristic of the school at that time. While becoming an expert on agricultural economic matters, he became friends with influential business leaders, an association that benefited the institutions he later led. His rapid rise to prominence among agricultural business people attracted the attention of the University of Kansas Board of Regents when they were seeking a new Chancellor in 1939. -

Bon Voyage. Joanne Wilson Wietgrefe writes that she and her classmate/husband, Walter left Ithaca before our graduation ceremony because Walt was to begin his job in Massachusetts on that day. Joanne went on to graduate school to get her teacher certification and taught el- ementary school for 25 years. In “retirement” Joanne became a creative artist, making unique Teddy Bears, quilting art quilts, and creating paraments for churches. She and Walt moved into a retirement community in Shrewsbury, MA five years ago and Joanne says: ‘It was a wonderful decision’.
