A seismic shift at the Geographic
By Thomas Heath
The Washington Post
October 27, 2010
*** begin quote ***
The Grosvenors, a storied Washington family and heirs to Alexander Graham Bell, will conclude 122 consecutive years of stewardship over the National Geographic Society at the end of the year when Gilbert M. Grosvenor retires as chairman of the board of trustees.
Grosvenor, 79, announced his retirement before a standing-room-only crowd — fittingly — in the Grosvenor Auditorium at the Society’s headquarters, just a few blocks from the White House.
‘It’s time to go,’ said Grosvenor, reached at his farm near Warrenton. ‘I’ve done my thing. It’s time for other people to have their turn. I don’t think it’s proper for an institution like the Geographic Society, which is tied to adventure, science and exploration, to have a chairman approaching 80 years of age.’
He will be succeeded by Society President John M. Fahey, 58, who has held that position for 14 years.

Manhattan College has engaged the services of SME to evolve the Manhattan College brand and better communicate the mission to be more meaningful to all the constituents, prospective students, faculty, staff, donors, alumni and the national media.
The partnership includes market insights, benchmarking, an evolved brand identity (logo, look/feel), a new website and a new branding campaign for Manhattan College. It is expected that the new branding will be unveiled in the spring of 2011.

It’s Family Weekend at Manhattan, family and friends are overflowing the resident halls. Now imagine going to visit your loved one and seeing male gentile artwork everywhere. This was the case on the 7th floor of Horan Hall.

Hello all!
Heartfelt thanks to those of you who have left encouraging notes for Mike as the big day approaches! The NYC Marathon is 11 days away (AHHHH!) and he can definitely use the support. Training the second time around has been especially difficult – I guess that is what having 4 young kids and a demanding job will do to you – gets hard to “sneak” in a 20 mile run! :)
Caitlin is currently in remission (YAY) and returns to Sloan Kettering next Wednesday for bloodwork. Her next bone marrow biopsy and spinal tap will be in December. We pray for her continued health and good results! Yet again, Caitlin will be outside Sloan Kettering on Marathon Day to cheer for her daddy as he runs past the most remarkable cancer center treating her and her little friends! For those of you that follow Caitlin’s story on her CaringBridge site, Caitlin will also be cheering for her special friend Russell who used to volunteer in the pediatric playroom. We are humbled that he is also running with Fred’s Team in honor of Caitlin.
Sincerest thanks to those of you who have already donated to a cause so near and dear to our hearts! If you have been meaning to donate, there is still time!

Every dollar counts!
With love and hope for a cure,
Mike, Margaret, Caitlin (6), Liam (4), Mary (2) and Anne Martin (~7 mos)

Dear John,
I am saddened to Report that Mike Newcomb, 52 was buried on Monday October 26th from Saint Gabriel’s Church in Riverdale. The wake on Sunday was packed with friends and family from all parts of the Bronx and beyond. At the funeral a Marine Honor Guard was present as well as a large number members of the American Legion. Mike was a Past Commander of the Riverdale Post. Mike was a member, and an an officer, of many other organizations as well. He was an active member in the Alumni group that puts together the Annual Job Fair in Draddy that is reputed to be one of the best College Fairs in the Country. Of course he was no stranger to Draddy as he was an avid supporter of Jasper basketball.
At least two of his daughters are also Jaspers.
May He Rest In Peace.
Mike
McEneney, Mike (MC1953)
[JR: Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated.]
Newcomb, Mike [MC1952 RIP]
