Football, 2 yr Varsity Baseball.
Although father had a 'tin ear,' describing all music as 'an expensive form
of noise,' EHS 2nd was very musical, overcoming ill-fitted piano hands learned
to play very well. Each of his wives played reasonably well on the violin, and
both his sons played well on the piano, especially John.
Business career began in shoe manufacture at Brockton, MA, later moved into
textiles. For many years he was a Director of Wellington Sears / West Point
Mfg/ later West Point Pepperell (made MARTEX products) of which Horace SCudder
Sears (#4234) had been a founding officer.
EHS 2nd, meanwhile, in partnership with a Mr Willett, established the
American Felt & Belting Co of Boston. Among other products, they furnished
felt for Mason & Hamler pianos which entailed furnishing the long hinge for the
pianos. The same hinge coincidentally was found useful on the hood of the
Packard Motor Cars, then in full glory.
The AF & B Co flourished until a major litigation exploded; Willett vs
Herrick wound up as the second longest in verbiage and recorded pages of all
the annals of Massachusetts courts. Basically it related to a sell-out, sub
rosa, of controlling stock in Daniel Green Shoe Co (bedslippers) still being
produced elsewhere. Decided in their favor in lower court, the case reversed
in Mass Supreme Court. It seems that Mr Willett was in on the plot.

'46 but for 13 yrs before that he was Pres. of the Framingham Union Hospital
and longer than that, a Director of Framingham National Bank, and active in
Rotary, a year or so President of that. Mr Callahan, who ran the Framingham
News in those days was his good friend. One day when I tried to place an
official notice re: Forthcoming Reg of Voters Days, the front desk questioned
whether it should be paid adv which it wasn't usually. mr C. called me into
his office, rose to greet me as I entered, took both my hands in his and told
me how much my father had meant to him. How they had lunched together once a
week for years, and how he missed him.
