After the war Richie spent five years, in Montreal and then in Dublin and Paris, as deputy representative for the North Atlantic office of the Provisional International Civil Aviation Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations. He was on our executive committee in 1953 and by our 20th reunion had begun his career on Wall Street as a research analyst with Wertheim & Co., covering companies in aviation and defenserelated industries. He joined Dominick & Dominick in 1961, becoming a V.P. in 1965. He later joined forces with Orchard Capital in 1976 but two years later resigned with two others to form the firm of Sheldon, Parker & Staniford, Inc.

All our sympathies go to Sally and the family.
