Yankee Directors in the News

Two magazines have recently mentioned several Yankee directors.

Steve Taylor and his family were featured in the Spring 2011 edition of UNH Magazine Online. Steve graduated from UNH in 1962. All of us here at Yankee extend sincere condolences to Steve and his family on the recent death of Steve's wife, Gretchen—also a 1962 UNH graduate, shortly after the publication of that article.

The newest Yankee director, Paul Franklin, is also mentioned in the article about Steve Taylor.

Yankee Chairperson Paul Gingue and his family were featured in the Spring 2011 edition of Vermont Fences, published by Vermont Farm Bureau. (Not available online.) The article is about how the Gingue family farming operation expanded to accommodate four sons.

The same issue of Vermont Fences includes an article about former Yankee director Rupert Chamberlin and his wife Muriel. Rupert and Muriel recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Rupert is a past president of Vermont Farm Bureau. The current president of Vermont Farm Bureau, Clark Hinsdale III, is also a former Yankee director.
