Hank, as with many '46-ers, started at Princeton in the Fall of
1942 with the rest of the class, but ended up graduating in 1948
after delays caused by a small dispute over in Europe at the
time.  He served in the US Army in the 95th Division Pack
Artillery, part of Patton's "Ghost Corps," taking part in the
D-Day invasion, the Battle of the Bulge, the push through to the
Rhine, and was about to be shipped to the Pacific when the war
ended.  He never liked to talk much about those days.

After returning to Princeton, Hank completed his degree in
Psychology quickly, taking advantage of a special, accelerated
program of study provided by Princeton to compensate for the time
lost to wartime service.  Because of his deep interest in people,
he pursued a very "people" oriented career, first in advertising
and marketing, and later in management consulting.

However, always one to seek out and explore areas which intrigued
him, and never one to leave something, once started, unfinished,
Hank first went on to receive Masters degrees from the University
of Michigan (Math) and from Columbia University (Psychology).

President and founder of Caruthers Consulting, a management,
marketing and sales development concern in New York City, which
he founded in 1972, some of his major clients included Sony, RCA,
CitiCorp, Empire Blue Cross, Canada Dry, Time Inc., Avis and
Holiday Inns.

Before going into business for himself, Hank built up a solid
background and reputation in the advertising and marketing world.
From some of the very first television commercials, through to
becoming Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Pan American
World Airways in the late 1960's, he helped to pioneer the field.
After 15 years of working his way up through the ranks, holding
executive positions in firms such as Young and Rubicam, Doyle
Dane Bernbach, McCann-Erikson, BBDO, and Lippincott & Margulies,
Hank joined Golightly International, New York-based management
consultants, in 1964, and later held the position of Senior Vice
President, before moving on to Pan American.

Hank cared greatly about others, often going out of his way to
help others, and spending significant time and energy in many
volunteer groups, including serving on the board of trustees for
Port Washington's Youth Counseling Center and for Bide-A-Wee, and
as chairman of Boy Scout Troop 7.  He always had time for anyone,
and never seemed to run out of the inner strength or energy
needed to combat difficulties.

Hank died of complications following surgery in February of 1990,
leaving behind his wife, Marilyn, and two children, Lisa and
Bruce ('92/93).  Hank also had two daughters, Laurie Wolf (in
Bradenton, Florida) and Bonnie (in Boston), and a son, Gavin (in
Manhattan) from his first marriage, and a brother, Felix ('38).

Perhaps Hank's most endearing and important characteristic was
his philosophy that no one ever has a problem -- they are only
being presented with an "improvement opportunity."
