Quote:Philanthropist, GOP powerbroker Elsie Hillman dies at 89 ...
http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obit...story.html
By Joe Mandak | AP August 4 at 4:33 PM
PITTSBURGH Elsie Hillman, a philanthropist and political activist who helped propel moderate Republicans to state and national offices, died Tuesday. She was 89.
Her death was confirmed by her husband of 70 years, billionaire industrialist Henry Hillman, and their four children.
Elsie Hillman is a former Republican National Committeewoman who used her political acumen and money to help President George H.W. Bush get elected in 1988 and congressman Tom Ridge get elected governor in 1994.
Hillman was also known to have advised or supported former Republican Govs. William Scranton and Dick Thornburgh, former U.S. Sens. John Heinz and Arlen Specter, and former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller.
"The death of Elsie Hillman marks the end of an era in American politics and our nation is the poorer for this loss," Thornburgh said in a statement. "Elsie was a true patriot, devoted to the principles that made our political system work for all of our citizens."
Her friendship with Bush began in the 1940s, when he was an oil entrepreneur with her brother, Toby Hilliard.
In the 1980 campaign, she helped Bush win the GOP primary in Pennsylvania before Ronald Reagan eventually won the party's nomination and then the presidency with Bush as his running mate.
In a statement Tuesday, Bush called her "one of the brightest points of light and finest political activists" in the country.
"She seemed to know everyone," Bush said. "And she had respect and admiration even from those with whom she did not always agree on issues."
Hillman was known for her moderate views and support of abortion rights, as well as for her unpretentious clothing and habit of always being late.
When she retired after 20 years as a GOP national committeewoman in 1996, Pennsylvania state Sen. Robert Jubelirer hailed her as "the heart and soul of the Pennsylvania Republican Party."
Her support of moderates was credited with helping Republicans win statewide office despite a Democratic registration edge in the state.
Before helping Ridge win as governor, she supported Heinz, who was elected to the House in 1971 and the Senate in 1976 and was considered a presidential hopeful before he died in a plane crash in 1991........
Elsie Hillman's obituary mentions her brother Toby, a close friend of Bush. Toby Hilliard's obituary mentions his Princeton roommate, F.I.G. Coleman.
Coleman and Toby Hilliard were both members of this small, 1941 graduating class.:

Here is the Yale Fencing Club published in the 1950 yearbook. How many CIA names can you spot?
We will concern ourselves here with just one name, Frank Feldher Sommers, Jr. Sommers is mentioned early in this thread because he and his wife Anne Calhoun Iglehart were CIA agents and their daughter, "Wing" married Sylvia Whitehouse Blake's son, Robert O. Blake, Jr. Later, Wing and Robert divorced and Wing married next a close friend of John McCloy, Jr.'s.
Frank F Sommers, Jr. was nearing the end of his CIA career when he served under diplomatic cover in Laos in the mid-70's. Sylvia's brother Charles Whitehouse who we are told left the CIA, was American ambassador in Laos at that time and Priscilla Johnson's friend Alan Davidson was British ambassador in Laos at that time. Priscilla had been an attendant of Davidson's wife in their 1951 wedding. Davidson's wife was the first cousin of Jock Whitney estate four decade long "fixture," Jinx Falkenburg.
Here is a bit of news mentioning Frank's wife:
