Labor unions, unlike duchies or debts, are not customarily passed down from father to son. Except in the Carpenters' union. From the time he was a schoolboy, Maurice Hutcheson was groomed as carefully as any prince to take over the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, which had long been the personal fief of his father, the late William ("Big Bill") Hutcheson.

William Blaier were sentenced to 2 to 14 years, fined $250, and stripped of their right to vote or hold public office for five...
...Teacher Olga Samaroff, was a fellow student of Leonard Bernstein at Tanglewood in 1941. Later, Moseley spent five years (1950-55) as director of the School of Music at the University of Oklahoma. Sugar Baron Keiser, Harvard '27, won a Juilliard scholarship after graduation, studied piano under Ernest Hutcheson before he took over the family business (Cuban-American Sugar Co.). Keiser still gives concerts near his home in Connecticut. After ripping through his last cadenza with a touch of a smile on his face, Keiser came offstage last week saying, "What fun. What fun."
