Apart from his role as chairman and CEO of the Norton Company and service on the boards of numerous nonprofit and civic organizations in Worcester, Massachusetts, John Jeppson (MBA ’40) found time to operate a 150-acre commercial farm, named Oakholm, in nearby Brookfield. At age 91, he has just completed a memoir, Making Hay, which is about his childhood and life on the farm. The Worcester Telegram & Gazette (September 16, 2008) said the book “paints a portrait of a time, a place, and a person who has weathered life’s trials and embraced its successes with perspective, kindness, and humor.” On the challenge of recalling long-ago events without contemporaneous notes, Jeppson said, “I find when I am writing, my memory comes back. It was a lot of fun to relive the times of my life.”
