...Regarding "The Rich-Back to the Ould Sod" [June 28] perhaps the most conspicuous Mellon by his absence from the family's rendezvous was Larimer W. Mellon Jr., who, as a physician, dedicated, built and for the past twelve years has run the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Deschapelles, Haiti along with his wife Gwen. Larry Mellon's forte has been in giving all of his monies away to a hospital cen ter dedicated to the care of over 300,000 patients in a rural setting who otherwise would be without this resource. He is my nominee...
...seems to have got completely out of hand, with painters and sculptors apparently unable to turn out even fake works fast enough. Personally, I would leave the modern stuff to the likes of Nelson Rockefeller, who has the Museum of Modern Art at his beck and call, or Paul Mellon, who has something like $1 billion to dip into.

Spot of Tennis. But conspicuously on hand was Richard King Mellon, who for the past 35 years has been the operative head of the empire. At 69, he is about to retire, and it is perhaps symbolic that there is no Mellon in sight as his successor. Of his two sons, one is pursuing a career in oceanography. The other, though he is now serving an apprenticeship in the family bank, is only 26. Paul's only son is making a career in city planning. So, when Richard King Mellon finally steps down, the Mellon empire will...
...Ulster is not about to forget the name. The Northern Ireland government provided Cadillacs for any MelIons that needed transportation, even furnished an athletic subofficial as a partner for a Mellon who got a sudden impulse for a spot of tennis. After giving the assembled Mellons a ceremonial dinner in the Parliament building in Belfast, Prime Minister O'Neill journeyed next day to Omagh to help dedicate the ancestral cottage. Said he: "This home will forever be a monument not just to the Mellon family but to the potential of human character in a land of opportunity...
