Hartley to Speak at Commerce Dinner
The Commerce Associates at USC are patting themselves on the back. They’ve got Fred L. Hartley, chairman and president of the winning Unocal Corp., for their featured speaker at the 28th annual dinner at the Biltmore Hotel on June 5.
The nice part is that they invited him before he defeated T. Boone Pickins Jr.’s takeover bid for Unocal. Now, they’re hoping Hartley will tell all.
Phil Pfirrmann, a USC graduate and vice president of GoodSmith & Co., an equipment leasing business, is dinner chairman. The Associates is the major financial support group of USC’s School of Business Administration.
Hartley joined Union Oil Co. in 1939 as an engineering trainee shortly after graduating from the University of British Columbia with a degree in chemical engineering. He worked up through the ranks in engineering, refining, research and marketing to be elected president in August 1964. What we want to know: Where did he learn to fight?
