Subject: Obituary for Elliott Haynes

Would you be kind enough to post Elliott Haynes' obituary? He was a
tireless and devoted advocate for People with Parkinsons and their
carepartners. Thank you. Polly Haynes



Elliott Haynes, a pioneer in business journalism, was a leader since the
early fifties in the struggle for an integrated, peaceful world economy
that would be populated by truly global corporations.  He died on May 19
at Willowood Health Care Center in Williamstown, Mass due to
complications following a long personal and public battle with
Parkinson's Disease. He was 73 and lived in Shrewsbury, Vermont.

The son of Eldridge Haynes and Rachel Elliott, Mr. Haynes was born in
New York City,  graduated from The Taft School in Wallingford, CT, and
joined the Naval Air Corps in 1943 as a trainee pilot . He graduated
from Yale University in 1947 with a BA in International Relations. He
studied politics, philosophy and economics at Exeter College, Oxford
University, for two years during which time he also served as European
correspondent for "Modern Industry Magazine".

Mr. Haynes began his career in business journalism in 1950 as an editor
of the Journal of Accountancy and then Business and Economics Editor of
the United Nations World Magazine. In 1954, he co-founded Business
International Corporation in New York to furnish information and
counselling to managers of worldwide operations and those who serve and
govern them.  He served as Director, Managing Editor, Director of
Worldwide Editorial Research, Editor-in-Chief, Executive Vice President
and Chairman of the Board. Business International is now part of The
Economist Group of London. He was the creator of Business
International's Government Roundtables, personally organizing them in
the first years of their existence, both in the United States andabroad,
and carrying on this activity regularly in succeeding years. In the
course of this work, he researched and wrote a number of major studies
of foreign government attitudes, laws and regulations affecting
international business corporations. Mr. Haynes has served in an
advisory capacity to several graduate business schools including Indiana
University and Pace University and lectured widely at others including
the Harvard Business School. He also served as Adjunct Professor of
International Management at Pace University.

In the mid-50s, Mr. Haynes assisted in the creation of AIESEC-US, the US
branch of the Association Internationale des Etudiantes en Sciences
Economiques et Commerciales, which arranged the exchange of business
traineeships for university students throughout the world. He later
became Chairman of AIESEC and elected to their Hall of Fame.  Mr.
Haynes' attention to the need for a closer collaboration between
business and government led him in 1959 to join in forming a small group
of international corporate executives to advise President-elect Kennedy
through the then Secretary of Commerce, Govenor Luther Hodges. Among the
achievements of this small group was the formulation of a proposed US
policy toward Latin America, to which the group gave the name "Alliance
for Progess" before handing it to the President-elect. From 1968-71 Mr.
Haynes was President and Chairman of the Council for the International
Progress of Management (CIPM), the US branch of the International
Council for Scientific Management (CIOS).  From 1970-80 Mr. Haynes was
Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the International Management
Development Institute, a non-profit organization devoted to managerial
training in Africa and Latin America. He was a Fellow of the Academy of
International Business since 1976.

Mr. Haynes served on the Board of Directors of the Visiting Nurse
Association in Rutland, Vermont from 1977-1982 . He was Chairman of the
Board of the Vermont Independence Fund from 1982-92. This highly
successful organization, under the Agency of Human Services of the State
of Vermont, provided seed money to local organizations thoughout Vermont
who could develop services for the elderly and the disabled which would
further support their independence at home. Mr. Haynes was also a proud
member of Rotary International in Rutland for many years.

After being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1994,  Mr. Haynes
devoted his considerable energies to improving the plight of People with
Parkinson's and their carepartners in Vermont and across the nation. As
part of a national advocacy campaign that successfully passed landmark
federal Parkinson's research legislation, Mr. Haynes was instrumental in
garnering the support of Vermont's legislators, particularly that of
Senator James M. Jeffords, the Chairman of a key Senate committee with
jurisdiction over medical research funding. He was the founder of the
Rutland Regional Parkinson Support Group in August 1997, which has now
grown to a membership of over 30 people.

Mr. Haynes is survived by his wife, Polly Burwell Haynes, whom he
married on October 4, 1969 in New York. He was a strong supporter of his
wife's business, Meadowsweet Herb Farm,  and enjoyed his role as
"farmer", particularly if his work involved his beloved tractor. In
addition to his wife he is survived by a son, Peter Elliott of Costa
Mesa, California, a daughter, Brooke Chamberlain of Jericho, Vermont,
and two grandchildren, James and Robin Lenfest. He is further survived
by his stepmother, Kathleen Pilkington of Falmouth, ME, a brother Evan
of Portland, ME, a sister Kathleen  of Park City, Utah, and a
