Rochford, Daniel, 1900-1989.

Daniel Rochford was born in Rockford, Minn., on July 21, 1900, and attended Yale University and the Harvard Law School. He began his career in journalism, serving as a reporter and aviation editor of the Boston Transcript in 1922-29. The Depression derailed this career, and he spent the 1930s in a series of jobs, trying to utilize his skills in publicity and public relations. He worked successively for Pan American Airways, The Sportsman magazine, the New England Council, Time magazine, R.L Johnson, Inc., and Frank Gannett's 1940 bid for the Republican presidential nomination, as well as freelance jobs. Rochford's war service was with the Office of War Information, followed by a one-year stint with Young & Rubicam. In 1944 he secured permanent employment in the Employee Relations Dept. of the Standard Oil Company, from which he retired in 1964. He moved to Peekskill, N.Y., and died on July 29, 1989.
