Law. Ellen, 20, is a 1969 graduate of the University of Maryland. Until this year, the Mandel family lived in Strathmore Park in the Northwest section of Baltimore City. His parents, the former Rebecca Cohen and Harry Mandel, were both natives of Baltimore City, where his widowed mother still resides. Governor Mandel's principal hobbies are sports and pipe collecting. As a youth, he played baseball and was once offered a chance to pitch in the old Eastern Shore League, but he decided to go to college instead. He has played nearly every sport and still occasionally works out at the U. S. Naval Academy Gymnasium. He enjoys hunting and takes occasional duck and goose hunting trips to the Eastern Shore. On a trip to Maine he brought back a black bear cub which he presented to the Baltimore Zoo. The cub was a gift to the Governor from the Maine Game Commission. He is an avid sports fan and often attends games of the various professional teams in Baltimore. He attended the National Football League Championship Game won by Baltimore in New York in 1958. He went to Cleveland in 1964 where Baltimore lost, and he went to the Super Bowl in Miami this year. The Governor has over 200 pipes in his collection and is seldom seen without one. The Pipe and Tobacco Council of America honored him with its "Pipesmoker of the Year" award as 1969's "national figure who best exemplifies the manly art of pipesmoking." In 1964 Marvin Mandel was named Man of the Year by his college fraternity Tau Epsilon Phi, and he was named Maryland Veteran of the Year in 1968 by an association of various veterans' groups. He is a member of the Baltimore, Maryland, and American Bar Associa- tions, Omicron Delta Kappa, and he is Past State Chairman of the Jewish War Veterans. His alma mater, the University of Maryland, conferred an honorary Doctor of Laws degree on Governor Mandel at its 1969 commencement exercises. He also received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Towson State College. In addition, he is the recipient of the 1969 Herbert Lehman Ethics Award and was named Man of the Year by the 21 Jewel Square Club of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a Masonic organization of that State's most prominent Jurists, businessmen, gov- ernment figures and civic leaders. |
