Laurence
McKinney, Harvard ’12, was an Editor of the Harvard Lampoon and wrote the Hasty Pudding Show his senior year as a showcase for his friend, humorist Robert Benchley.  Laurence O. McKinney, ’66, MBA ‘69 continued the tradition by organizing one of Harvard’s first rock bands, contributing to Hasty Pudding shows, co-founding the Harvard Art Review and appearing in undergraduate theatricals.  After Business School, McKinney attended Harvard Divinity School as a Special Student, and remains involved with all three as an HBS Class Correspondent and member of his HBS Reunion Committee, a College activist, and guest speaker at one of Harvard’s six founding churches, the First Parish Church of Dorchester.
