Daniel E. Koshland Sr.

Daniel E. Koshland, Senior, was a grandson of Simon Koshland, who came west during the Gold Rush, and a son of Marcus Koshland, both wool merchants. He was born in San Francisco, attended Lowell High School, and graduated from the University of California in 1913. Except for a period of Army service, he was in the banking business in New York until 1922, when he returned to San Francisco and joined Levi Strauss. In 1940, he was vice president and treasurer of Levi Strauss & Co. (Koshland Named on Amer. Trust Board. Oakland Tribune, Jan. 9, 1940.) D.E. Koshland of Company G gave his address as 37 Wall St. [which was the address of the Trust Company of America building, built in 1909]. (Men of 47 States in Camp. New York Times, Sep. 11, 1916.) He was president of Levi Strauss & Co. from 1955 to 1958, and was a director and honorary chairman of the executive committee at his death. "He joined the company at the invitation of his brother-in-law, Walter A. Haas, when it was a small drygoods wholesaler and manufacturer of work clothing." He was also a director emeritus of the Wells Fargo Bank and a former director of the American Trust Company. (Daniel Koshland, 87; Levi Strauss President in Blue Jeans Growth. New York Times, Dec. 12, 1979.) His first wife was Eleanor Haas. (Mrs. Daniel Koshland. New York Times, Mar. 8, 1959.) The second Mrs. Koshland, Lucile, was the widow of Charles E. Heming. She was president of the Carrie Chapman Catt Memorial Fund. (Lucile Koshland, at 80; Long in Voters' League. New York Times, Dec. 7, 1978.)

Cooley, a longtime trustee of the RAND Corporation who joined the bank in 1949.

Katherine Graham's aunts, Rosalie and Elise Meyer, married brothers Sigmund and Abraham Stern. "The Sterns were nephews of Levi Strauss... Because Strauss was a bachelor, the Sterns, who managed his business, inherited the company, which was handed down through Sigmund and Aunt Ro to their daughter, Elise, and her husband, Walter Haas, and eventually to their children and grandchildren." (Personal History, by Katherine Graham. Alfred A. Knopf, 1997.)

Eugene Meyer's former estate, Seven Springs Center at Mount Kisco, New York, was used as the secret gathering place for a conference of international scientific advisors and ministers of science held by the Carnegie Corporation of New York in 1991.

The Department of Economics and the College of Letters and Science at UC Berkeley received a $1 million gift in honor of Daniel E. Koshland, Sr., to establish the Daniel E. Koshland, Sr. Distinguished Professorship in Economics.

Marco Francis Hellman, an associate at Lehman Brothers, married Ruth Koshland, a daughter of Jesse Koshland of San Francisco. They were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick L. Ehrman of New York.

Abraham, Jesse and Joseph Koshland were sons of Simon Koshland, a pioneer wool merchant of San Francisco. Mrs. Abraham Haas was a sister. (Jesse Koshland Loses Brother. The Times and Daily News Leader, San Mateo, Jun. 11, 1940.) Mrs. Hellman died while scuba diving in Mexico the year before he married Dorry Coppolletta. He was the vice chairman of Dean Witter Investment Co. "His grandfather, the senior I.W. Hellman, was a pioneer in Wells Fargo Bank and founded the Union Trust Co. in San Francisco. Marco Hellman's father left an estate of $20 million and when Marco married Ruth Koshland in 1933 he was identified as the son of the woman reputed to be the richest widow in San Francisco." His son, Warren Hellman, was best man. (Hellman Wedding Here. Oakland Tribune, Jan. 17, 1973.) The Hellmans' daughter Nancy married Henry Parish 3d.

Sidney Ehrman married Florence, a daughter of I.W. Hellman (d. 1920), who was president of the Wells Fargo National Bank and the Union Trust Company for 30 years. (Mrs. Ehrman, S.F. Civic Leader, Dies. Oakland Tribune, Oct. 6, 1964.) Their daughter, Esther, married Claude Lazard, "a scion of the French banking firm Lazard Freres. They divided their time between Paris, New York and San Francisco until more recent years" when they settled in S.F. (Mrs. Esther Ehrmann Lazard Dies. Oakland Tribune, Oct. 29, 1969.) Florence's sister, Clara Hellman, married Emanuel S. Heller (d. 1926), lawyer and vice president of the Wells Fargo Bank. (Obituaries. Mrs. Clara Heller. Oakland Tribune, Aug. 17, 1959.) Sidney M.

Among the firm's boasted accomplishments: "1968: Heller Ehrman Shareholder Julian Stern negotiates with Syntex Corporation for the services of Dr. Alejandro Zaffaroni, along with concepts and technology that Syntex does not want to pursue and Dr. Zaffaroni does. Upon completion of negotiations, Stern helps to set up ALZA Corporation, which will go on to pioneer drug delivery systems for the pharmaceutical industry."

Wells Fargo Bank

The original Wells, Fargo & Co. was liquidated on Nov. 1, 1866, and then combined with the Overland Mail Co., the Holladay Mail and Express Co., and the Pioneer Stage Co. of California under its former name. It also became proprietor of all the rights and interests of the American and United States Express Companies west of the Missouri River. Its capital was $10,000,000. Louis McLane was President, and directors were D.N. Barney, A.H. Barney, Eugene Kelly and Ben. Holladay. (Great Express Consolidation. From New York Times, Nov. 3, 1866.

Whitney's brother-in-law.

Wells Fargo Bank and the Parmalat Syndrome

"Wells Fargo created and managed several Cayman Island investment trusts that are at the heart of allegations that Bank of America contrived phony financial transactions specifically aimed at bamboozling investors into pouring billions of dollars into Parmalat SpA. Attorneys for creditors represented by Wells Fargo told me the bank would have inquired into the transactions -- as part of what's called "due diligence" -- before agreeing to become involved. And Italian court filings say Bank of America (and by inference Wells Fargo) had access to publicly available information showing Parmalat was far less healthy than the prospectus advertising the transaction claimed." "The Bank of America transactions were run through a nonprofit entity set up by the Cayman Islands law firm Maples & Calder, which is the same nonprofit entity that harbored the shell firms that ultimately brought down Enron." (The Parmalat Syndrome, by Matt Smith. SF Weekly, Jan. 12, 2005.)

The Board of Directors of the Bank of America includes Patricia E. Mitchell, director since 2000, who is President and CEO of the Public Broadcasting Service, former president of CNN Productions, Time Inc. Television; and director of Knight-Ridder; and Walter E. Massey, a director since 1983, also a director of McDonald's Corporation and a RAND Corporation trustee.

Former Enron director Robert K. Jaedicke, Professor Emeritus of Accounting at Stanford University Graduate School of Business, was a director of Wells Fargo & Co. until 1999, when Robert L. Joss, Dean of the Stanford GSB, replaced him. Other past directors included Donald B. Rice, President of the RAND Corporation, 1972-89, who was a director of Wells Fargo from 1980-89 and also since 1993; and John A. Young, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard Corp., a director since 1977. Warren E. Buffett was a large stockholder for several years. McDonald's Corporation director Enrique Hernandez Jr. joined the board in 2003.

The University of California

Isaias William Hellman (1842-1920) was a Regent of the University of California from 1881-86, when he was appointed to serve the unexpired term of Darius O. Mills, and was reappointed until 1918. Sidney M. Ehrman was a Regent from 1930-52. Elinor Raas Heller (1904-) was appointed to serve the unexpired term of her husband, Edward Hellman Heller from 1970 to 1976.

The San Francisco Foundation

Koshland, Junior founded the San Francisco Foundation in 1948, with a "small funding grant from the Columbia Foundation." Past community health grants include $20,000 to the American Cancer Society of San Francisco; $22,000 to the American Lung Association of San Francisco and San Mateo Counties; and $25,000 for "asthma education and intevention" in local elementary schools.

Martin E. Packard, Corparate Vice President of Varian Associates and former trustee of the San Francisco Foundation, was on the Board of Directors of the Addiction Research Foundation, which was founded by Avram Goldstein in 1974 "to discover the physiological causes of Narcotics and Tobacco Addiction" [sic]. Actually, Goldstein's past experience was in narcotics and the facility did not have a nicotine lab. But Goldstein expected the tobacco industry to give him the $400,000 he said he needed to create one, and then to fund his endeavor to portray smoking as the same as heroin addiction. Another director was Wilbur Watkins, former Executive Administrator of the Palo Alto Medical Clinic, founded by Philip R. Lee's father. Members of the National Advisory Council included Mrs. Douglas Cater [elsewhere identified as Libby Cater, the name of Douglass Cater's wife); Sen. Alan Cranston; Philip R.
