	Thomas Pownall; Martin Marietta chief; 83 \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Thomas Gilmore Pownall, the savvy and hard-nosed executive who repelled a hostile takeover of Martin Marietta in the 1980s and guided the company's transformation into one of the country's leading defense electronics concerns, died June 24 of pneumonia at Manor Care Potomac in suburban Potomac, Md. He was 83.

His strategy to gobble up the competition before it could consume Martin Marietta was christened "the Pac-Man defense" by Wall Street analysts.
		Pownall's career covered several industries – in the paper-box business, as a salesman for a steel fabricator and for General Motors' Chevrolet division in Ohio – before he joined the Convair division of General Dynamics Corp. in San Diego in 1955.

		Pownal was the site of Vermont's only racetrack, which at one time was nearly as controversial as one of the state's few witchcraft trials, which also happened in Pownal.

		In 1758, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Pownall wrote that a fort at the Penobscot River was of utmost importance for the English in their war with the French.
		Such a fort, wrote Pownall, would allow the English to possess "fine country" and "the finest bay in North America," as well as keep the French and their Indian allies well inland.
		Though Fort Pownall did not fulfill its military purposes, its presence encouraged later English settlement of the Penobscot region and the fort served as a center for trade.
