Richard

Fowle "Dick" Treadway (born

June 5, 1913 March 26, 2006 in Vero Beach, Florida) was an American businessman and politician who

served as President of Treadway Inns Corp., was a member of the Massachusetts Senate from

1953 to 1955, and served as Chairman of the Massachusetts Republican

State Committee from 1969 to 1971. Treadway was born and raised

in Williamstown, Massachusetts. He graduated from Williston Academy in

1932 and from Dartmouth College in

1936 with a bachelor's degree in English. While at Dartmouth, Treadway was also the

business editor of The Dartmouth and

was a member of the Palaeopitus. After

graduating from Dartmouth, Treadway served as the manager of the Glenburnie Inn

in East Lake George, New York.

In 1937 he became the co-owner and assistant manager of the Royal Park Inn in

Vero Beach, Florida. After two years in Vero Beach, Treadway sold his shares in

the inn to his father and left the hotel business to become an instructor

at St. Lawrence University.

In 1941, Treadway left SLU to manage the cafeteria of the Fellows Gear Shaper

Company in Springfield, Vermont. Treadway later served in the United States Marine Corps for

two years during World War II. He was

stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp

Lejeune, where he managed the camp's mess halls. After the War, Treadway was the owner and

manager of the Publick House in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. In 1949 he succeeded his father as President of

Treadway Inns.[5] He remained the President of Treadway Inns

until 1964, when he engineered the sale of the company to its employees.

After the sale of Treadway Inns, Treadway worked for the Boit, Dalton

& Church Inc. insurance brokerage company in Boston. He later returned to Treadway Inns as a

consultant during the late 1980s. Treadway's interest in politics began after

he met Dwight D. Eisenhower. At

the time, Eisenhower was President of Columbia University and

Treadway was asked to do a feasibility study of a potential University

property. In 1952, Treadway worked as a volunteer for Citizens for Eisenhower

and attended the 1952

Republican National Convention.

After the Convention, Treadway was asked to run for the Massachusetts Senate seat

in the Worcester and Hampden District. He served one term in the Senate, but

did not seek re-election due to his family and business obligations. Following his departure from the Senate,

Treadway stayed active in the Republican Party as the President of the

Middlesex Republican Club and the Republican Club of Massachusetts. In 1958 he

served as the chairman of the executive committee that chose the Republican

nominee for Governor following

the death of Presumptive nominee George Fingold. Treadway

served as a member of the Republican National

Committee from 1962 to 1964. He was part of a group of

Republicans that sought to prevent Barry Goldwater from winning the 1962 Presidential

nomination.

In 1969, Treadway was elected Chairman of the Massachusetts Republican

State Committee. He chose not to run for reappointment in 1971 and later became

a regional director of the United

States Department of Commerce.
