Early lifeWaite was born and raised in Belmont, Massachusetts and graduated from Belmont High School. During World War II, he served with the United States Marine Corps in China.[2] After the war he attended Harvard College and graduated with a degree in American government.[3] In 1952 he married Mary Arroll of Swampscott, Massachusetts.[2] Their marriage would end in divorce in 1976.[2] Public relations careerIn 1951, Waite joined New England Electric Systems as a student trainee. The following year he became a sales promotion assistant at the Narragansett Electric Company, New England Power's Rhode Island-based subsidiary. He rejoined New England Electric in 1954 as a member of their public information department. Here he served as the editor of the company's award-winning employee publication "Contact". In 1960 he was promoted to director of public information. He was promoted again in 1970, this time to Vice President.[3] Political careerFrom 1957 to 1960, Waite served on the Wakefield, Massachusetts Board of Selectmen. In 1960 he moved to Swampscott, where he served as a town meeting member and a member of the Republican town committee. In August 1970 he moved to Wellesley, Massachusetts.[7] In January 1971, Governor Francis W. Sargent recommended Waite for the position of Chairman of the Republican State Committee.[4] Sargent liked Waite for the job because he was a moderate Republican who was not affiliated with either the liberal or conservative wings of the party. After two weeks of discussion between the staffs of Sargent and U. S. Senator Edward Brooke, the two agreed to recommend that Waite be appointed to the position of chairman and that he would serve full-time and receive a salary of about $25,000 a year.[5] Waite was elected to the position on February 8, 1971.[6] On September 28, 1971, Waite submitted his resignation to the state committee, citing personal reasons.[7] LobbyingAfter his resignation, Waite returned to New England Electric as vice president for public relations & advertising.[7] In 1973 he joined Bank of Boston as its First Vice President & Chief Lobbyist.[2] He retired in December 1990 after he took advantage of the company's "voluntary separation program", which offered employees with at least 10 years with the bank enhanced severance pay if they chose to retire early.[8] After retiring he represented J. P. Morgan, Citibank, and the Bankers Roundtable before the United States Congress.[2] After becoming a lobbyist, Waite resided in Huddleston and Roanoke, Virginia. Waite died on July 23, 2007.[9] References1. ^{{cite|title=Social Security Death Index}} {{S-start}}{{S-ppo}}{{succession box | before = Richard Treadway | title = Chairman of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee | years=February 8, 1971-September 28, 1971 | after = Robert C.
