1945

It's less that two months to the time of the 30th!! For those who are planning on the trek to Hanover the 30th will be a great time. For those who haven't signified their intentions to join us, there's still time to change your mind and make plans to head for the hills of Hanover. Where else in this world of confusion can you find the opportunity to renew the experience of 30 years ago as well as strengthen new and old class friendships??

Fred Williamson writes from Riverside, Conn.: "Had the whole family together for the holidays - six sons and two daughters. Expanding our furniture and home furnishings accessory business at our shop, "The Copper Lantern,"' in Old Greenwich. Any classmates in these businesses, please stop by - maybe we can help each other."

In answer to a query as to his new address, Hunt Bennett writes a note which must rank with the laconic classics: "Thanks for your note. I plan to be in Hanover for the Reunion. The reason for the address change is the house burned down, so it's more comfortable at the new address." Such expert handling of prose must be the result of working for Newsweek.

Moose Rowan has appointed Vic Smith to be chairman of a nominating committee composed of Al Ungar, Harry Hampton, John Osborn,Sam Cutler, and Don Cole to propose a slate of class officers and executive committee to function in the years following the 30th. The services of interested and conscientious men are essential to help maintain class interest and unity. Any suggestions regarding nominations should be sent to: Victor C. Smith, Turner Construction Co., 511 Walnut St., Cincinnati, Ohio, 45202.

Ed Kohn "continues to operate a fuel oil business in Orange County, N.Y. Son Peter graduated '69, daughter Carolyn, now a junior lives in Hitchcock on a mixed floor. Some things are impossible to assimilate. See few schoolmates, except occasionally Lou Mills, doing ,a great job as county executive here."

The Alumni Magazine has not carried the deaths of Pete Bontecou and Fred Kuehm. Pete died August 6, 1974 and Fred died August 4, 1973. Harry Hampton and Paul Caravatt said it very well in the February Newsletter in their paragraph concerning the deaths of classmates and the effect on those of us who mourn their passing and remember their friendship. To the families of Pete Bontecou and Fred Kuehm, the Class extends its sincere sympathy on their, and our, loss.

Maurie Baruth writes: "I am still engaged in the practice of law in Pittsburgh. My oldest daughter Barbara is now a freshman at the U. of Cincinnati. It appears doubtful at this time that we will be able to attend the Reunion next June."

Loring Wood speaks of missing the 30th because of the mid-week dates and the conflict with high school childrens' commitments. The dates for the 30th are prearranged by the College, I suppose, on the premise (as Loring surmised) that most of our children are college age or older. The class executive committee realized that the mid-week dates would pose a problem, but we were faced with an accomplished fact. Loring goes on to say: "I really don't have anything newsworthy. I'm still working on new ways to deliver health care in New York and the family is growing up. Life is routine but each day is changing and exciting."
