1927

On the front page of a recent issue of the publication of the Lake County, Ohio, Bar Association, there was a fine picture of Judge Charles Baker. An accompanying article honored him upon his recent retirement from the Board of Grievances and Discipline of the Ohio Supreme Court. Chuck was one of only 17 members of the bar appointed by the Ohio Supreme Court and had just completed his most recent six-year term of office on the board. A while back, when Chuck was president of the Lake County Bar Association, it was selected by the American Bar Association for its award of merit as the most outstanding local bar association in the United States.

Bud and Dot Wesselmann are justifiably proud of their granddaughter, who was a senior fellow in the class of 1981 and graduated Phi Beta Kappa last June. Bud and Dot were, of course, on hand for the event.

On March 25, the children of Chuck and Josephine Field hosted a party at the Westchester, Ill., Community Church in celebration of their parents' 50th wedding anniversary.

Another couple that has stayed with it for 50 years is Charlie and Josephine Huntley. They observed the event in a gala fashion on November 28, last, in Aent in, Tex. The two principals wore their original wedding clothes, a feat which surprised many of the celebrants. Charlie also played two solos on his trombone, and we assume that it was the same trusty instrument that he used in playing for the Dartmouth College Band from 1923 to 1927. .

Out in Capistrano, Calif., Ross Guyot tells of a wide variety of activities which include daily cycling. He has also delved deeply into color photography and has taken a number of courses at Saddleback Community College which is nearby. He and Jean enjoy the season of plays Put on 'oca* Playhouse.

Seth Besse, in thanking us for his latest birthday card, acknowledged that his golf right now is not exactly up to par, no pun intended, but he generally does better in the winter months when he and his buddies all take preferred lies. Up until the snow arrived in early December, Seth says that he had averaged about four 18-hole rounds a week for the previous nine months.

Another who is proud of his record is Brad Fuller up in Newburyport, Mass. He allows as how he had played nine holes every day from April through October, excluding four rainy days. He even had enough time left over to have a good vegetable garden, giving most of it away but still putting up 15 jars of piccalilli and 12 jars of chili sauce. We suppose that Newburyport, being slightly farther north than Seth's New Bedford, is the reason why Brad ends his season in October rather than December.

Cam and Sarah Clokey are enjoying their 11th year in Sun City, Fla., and are both in good health. The year just past was the first in those 11 that they did not have a family wedding, anniversary, or graduation to take them back north to their former home in Cleveland, Ohio, and they regret that one of the latter, as well as their own 50th wedding anniversary, will make it impossible for them to be at the 55th. Cam is treasurer of the local lapidary club and both he and Sarah are active in the United Community Church.

Doane Arnold, when he last wrote, was recovering nicely from his malaise of last fall. He and Marie planned to spend the first three months of 1982 in Florida.

Curt Wright followed up on our report of a few months ago that he was intending to compete in the annual Montgomery County, Pa., Bar Association five-mile run with the news that he did, in fact, run. And not only that, but he finished in 54 minutes, as compared with 59 minutes a year earlier. He also added that at that rate of improvement he was still "five years away." Your secretary is still wondering just what he is five years away from.

And now for the sad news: We received word that Daniel Jennette died on December 3, and, just as we sent this in, we heard that John Tanzi died on February 18 in Hanover and Sykes Hardy on February 25 in Gulf Stream, Fla. Complete notices will appear in the obituary section of the MAGAZINE when details are obtained. Additionally, we are saddened to note that Suzanne Broer, widow of Coggy Broer, passed away on December 3. Coggy, who died in 197 5, had been class secretary from 1957 to 1962.

That s it for now. Time draws near . . . for the 55th in Hanover, June 11, 12, and 13, that is. Hope we'll be seeing you there.

From bemused grin to outright guffaw, but universally enthusiastic, was the reaction to their 45 threunion by these members of the class of' 27 - from left to right, "Bo" Head, Palmer 'Williams,Bob and Ken Ballantyne. That was ten years ago, though, and the class is nowPoking forward to its 55th on June 11 to 13.
