Class Note 1962
Issue
September-October 2024
In response to a letter sent by Al Huck, Alan Rapoport, and me to President Beilock, describing the Caring Class Network and suggesting the concept might be reproducible by other classes, we received a warm and encouraging reply stating that our proposal would be disseminated.
Writing to Jim Blair,who organized the Dan Tompkins Memorial Fund for Classics, department chair Margaret Graver shared: “The generosity of Dan’s friends and your own vigorous organizational efforts will make a huge difference to our departmental library.” The fund, now totaling $8,600, remains open for contributions (jamesnblair@gmail.com).
President Woody Chittick writes: “JoAnne and I attended Sandy Apgar’s memorial service in May along with Susan and Peter Brink and Gary Speiss’s widow, Betsy. In June JoAnne and I attended Mike Schaefer and Heide Bruegmann’s fifth wedding anniversary bash in Southampton, Massachusetts, joined by Karen and Josh Rich.”
Our class valedictorian Jim Hale, after a luncheon with Chuck Cohen, wrote: “I am still teaching and coaching classes in corporate governance, mergers, and acquisitions to seniors at Florida Gulf Coast University in Southwest Florida. Chuck reports that he is still teaching law students full time in Pittsburgh, commuting regularly from Florida.”
Quick takes: From John Damon to “fellow neighbors here on the Cape, Pat and Gordy McKean, warm hello and congrats on Gordy’s recent successful ablation and pacemaker surgery.” David Feingold, back in Bangkok after a three-month home visit to Philadelphia, advises us to get checked and treated early for age-related macular degeneration. The Henry Goldsmiths are headed to London, where he grew up. Zaida and Peter Knight will be touring England and Ireland in August. Tyko Kihlstedt flew to Detroit to visit Bob Van Dam following the death of Gayle, Bob’s wife of 61 years. I’ll be heading to Argentina and Uruguay in October for visits with family and schoolmates.
I regret to report the deaths of William “Skip” C. Hall Jr. of Manila, Philippines, on January 6; William “Bill” E. Stern of Del Mar, California, on March 18; David F. Frankel, M.D., of Miami on March 28; Richard “Dick” Heraty of Unterach am Attersee, Austria, on February 11, 2019.
