Class Note 1955

Issue

Nov - Dec 2010



As I begin my first Class Notes as your new secretary for 1955, I wish to thank Bob Fanger for his work as secretary these past two years and also for his help in the transition.


Memories of a glorious ’55 55th linger even now as this is written in the mid-August 90s in North Carolina for delivery in the cooler climes of the fall. In addition to the mentions and photos in Joe Mathewson’s newsletters, some other classmates we were able to catch-up and renew with were Dick Aberle, Mary and Tim Anderson, Kilt Andrew, Walt Boden, Evelyn and Bob Comer, Nan and Fred Darche, Frank Davidson, Bette and Pete Fishbein, Dick Hopkins, Sue and Jed Isaacs, Bill Kehoe, Nancy and Fred Lione, Peggy and Don Mix, Carolyn and Alan Murray, Betty Jo and Jim Nelsen, Barbara and Mal Roth, Pat and Bernie Siskind, Alan Uris, Patti and Larry Veator, Bobbi and Carl Weisenfeld, Betty and John Wetzel, Carolyn and Steve Wilson, Anne and Dave Winograd and Roger Young. Nancy and Frank Carlton made the long trip in from Oregon. 


Featured winners in Doug Melville’s golf outing were Harry Ambrose, Jack Palmer, Dick Barr, Dave Conlon, Kay Perkins and Betty Hayes. Mary and Al Weiler were big winners in Dick Mount’s tennis tournament. 


Buck Kuttner was presented in April the prestigious Saiber Professionalism Award by the Essex County (New Jersey) Bar Association for his pro bono work as well as his ethics involvement, which also merited him an invitation to meet Pope John Paul II in Rome. Buck has commented on legal matters for local radio and TV and also served as a judge. A recent update on John Chafee indicates continued progress in recovery from his stroke. John Baldwin presented the Memorial Day address to his community at Twain Harte, California, for the fifth consecutive year.


With sadness we report the passing of Pete Briggs, Mordecai Jackson, Greg Knowles and Bob Primo. 


Save the date: Mackinac Island mini-reunion, June 11-14, 2011, hosted by Dan Musser.
