Class Note 1934

Issue

Jan - Feb 2011

I feel bad that the good class of 1934 isn’t often represented in the Class Notes section of the Alumni Magazine, but I never have any news to report anymore. How about letting me know what you all are up to these days. Stan Smoyer and I do talk on the phone now and then. He and Marj are enjoying their roomy quarters in a Princeton retirement community. Stan plays golf quite a bit and they keep up with friends in Princeton outside the retirement community and also spend part of the winter in Florida. Stan’s son Dave has been retired for some time and his daughter Nancy still lives in Alaska. Mary Beers, Tom’s widow, is still flying around the country visiting their various children. I saw Mary a year or so ago and she looks exactly the same as she did in the 1960s. I miss my lunches with Mary Engelman, Bob’s widow, but try to talk with her now and then. Their family gets bigger and bigger as the grands and great-grands get married. As of October 18, 2010, there were 16 classmates living—why not call one of them? They are: Bob Bagley, Perkins Bass, Harry Espencheid, Jack Gilbert, Carl Hess, Sidney Hooper, John Hoyt, Russ Ireland, Frank Lepreau, Roger Manternach, Adrian Paradis, Eugene Shea, Stan Smoyer, Jim Walter, Arthur Wood and Stephen Woodbury. I regret that Bob Kolbe died last June, leaving his wife, Nona, and two sons.
