Class Note 1946
Issue
Nov - Dec 2015
My wife, Susan, and I vacationed on a farm in Skaneateles in western New York for several days early in August, followed by a delightful visit with Ruth and Jack Howard, our class vice president, in nearby Auburn, New York. The Howards showed us their retirement home and we had a scenic outdoor luncheon at an inn overlooking Cayuga Lake in Aurora, New York. Later Jack patiently waited with us while his local car dealer aligned our car’s wheels, which had become misaligned after accidentally going into a ditch. The next day Jack was honored by the Lost Boys of Sudan foundation for his 15 years of service as president. One hundred people had been invited to join the tribute in a boat trip around Lake Skaneateles.
Jack reports a current list of living classmates of about 209, from a peak level of 970 during the war years, with 620 in the original 1942 incoming class. Further reason for those of us who are still able to celebrate our 70th reunion (possibly our last full reunion) at next fall’s Homecoming weekend as non-paying guests of the College.
Herman J. Obermayer sent me a much-appreciated copy of Sabbath Sentiment in the Home, a home prayer book that Obe sponsored and assisted in updating and revising in the memory of his deceased wife, Betty Nans. She served as president (1984-85) of Temple Rodef Shalom in Fall Springs, Virginia. Coincidentally, my youngest granddaughter, Zoe, attends its primary school in N.Y.C.
The sad part of this column is saying good-bye to our newly deceased classmates and widows and expressing our sympathies to their families. William C. Miller died January 15. He was involved in the V-12 program, earned a Tuck degree and worked in Atlantic Richfield. Frederick C. Calder died February 15. Richard Russell Hartman died March 8. He was involved in the Navy V-12 program, attended Tuck School, worked in investment banking, was a former member of the board of governors and active in preserving water quality of Massachusetts’ lakes. Edgar King Simon Jr. died April 22. He was involved in the Navy V-12 program. Jackie Kimball, widow of Bob Kimball, died July 1.They were hosts for numerous class reunions in their Hanover home. Virginia “Ginny” Marino, widow of Marty Marin, died August 1. They were gracious hosts of our 65th reunion at their farm in Orford, New Hampshire.
See you all at the 70th reunion, fall 2016.
