Class Note 1951
Issue
Mar - Apr 2018
Our class executive committee is exploring ideas for new opportunities for members of the ’51 family to gather and reconnect. One possibility: leisurely lunch get-togethers in areas of the country where there are large concentrations of ’51 classmates and widows. Such areas could include greater Boston, Connecticut, Florida and California. Hanover, of course, continues to be a magnet for many.
Speaking of clusters of classmates, it turns out there are eight ’51s living in Tucson, Arizona. They are Aram Chorebanian, Pete Crowe, Ace Mueller, Joan Person (Hap’s widow), Janet Rutstein (Bob), Al Tarlov, Patricia Weare (Mase) and Bob Wilbee.
Carl Glassberg has been honored as a Lightning Community Hero by the Tampa Bay, Florida, NHL hockey organization. The Lightning Foundation made a $50,000 contribution to the Gulf Coast Jewish Community Services Holocaust Survivor program in Carl’s name. Carl and his late wife, Irene, herself a Holocaust survivor, have been very active with this organization over many years.
Kendalights is “a magazine of humanities and sciences” published by the Kendal retirement community in Hanover. Pete Martin, who knows a thing or two about journalism and lives in Kendal, is an active contributor and member of Kendalights’ editorial board. News from Art Worden in Florida: “I am still crawling around the tennis courts and traded in my old motorcycle for a newer beauty. I call it my time machine; all I have to do is sit on it and I am 40 years younger.” Art and Ruth’s kids refer to them as “low-maintenance parents.” Andy Pincus is still active as a music critic at Tanglewood after 42 years. He recently wrote an op-ed piece on military service. Ten percent (61) of our entering class in 1947 had served in the military before matriculating. Two-thirds of us served following graduation.
Buck Scott enjoyed lunch in Beverly Hills, California, with Mish Cohen recently. Mish is retired as dean of the humanities at the University of Southern California.
Three more of our classmates have died: Ted Hazen, Irwin Lonschein and Bill Michener. We send condolences to their families.
