N O T E S 17 years, working on more than 50 houses. We are also fortunate to spend our summers at a water-front cottage built by my grandfather on Lake Winnipesaukee in NewHampshire, where our two grandchildren (now 16 and 19) join us. Life is good.” Reunion Chairman Fred Braun notes, “Hard to believe that we are that old, but mark your calendars for June 8-11, 2023, for the great Class of 1963’s 60th Reunion. The committee of the usual suspects has begun to formulate a great weekend with a very special presentation to the Class of 1993 under the fagpole and, hopefully, a tour of one of Bethlehem’s star attractions on Sunday for those who survive Friday and Saturday. We look forward to other volunteers joining the reunion committee and happy to report that Bill Montgomery has signed on, waiving the usual bonus arrangement. Any others?” ’64David A.

It would really help if more of you would add me to your mailing list. Allen Wurzbach’s letter came from Sarasota, Fla., where Allen has completed his 18-month recruiting and advisory assignment for a longtime client and has, for all intents and purposes, hung up his phone. Marlane, Allen’s wife, continues to see that there is not enough art around so has created yet more. She made more progress with her series of paintings of historic Sarasota buildings, was the Art Uptown featured artist for October and gave a talk about the paintings to the Historical Society of Sarasota County. She was invited by the Phillippi Estate Park organization in South Sarasota for a talk inMarch. Larry Bothe has been my most faithful communicator. Mickey and I met Larry and Pat for lunch here in February. They usually spend a few weeks in Florida each winter. Larry is still doing a lot of work as volunteer curator of the Freeman Army Airfeld Museum and a bit of fight instructing. He is now half owner of a “little old airplane” and is spending more time fying. He even got Pat to go up with him for the frst time last year. Kitty Rabinow’s “Short Ode As We Approach 2022” indicates she and Dick Rabinow continue to divide their time between Aspen and Houston. She writes of their four grandsons, “Three are still in college: Tufts, Yale and Brown / Richard and I love to see them when they come to town / The eldest works sometimes in Texas and sometimes up East / For Democrats at least.” Dave Jonsson also is a regular. His latest email described a few of the “eight miracles in his life.” The “biggest and best” miracle occurred on Saint Patrick’s Day 1967 in a Philadelphia disco shortly after he got out of the Army. He says he was sitting at the bar drinking beer and watching the couples dancing when a tall, blue-eyed blonde waved at him. He could barely believe it but was able to get her telephone number and address. He called Elizabeth Swisher on Friday, April 3, and asked her if she wanted to go to the movies on Saturday afternoon. It was love at “second sight.” They have been together for 56 years, have raised three sons and six grandkids. Dave and Randy live in Seminole, Fla. Some of you asked about our little-known and seldom-seen classmate Everett (Rhett) Stellan Smith. Rhett did compete in the “Over the Top” snowmobile race this winter but did not fare as well as expected. He was the favorite and was in the lead at Takontna, but he got distracted by a women’s cross-country ski team and fnished out of the money. But he’s still a happy camper. He came home from the race to learn his young wife has another child on its way. Amazing! Rhett’s story prompted Gail Reinhart, the Class of 1978 columnist, to send a bit of 1964 news my way. Her uncle, Peter Reinhart, has retired from a long career as a freelance copy editor. He oversaw the copyediting of reference books, including a translation of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia and worked on the Encyclopedia of Education and yearbooks for Collier’s Encyclopedia. Peter has recently moved fromWyomissing to the Keystone Village retirement community in Ephrata, Pa. Finally, many of us have or will turn 80 this year. Congratulations and happy birthday to all. ’65Ronald L. Workman, 1981 Berrel Court, Yardley, PA 19067-7225.

I hope that those of you who were able to attend at least some of it had a good time and that you enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with some of the members of the Classes of 1966 and 1967. We are planning to do a fall football outing again this year. It will be on Saturday, Oct. 1, for the Monmouth game. More details will be provided later. Just a reminder that whenever you are making gifts to Lehigh, you can direct them to the Class of 1965 Scholarship Fund, where they will be used for scholarships to those who need fnancial help. This fund is part of Lehigh’s permanent endowment and is part of our class’s legacy. ’66James A. Tiefenbrunn, 1201 Butztown Road, #31, Bethlehem, PA 18017.

We will all have to wait with bated breath. However, I can report on the exciting conclusion of the word game. Remember the fall 2021 issue when Hal Hills used the word “eleemosynary” and I asked who could identify the defnition and spelling? Joel Goldstein, with help from Google, jumped right in with “managing private property for the beneft of donors. I’ll take a toy Porsche.” Richard Siegelman, of the College of Education Graduate Class of 1966, responded with the truthful acknowledgement that he recognized the word as one he had come across before but could not immediately defne it. So, he went to his well-thumbed 1992 American Heritage dictionary to fnd “of, relating to, or dependent on charity, contributed as an act of charity, gratuitous.” Richard said he was hoping to receive a consolation prize of at least a picture of a Porsche, or a porch, or perhaps a kit with which to build a porch. George Hawes reported that he knew how to spell eleemosynary because of spell check. He added that he had chosen to join the Marine Corps after graduation. After Navy fight training, he logged 2,000 hours on active and reserve duty over 14 years. He worked for Citibank in New York and London for 17 years, raised four successful kids and now has 12 grandchildren. He still has a marketing business in Rowayton, Conn., and a happy second wife. George stays in touch with a few Fiji brothers. Ken Johnston sent an email that he and Barbara have reloS UMM E R 2 0 2 2 | 4 5
