Text Box: (Continued from page 1…...)

A Word from the ‘Pres.’ ¾
Jack MacDonald continues his       outstanding job as Class Agent for   Annual Giving.  Please continue to  support his efforts.  John Harman in turn, has filled some of the void left by the untimely passing of  Bob Keidel, who with Curly Marsh produced our Summer Newsletter for thirteen great years.  Even the current   publication of our ‘33 Tiger Cub News, I understand, will cease with this   issue because so few classmates are left.

In closing, permit me to pay tribute to the wives of our departed classmates.  We affectionately refer to them as ‘Associates’ ¾ and without their efforts our class reunions would not have been the success they were.  No longer have we the luxury of any classmates living in Princeton.  We do have one honorary class member (Dottie Werner) residing there, along with three loyal  associates (Weedie Stokes, Naomi Reik and Rita Ludlum) who offer their hospitality to visitors and have helped support the class financially and otherwise.

Next to Mary, my wife of 69 years, I love you all !  Even when you write to me as your gall-bladder-less, or appendix-less ‘prexy’, I am content so long as you don’t say ‘gutless’ !

Here’s wishing a healthy New Year to each and every one of you !


Text Box: A Tribute to a Great Publication…...
Text Box: Text Box: The class of 1933 gathers for its Reunion Photo at the Fiftieth.
Text Box: OUR MEMORIES sometimes dim as we grow older, and there may be tendencies to forget details about some of the wonderful friends we knew in earlier years.  Fret not, for there  is an excellent way to correct that problem and remove the blur from that mental picture insofar as it concerns the Class of 1933.  Just retrieve the copies of the Class of 1933 Summer Newsletter from wherever you’ve been storing them, and browse through those many pages that bring into focus the travels, achievements, interests, and even ‘hi-jinks’ of our classmates.

This collection, published over a period of thirteen years, was a monumental effort, initiated by Bob Keidel in 1989 and soon joined by co-editor Curly Marsh.  Each issue provided a variety of content that kept it informative,    interesting and entertaining.   There were items on class activities, contributions from classmates reporting on    careers, personal experiences, travels and family.  There was humor, poetry and even serious thought                contemplating the future.  In the 2001 issue Bob        commented “we have had articles about 92 classmates and news items about a great many others”.   The index in that issue lists over 215 items published.   

It is hard to imagine any finer tribute to our Class than the work put into this project by Bob and Curly.  They      provided a form of communication for us that held us    together and kept us informed.  So dig out those copies you stored away and enjoy !  What …can’t find them ?  Bob took care of that also, for even though it was in the early days of personal computers, he made arrangements    for access on the internet.
