Herb Gladstone in Oswego, OR, has moved to
a retirement home called Visiting Angels! He
says that it is an exceptional place near Reed
College, where, as we know, Herb is a professor
emeritus.
I have had some interesting conversations
with George Hunt in Owego, NY, concerning
developments among colleges and universities.
This is especially interesting when one has 5
grandchildren in various universities as we do.
Jim Sprague and his lady friend, Shirley, in
Miami have not slowed down a bit, driving into
town to see operas, horse races, and what have
you. Shirley returns to her home in TN in April
and I suppose Jim will escort her himself.
Ed Hornung in NJ sounded great. He ought
to get a job as a radio announcer! He said that
he still has a valid driver’s license but using it is
just a memory.
The last time I graced a motor vehicle dept,
the processing lady handed me the license and,
smiling, said, “Good luck!” We will see!

Dan Miller (Mentor, OH) says he’s now given
up both competitive and social tennis. He and
his wife are less active but have no complaints.
“We’ve been incredibly fortunate.” Dan admits
he’s not in his sister’s league — she’s turning
100 next year. His final comment: Being a good
Unitarian, he’s not fantasizing about “life everlasting.”
(We’re Unitarians, too.)
H. Guyford ‘Guy’ Stever died Apr 9 at his
home in Gaithersburg, MD. After receiving his
PhD in physics at Cal Tech, he had a long, very
distinguished career as a professor at MIT and
in various key federal positions. From 1965–1971,
he served as president of Carnegie Tech and,
after merger, Carnegie Mellon. His wife died in
2004. Our condolences go to his sons, Roy and
Guy Jr ’70, and his daughters, Sarah Stever and
Margarette Weed. (See In Memoriam for a full
obituary.)
Katharine and I recently had our 3 greatgrandchildren
together for the 1st time: Kaitlyn,
4, Matthew, 10 months, and Nico, 4 months.
Having just read and enjoyed Alison Gopnik’s
recent book, The Philosophic Baby, we had lively
case-study tots to observe and cherish.

We have lost 3 more stalwarts: Frank Farnsworth,
Cuy Low, and Dave Thurber. After getting his PhD
at Harvard, Frank taught econ and became dept
chair at Colgate. Cuy was a lawyer-banker and
our class editor for many years. Dr Dave was our
pres for the 65th Reunion; he always regretted
that asthma prevented him from military service
in WWII or Korea.
In March, about 180 ladies who were Women
Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) in WWII received
the Congressional Gold Medal. Did you know
that the wife of late classmate Ted Ferree, ‘Hut,’
was pres of that group for several years?
Jim Dickinson has been invited to this year’s
reunion, where he will reminisce about the good
old days when he was VP.
We are down to a class of 15. Please tell us
about your grandchildren, infirmities, indiscretions,
or something.

Hal Heim ’45 has issued a challenge to the
Class of 1940 to play them in a game of touch
football on Whitnall Field sometime during the
2010 Reunion. Hal, we shall await.
Received notice of the death of Richard W
Rogers, at the age of 90, on Feb 14.

We are told that right now several thousand
American WWII veterans die every day. Almost
all of our Colgate ’41 class took part in the WWII
war effort. In this issue of the Scene, we are saluting
the growing number of classmates who are
passing on.
Ed Milkey was with the field artillery in
Europe from 1942–1946. He had a taste for the
internatl setting through his participation in our
class’s DC study group. He died in VT in Dec.
Bill Berberich also developed a broad view
of things as a member of the Internatl Relations
Club at Colgate. His whole career was as an
educator after earning his master’s and PhD at
Columbia. He died in Oct ’09.
Armando ‘Army’ Caseria joined the USAF in
1942 and retired as a colonel in 1967. He was a
flight instructor for many years thereafter. He
also served in the Pentagon in DC. He and I corresponded
regularly for many years from coast
to coast. He died in Feb in CA.
Wef Warner enlisted in the Army as a private
in 1942. As a 2nd lt, he participated in the UT
Beach landings and in campaigns in France and
the Rhineland. He received the French Croix de
Guerre, 3 battle stars, and was promoted 3 times
during the European campaign and discharged
