in Rutgers University’s newsletter,

raised $2.5 million over the past
30 years. He advises students to go
beyond academics and participate
in extracurricular activities that

Buddy Rosengarten is still feeling
good and hanging in there. He
communicates regularly with John
Whallon, and was sorry to hear
about the recent passing of friend
Herb Northrup. He spends most
of his time writing his memoirs
based on his experiences as a
member of the 20th century’s
“greatest generation.” He and his
wife will soon be moving to
Denver. They are both happy and
healthy, although Buddy concedes
that his broad jump’s not what it
used to be! He would love to hear
from any of his classmates.

moved to Kimbell Farms, a

still drove his motor home for the
winter to Green Valley, Arizona,
where he plays golf and enjoys
the outdoors.
