Class Notes 1933 Jack Selvage is doing very well in Williamstown, Massachusetts, home of his college alma mater. He moved to a retirement community there about three years ago. In addition to the concerts, lectures and sports events offered by the college, Jack plays bridge twice a week with his 98-year-old partner who is still sharp as a tack. 1941 Joe Byrne keeps busy these days enjoying his 16 grandchildren from his six children, and playing golf. Joe retired in 1986 from the Joseph M. Byrne Company. His dad, also Joseph, was a member of the Class of 1911 and a Newark Academy trustee. Ralph Del Deo retired a number of years ago after practicing law in New Jersey for 50 years. He lives in Palm Beach, Florida, with his wife of 60 years, Blanche. They have four children, eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. 1945 Denis Hagios, son of Edria and Ted Hagios, is very active in the Special Olympics and had his picture on 66,500 boxes of Wheaties cereal after winning the International Gold Medal in golf. He competed against 11 other players from all over the world in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, and won by an amazing 10 strokes. Ted is active with his lecture, “The Colony of New Jersey 1664 to 1776,” and is working on a project with 8th graders to increase their understanding of the area by looking at old buildings, deeds, graveyards, businesses and industries, circa 1700-1850. The children can now walk through their communities and point out where the sawmill or blacksmith shop was, what family ran it, where they lived and where they are buried. 1948 Jacob Stern, grandson of Bill Stern, was valedictorian at The Brentwood School in Los Angeles. He was accepted early by Stanford University, was captain of the swim team his junior and senior years, has straight A’s, and speaks, writes Larry Taylor ’50 Bill Richards ’50 and reads Japanese. He is also a very nice young man of whom Bill is very proud. 1950 Roger Brodkin wrote, “Life is favoring me thus far with reasonably good health and fading vest gives of once formable mind, I continue in my career even as the distant shades await me.” Bill Richards reports that all is well. Although he feels somewhat detached from the current school community, he cherishes the memories and experiences of the 1950-51 years. He feels that the varied experiences of the staff and students played a significant role in his development. Since retirement in 1985, Bill and his wife have owned and operated a pet care facility in Brooksville, Florida. (www.forfours.com) Larry Taylor and his wife, Jean, still reside in Albion, Michigan, in a home nestled in a wooded area overlooking a branch of the Kalamazoo River and adjacent to Albion College’s nature preserve. Larry remains an active emeritus professor at Albion College’s Department of Geological Sciences, which he established in 1964. He is publishing accounts of his early polar experiences as a glaciologist in Greenland, Alaska and Antarctica in journals. He and two Dartmouth 39
