6 August 2009 UPDATE ON ABEL WHITE ('61)

WE have two web sites now. This is where we
post our horses.
http://whiteoakbarrelhorses.sports.officelive.com/default.aspx

Just a quick update on me.

WORK: I am still working for DA G8 Force Development and oversight for
DA on a University XXI program which has the University of Texas and
Texas A&M University conduct research in technical areas i.e., software
tools, technical multimedia etc.  It's a great job and I plan to work a
year or two longer.  With the cost of Hay (serious drought here in
Texas) and feed, I may work longer but I enjoy the work.
HEALTH: My twin, Aubrey had bi pass 12 years ago, and I had it 6 years
ago.  However two of the bi passes on me collapsed.  I only found out as
I was planning to run a full marathon in Sep 09 in Salmon, Idaho, but my
doc suggested a stress test.  Bottom line, had 3 stints put in and they
are functioning great etc. etc.  Highly recommend periodic check ups if
you are at risk for heart attack.
ACTIVITES:  My horse riding is still going and we had a descent year
with 6 horses sold this year. All the owners from California to Oklahoma
are all very satisfied with their new barrel horses.  The owners are
from 8 years old to 45, so believe our bloodlines are going real good.
My wife is still barrel racing and doing pretty good considering all
factors.  Thank God she is also a registered nurse and saved my bacon
twice that I know of.  This past month, I was inducted into the Texas
Bell County Ring Of Honor as a Rancher and Farmer.  I had lived 9 years
in Bell County.  I still host youth groups with their sponsors at my
small ranch and provide them on hands demo with horses and riding
lessons free.  Safety, Safety and more safety. TRAVEL:  We are hoping to
get to Europe this fall or late winter and visit France, Italy, Germany
and hopefully get to Israel. 
Just thought I would drop a line, God bless and if any of you visit
Central Texas, please drop by if you have time.

22 July 2009 UPDATE ON CHARLES "CHUCK" SLOAN ('66):  Married and living in Hurst, Texas.  He's a retired Captain from the  Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Airport Police Department after 30 years of service, and now works for TSA at DFW.  He is currently the President of the Texas Chapter of the FBI National Academy Associates.  The attached photo of him and his wife, Tish, was taken at their conference in Beaumont, Texas in June, 2009.  NEW EMAIL: CRSLOAN@SBCGLOBAL.NET

13 July 2009 UPDATE ON MELISSA STREETER ('63)
Thought I should let you know am playing the Army brat rag--traveling in my mobile doll-house, visiting friends/family, attending bluegrass jams/fiddle camp, researching geneology and visiting places I've always wanted to see in person.  Rick Negrete was supposed to be driving while I made peanut butter sandwiches, but decided full speed ahead at least on the peanut butter.  When's our next reunion--or informal gathering.  The ones who show up can dance until everyone else gets there.
 
This winter am thinking of going to France for a while.  If it's true Mme. LaPlace moved back to our home town, do you have her address?

9 May 2009 CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR DR. MARVIN. L. PERRY (OHS chemistry teacher 1956-1960) was held on 3 May 2009 in Fayette, Missouri.  Below is a follow-up from his niece, Monica:

Hello to all of you dear, sweet, wonderful people!!  

On behalf of our family, I want to thank you from the very bottom of my heart for your wonderfully kind words about Uncle Marvin…I put them all in a book for his “Celebration of Life” this Sunday…and it was a huge hit.  Imagine, friends and family all just drinking in all of your words…and realizing what an amazing impact he had on so many people.  It was absolutely priceless.  I have attached the text of the booklet (Memories of Marvin), along with two photos and a scan of an article that appeared in the local paper…it was written by a dear friend of Marvin’s (and just so you know, we called him Uncle Pee Wee) … I think you will all enjoy that as well.   

I made a copy of the book for Martha and MaryLou (his sisters)  -- and they absolutely treasure it.  If you know of anyone who would like or need to have a hard copy of this, I’ll be happy to send it to them…just let me know!!  

The Celebration of Life was wonderful…My husband and I attended, as well as Martha, her son Hank and his family and Marylou, her husband and their son Mark and his family.  Some of our cousins attended as well, and we also had many visitors from the community.  I imagine that over 50 people attended…and that’s not bad in a town of two thousand!!     The event was held in what I still refer to as Grandma’s house…a house that our family has lived in for almost 75 years.  This is where Marvin spent his childhood and where he came home from teaching you to spend every summer with my Grandma and the rest of his (usually visiting) family…and this is where he retired to in the early 90’s.  Needless to say, it is very much Marvin’s house…with his piano, enormous record and cd collection (all of great jazz artists, of course) and his paintings covering every wall.  He was very much there with us that day…and it was beautiful to be together in a place that he loved so very much.  His friend Tom played some piano for us as well…and it was almost like Marvin was back, playing his piano and singing for us.   A few of us drank a Vodka toast to him as well…something that I’m ABSOLUTELY certain he appreciated!!  

I sincerely hope that you will keep in touch with me … you are all a very real link to my favorite uncle that I miss so very much…and it is abundantly clear that you all loved him dearly as well.   

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feelings about Marvin…I know he’s touched and very proud to have impacted your lives…and I sense that he is still very much with us, here to watch over us and keep us moving in the right direction…as he has all along!!  

With MUCH love,

Monica Perry

9 May 2009 UPDATE FROM AUBREY WHITE ('60):

Thought I would share the following. I think folks in the education or research areas will find it of interest.

Recently the U.S. Air Force and the Air Education Training Command made a news release regarding work my students and staff at the University of Texas at Austin did on behalf of the Air Force to develop a "Blended Learning Model" for the Air University Squadron Officer Course. These millenials and digital natives are doing great applied research for our nation and our military. The article may be viewed at http://www.aetc.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123140455  Also if you go to the home page you will see the document we assisted the Air Force with in the future vision of learning and crossing the generation gap from millenials, baby boomers, Generation X Y and all others in between. Our next big project is a Red River Alliance with the University of Oklahoma. I was up there two weeks ago and we are going to commence building a Virtual Platoon Leader Trainer for training leadership to 2d Lieutenants. We are really excited about this. Also received another grant for 900,000.00 for continued research in use of gaming technologies and virtual worlds for learning. Also, my university web page is www.uxxi.org I was also happy to be appointed as a "Fellow" at our Institute for Creativity and Capital at the University of Texas at Austin.

Finally, the /*most important news*/ is that Shirley, my wonderful wife of almost 44 years is doing fine after surgery for breast cancer. It had not spread to the lymph nodes.  This was good news to us. We had planned on going to New York City with the Texas Exes but had to cancel out at the  last moment. Fortunately we had insurance to cover unforeseen circumstances such as this. I pass this on for you folks that are greeping up the ladder on the age ladder. It was a good investment.   Aubrey

A Posting from Gudrun Clem Blackmon (’58)  

I remember the reunion of 1985 vividly.  It was the first time I had seen my Orleans classmates since I graduated in 1958.  What an awesome time we had in D.C. and I will always thank Dave for bringing us together.  

Then email emerged and soon so many of us were connected easily and effortlessly.  I now number many OHSers as the greatest of email buds and love the idea they are out there – all over the country – just a key stroke away.  

The reunions of recent past have been wonderful as well.  However, 2 years is a long time not seeing friends.  Especially as one gets older.  With that in mind, a few of us wistfully mentioned that it would be nice if some of us could get together for a weekend somewhere before we meet again in 2010 in Baltimore.  Somehow that thought took on a life of its own and before we knew it a date and a place was selected.  

So – why not throw an invitation on the website for those of you out there who might want to join a small group of us in Charlottesville , VA , 1-3 May.  

This is a very unstructured affair.  Nothing formal.  Let’s call it a Spring Fling.  It is not meant to be a reunion.  No itinerary, no name tags, no group hotel rooms.  Just a get-together of old friends.   

If you are interested, shoot me an email and I can give you more details.  I don’t want to bore those who aren’t interested with useless information.  Contact me at:  gudrun.blackmon@us.army.mil

Don’t ask me who will be there and let that be your decision maker.  We have no clue, for the most part.  One day so-and-so is going to show.  The next week they aren’t sure.  And that’s how it’s been going.  We’ve sent out the word and if you show up – that’s cool.  If not, we’ll see you in Baltimore .  

Speaking of Baltimore .  Our Chairlady, Jacquie, is “interviewing” hotels the first part of April and will then confirm the dates for Baltimore .  I know it will be in October 2010 so put a huge circle around that month and await the news of a firm weekend.

 

28 March 2009 UPDATE FROM TERRI SERAFINE Lindsey ('65):

Update from Argentina

 

It's been a while since I've done an update. 

 

Things on this side of the earth seem more American friendly now that Obama is in, although there are still a few people like Chavez and Morales who like to bad mouth our government and accuse all Americans that are working in their countries of being spies.  Both Presidents of Bolivia and Venezuela kicked out our   U.S. Ambassadors.

 

Cristina ( Argentina 's president) has been buddies with Chavez, has visited Cuba and even took a picture with Castro, visited Libya as well as Moscow , so who knows whose side she's on, but Obama just called her Friday to let her know his administration is different than the last.   I'm sure you wonder why we would care about Argentina , but that's what our diplomatic corp does--keep the peace with other countries so all of them are essentially important.

 

You never know what could happen-- Venezuela and Bolivia could gang up and shoot nuclear missiles our way and we'd need Argentina as a strategic location to fight back.  Just a bizarre example as to why we try to keep a good relationship with our allies and so far, Argentina is our ally.

 

I have friends visiting this July for a couple weeks so I plan to take them to some estancias (ranches) for BBQ, horseback riding, and a gaucho (cowboy) show.  The gauchos are great horseman and do some pretty fantastic riding tricks like getting a tiny ring onto a pole while running the horses at full speed.  Then they give the ring they've nabbed to the prettiest lady in the audience.

 

Last night I took a friend of Jimmy Buffets to a traditional tango show.  She's an ex-model and married to the Greek guy that used to own Cherokee shoes.  She was here fly fishing for a week and caught a 21 pound trout.  She released it or I'd be having trout for  a month!  So all you fisherman out there, the biggest ones are here in the crystal clear lakes of Patagonia .  Love and Besos until the next update….



Cheers

24 February 2009 UPDATE FROM DAVE THATCHER ('62):  During our RV travels thru Florida this winter, we came back to the Tampa area, and found out that JUD SPENCE ('63) was participating in an art festival at the Lakeridge Winery in Clermont on 22 February.  So I sent an email out to all OHSers in Florida to come see the show if they were close enough.  ANDREA "ANDY" KLACIK ('62) and her husband, Ed Nove made the trip, but got there 30 minutes after I left.  She called, and we ended up having dinner that night in Brandon.  Hadn't seen her since the reunion in 1985.

31 December 2008 UPDATE FROM TERRI SERAFINE Lindsey ('65)

Feliz Navidad, and Happy New Year!
 
I just returned yesterday from a fabulous two-week vacation throughout Argentina.  My son and I first went to Ushuaia where we took boats to see all the beautiful islands located near the most southern tip of the world.  We visited a sea lion and penguin colony (the penguins were mating and we were so close to them we could touch them--actually Steven did and almost got his finger bit off after being told NOT to mess with them), a hundred year old jail that held some pretty nasty criminals in its day (the Argentines had the same system as Australia where they would put there worst criminals where they couldn't escape) and ate King Crab until we were sick of it (never thought that would happen).
 
Then after three days of cold and windy weather but gorgeous sites, we flew to Califate to visit the third largest lake in the world to see glaciers.  They were awesome (attached photos) and some were melting and falling into the water while we watched.  The town was quaint and I personally knew a chef at an excellent restaurant, so between the good food and wine plus the gorgeous sites, we had another great visit.  Then we flew to our last destination of Bariloche.
 
This town is basically a ski town but is even prettier in the summer when the flowers are in full bloom and the trees are green.  I took a catamaran to a mountain to see some gorgeous waterfalls, hiked an hour through the forest, stopped at a hotel on the beach next to a lime green river created from melted glaciers, and saw a 1900 year old dead tree, but his grandson was still alive at 1500 years old!  
 
So if you want to take some trips outside of Buenos Aires when you visit (I'm hoping to see a few of you here during my tour), I'll have explored them all in advance to recommend the best places to go here.  Hasta luego, amigos! 

Cheers

21 June 2008  UPDATE FROM TERRI SERAFINE Lindsey ('65) on 14 June 08:

Another update from Buenos Aire. I've now been here almost three months—time certainly flies when you're having fun, and have established contacts in my ritzy neighborhood starting with a delightful pretty boy hairdresser that gives me funky haircuts, a wine store owner that recommends some awesome Argentine wines, a flower vendor whose roses don't wilt after two days, and taxi drivers that are so friendly, one of whom was a magician who had autographed pictures of David Copperfield and himself plastered all over his windshield and dashboard. My Spanish is improving from all the Argentine soap operas I watch and I'm inhaling the lifestyle with mucho gusto. Argentina is truly a fascinating place, even though I've only ventured out of the city a couple times since my arrival. Next weekend though I'm going to an estancia (escape to the countryside) with a group of expats and tourists.

I've was introduced to a wonderful guy who is an airline steward with an Argentine airline and he is inviting me to explore great cultural events and the local cuisine. He's also a chef and cooked a fabulous dinner for me. Too bad he's gay or I'd be falling in love! The embassy crew are either married or gay themselves so there's not much activity going on with them and me. It's not like it was when I was in the Foreign Service the first time and we bonded as a group and did a lot of traveling and partying together. Now no one drinks or even entertains anymore and as far as traveling, it's hard to get anyone to commit to even a weekend out of town. So I'm going outside the embassy circle to find friends. It was the same way in Paris—most of my friends were Parisians, which was a miracle to be able to get accepted into their circles.

Argentina is a third world country that pretends to be first world by flaunting it's beautiful architecture and boosting about its famous opera house or museums, yet the opera house is closed indefinitely for renovation, and the museums are in disarray. Even the new president is a joke with her daily speeches to the public about the farmer's strike or economy, yet nothing changes and she refuses to discuss the problem with the farmers. Rumor has it the government has organized the truckers to block the roads and the farmers have nothing to do with it. One saying has it, the Argentines build beautiful sand castles, only to step on them.

Customs won't release our vehicles, but also won't give us the reason why many of us have been waiting six months for our cars. I haven't even received my household effects because I shipped a motorcycle with my effects and it's considered a vehicle so I can't get anything until the Argentine government decides what they want to do. Can you imagine the state of our cars after a year of storage? Mine has been in storage since last September. I'm sure it's not good for the tires, engine and paint job especially if it has to sit at the port in Miami with the sea air eating away at it.

But other than the normal problems of living in other countries with strange laws and customs, this is a great place. The Argentines are very friendly, at least the ones I've encountered, and even though they are we are told there's anti-American sentiment here, I don't feel it. People are people and if you treat them with respect, they treat you back the same way.

Until my next update, hasta luego....Terri

4 June 2008 UPDATE ON BILL MCCLAIN ('64):  The following comes from an email that Bill's wife, Michele, sent to Judy Holdsworth Scott ('60)
Judy:
 
    Bill said he had no problem with you telling his story on the website.  The detailed info is as follows:
 
After suffering for 2 1/2 years with chronic daily headaches, Bill finally found relief with a Chinese acupuncture doctor.  No headaches for over 8 months.
 
In February he went into the hospital for a heart cath where they opened 2 blocked arteries and put in stints.  Unfortunately, this procedure shut down his kidneys and put him on dialysis.  It now appears to be permanent and his kidney doctor has recommended him for a kidney transplant at Emory in Atlanta.  He will be evaluated the middle of July.  We are hoping that in spite of these other medical issues, he will still be a candidate.
 
Shortly after that, Bill was having difficulty swallowing and when seeing an ENT doc, they discovered cancerous growths on his vocal cords.  He had them removed and just this week started radiation therapy.  Of course, he must fit all of this in with his 3 times a week dialysis.
 
Through it all,  he continues to be in good spirits and horrifies the doctors and nurses with cigars hanging out of every pocket.  He said if they can't be in his mouth then they should be somewhere on his body.
 
I will continue to keep you posted  and thanks for your constant thoughts and prayers. 
 
Love  -  Michele

12 May 2008 UPDATE ON BITSY CABALLERO Lee ('64):
Dear Dave,
 
I want to say I'll be there with my husband, but life is really topsy now.  I hope that there will be late bookings, so to speak, just in case things turn around.  San Diego would be perfect because it's so close to all our kids in Phoenix. 
 
My book got published last October, it's called Ramblings - Off the Record.  I'm thoroughly disappointed in my publisher (but you make very bad deals the first time out) because she changed my (I thought) very good title "Off the Record, an irreverent look at life in court" to that title it has, to reflect her own magazine Ramblings, (for court reporters), I suppose thinking it would boost sales, but it did nothing so far, and then she put this ridiculous cover on the front that makes it look like a kid's book.  I had in mind, you know, glasses and scales, a court reporting machine, transcripts piled around, and she has a drawing of a kid on a rock dreaming of castles.  that was fine for the first chapter, but not for the front cover.  so back to the "drawing board."  she's hounding me for another book, and I would rather die than go with her again.  so, anyhoooooooo
 
Work is difficult to come by here.  I was in the Hague (war crimes) three weeks, and I spend about two weeks out of every month in Dublin, fly all over, Prague, Spain (there was a funny one ... the 21 year old space cadet put me on three flights from tel aviv to Barcelona ... i was supposed to be in Gibraltar ..., then a disgruntled attorney from France picked me up at 8 in the morning and drove 100 miles an hour for a few hours to get to Gibraltar, then he didn't need me until 2 p.m., and after promising to get me to Madrid for my next-day flight, he dumped me in Gibraltar and said, "Go thopping, the thtores are nices in Geee braltar" and sped away with all my equipment (about $10,000 worth).  aaaaagh.  And then after the deposition (and after he had no cash, nor did the translator, but granny had some ... I had to pay for their boozy lunch) he decided he didn't want to drive us (through the night) to madrid, so me and a 21 year old amercian translator from St. Louis had to hop a BUS for 10 hours with pigs and chickens.  It was a fabulous ride, packed to the gills on a bus -- granny hadn't been on a bus since she was 16 -- and of course the 21 year old translator, a male with a hollow leg (and equally hollow head) needed sustained food intake at each stop, and still had no money.  So granny got to spend the night with a 21 year old, feed and burp him on a two-hour schedule, and guess what, it ain't anything like one would imagine.  He didn't even know who the beatles were.  now come on.  I did know who Smashing Pumpkins is, and I'm really not into atonal music, so we really had nothing to discuss on any level. the bus was packed with muslims, so that even if you got that little bit of sleep, knees aching from not being able to move around or stretch, they had recorded prayers that one of them was dutiful to play, and the rest of them were ass in the air in the aisle, so ... oh, it was joyful to say the least. 
 
So I am still farming myself out around the world.  I would be in fat city but we bought a restaurant.  (Don't do this.)  It was the worst mistake of our life.  Of course, it's a Mexican food restaurant, the best in Israel, also Europe.  There are a few, but they are god-awful.  And of course, what other name than Caballero's ... and it's a haven for Americans, aside from the comfort food, they just love to gather there.  My daughter is a graduate chef, and does a great job, but there were so many hidden costs -- like, (the girls, our daughters, wouldn't take a single word of advice, even though we sent in experts to give them aid) and they were so emotionally attached to the one building, so they overpaid for equipment by four times its value, and most of it had to be thrown out before they could open their doors.  the fridges didn't work, and they were afraid to run the electricity until they were ready to open, which is not the day to find out, when you just stocked the freezer with 3000 bucks worth of perishable goods.  then there's the sign police -- "Vat?  you hev a sign?  Dat's $5000."  So we said fine, we'll take down the sign.  took it down (still a fine, however, for daring to put up a sign on a street full of signs).  Then painted the name on the window.  "Vat?  you hev a sign?  Dat's $5000."  You can't win in a state run by bureaucrats.  fire codes, civil codes, police requirements, mouse police, cockroach police, the pesky neighbor in the back alley who doesn't like the sound of laughter, the old and probably insane lady who stands on her balcony and screams out at night, "Help, I'm trapped and they won't feed me or give me water."  Vicky has convinced her to come down and get food at the outside tables in the back where the staff take their dinner if she promises to put on a dress, and she can have all the water she wants, so she does come down, and she does put on a dress, a hat, gloves and stockings and wobbly high heels to come down a couple nights a week to have a free meal.  there's the veg guy who is hitting on the younger girl until the older one is threatening him with a meat cleaver, and the standard beggars who come around.  The girls have a policy, you can't come in and bother the patrons, but if you're hungry you can come around the back for a meal.  I don't think they give away a lot of food, but the funny part is, we've had hungry people who realize it isn't kosher and walk away.  go figure.  A taco without cheese?  please.  but it's been a constant struggle, like last month the waitress called me in dublin and said our chairs are falling apart and someone's going to fall .... so I spent 2 grand getting the chairs in, because I can afford that better than a law suit.  it's just one thing after another, and even though it breaks even most days, it's so far behind that it strips me of every cent I can earn and then some. 
 
work dried up completely in dublin, where I made my most money, and that because someone convinced the court that digital recording was cheaper than court reporters.  they spend 33 million euros installing it ... and I don't think the 80 court reporters would cost that in five years, or even ten.  but whatever.  so I pray for work and to maintain our lifestyle ... (and the two daughters in the restaurant had to move home with their four cats ... omg ... ) 
 
the singular "consolation," since they feel so badly ... aaaaagh ..... is that they PROMISE that when we're "old" they will take care of us. 
 
Somebody shoot me. 
 
Heh-heh.  Oh, by the way, I write a humor column for the Jerusalem Post now called Israel Lite, that gets published every other week.  Of course, back when I was dreaming of being lois lane, no one explained to me that writers make no money unless they're named Stephen King ...
 
Wishing I could go to San Diego ... but we all know (at this stage of our lives) that things can always change.  I don't have the woe-is-me attitude I had all through my 20s and 30s and even 40s.  Life always surprises me, and usually it's a pleasant one. 
 
Much affection, from Carmelita (Caballero) Lee ....
Hod HaSharon, Israel
 
(for all the crabbing, I do live in the lap of luxury, thanks to God's good provision, with magnificent views, so ... I don't want to complain too loudly).

On 1/1/08 I am starting a new career.  I have joined a very large global building materials company.  It is a Swiss Company called HOLCIM.  They have locations spread across the world.  I will be their new General Manager for Customer and Operational Excellence for Holcim (USA) and will have 80+ locations throughout the USA.  It will entail much travel.  Will continue to reside in Tampa Bay, Florida with an office in Michigan. 
 
I retired from Johns Manville after 33 years with my last stint working and based in the Slovak Republic.  I then worked for 2 other companies after my retirement from Johns Manville.  James Hardie with factories in Plant City, Florida and Brisbane, Australia.  Then worked for a year with Guardian Insulation on the West Coast based out of Kingman, Arizona. 
 
I then tried almost a year of "real" retirement and just couldn't do it anymore.  Had to get back to work.   I am very lucky to be able to join a great company as Holcim.
 
Visited Orleans this last May.  Drove down from Paris and spent the day in Orleans and Olivet going down memory lane again.  Was there from the end of 1957 through 1967 and it will always be a big part of my life.  It is always good to go back.  Also had a family reunion in Liege, Belgium where I was born and spent a great deal of my childhood.  Lots of fun.

As the younger brother of 3 OHS siblings, I appreciate that you include the class of 72 in your database.  I have been stationed in Europe several times in the past 30 years and visited Orleans on more that a dozen occasions.  On one trip, I went into the building on Coligny Casern where the snack bar used to be (it was being used as a garage by the city) and chipped some of the Yellow and Black tiles off the walls.  The workers thought that I was nuts but it is a great reminder of greasy cheeseburgers and bugging my brothers and sister (by walking into “their” area)!

30 Aug 2007 UPDATE: MICHAEL ALEXANDER ('68):  

I'm long overdue to check in with you and what would have been the class of '68 if Charlie DeGaulle hadn't given us the boot. I attended OHS from 1964-1967 and like everyone else on the OAHS site, I remember those days fondly. I got such a kick out of seeing the photos of so many of my old friends, I wanted to send you a couple recent photos.

I'm living large in Medway, Mass., a small town 25 miles SW of Boston. My wife, Lorri, my two kids, Jessie and Leigh, and I have been living here for about 18 years.

I came to the Boston area way back in 1972 to finish college at Boston University. Before that, I was at The American College (now University) of Paris and Schiller College (where I went to delay having to leave Paris). I figured I would grab my degree in poli sci and blow back to Europe. Instead, I got an M.S. degree in mass comm, got a job, got married and more than 30 years later, I'm still planning on going back. For nearly all that time, I've been a journalist, mainly writing for magazines covering IT. I wrote a couple of books on computer security and crime in the late '90s. I also wrote a weekly column on consumer electronics for The Boston Globe for many years.

17 July 2007 REFOUND: VINCE RASPER ('61) married, retired, and living in Williamsburg, Virginia.  Vince retired from ExxonMobil in June, 2002, after 34 years.    New email: ILA2@COX.NET   Vince writes:
I have been through Orleans three or four times over the last 20 years or so.  Ila and I were there two years ago.  Massive changes - it is hard to find things I once new the whereabouts of.  Probably the most interesting new thing there was the retro-modern street car system that runs from Olivet into the heart of Orleans.  I will dig through my pictures from that trip and send some to you. Sorry I missed the Roanoke reunion - it would have been relative close by.
 
A question for you and any others that were in Orleans in the 59 - 61 time frame:  I have recently read Alistair Horne's book A Savage War of Peace which is a history of the Algerian war of independence from France.  A lot of momentous stuff happened in the 59 - 61 time frame in French politics. On thinking back on this, it is obvious that I was completely oblivious as to what was going on.  Was this just me or was everyone else at OHS tuned out on this too?

1 June 2007 RETIRED & MOVED: GENE PELTIER ('62): Gene and his wife, Rita, have moved from Tampico, Illinois to Memphis, Tennessee after Gene retired from a government career that included 27 years of military service and 34 years of Army civil service.  His new email is PELTMAN2@YAHOO.COM.   Gene and Rita have 3 sons in the Army, and he wanted to share this poem that he wrote "for all our military, but especially for two of my three military sons that were in Iraq in the same unit at the same time.  The third son was a medical specialist in the repat ward where they bring the wounded, praying everyday one of them would not be his brother.  I just about went nuts."

There is a little thing I sometimes do, 
and I'd like to do it just for all of you.

There is a little poem that I often quote,
and it so happens it's one I wrote.

The next time you see an old vet or a soldier, 
just ask to shake his hand or pat his shoulder.

He may be an Army GI, Navy or Coast Guard seaman, or she may be the cutest little airman you've ever seen.
But then, too, he may be just an old straight-backed, leather-necked, dog-faced marine.

Just remember though that each and every soldier is someone's daughter or someone's son.
Then when you shake that hand or pat their shoulder, take time to thank them for what they all have done.

Then when the day is done, and comes the setting sun, 
Lift a little prayer to heaven, asking God to bless and protect them, each and every one.

 

Gene also wanted me to tell you that he has big gaps in his memory from years of undiagnosed diabetes.  Now that he has it "under control", conversations with fellow OHSers is helping him to reconstruct his days in Orleans.  So, if you've got some dirt on him, or just some nice remembrances, touch base with him, and help fill in the gaps.

17 January 2007 ABEL WHITE ('61): Status on his horse riding accident in October, 2006 --

Just thought I would let you know that I appear to be recovering pretty well from my latest horse accident.  I sustained a head injury which took 6 weeks to show up in my starting to walk to the left. Thought I only broke two ribs. I was taken from Darnell Army hospital to Brackenridge Hospital in Austin on 4 Dec 06.  I was there 4 days.  Diagnosis was "sub-dural hemorrhage" due to a leaking blood vessel.  Fortunately, it was exterior to the brain and surgery and recovering better than anticipated. I can now say I do have two holes in my head but actually not visible.  They sure give terrible haircuts prior to surgery.  I went for a follow up and not as cleared up as hoped, so may have to have more surgery.  Another 3 to 4 weeks will tell after another CAT Scan etc. I guess my training of horses is over, but can still do ground work in the round pen if I choose to, but no horsing around as Aubrey says. I was back at work 2 weeks after surgery and doing great. I was able to enjoy my daughter and 2 grand daughters from Fairfax, Va. along with my other two grown up kids over the holidays. I am truly blessed with great family, friends, and coworkers. I am especially blessed with Christine at my side. She is the one that actually said, NO Choice Your Going TO ER.  She's a registered nurse and excellent horse rider and competitor.  Anyway, thought I would update.  My goals for 2007 are, Keep Christine close to me, no accidents, diet/exercise, and continue to thank God for my blessings and being here. Appreciate being put on prayer lists.    Thanks, Abel
