From Bob's son Larry, Lehigh '81: Every
time I see dad, he says he owes you an email. Today, he was
reminiscing about Lehigh and I showed him his page.
After reading your comments on how long a white, male, born
in 1930 was expected to live, it led to: "What is expectancy
of a 94-year-old today?" On average, it looks like a little
more than three years. Not many days left so my sister
and I try to speak to my parents daily.
I trust dad will browse away in his free time and hopefully
email you at some point. He still does the shopping but I'm
not sure he would admit it. He and Toby celebrated
67 years together in 2024. They moved to the Vero Beach area
in 1994. Bob's grandson, my oldest son, Rhett
and his wife, Brielle, both graduated from Lehigh.
Hang in there -- and thank you for what you do for Lehigh!

From 50th Reunion Book, 2002 -
After both commissioning and graduation, I served in the USAF for 2
years, first briefly at Lackland AFB and then at Castle AFB (SAC).
During this time, I met classmates
Disbrow
(deceased),
Scarr
(deceased)
and
Toven
(deceased), to name those I readily remember.
Then off to Columbia University School of Business for an MS, followed
by 13 years at Price Waterhouse (PW). During this period, I became
a CPA and married Toby. We have a son, Laurence (LU
'82) and a daughter, Shari. I left PW to become the CFO of
Rheingold Breweries (RB), a client, and a fun job because of its then
association with the METS and JETS. While at RB, I was elected the
Mayor of Irvington, NY, serving 3 terms.
RB was acquired in an "unfriendly" takeover and yours truly was
"fired". Then on to American Cyanamid Co. (ACY) from which I
retired in January 1994 as Controller. During my ACY career, I was
"recalled" to Mayoral political life and was elected twice more, serving
until I relocated to Vero Beach, FL in April 1994. Classmates
Tom Balch,
Dave Gildersleeve
and
Harry Miller
(deceased)
are also in Vero Beach.
May 30th, 2001 - Frequently see our classmate
Harry Miller
(deceased) since he relocated to Vero Beach, Florida.
He is a member of the Moorings Club of which I am president and appears
to be a fine golfer. By the way while I spent over 20 years in
Wayne NJ, I never was at Picatinny Arsenal. Sorry about that and this
poor typing. Hope to be at our 50th. (2002)
November 9th, 2000 - Gus Magistro
(deceased)
thinks Bob may have worked at Picatinny Arsenal with him at one
time. |
