Band, Home Room Officer, Rifle Captain, Track Manager, Traffic Committee, Activities Key (Belated) 8th grade Bud Keen writes: Jerry Goddard’s wife, Peg, called us yesterday to inform us that Jerry had passed away. We visited them several years ago at their home near Boston. At that time, he had early stage dementia that probably progressed to Alzheimer’s. Sorry to have sad news about Jerry who was a friend since 7th grade. This year was their 64th anniversary. October 2017
November 2011 - Hi All. Still kicking but not hard enough to make the 65th reunion! My wife continues to be the light of my life after 58 years of marriage. Peace to you all. Jerry Goddard, Newmarket, New Hampshire February 2007: All is well here, just a little older which brings on some expected difficulties. This is the first year since 1964 that I haven't done some good skiing. But there is always next year. Our group grows smaller, but I hope to be with you at the 60th next year. I again this spring will be doing an overseas ministry, if you can call St. John, US, VI overseas. I hope you are well. Peace, Jerry
“The sun is shining, the grass is green ….” Remember the verse from that favorite holiday song, “White Christmas”? It’s about as old as we are! Well, here we are in New England in early December, usually the time for Jerry’s first foray onto the slopes, and the temperature is in the high 50’s. We’re still dreaming of a white Christmas while we plant bulbs in the still soft warm earth, and the robins linger longer. We can feel and see the changing patterns on our planet, both in the environment and among people, and we are concerned. Can we set aside all the worldly woes at this holiday season and glory in the beauty of the candles and carols, the garlands and guests, the magic of the Magi? How can we turn our backs on war and suffering neighbors around the world? I wonder what Jesus or Buddha, Mohammed or Moses would be doing if they walked the streets of the earth today. What would be their message to this troubled world? We need no more deaths or martyrs. We need truly compassionate, wise and visionary leaders. Do we dare hope for such a gift? But this is Christmas and we can dream of things far more weighty, intricate and beautiful than a snowflake. Let’s dream of that day of peace on earth with the blessings of freedom and justice for all humankind. We’ve had another eventful year. We’ve been so fortunate to have these great opportunities for interim ministries in fascinating parts of the world and making wonderful new friends. We spent almost 3 months last spring in that fascinating “down under” country of Australia. We were in Adelaide on the southern coast of South Australia which they claim to be the only state not settled as a penal colony, and they are quietly boastful of this fact. I’m not sure if we were more enthralled by the stately white trunked eucalyptus trees or the koala bears which clung high in their branches.
We too found the surrounding area where streams reflected the stately ghost gums silhouetted against the red rock to be a truly awesome place. We leave in February for St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands for a 10-week interim ministry. Now that’s hard to take!! Lots of changes in our family, and all very exciting news. Jan, our youngest daughter at 45 is pregnant with their first child and we all are overwhelmed with excitement! Linda is helping her husband begin a new solo medical practice. Spencer is a geriatrician and Linda will work with him in counseling the aged. Kirk has found his niche in the construction business, and is working as a supervisor in a large company in Portland, Me. remodeling churches and commercial buildings. All the grandkids are great, one in college, one about to enter, and 2 more not far behind. We do love living close to them all. They’ll be joining us on St. John for a few weeks’ escape from the New England winter. Snorkels for Christmas! Please join us as we celebrate new birth - of light, of peace, of freedom, and of babies born everywhere into a world of love and hope - for was this not the message of Jesus? We wish you all a very happy holiday season and a healthy new year. Peg and Jerry Goddard - Christmas ‘04 December 2003: Happy New Year Bill. I hope you are well as we enter the new year.
We are well and have had a very good year. We spent three months as
interim minister at a beautiful old Unitarian church in Hampstead, London.
Had our 50th A good down hill ski season has begun and we will be off to Adelaide, Australia ,for the months of March, April and May to do another interim ministry. It will be late summer and early fall there so we hope to use some of there many beaches, do some kayaking and explore some of the outback. Bill, we have lived at 220 Cushing Rd., Newmarket, New Hampshire since 1999 so maybe the address should be changed ? (Done) Stay well and have a good year. Peace, Jerry Goddard Unknown date: Minister Emeritus, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship I've been offered another exciting interim ministry position in Cape Town, South Africa for late February. 1999. We'll be there about 4 months. I continue to teach courses on Islam & the great monotheistic religions since my sabbatical in the Middle East 3 years ago. I am happy to say that wife Peg has been a good & faithful guide over the past 45 years. Where would men be without these strong, resourceful women? Last year we had a wonderful vacation in Scotland & Ireland. Can't forget our family reunion in New Hampshire either. Our families are growing & thriving in Boston & Freeport, Maine. We have 3 granddaughters and 1 grandson. (This was gleaned from their Christmas letter) Note of August 1999: Dear Bill, Peg and I returned from South Africa in mid July having completed an interim ministry at The Free Protestant Unitarian Church of Cape Town. Cape Town is a beautiful city in a country recovering from 40 years of apartheid fascism. A wonderful experience. We have been busy since returning as we moved into a new condo over looking the water at 220 Cushing Rd., Newmarket, New Hampshire, 03857. Retiring in N.H. puts us close to all 3 of our children and their families. I will be active with Planned Parenthood and hope to teach and do another overseas ministry. Jerry Goddard PS, Bill, this is my second note tonight - don't have a heart attack. I received an Activities Key in our junior year so I guess that's the reason it didn't make the yearbook. No big deal, but I keep seeing "Activities Key" mentioned other places every time I look at the website so I'm appealing for restitution, 51 years later. Peace, Jerry Goddard Christmas, 1999: Happy Holidays To All Our Dear Friends! As we gather around us the boughs and bows, lights and poinsettias, and all the symbols of the season which bring us a feeling of warmth and love, we look back over our past year and ponder the events which also brought us "comfort and joy" and challenge. '99 has been another year of change and "news" as we moved from New York to New Zealand to new South Africa and Finally to Newmarket, New Hampshire! It began when Jerry had an opportunity to do another interim ministry, this time in Cape Town. So in February off we went en circuitous route to South Africa by way of Auckland, NZ, visiting the church and friends with whom we spent 5 wonderful months last year. After a stop in Austrailia where we snorkeled on the Great Barrier Reef, we landed in SA where Jan joined us on a safari in Kruger Nat'l Park for a never to be forgotten and one might say religious experience. What a thrill to see the elusive leopard draped in a tree; during a night drive to spy on a lion courtship (as only a coy feline can perform!); to encounter another 2 lazy. engorged males who moved in after the lioness had made the kill (served the dinner?!) to guard the downed and devoured giraffe; to watch the sun set as it silhouetted the skeleton of a vulture perched tree, to see 3 hippos lazily snoozing with only eyes and nostrils breaching the water, while a sharp eyed crocodile facing upstream tensely braced with enormous mouth agape waiting for an easy catch; and being nose to nose with baboons (through glass!) as they hitched a ride on our car with their babes clutched to their underbellies. And oh, the elephants! These great beasts who so lovingly guarded their young as they stopped to challenge us with huge ears flapping. The wonders, wildness and wisdom of Africa!! Then on we went to Cape Town where we lived for 3 1/2 months at the foot of majestic - Table Mountain which rises from the sea and wraps protectively around the city. The moist Atlantic air rising over the mountain brings a cloud which drapes like a table cloth over its rim until the ceaseless "nurse winds" howl for days and lift the cloth. Such a mystical sight! This is a very spiritual mountain for many who live here, and one can easily capture the reverence surrounding it. If only the stability of the mountain prevailed on the political scene. As South Africa goes through transition from apartheid to democracy and as the balance of power between the races is adjusting, there is an enormous challenge to all. It is such a complex society and now with its new president, Mbeki, who was elected while we were there, watchful waiting and unrest mix with hope for the future of the new SA. There is violence engulfing the city as the blacks and coloreds claim "historical justice"; as the Township's jobless and homeless claim their rightful freedoms and move into the city and suburban parks, and those more fortunate people add higher walls, locks and electric wires. There are such conflicting emotions of fear and compassion which we felt strongly during our stay. But there is also a very strong sense of hope for a peaceful resolution among most of the South Africans we met. We grew to love and respect the people of this vastly diverse and beautiful country where gardens bloom in absolute glory in one of the world's richest botanic regions. We cherish the time we went and formed friendships which we treasure. There is a quiet, gentle with the wonderful people of the Unitarian church there, a gentile strength among the among the folks in SA, perhaps supported by that magical mountain, and a determination to continue in the path set by their great leader and role model, Nelson Mandela. Change is in the wind. We pray for it to be peaceful. We too have been in transition since our return in July. We moved into our new condo which we bought hastily 2 weeks prior to our African sojourn. Our new home in New Hampshire is west of Portsmouth on Great Bay, a bio-diverse estuary alive with herons, osprey, eagles, and not 7 but 37 swans a'swimming!! It is a gloriously peaceful and beautiful spot making retirement all the more delightful. Sharing space 24 hours a day is taking some adjusting, however! We're just an hour's drive from all our kids and grandkids who become more treasured to us as we and they all grow older. (Yes, older! I went to my 50"' high school reunion this summer!) It's great to be more a part of their concerts and sports and lives. Yes, life for us has been blessed. We realize just how fortunate we are as we spend time in developing countries and see how difficult life is for so many. Perhaps as we enter this new century we can use our great prosperity as individuals and as a nation to lift our hands and hearts to injustice and poverty. It can be an amazing 21' century for all the world's children. .And that's the news from Newmarket! Merry Christmas. Happy New Year and New Century!

From Bill Erdman, WebMaster: On the heels of "finding" Herb Kindle, I received news of Jim Griffith's death. Proverbial "good news, bad news." It happened the morning of June 11th, 2001. Jim and I traveled in much different circles in High School and I never got to know him very well. Now at this age, the circles don't seem to matter as much. He was a guy with problems just like me. He was loved by many and will be missed by many. My regret is that I never knew him better. My wish is that in some small way we can all get to know each other a little bit before we too get moved to this final page. Please write and tell us who you are today. It is a shame it took his obituary for me to know about Jim's terrific life. Time is moving on. Bill, June 2001

Attendance Squad, GAA, Honor Roll, Home Room Secretary and Vice-President, Y-Teens November 2015 Google search turned up this notice: CARNEY, Glenna G., a/k/a Glenna Guthrie Carney, deceased, of Allegheny County, PA. No. 1556 of 2015. Received an interesting e-mail that illustrates how we influence other without even realizing it. It also reminds us to remember those that touched our lives over the years. - Bill Hi! I used to ride the bus to Pgh from Mt. Lebanon, and one of the nice ladies who rode the bus with me was a Glenna Carney of Mt. Lebanon. I was 22, and I think Glenna at the time, was in 1981, was in her late 50s or early 60s. I remember enjoying her company mostly on the way to work, and we got together a couple times with other bus friends for lunch....I have thought of her fondly over the years, but have lost touch. I am now 53. I tried to google her ot see if she was still in the area and came upon our website. Her high school photo looks like the older Glenna I remember and I recall her laugh! Your note said that she was now in a nursing home. Could you please share where that might be? I'd love to at least send her a card. I now live in North HIlls and rarely get to Mt. Lebanon, but she was kind and friendly to me. I remember she was widowed, I think, and had one or two small dogs at her home. Best regards, Cheryl Stewart-Miller - November 2011 If you have any information about Glenna to add, let us know. August 2008 - The search for Glenna has been a study in perseverance and tenacity by Tom Arganbeight (deceased) & Bob Woeber (deceased):

Cheerleader, GAA Council, Honor Roll, Home Room Secretary, Medical Squad, Y-Teens President 7th Grade Unfortunately, Joan Bradley Hastings Crosby died on December 15, 2014. Joan’s husband Ralph wrote: Joan was a valued volunteer and innovator in the Richmond arts community, first as a docent and tour guide for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and a designer of impressive flower arrangements that greeted Museum visitors. She served twice as President of the Museum's Council and created the VMFA's Fine Arts and Flowers fund raising event, chairing its committee for the first two years and serving as Honorary Chair for its 10th anniversary. She also served as President of the Richmond Symphony Orchestra League and co-chaired the inaugural Symphony Designer House. She also served on the Advisory Board of the Visual Arts Center of Richmond. Joan was an accredited and highly sought after flower show judge and was particularly proud of her work in the Richmond Chapter of Ikebana International. But she always claimed that her greatest achievement was her beloved family. She successfully raised five wonderful sons, Douglas, Philip, Brad, Rob and Tom - the latter two were a complete surprised and were identical twins. She was a wonderful wife, mother and leader and left the community a much better place. Most sincerely, Ralph Crosby - November 2015

Unfortunately I did not learn of
Claire's death until August of 2022 when
Paul Laderer
said in an email, "My last contact with a classmate was with
Claire, but learned earlier this year that she passed away last
December (that would place in December 2021). Claire writes, I am fine and well. I was at a card party this month and Joan O'hanlon Rice was there and asked me to send on the news that she is doing well. She does not have a computer. We are both widows. I am so sorry to hear of Bob's death-he was such a fine and friendly man. - January 2018 Our Claire is the woman who came up with Eat'n Park's strawberry pie
That's right — strawberry pie. The signature pie, made with fresh berries in a strawberry glaze and ringed with whipped cream, celebrates its 60th birthday this month, and it's still very much on the menu. And the woman who created it, 85-year-old Claire Hatch Moore, is still a little sore about how I it came into the world. As the story goes, Claire's husband, Bob, who worked in management with Eat'n Park (and eventually became CEO), went with his boss to Cleveland to check out a strawberry pie that the restaurant industry was buzzing about. But the trio didn't wow them. They thought the pie was too sweet, and Mr. Moore rashly proclaimed, "My wife, Claire, could make a better one." "Which he had no business saying!” Claire said in a phone interview last week, 60-odd years after the fact. "I was only 23, and I hadn't cooked that much,” she said. "I was into babies” — they had two at the time, and went on to have two more, including youngest son, Bill, who is now Eat'n Park's director of safety and security. "I thought, 'Oh, crud,” when her husband said she had to come up with a pie. She started with a recipe from a long-since-forgotten cookbook but "fooled with it” until she came up with the recipe she liked. She foisted pie after pie on the neighbors, asking for their opinions: Was it too sweet? Too solid? When she finally came up with one that everyone seemed to agree on, that's the recipe Eat'n Park adopted. Bill Moore said the pie recipe is one of only a handful of recipes that haven't been changed or tweaked at all in the 35 years he's been working for the company. The pie's popularity hasn't waned, either. Two years ago, when the Post-Gazette asked expatriate Pittsburghers to tell us which foods they miss most from their hometown, many people mentioned Eat'n Park's strawberry pies. Last year, the chain sold more than 65,000 whole pies and nearly 18o,000 slices of pie. More than half of Eat'n Park's strawberry pies are sold in May each year, especially for the Mother's Day and Memorial Day holidays. Bill Moore grew up knowing his mom, Claire, was the creator of the famous pie, but ironically, he never liked strawberries as a kid. He didn't even try his first slice of Eat'n Park strawberry pie until about two years ago, at which point he told his mom, "You know what, this is pretty good. I think it might catch on." Claire never dreamed her recipe would still boast regional fame 6o years later. "I was just trying to get out of a jam he'd put me in,” she said of her husband. And although she's the daughter of Eat'n Park founder Larry Hatch, she apparently never ended up falling in love with baking. When asked whether she's made a lot of strawberry pies over the years, she shot back, "I haven't made one since” the original taste tests. "Why would I? I can go to Eat'n Park and get them!" - May 2014 June 2005 - Hi! After 57 years I feel it's time to check in. They were busy years but I could have made time to write. I went to a girls college in VA and then on to Grove City College where I met my husband Bob. We have two sons here in Pgh. and one in N. Carolina. We have nine grandchildren ranging in age from 3rd grade to college. My husband is retired and we sold our larger home to one of our sons & built a smaller home in a nice development near Canonsburg Dam (out route 19). It has a clubhouse, pool, tennis court etc. and we are enjoying it. I lunch with Sally Fellows O'Conner (deceased), Donna K. Simmonds Thomas and Ruth Jackson Coate (deceased). Ruth and I also play tennis together. I also am in a bowling league with Jeanine Howell Hershey. Bob and I are not Fla. people so we have taken many trips. We just came back from a Panama Canal Cruise that was great. It's too bad that we didn't get to know more of our classmates in school ---- then we wouldn't draw so many blanks on names. My best to all, Claire Hatch Moore

55th Reunion
Lou and Ruth, we haven't heard from you for 15 years! Our cutoff date for those "Lost / Gone" is 15 years, otherwise we would show 80%+ classmates still alive and that is not statistically possible. We would love to hear from you and would be very happy to move you guys back to the "Active" list. Bill <>< - January 2018 February 2003: Thanks for the information about the class web site. It’s hard to believe it will soon be 55 years since leaving high school. It’s sometime even harder for me too believe I’m still around. Ruth and I are looking forward to the upcoming reunion, although, I doubt that we’ll recognize many others there. As for my (our) activity over these years, I would have to say the most significant thing I have done is to have married my high school sweetheart (Ruth Labrenz, also class of 48 and also declared deceased in 2018) in 1952 and in bringing up three outstanding young sons. During this time, I spent twenty-one years in the military (both stateside and overseas) and an additional nineteen years as a civilian with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Several years prior to our retirement, we started building a home on the water in Reedville, VA. In 1991, we sold our home in Fairfax, VA, and moved here permanently. Health permitting, we still enjoy fishing and sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. Lou Hazel

From Bill Erdman, WebMaster: What a sad e-mail message from Mary Murrie Hardy today telling me that Kash Herron Hibler had died last Saturday the 12th of August, 2000. Sad because she died, sad because she is one of us, sad because of those she left behind, sad because the majority of us lost track of her after graduation and sad because I don't know what to say. I always had a soft spot in my heart for Kash, probably because of her red hair. My Dad was a red head and as it turned out our youngest son has red hair and his daughter, Grace, has red hair. But more than that, Kash was always pleasant to me in high school and I always meant to tell her that but never took the time. I guess I was waiting for her biographical information so I would have a reason to write back and thank her for her kindness. What a shame that we always seem to wait too long to tell people the good things about them. I plan to rectify that with some other people as soon as I upload this tribute to her. Thanks for the nice memories, Kash. Bill, August, 2000
In the Commencement program, he is listed as John H. Hewston. In national records search, there is only one listing for a John H. Hewston, in Miami. In SS Death Index, there is a listing for John Hewston b. 11/10/28 d. 12/ /83 in Miami, FL and a SS# issued in PA. In June 1948 he would be 19 1/2 yrs. old and this is possible if he were held back a year. There was no obit listed in the Miami Herald in 1983, so I have no confirmation on this one. Moved John from lost to deceased based on this. - Tom (deceased), July 2008

4 children, their spouses & 8 grandchildren At 50th Reunion From Bill Erdman, WebMaster: Death comes again in September, 1999. Today I moved Charlie Huff & Ed Bidden to this page. It was easier than saying "Good bye" to Mary-Francis as I knew her better than I knew Charlie or Ed. However, it still brought sadness into my day and another wake-up call to enjoy today and love and forgive everyone. If ever I said an unkind word or did an unkind thing to you, forgive me and understand it was from the ignorance of youth not malice. We are all unique in the sight of God - whoever you understand Him to be - and we are all loved by someone. Be nice to that someone today! Bill, September 1999
Chorus, GAA, Y-Teens In August of 2022 I sent out a blanket email trying to interest people in having a "Zoom Reunion." Nancy's email came back as "not-valid".

From Mt Lebanon Alumni Directory, October 2012: Nancy is an RN, from St Joseph’s Hospital School of Nursing and retired from Kane Nursing Home, Allegheny County.
