Bob's death was positively confirmed at the 65th reunion by several people


Bill, Don,  Age 30 would be too young for Bob's death.  We have photos of him at the 25th reunion in 1973 wearing a big McCarthy button when he would be 43, so he passed away sometime after that.   After being an attorney in Cleveland, he was an attorney for AT&T in NY and may have lived in NJ.   Bob is not listed in the SS Death Index but if wives assume the SS benefits after husband's death, the SS# remains active and the deceased not listed.   Everyone agrees Bob is gone, we just can't identify when he died.  Tom Arganbright – June 2008, 2 minutes later


Bill, Bob passed away when he was about 30 years old of a brain hemorrhage.  He was an attorney in Cleveland, Ohio.   I had lunch with him several times when I used to go into Cleveland.   I ran into his dad one day, and he told me about it.

Don Haus, June 2008


May 28, 2008 from Bud Stevenson Tom, on one of our reunions, way back (I can't remember which one), John Mitchell (Deceased) was working with me, and he was like your "Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons." (Or is that “Mr Lost, Tracer of Keen Persons”?)

When we got a hold of Bob Alderdice, he thanked John for calling, and Bob gave him a phone number to charge all the calls.   It was an AT&T free number.   I think he was with AT&T in New Jersey at the time.

Five years later, we called to get the free number from him, and we were told he passed away.

That's the last I heard of him.  I think maybe that was the reunion we had at the Hilton Airport. (Bob, which one was there? –Tom)

Thanks so much for your efforts on the reunion.  You've certainly made it much easier for us and less time consuming.

Regards, Bud Stevenson

P.S. I'm still working and Woeber is part time


You want to try to resolve the deep mystery of Bob Alderdice?   We have been carrying Bob Alderdice as deceased based on Roy Mc Ewen's note that he ran into him in 1965 at AT&T in NY and when calling back later was told he had died with no other information.   In our 1973, 25th Reunion brochure, we listed him as deceased in 1972.   But now let's look at the class photo as the centerfold in the brochure and standing in the back row between Schuette and Richardson is Bob Alderdice.   I wrote the copy below the photo and even mention Bob wearing a big McCarthy button.   Although it was 35 years ago, I seem to recall a conversation with him about being reported as dead and he said something like, "Do I look dead?"   I have now looked in SS Death Records and found 4 Robert Alderdices born in 1907, 1929, 1939 and 1950.   Only the 1929 could be of interest.  Our commencement program lists him as Robert John Alderdice.   I found the obit for the one born in 1929 and it was Robert James Alderdice, an architect who died in Orlando, FL in 1986.   I didn't find much in Google, but saw one story about a Pittsburgh Councilman named Robert J. Alderdice in 1926 who might be Bob's dad.   Bob was a formidable member of our class graduating with High Honors and becoming an attorney.  It sure would be nice to bring closure to this mystery.   I will continue to work on this one, but I'm not sure where to go next.   I don't even know if Bob got married. You'd think someone in our class would have kept up with him.   Bob Woeber, if you ever send another mass email to all alums, what about raising the question, has anyone seen Alderdice?

By Tom Arganbright, May 21, 2008


From Roy McEwen, February 2007:  Update on Bob Alderdice:  I ran into him at Western Electric Cafeteria in New York City in early 1965.  He was a lawyer and had been a partner in a Cleveland firm but had to give it up because of too much stress.  He had taken a job with ATT in the legal dept.  He was handling easements and rights of way in the city.  We met several times over the next few months. 

When I hadn't heard from him for several weeks, I called his office and got the news that he had died.  Whoever I talked to didn't know anything about him or wouldn't give me any more info.

Information found by Tom Arganbright, May 2008:  Joe August died January 18, 2005, in Gilbert, AZ

Joe passed away on January 18 2005 in a vets hospital near Mesa,AZ.  Joe was in the Marine Corps and was involved in Korea at the Chosen Reservoir. He suffered extreme frostbite which led to later problems.

From Bill Erdman, WebMaster:  Again it is a shame that I have no more information to give you about one of our classmates. All I know about Joe is what I learned in high school - He was quiet and friendly.  I can understand his Korean War problems - a lot of them went around then. Rest easy, Joe.

Irvin BachmannIrvin Bachmann
From his daughter, Anne, August 1999:

Update on me (Anne ), I still miss Dad terribly, but he would be very proud to call me Councilwoman, so if you didn't (who would) keep up on the election stats from May, I won the primary and am unopposed in the fall.

One question, is that bad or good?  I hope that in ten years Braddock will be once again a nice place to shop eat and live, we'll see....

Anne Biernacki
take care and God Bless


November 11th, 1998, Irwin Bachmann's Daughter, Anne Biernacki wrote:

Irvin Bachmann, as some may remember was stricken with polio in 1947.   He did graduate from Mt Lebanon through DT Watson rehab hospital.

He went on to Pitt for a 4yr in Business Management.  Over the period of the next 30 years he worked at Ted McWillams, McMinn Olds, and DeMor's Lincoln Mercury as General Office Manager.

Married to Joan Gerber in 1965 he settled in on Martin Ave in Mt Lebanon.

They adopted Anne Marie 1968 and Amy Joan in 1970.

Joan passed away of cancer in 1979, and he remained single.  He retired due to increased complications from post polio syndrome in 1984.

Gone on to Jesus in 1994.  He had spent the last ten years in bed, mostly reading and teaching Anne and her daughter all the neat stuff he knew and, most importantly, praying for everyone.

Grandchildren: Mandy, 1985, Brittany 1989, Aaron 1989 and one who he never met, Autumn, 1996.

I know it sounds depressing, but Dad KNEW there were many people MUCH worse off.  We never felt sorry, it's our cross.

I thank God for our faith and love, and I quote a neighbor of my father's who knew Dad since he was a boy, "I never in my life have met a man who wanted children as badly as (my) your father.  When you were adopted, you fulfilled a life long dream (of Irv's), to have children."

We didn't have health or money or travel, BUT far more importantly, we have intelligence, determination, love and appreciation.

I plan on putting the story of the "lifetime of love" he shared into a novel, basically because "What goes Around..."

Sincerely, Anne Bachmann Biernacki.

PS. If anyone that knew daddy in school has anything they'd like me to know, please e-mail me.  Thanks and always pray for everyone....

Anne Biernack sent $50 in memory of her father, Irvin.  

In her letter, she said, "Going through life without him is the single, hardest thing I deal with, for no person on this planet has ever or will ever give me the pure, unconditional love that Dad gave me.  I would like everyone to remember Dad as hardworking, dedicated, loving, husband and father, a gentleman in all aspects of the word, who taught his children all the graces of love by living it.  Wouldn't we all like to be remembered that way?"

40th ReunionHerb BaumHerbert Baum, Jr
September 28, 1996
Pittsburgh, PA

      40th Reunion


June 2008:  Deceased: HERB C. BAUM JR.
Date: October 1, 1996

Herb C. Baum Jr.'s work revolved around houses but his heart was outdoors.  His infectious laugh echoed across the ski slopes, the fishing hole and the hunting lodge.

And he was more than willing to share his enjoyment with friends and family members.  ''He didn't get a son, so (he) always tried to turn (his daughters) into hunters,'' said his eldest daughter, Kathryn Baum Philson of Mt. Lebanon.  ''We would go fishing and skiing with him, but we drew the line at going into the woods with a gun.  He had many 'adopted' sons who would go hunting with him.''

Herb, who was a mortgage counselor, real estate agent and certified appraiser, died of heart attack Saturday in his Mt. Lebanon home.  He was 66.  ''He was a surrogate father to me,'' said Greg Woodworth of Franklin Park.  ''He had three daughters, and his best friend had three sons, and I was one of the sons.  We would all hunt and fish together.  He was camp leader and chief cook and bottle washer.''

Both work and recreation were always a family affair for Herb.  He gained experience in the real estate business by working for his father's company, the H.C. Baum Agency.  He became president of the firm 22 years ago and moved the company from Downtown Pittsburgh to Mt. Lebanon in 1977.

Philson later joined her father's company as a real estate agent and certified appraiser.  Herb went into semi-retirement in 1995, but still remained active with the business.  An uncle taught Herb how to fish and hunt as a youth and he enjoyed the activities all his life.

When he was in his 20s, he and wife, Nancy, learned to ski on snow and water.  He brought along his daughters and later his grandchildren whenever possible.  When he wasn't pursuing these outdoor hobbies, Herb could be found tending his garden or cooking.  And often his interests converged.

He enjoyed cooking a big breakfast of hash browns, bacon and eggs over easy for his grandchildren before a day of winter skiing in the Laurel Highlands or water skiing at Conneaut Lake.   At his hunting camp at Medix Run, Elk County, he was often the one who whipped up dinner.  Though always tasty, the meal sometimes was as much an adventure as the hunt itself.

''We never knew what he was putting in the recipe,'' Woodworth said.  ''You could be eating venison and you'd swear it was filet mignon.  You didn't know unless you asked.''  Woodworth added that part of fun of hunting with Herb was playing practical jokes with him.  One running gag that he frequently fell for involved shaving cream in a cigarette lighter.

When he would awake for an early morning smoke, Herb would flick the lighter only to have shaving cream squirt all over him.  ''He was always good for laugh,'' Woodworth said.

Herb was a member of the Greater Pittsburgh Board of Realtors and the National Association of Independent Fee Appraisers.  He also was a past president of the Mt. Lebanon Lions Club and of the Mountain Club in Champion.  In addition to Philson, Herb is survived by his wife, Nancy; two other daughters, Susan Treacy of Conneaut Lake and Barbara of Mt. Lebanon; a brother James of Athens, Texas; and six grandchildren.


From Bill Erdman, WebMaster:  What a tribute to an obviously good man.  I'm glad to hear about his life in such detail.  It's a shame it was posted here 12 years after his death

Ed BiddenEdward M Bidden
Circa early 1999

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!

Gretel Braun 50th Reunion

Activities Play Usher Committee Chairman, Devotions Squad, Lantern, Rifle


March 2003:  First, I would like to inform you if you don't already know that Virginia Smalley Sweet died last September 2002.

Our life has been great - enjoying the amenities of Sun City Center, Fla.

Toured Holland, Germany and Belgium last January.  Health O.K. but slowing down.

Gretel and Bob Braun Barnes

Gretel's Biography - April 7, 2003:

Graduated from Rollins College, Winter park, Florida with a B.A. degree in 1952.

Married Bob Barnes in l952.  Have two children, Vicki and Diane, born Dec. 1953 and August 1958

Lived in Chicago, Tucson, and then lived in California for 30 years.  Worked 16 years in Orange County, California, as a Girl Scout professional. (District Director)

Retired with husband Bob in 1980

Since then lived in Paso Robles, Ca., Branson, Mo. and now Sun City Center, Fl.

Spent 2 1/2 years living in a fifth wheel traveling around the U.S. from 1990 to 1992.

Still happily married to Bob for over 50 years.

Gretel Braun Barnes

From Bill Erdman, WebMaster:  Some days just don't start out well.  This morning, before church I turned on my computer so a guest could use it while Kay and I taught Sunday School Class.  Simple e-mail from Bob Barnes - "Gretel died on December 30 2005."

It's 3:00 in the afternoon now and I'm still trying to digest the news.  I remember Gretel well.  She was a happy person to be around at a time in my life that wasn't always happy.  You remember, don't you?  High School was the pits then.  Compared to now however, it was a great time to be alive.  How times change and how we change. It's good to remember those that smiled with you and spoke kindly to you. Gretel was that type of classmate.

Sometimes we have regrets and one I have is that I never took the time to look Gretel and Bob up in Sun City - It's less than 2 hours from Maitland.  I just put if off.  Too easy to do.  Fortunately I can know a little about her from her April, 2003, note - "Happily married over 50 years, 2 daughters, traveled a lot and worked in a meaningful profession."

Thanks Gretel, for being a small part of my life.  I will miss your memory.
I love youI love you

Kay and I visited with Kathleen Doubleday on September 3rd.  She said Jad had died on the 25th of August while sitting at dinner with her.  He died suddenly and without pain or trauma.  I will provide a picture and more information alter.  I find it very difficult to write more than I have at this time. - Bill


August 14th - Talked with Kathleen tonight.  Jad is coming along well but is facing some time in rehab as he regains more and more strength and mobility.  He is broken-hearted that he will miss the Reunion. - Bill


Jad Doubleday had another stroke yesterday (August 9th) morning and is in the hospital. – August 2008 (From Bob)


Jad had a slight stroke in April of 2004.  I talked with him on the phone and he said he was doing very well.  Bill <><


From Bill Erdman, WebMaster:  As Jad and I went on to college at Lehigh together I was fortunate to to be able to interact with him longer than just High School.  Jad was just as outgoing and pleasant at Lehigh.  Over the year I was able to talk with him occasionally and see him at the 45th Reunion.  In High School he was nicknamed, "Twinkle Toes", for his running style.  Guys laughed at his small steps but no one could catch him!

It was my pleasure to talk with Kathleen a week after his death and to meet his son, James.  That was a very moving experience - Looking at James W was like jumping back 60 years and looking at Jad again!  The resemblance was breathtaking.

Jad, I miss you.

From Nancy Staggs, August 2007:  Joan and Jack had a very good marriage with five children to keep them busy, but with Joan's usual energy she also finished college, got her teaching degree, and taught in the county school system.  Most of her married life was spent in Baltimore.

Sadly, Joan died of lymphoma about 11 years ago. She faced that with courage and faith. I'm sure all of her friends miss her just as I do.  Nancy

The above list constitutes the names of classmates "A, B, C and D"  who are known by the Committee to have died or have been "Lost" for more than 10 years.  Considerable effort has been made by Bob Woeber and Tom Arganbright to locate all of our classmates.
