Just after the monsoon season in Pennsylvania, Joan writes:  Nothing to say and tired of all the rain and floods we have had.  I am one of the lucky ones – no problems caused by the weather or anything else for that matter.  Hope all is well with you.  Joan - September 2011

Joan writes:  I wish to contribute the fact that I have nothing of note to contribute!    My health is still good although my hearing is almost gone.   Fortunately for me, technology has kept up with my losses and I hear most of what I want to hear.   And thank goodness for “closed captioning.”    Joan – April 2011

I'm still around and planning to be for quite a while.  I keep busy with a project for the Franklin Institute which I can do on my home computer.  And I have finally gotten around to organizing my vacation photos from an Easter Island trip in 2006 and my 2nd trip to Antarctica in 2009.  It is not a good idea to wait so long to do this.  Memories tend to lose specifics.  Joan, May 2010

June 2008:  Hi.  This is my first entry to your information on-line.  I moved to Maryland in 1966 and lived there for 38 years.  Moved to Audubon, PA to be with my cousins.  Since I was born in Philadelphia most of my relatives (except my brother who lives in Vermont) live in the Philly area.  I have lived in Shannondell at Valley Forge for a little over 4 years.  No cooking!  No Cleaning!  What more could I want?  So that's it.  Joan

May 2008:  Joan Nichols.  I talked with her on the phone this afternoon.  She has lived in Shannondell Retirement home in Norristown, PA for 4 years.. Tom

July  2008 - Hi Bob Woeber, thanks for all the work in organizing the 60^th Mt Lebanon Class of 1948 Reunion.  My husband will not be able to attend but I will attend with (3) guests. . . my sisters.

60th Reunion:  

Myra, Kathy Mullen and Shirley Forbes @ 60th Reunion

Life has been good.  After High School I attended secretarial school then worked for Pennsylvania Railroad for 3 years.  Married an electrical engineer / reserve captain in the Marine Corp in 1953 and moved to Chicago.  Married 37 years and have 2 great sons, both electrical engineers and 4 grandchildren ‑ 1 a chemist, 1 a computer programmer, 1 in high school and one18mos old.  I married again in 1994 to a wonderful man, a metallurgist with a PhD and 4 grown sons, 1 a dentist and 3 electrical engineers.  On my husband's side 6 grandchildren ‑ 2 in college, 3 in high school and 1 in grade school.  We are proud of all of them.

My husband Jim and I are enjoying good health.  I have had my own interior design company while living in St. Louis.  Mission work has been an important part of my life by volunteering: I went to Louisiana two times after hurricane Katrina to gut houses, helped build homes for Habitat for Humanity, prepare and serve meals at a local soup kitchen, once a week volunteer to help a family with quadruplets ... makes me realize that we all need help sometime in our lives.

Looking forward to the Reunion!  Your classmate, Myra Ortolf Hancock

May 21, 2008:  Bob talked with her today.  Alive and well at 1150 Covered Bridge Road, Columbia, MO

Hi, everyone!  Wil and I plan to attend the Class of '48's 60th.  Before that  we are going to England in May and then to Boston to attend the 75th Annual Meeting of the Herb Society of America.  We're looking forward to seeing you all.  Ruth R.- February 2008

June 2003:  Ruth Osborne Rouleau and her husband Dr. Wilfred T. Rouleau toured England in May, visiting castles, cathedrals, and gardens.  They returned home on one of the last transatlantic crossings of the Queen Elizabeth 2.

January 6, 2003:  Here's a bit of what I've been up to recently:

I helped plan the 50th Class Reunion last October for my class of '52 from Carnegie Mellon University (Carnegie Tech in those days)  by serving on the Reunion Committee.   Our Class Correspondent is Dick Whitmore,  who is also a member of our Mt. Lebanon class.

In July of 2001 my husband, Wil, and I visited southern and southeast England with a group of six on a two-week tour of scientifically and archeologically significant sites that was sponsored by Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, of which Wil has been a long-time member.  It whet our appetite for travel in the British Isles, and we hope to return.  Ruth Osborne Rouleau

July 2008:   I talked with Anne on the phone today and this is what I gleaned from the conversation:  Following High School Anne went to Hood College, Fredrick, MD, for 2 years then to Carnegie Tech where she graduated.  Married Jim Troutman in 1953 and had 4 children - Kim (1 grandchild), twins Molly (3 grandchildren) and Alice (2 grandchildren) and Phillip.  Moved around a lot as her husband was in the military but settled in Darrien, CT.

Later she married Don Fair and remained in Darrien for about 12 years where she did some Market Research work until she moved to Bonita Springs, FL.  Anne lives by herself in a condo and has been active in various historical and community projects.

She sounded great and just as enthusiastic as I remember her.  She and Carol Davis are planning to come to the reunion.  Bill

Hi Bill,  Thanks for the update.   I assume that, though the yearbook has me as Barbara, you know I go by Ann and I have sent my money to Bob under Ann Pritchard Evanson.

The committee sure has worked hard and planned a wonderful weekend.   I'll be staying with Anne Mosites Miller along with some of the other widows.   Bill Miller will have a houseful of women to contend with.  We're really excited about the 60th and look forward to a great time.

Again, thanks Bill for keeping us informed.  Ann  ("Pritch")

From Mary Murrie Hardy, January 2007 - Hi Bill,  thought you might like to see this picture that was taken in October at Suzanne Divine Williams' place.  The lake in the background is right behind her daughter's house, and the good looking group are from left: Jeanne Vayda McCallum, Ann Bowman McClymonds, Mitzi Fantl Murphy, Nancy Godden, Anne Mosites Miller, Suzanne Divine Williams, and Ann Pritchard Evanson.  I took the picture.  We had a wonderful 4 days together in the New Jersey, Philadelphia area.  (Click on image to enlarge)

October 2005:  The first week of September the annual "DBC" reunion was held at my home in Lake Barrington, IL, a suburb of Chicago.  It was five days of talking and eating.  We spent two days in Chicago seeing the sights including the new Millenium Park (which is great fun and like no other park), the Architectural Boat Tour on the Chicago River (a must do) and a night on the town.  We told everyone that would listen who we were and that we had graduated from Mt. Lebanon High School in 1948.  We hope "they" were impressed!

This picture was taken after a long day of touring and shopping so we're a little worse for the wear.  Not bad, considering!  Seated: (L to R) Ann Bowman McClymonds, Suzanne Divine Williams, Peggy Crissman Funkhouser and Nancy Fleming Godden holding my Italian Greyhound, Misty.  Standing: (L to R) Jeanne Vayda McCallum, Anne Mosites Miller, Mary Murrie Hardy and Ann Pritchard Evanson.

Barbara Adams Norris sent this picture of the latest "DBC" reunion in Stone Harbor, NJ, July 7th, 2003. (See picture below)

Ann's Biography - August 2003: In 1950 I married Fred Valicenti (Mt.L'46) and lived in Mt. Lebanon and Upper St. Clair for 23 years until his sudden death in 1973. We had three children: Rick (b.) 1951, Barbara (b.) 1953 and Bill, (b.) 1960.  A wonderful life for those 23 years!  Always members of the reunion planning committees for both 1946 and 1948.  Fred was a custom home builder and real estate broker and seemingly we knew everyone in town.  It was great fun. Shortly after Fred's death our son Rick graduated from college, married and went on to graduate school.  The other two children and I moved to the North Shore of Chicago where I joined my sister in her interior design business.  My parents also moved from Mt. Lebanon to Lake Forest, Illinois at the same time. In 1977 I met and married my present husband, Cliff Evanson, who had been widowed in 1975.  Another wonderful life for me and it's now been 26 years! Cliff had his own consulting engineering firm, TAB Engineers.  During the 1980's he was national president of the American Consulting Engineers Council and the National Technical Services Association and is a life member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.  We were fortunate to visit all of our 50 states; some many times.  Through my work I have also held offices in national and international interior design associations.  We have lived in Highland Park, Lake Bluff and Glencoe, all on Chicago's North Shore. In 1991 we "retired" to Sea Pines, Hilton Head Island, SC, where we were very involved in community affairs.  After college and marriage the children and their children had all settled in Barrington Hills, Lake in the Hills and Crystal Lake, Illinois, respectively, all northwest suburbs of Chicago. Even though we enjoyed the resort living in South Carolina we felt the pull of family.  We returned north in 1997 to Lake Barrington Shores, a resort community too, but within fifteen to thirty minutes of all the children.  And again we are involved.  Cliff is president of our 120 unit condominium association.  There are a total of 1320 units here with a president of each 100 or so units.  18 holes of golf, tennis, pools and all the amenities and in Northern Illinois no less!  We play lots of bridge to keep our brains active and we walk the three miles around our lake to keep the bodies active.  Also, I am recent past-president of the Welcome Wagon Club of Barrington and continue to serve on their Board.  "Pritch"

60th Reunion

February 2008:  I was married in august 2 months after we graduated and was happy to be with my husband for over 57 years in which time we had 8 children 22 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.  John passed away in January 2006 up until that point we had a wonderful life with our large family we were truly blessed.  I still live in our family home  my son and his family are with me ,they have their quarters as do I.  John and I traveled a great deal after his retirement.  I now  have started again to travel, although it's not the same it is ok.  I look forward to the 60th as I went all the way through school in Mt Lebanon starting with kindergarten at Washington School.  I would be happy to help  if i can.  Joyce

LOUISE RANDALL  (Walsh)
P.O.Box 1225
Friendswood, TX  77549

Hello from hot hot Houston.  I have a new email address to report. Now that I have this spiffy Mt Lebanon High School Roster I feel like a part of the "old" (in the nicest sense of the word) family and do not want to be left out of any of the family news.   I am excited about the probability of visiting Mt. Lebanon on September 19th to attend the marriage of my younger daughter's daughter.  I have not been back home since 1984 when my mother died.  I think it is amazing that this granddaughter from Baltimore has fallen in love with a young man born and raised in Pittsburgh.  I am delighted.  The only thing that would make me happier would be if my darling husband could travel with me, but his health does not permit such an extended trip.  I will have to take a thousand pictures for him.   'Bye for now.  Louise Walsh – August 2009

Classmates of 48, my husband and I had looked forward to attending the reunion with joyful anticipation.   His recent illness  and extended stay in the hospital, however, have made our travels impossible.  We are both terribly disappointed.

Please say hello to everyone for me and let me know how the celebration went.   I want to stay "connected" and would love to receive a directory of people and their addresses, if possible.   I want to be able to communicate with written words if not by face to face contact.

Bill is now at home trying to recover from his heart and circulation problems.  Progress is very slow.  With much appreciation and warm regards, Louise Randall Walsh – August 2008

June 2008:  Tom, It has been such a joyful experience to visit with you and to feel reattached to those classmates of bygone days.  Thank you for your perseverance and resourcefulness in finding me.   You are a super sleuth.  I am looking forward to perusing the internet site to learn more about everybody. 

As for me, aside from growing old which I try to ignore, I have worked most of these years in an educational setting.   I retired for a month five years ago but missed working so much that I resumed work at a place a friend of mine discovered.  It sounded like a challenge!  It is many miles from our home in a school district that is very wealthy because of tax dollars from industry.   The location is near the Houston ship channel, the second or third largest ship channel in the U.S., so they say.   As you can imagine, the environment (and the kids) are very interesting.  This last year I have been located in one of the high schools.   The reason I mention this is because as I look back at our graduating class and then look at the 600 plus kids that just graduated from the school where I've been, ---well, words escape me.   A different world altogether.

As for me, nine days from today Bill and I will have been married 35 years.   We met at "Parents Without Partners" where we discovered that some of our kids already knew each other.   I have two daughters from my first marriage and he has four girls from his previous marriage.   They were all born between August 1953 and March 1959.   We have two sets of girls that were born 10 days apart, so it was rather like having two sets of twins.   I am happy to say that they are all married and all have dear children of their own.

And now, I best sign off which I do with a word of thanks to you and your team of '48 graduates.   I would love to attend the reunion, and hope that we can.   Bill has had heart problems that have brought about a slowing down in his activities.   I will keep you updated regarding our intentions.

With hugs all around, Louise Randall Walsh

June 2008:  Louise returned my call tonight and was excited that I had located her.   She gave me her email address,. She said her mail address is PO Box 1225, Friendswood, TX 77549 so use this in the roster, not the street address I sent you. The phone is correct at 281-482-6434.   I said you would email her an invitation and she sounded like she might consider coming.   Like you, she said she was still working but I didn't ask what she does.   She sounded great and said they have lived there in their house there for 34 years.   I emailed her the website so she's looking forward to seeing it as she was unaware of it.  - Tom

June 2008:  BINGO!   Here is Edgar Mitchell's reply regarding his former wife, Louise Randall.  I looked her up on People Search and she is listed as age 77 with names of Louise Elizabeth Walsh and Louise Randall Walsh.  He husband is listed as William C. Walsh.  I called her, but unfortunately got an answer machine and left my phone number.  At least I have found her.   Bill, in the meantime, you can move her from Lost to Alive and well in Friendswood, TX with her current married name.  - Tom

November 2011:  Hi all...I seem to have been traveling a lot...To England in 2009, seeing beautiful English Gardens, with a week in London where daughter Jenny and I saw Prince William "up close and personal."  Then a lo-o-ng road trip in 2010 visiting Niagara Falls, the Cleveland Rock and Roll Museum, Chicago highlights, Wisconsin Dells and Frank LLoyd Wrights "Taliesin," all kinds of touristy spots in South Dakota...then to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons...and finally to Portland, Oregon, for a grandson's wedding.  And in there somewhere, we visited the house I grew up in, in Cleveland, Ohio.  There was a Fall 2010 wedding north of Pittsburgh and a summer 2011 wedding in Colorado Springs, followed by trips to Portland and Seattle, Washington.   For that trip, I came back by train...a favorite way to travel. Then later this summer, lots of family to our cottage in New Hampshire, where we celebrated a grandson's birthday with a hurricane.  Now back to real life, in Oswego, New York.  For a while...............Cheers...Nancy Linn.

November 2010:  Hy all...It's back to real life in Oswego, after a great couple of road trips this summer.  The first...visiting national parks and monuments and fun tourist attractions across this beautiful country of ours, on the way to a grandson's wedding in Portland, Oregon.  And the second, last month driving to Pittsburgh (the first time in years) for yet another wedding.  I had almost forgotten how grand a view of the city can be had from the top of Mount Washington.  Or how bewildering driving can be getting from place to place!.  Lovely trips, both.  My best to all...Nancy.

June 2008: Hy Bill...The last address I had for Carol (Davis) Owens is:  27A Scarborough Lane, Wappingers Falls, NY 12590

We've been exchanging Christmas cards, and I did not receive one from Carol this year, although mine was not returned.  This does happen....

And thank you for the invitation to the 60th (would you believe?) reunion.  I won't be there, as I'll be in New Hampshire then...but I certainly will be thinking of you.  I do enjoy the bits of news of classmates that you continue to send.

News?  My husband, Chuck, died last fall.  Almost 53 years married, and he's sorely missed.  I did take a wonderful trip to Italy this Spring, with three daughters.  The trip...to Venice, Florence and Rome, and some in-between cities...was all too short.

I'll hope to hear news from the reunion.  My best to all...Nancy (Rankin) Linn

February 2007: I just finished reading the latest email about fellow classmates from Mt. Lebanon.

I knew all three of the Schwartz ladies...special people all.  I particularly knew Tudy and Jenny..(Florence and Jane Ewing).  Jenny was such a talented piano player.  I was told that she was active in the Christian Science Church.

Carol Davis Owens and I enjoyed a "reunion" lunch in Syracuse, NY, over a year ago. Carol has since moved to eastern New York.  And I hope she has missed the snow that we've had in Oswego County.  We have a lotta snow!

But the snow has sent us many emails and phone calls from family and friends, with a long call from our matron-of-honor, Shirley Johnson Rogers.  She called from the Cleveland, Ohio, area...and since that is also a "lake effect snow" region, guess we've "won" for this year.  Nancy Rankin Linn

Hy Bill...and thank you for the special pictures and greeting.  I so enjoy your Mt. Lebanon web-site and information.

Carol Davis Owens and I had a lovely lunch / get-together in Syracuse in October, and had fun sharing old photos and memories.  We both live in central New York, but this is the first time to visit.  I've also had good phone calls and emails from friend Shirley Johnson Rogers.  And all this because of your Internet site.

Our wishes to you and yours for a special Holiday Season.  Nancy Rankin Linn.  – December 2005

June 2004:  Hy Bill...I do so enjoy reading about Class news, and you'll be pleased to know I've resumed correspondence with classmate and Matron-of-Honor Shirley Johnson Rogers through your web-site.

There's not a whole lot new...we braved yet another wild and snowy Upstate New York winter in Oswego.

Chuck and I expect summer company from daughters, husbands and grandsons...and will travel to our New Hampshire cottage in August.  I did have a grand reunion with cousins that I grew up with in Cleveland, Ohio, in Tampa, Florida, this spring.

I am having my "fifteen minutes of fame" and the enclosed photo (click to enlarge) is shown with a quilt I designed and made, "Colors of My Life," which is published in the June / July issue #8 of QuiltWorks Today.  They mistakenly called our quilting group the "Sunbelt Quilters," instead of the real name of "Snobelt Quilters."  Must have been wishful thinking!  Best...Nancy Linn

August 2003:  Hy Bill...and thank you so much for the wonderful web site.   I've enjoyed learning about old friends, and still have many more names to check. 

This has been an unusually busy summer, but one of these days I'll send a longer update.  My husband, Chuck, and I celebrated a 50th Anniversary this past Fall, and enjoy visits from our five offspring, with husbands / wives / eight grandsons. 

We've lived in Oswego, New York, for 38 years...cold and snowy winters, but beautiful summers on Lake Ontario.

Chuck is a retired college teacher (SUNY Oswego), and I've been making quilts for some 30  years.   Nancy (Rankin) Linn

Paul and Jan @ 60th Reunion

August 2010 - Now I have reached the 'magic' age also.  Still fairly healthy but don't see or hear as well as I'd like.  Planning to return to AZ this Nov.  Love to see anyone that visits Phoenix this Winter. - Paul

We are leaving our winter home in Fountain Hills, AZ on May 2.  I have some aches & pains but still trying to play golf.  Have enjoyed a great winter.  Hope all is well with all of you!! - April 2010

Janet and I are about to return to Minnesota from Arizona.  I've had an operation on my legs and am walking somewhat better.  Loved seeing everyone at the 60th.  Will try like mad to make the 65th - Paul, May 2009

February 2008 - Right now I plan to attend with my new wife, Janet.  Paul

August 2006:  My first wife of 50+ years died in early 2004 after a long illness.  I met Janet in August of 2004 and married her in May of 2005.  We live in Fountain Hills AZ 6 months and Maple Grove MN 6 months.  

Have traveled to France & Italy -- New Zealand and Australia since we got hitched.  Planning trip to Vienna this fall.  Janet has 4 kids so we have 5 around us and I have one in Salem, OR.  

Am going to try hard to make the 60th.  Best regards to all.  Paul C. Rhodes

Yes, Martha and I were married on Sept 9, 1953.  Another Harvard guy.  Incidentally Martha is still in a nursing home here.  She's very gradually getting worse.  - In response to Igor Alexeff's 50th wedding celebration notice - March 2004

November 2003:  We would have liked to come to the 55th.  However, Martha has either been in a nursing facility or hospital since July 29th.  She has brain cancer and it's robbing her of her mind.  I go to the facility every day.

My brother and I went to AZ where Martha and I have a home.  We brought all the stuff back and are renting it this winter.  Martha's outlook is muddied but she needs more help than I can give her alone.  You may not know but Dave Lucas also has a rare disease, but his outlook is better than Martha's. 

I wish you all a very happy and healthy holiday season and a great New Year.  My plans are on hold for a while.  Paul

July 2003:  Bill: We are not going to make it this year. Martha has gotten much worse and I have prostate cancer and am going to need Knee surgery.  Love to be
there ---- maybe next time.  Paul C. Rhodes

I would like to come to the 55th.  My problem is that my wife has a brain tumor and shouldn't be left alone very long.  She has told me to go to it, but has other stuff wrong also.  If I can find someone to stay with her I'll come.  Right now we're in Fountain Hills, AZ.  We plan to return to the Twin Cities in May.  Regards, Paul Rhodes, February 2003

June, 2001  Congratulations on finding Herb Kindle!!! (Now deceased - January 2007)  Please send me his E-mail or snail mail address.

We had an uneventful fall and winter.  We went to Arizona in January and stayed until April.  We opted out of the super cold and snow in Minnesota.  Martha had a problem with her lungs but everything worked out OK with her biopsy.  

We stopped in Santa Fe, NM on the way home from Arizona and remained there longer than planned.  I had an acute gall bladder attack and had to call 911.  Seven days later I left the hospital minus the gall bladder but with a serious case of atrial fibrillation.  

We cancelled a trip to St. Petersburg, Russia, because of the ill health.  We are planning to take a trip to Lake Louise and what have you in the late summer with the kids and grandkids.  Am still playing golf, but alas nowhere near as well as bygone days.  Paul & Martha Rhodes 

August, 2000:  We went to Rome and Florence last summer and did all the tourist things.  We saw Capri, Naples, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. 

Martha had her 50th high school reunion in September of 1999.  They looked as old as we did!  

We went on a cruise to Australia and New Zealand and enjoyed it.  We would recommend it to everyone. 

We spent the winter in Fountain Hills, AZ .  Paul enjoys playing golf and swimming.  Martha goes swimming and catches up with the movies.  We have some relatives there also.  Our health is fair and hope to make the 55th.  Paul and Martha Rhode

50 Reunion

60th Reunion

November 2011 - Hi, Bill- Thanks for your continued effort to keep us together as a class.   No big news - most of it medical.   I had one day this summer my back didn't hurt, and I shot my age (80).   Otherwise, my golf wasn't pretty, except that I still could play, although  not at a level I enjoyed.   Hope all well with you - the  web site has become ever more imp't to those of us from MtL '48, and I'm sure the others appreciate that as much as I do.   Stay well and enjoy the holidays.  Bob Rink

August 2010:  Thanks, Bill, for another '48 update - you really serve us all so well.  I'm doing well - remarried 3 years ago last week after losing Ginny in 1/06.  Keep busy with church and golf.   Handicap has gone from 9 to 19, a somewhat unpleasant trip, but still have the occasional good round - an 83 two weeks ago, just 4 shots over my age.   The computer wouldn't believe me when I entered the score for handicap purposes.   Stay well and thanks again for all you do to keep us together as THE Class of '48.   Bob Rink

February 2008:  Thanks for your diligence, Bob and Bill.  Hope to see you in August.

June 2006 - Thanks for keeping us in touch.  My info not good - my wife of almost 53 years,  Ginny Saunders (Class of '49), died in January while we were wintering in Phoenix.  I am afloat, but without rudder or sails.  Bob Rink

 Betty Jean & husband     

June 2008:  Betty Jean Robb (Wilt).   I just spoke with her on the phone and she and Paul are still alive, but in total retirement and they don't travel anymore so can't expect her at the reunion.   I said Bob would mail her an invitation anyway.  

Paul does the computer, and she said, say Hi to Mr Woeber.    So we can move her back among the living.  Tom
