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.

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. -

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 thirty years.

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.

S. Richardson
checking in with some bio info which should take me off the guilt trip you
have had me on for the last year.
I attended Purdue for most of my engineering (Civil) education but my degree
is from Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie-Mellon University). A year long
bout with cancer came in between and it was a slow process getting back on
my feet and I ended up with my father's engineering firm where I remained
for all of my career. Our firm's primary business was bridge design
and in 1985 we were acquired by the international architectural /
engineering firm of HDR of Omaha. I retired in July of 1989.
Married
Betty Armstrong
of Forest Hills, L.I. in August of 1953 and
Betty
passed away of cancer in January of 1972 when our children were 8, 10, and
14.
Remarried in July of 1973 when I did the greatest sales job of my life to
Peggie Purcell
of Pittsburgh and our marriage has been blessed with two children.
The children are somewhat scattered although
Kathy
the oldest lives here with husband,
Rick, a V.P. with National City Bank, and their two sons who are 8 and
11.
Kevin
lives in Charlotte where he is General Manager of the Ryerson Steel plant.
He and wife
Kathy
have a daughter 4 and a son 1.
Sue
lives in Orlando where she is the counselor at Reedy Creek Elem. School in
Kissimmee.
Son
Mark
is also in Charlotte where he is the Mgr. of Cutter's Cigar Bar in the
Marriott City Center Hotel.
Kirstin
is now a freshman at Indiana University in Bloomington which means there are
no children rattling around the house for the first time in 42 years.
Now that we are empty nesters we expect to do some traveling although we
both have mothers to worry about. |

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

we can move her back among the living.
