My wife Barbara and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary last year.  We traveled to Italy for a Mediterranean cruise.  Also spent several weeks in Hawaii.  We live in a golf and country club community here.  We have been here for over 15 years.

On Sept. 6th, 17 classmates got together for lunch at the TAT. It was a great time. Alan Merkle was there from Arizona and Millie Tilbrook Lewis and Wanda Price Stygler were there from Florida. We all enjoyed it so much that we plan to make it a yearly event. Anyone who is interested in joining us, please contact me and I will make sure that you are informed when the date is chosen. Also in attendance: Carolyn Cooper Anderson, Jim Bergman, Larry Bright, Lois Carsey DiNucci, Carole Schwartz Elkins, Preston Gurwin, Rick Marsh, Barbara Hayden Mecozzi, Bob Medors, Ann Wisterman Metz, Larry Metz, Dorothea Haaf Seitz and Nancy Miller Webster.
 

After living in Ft. Myers for 30 years, I have moved to central Florida.  Jack passed away 3 years ago and two of my five kids are here.  They persuaded me to move closer to them (I think they want to keep an eye on me!).  Wanda Stygler lives 3 blocks away and encouraged me to move here – so many activities.  I’m juggling working & fun stuff!!
 

While in Florida this past winter, we spent a few days with Larry McLaughlin ’54 and his wife, Barb (a classmate of mine from Capital University).  Bob Doak ’55 and his wife, Barb joined us for dinner one evening.  We had a great time looking at the pictures of our respective 50th class reunions.  A week later I was in Ft. Myers and had lunch with Millie Tillbrook Lewis ’54.  Millie is doing well after a difficult last 2 years.  Then it was on to Leesburg where I spent 3 weeks with Wanda Price Stygler ’54 and, believe it or not, we are still speaking after all those weeks together.  It was wonderful seeing all those Bexley grads . . .  almost made me feel young again.
 

On 9-22-05 I presented a paper to an international meeting of physicists at Kapalua, Hawaii, on the island of Maui.  The talk covered my work with Dr. Edward Teller on the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) or “Star Wars” and an earlier paper on x-ray lasers sponsored by Dr. Arthur Schawlow of Stanford University, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1981.  I have the opportunity to visit with Carol Foresman Burdick from time to time.  Carol, also class of 1954, has been a long-time resident on Maui.
