RUTH GILSON NYCUM only went through<br />
6th standard at WS, but has many memories<br />
of the time there. She has 4 children. She was<br />
a librarian at CSU Fullerton for 17 yrs. At<br />
age 85, Ruth now lives in an Assisted Living<br />
Facility, Oakmont of Chino Hills CA. She<br />
has physical problems, but her mind is clear<br />
& she does many things on her computer<br />
as secretary of the Resident Council & for<br />
the Emeriti of CSUF. STAN & BEVERLY<br />
BRUSH are deep into the Pharmaceutical<br />
Stage with her doing better than he is; driver<br />
has been added to her other duties. Stan has<br />
finished the 1st draft of his Pakistan memoir<br />
of teen years at Forman College in Lahore<br />
in the 50s & 60s. Both fondly remember a<br />
visit from BRUCE FOSTER & his daughter<br />
last yr. They recently had lunch with JANE<br />
WALLBROWN ’52 & a mutual friend at<br />
Medford Leas NJ. Great time reminiscing.<br />
MARJORIE HILL has continued to be active<br />
in India right up to the present. She was honored<br />
by the Nat’l UCC meeting last spring,<br />
for significant leadership & service over her<br />
whole life in support of women & children<br />
in the mission field in Madhya Pradesh &<br />
Chattisgarh. BETTY STUNTZ ALLEN is<br />
now on the Resident Council of her Retirement<br />
Community & has attended her 2nd<br />
statewide meeting of ConCCRA (Continuing<br />
Care Residents’ Assoc. of CT). Lots of good<br />
discussion & ideas for deepening & improving<br />
relationships in each community. Weekly<br />
meetings of the Singing Group, the Writing<br />
Group, a Scrabble gang, monthly meetings<br />
of the Council & 2 Missions Committees &<br />
the State Board of Church Women United -<br />
now Historian & Subscription Secretary for<br />
the CWU Newsletter - keep me hopping. I<br />
enjoy them all, but have decided not to renew<br />
my 2 CWU jobs, which run out in Dec.<br />
With son Ken & Peggy here in Cheshire &<br />
their youngest Jonny now at Yale <strong>School</strong> of<br />
Music, I have already been to 2 superb concerts<br />
in Woolsey Hall, plus many concerts<br />
in the new auditorium in our Center. No<br />
shortage of entertainment! Every once in a<br />
while I see PEGGY ALLISON, here or at<br />
their church. A couple of times I have seen<br />
their sons - who look just like Les! Smile &<br />
all. Peggy lives in a similar retirement community<br />
a few miles from here in Hamden,<br />
CT. BILL & DOROTHY VAUGH WHIT-<br />
COMB live at Oakwood Village, a Lutheran<br />
retirement community in Madison WI. Bill<br />
is now having trouble getting around as his<br />
legs and hands are getting very numb, from<br />
severe neuropathy. He spends much time in<br />
our workshop making many furniture items<br />
for our church, the YMCA, our own use &<br />
for our institution and residents. I work in<br />

the library at church & here at Oakwood, in<br />
charge of archives at both places. I took the<br />
Master Gardener course some yrs ago so I am<br />
chair of our Grounds committee regarding<br />
the gardens on campus & the vegetable plots<br />
residents have in the summer. Our 4 children,<br />
all WS alumni, live nearby. It is a delight<br />
for the class to be in touch with MUSHIR<br />
HASAN RAZWI who was in our class in<br />
Standards 3-6. He now lives in Germany,<br />
remembers quite a few of the classmates &<br />
some remember him too. Communications<br />
are by email, through his daughter.—Dorothy<br />

We were shocked to hear last winter that<br />
BOB ALTER had a recurrence of cancer,<br />
nothing further could be done. He & Ellen<br />
returned to WS for 2 weeks in the spring &<br />
BOB joined the angels in Jun. Our sympathy<br />
& love to ELLEN. Great remembrances of<br />
him at WS memorial service & WOSA-NA in<br />
Fort Collins. Patricia & MARTIN AHRENS<br />

ICKA, ‘33. Next spring BERT BENADE is<br />
probably going to Forman’s 150th anniversary<br />
celebration, his father taught physics<br />
there. He took a 5 day railroad trip with a<br />
great-great grandson of the Forman founder.<br />
BERT is working on oral history of people<br />
who live in neighborhood for Hyde Park<br />
Hist. Soc. PAUL COOLE was our only<br />
representative at WOSA reunion, the oldest<br />
class there. His blood circulation problems<br />
& wheelchair didn’t keep him from attending.<br />
DES HOLLINGBERY is not traveling<br />
much because Marj is unable to go along. To<br />
keep in shape, he’s covering several miles<br />
per week as well as gardening. Has been<br />
one of our most regular attendees of WOSA<br />
reunions & misses them badly. Jeanne &<br />
HUGH MUMBY have joined their bionic<br />
classmates (STEVE, MARY & TOM) with<br />
replacement hip & knee, respectively. This
