Finding myself back home in Philly in ’65 I got a job and then enlisted in the First City Troop. As the Troop was part of PA’s National Guard, I was shipped to Fort Jackson, SC for 6-months’ basic and advanced training, returning to Philadelphia in the spring of ’66 as a weekend warrior with a 6 year enlistment. I landed a job in center city selling TV and radio commercial broadcast time and moved into a pad in Bryn Mawr with two other troopers.

What are your favorite Haverford memories? This is a tough one. Almost an oxymoron. Favorite/ Haverford/Memories. Let’s see. I know it wasn’t 105 lb. football. And it wasn’t Mr. Eddy’s German class. We had, I thought, a number of dedicated and effective teachers. The Canadian Island Get-A-Way most memorable to me in that category were Parsons, Dutill, Powell, Rugg, Brownlow and Jameson. There were others, of course. Although not terribly skilled, I enjoyed playing squash and played pretty steadily for about 25 years after Haverford.

Thoughts on retirement, aging, and your future plans? Wow. Another hard one. I have just taken the plunge on retirement without any clear plan. I’ve assumed that it would “unfold” over time. We’ll see. Many of my contemporaries are reluctant to retire and have only distain for the idea. My own view is that it is important for our generation to “get out of the way” and let those behind us (chronologically) have a chance. That surely isn’t an issue in many fields, but it is one at law firms. My decision to hang it up was reinforced, to some degree, by the sudden death of a close friend who was told, just shortly before a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, that he was in perfect health. Frankly, I never loved my work quite enough to want to die at my desk. There must be something more, and I aim to find out what it is. At the present moment, I dread neither the aging process nor my ultimate demise. We are all here for a time and a purpose and forces beyond us will decide how we age and when we die. We can take steps to get the most enjoyment Cribbage in the Bob Marshall Wilderness out of our time remaining-and I intend to try-but the final call is, perhaps thankfully, out of our hands. For me, if I can read .001% of the books that I have wanted at various times to read and perhaps make the lives of a few others a bit happier, I will be completely satisfied.

Thoughts on retirement, aging, and your future plans? : I’m not “old” or getting “old.” I’m “older” and getting “older” but have been doing that for the last 67 years. I’m a firm believer in Zeno’s First Paradox of Motion – if I go half way “there” with each step, I’ll never get there. Since the middle is half way between where I am today and where I may be when I die, I’m not yet “middle aged” -- I’ll never get there! Or as Chris Smither puts it in Leave The Light On: “The race we’re running now is never ending, ‘cause space and time are bending. There’s no finish line.” A couple of years ago, pedaling along a beautiful back road out near Unionville in Chester County, Sheryl and I met an 85-year old man on a bike ride who had 5 miles left to complete his Century (100 miles) for the day. Just recently, a 102 man in Italy rode 16.7 miles in an hour. Bottom line – I’ve got a long way to go. Still not entirely sure what I’ll do when the folks at Drinker (or my clients) say they don’t want me around anymore. Just have to wait and see ... maybe do a little planning.

What experiences and/or events have shaped your life? Rowing at Haverford changed just about everything for me from that time forward. Increased self confidence, better grades, college recruit, etc. I rowed competitively for 14 years.

What activities are you involved in? Outside of my investment business, I have been dedicated to trying to figure out how to crack the code of urban poverty and the education challenges it presents. To me the issues of multigenerational poverty in the urban centers of the US are our most important social concerns.

What are your favorite Haverford memories? Rowing. The Dave Brubeck Band. Physics. Mr. Campbell’s creative writing class.

Thoughts on retirement, aging, and your future plans? I do not believe that retirement is a good idea for most people. Neither is aging but we can’t do anything about that. I plan to keep working in the investments business and to give back as much as possible to those who need help.

George Chandler passed away in 2006. He was an integral member of the undefeated 1963 Inter-Ac champion soccer team and another all-around great guy. George was greatly interested in music. He was a member of the Three Fours singing group and later in life managed a band and home recording studio at his farm in Exton. If you don’t remember that our class party was held at his farm the night before graduation, you are forgiven. Very little of that night is still remembered, and not a few graduates appeared well under the weather the next morning. George loved music and worked in New York in his mid 20’s as a recording engineer, eventually returning to the ancestral home in Exton in the mid 70’s, where he built a recording studio in the barn. He advised many a group there and gave them positive direction as a producer with a good “ear”. It is unknown whether the studio was ever profitable, but it was a great gathering place for creative musicians to “hang out”, memorialize their talent and chase their dreams. I was privileged to be a small part of it all. George had a long time lady friend who ran her catering business from the huge country kitchen of the main house for an extended period. They went their separate ways for a few years, but when George got seriously sick in early 2000, she came back and took care of him. In a final act of incredible style, grace and class, George called in a minister just before he died, and married his lady so she would inherit whatever was left of his portion of the family estate. Now that is an act of a true Haverford gentleman, a lover of life and an “apprecianato” of music whose personal generosity and soaring spirit was wonderful to behold, incredible to share and an example to us all. He is fondly remembered and sorely missed.

May the music forever brush the dust from your soul old friend.

21 Roger Cleaveland YEARS AT HAVERFORD: 9—12

After I left Haverford, I went to college in Virginia for two years , then Nebraska for three more. I’m ashamed to say it was a tremendous waste of time and my parent’s money because I did it for my parents , not myself and really didn’t apply myself correctly. After college I was drafted into the Army in the notorious Summer of ’69. With the help of The American Friends Committee (Quakers), I was able to obtain a Non-combatant Conscientious Objector’s status which, at that time , was the only way I felt that I could go into the Army, and not Canada or prison. I was made a Medic as were over 90% of the COs in the military and that ( unforeseen at the time) decided my future career direction more than anything else.When I got out after two years, I worked as a Syphilis (field) Epidemiologist for the PA Health Dept. in Montgomery and Bucks counties for the next two and a half years. Interesting gig.I got pretty good at drawing blood on the street.Still searching for something but I didn’t know what; I quit in 1974, gave away most of my worldly possessions, built a little living space in the back of my van, and with 10,000 bucks in the bank that my Great Aunt had left me , I hit the road to find whatever it was I was looking for---peace or purpose.For the next four years I drove all over the US, Canada , and Mexico working here and there trying to make my grub stake last..I lived for a time in the Florida Keys, Southern Calif., and San Miguel de Allende in Central Mexico. I got into Hangliding in a big way in the mid- 70s, and Southern Cal was where it was happening back then. I taught , sold gliders, and competed. To make a long story short, in 1977 I married a Mexican woman with three kids who had picked me up out of the gutter , brushed me off,and given me a reason to keep it together. After having a couple of sobering near death experiences flying , I quit Hangliding, and my pregnant wife and three kids, and I headed for Texas.I drove a school bus part time while going to a local Community college to bring up my GPA, then transferred to University of Texas the IV specialist for the whole hospital for the last two years. and (thank God for the GI Bill), graduated with a BSN in We had two more children , three grandchildren, and are Registered Nursing in 1980. I did well this time around in expecting another grandchild this June 2014. We retired in college because it was something I had decided to do myself, 2011, and live simply and humbly in the Texas Hill Country. and I had a lot of people depending on me.I spent the next I like gardening, taking care of my chickens, fishing ,hiking, thirty years as a RN in a big hospital in Austin Texas, and I treasure hunting, hitting garage sales every Saturday , and my worked in most of the different departments, finishing up as wife’s Mexican cooking.

With all his mastery of science, mechanical challenges were often the start of comic relief for Pat. Who tries to put water in an air cooled engine? That episode almost spelled the end to his first car, a Corvair.

23 Gregory M. Cowan Remembrances from Greg’s wife Barbara YEARS AT HAVERFORD: 4—12

Greg and I met in the spring of 1970 - we were actually introduced by our parents (my father was president of the Princeton Club of New Haven and Greg’s was vice- president). At that time, he was a student at Columbia Business School, working on his MBA. When we were married in February 1973, he had parlayed his work as a staff accountant at Price Waterhouse in New York into a fellowship opportunity through the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy at Tufts - he was working in Bogota for the Price Waterhouse office there and teaching accounting at Universidad de los Andes (making use of all those years of Spanish study and his Spanish college major!). Greg returned to New York in December 1973 and to full time work with Price Waterhouse. Our first son (Miles) was born in October 1975. Greg spent the summer of 1976 working for a Price Waterhouse client in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and, upon his return, left Price Waterhouse to join the Brazil/River Plate Group in the International Banking Group at Bankers Trust. Our second son (Fletcher) was born in September 1978, and we moved to Key Biscayne FL, since Greg had accepted a transfer to Miami to become deputy head of the new office Bankers Trust had opened to focus on Latin American clients. I was his wife of six years when he died in March 1979. Our boys were then 3 1/2 and 6 months old, so only our elder, Miles, has any memories of him. Our younger son, Fletcher, knows him only through pictures and stories. Gregory’s musical interest and talent has continued to thrive in Miles, who graduated from The Juilliard School as a double bass performance major. While he has since changed careers and is now an attorney, I see much of his father in him in his way of carrying and holding himself. Those who knew Gregory as a boy and young man recognize that and I’m sure you would as well. Miles is now a father himself, with a six month old son named Gregory Miles after his grandfather, an absolutely beautiful and rambunctious grandson. We all so much appreciate that you found a way to remember your friendship with Gregory by thinking of Haverford.

To put it mildly, I hated it. I begged my parents to had more to do with that than I could have ever imagined. change their minds and send me to Conestoga H.S. so I could live and breathe again. Much to my dismay my parents were unmoved. Then a totally unexpected thing happened. Almost without realizing it, I started hating it less and less as the year unfolded. I developed some great friendships with Roger Cleaveland, Pete Sprague, Steve Phillips, Robby Keay, and other classmates. And I found myself enjoying engaging classes like Algebra with Ewing, Biology with Rugg, and Ancient History with Maenak. And, significantly, I discovered that the long train commute wasn’t really all that bad as it also served the same function for students at Shipley, Baldwin, and Agnes Irwin. My first year at Haverford was a feat of mere survival. But, I can say looking back on it now it was perhaps the single most pivotal year of my life. It shocked me into a whole new world of rising expectations and broadening horizons. In short it did exactly what my parents wanted. It prepared me not only for college, but in many ways for the rest of my life. The first time I think I really appreciated what Haverford did for me was my freshman year at Colgate. While many of my classmates struggled making the adjustment from high school to college, I didn’t. I was prepared for the rigorous courses, term papers, blue books, and everything else that year and realized I owed that preparation to all my experiences over the preceding four years at Haverford. From Colgate I went on to graduate work at the University of Delaware and the University of Pennsylvania, and from there to a wonderfully stimulating and rewarding 40 year career in educational publishing, retiring as head of the Great Source supplemental publishing division of Houghton Mifflin. I am now doing some occasional independent consulting work in the educational publishing industry. But mostly I am enjoying time with my loving and amazingly talented wife Mimi, and with my equally amazing multi-tasking daughter/ Baldwin grad/lax coach/mother-of-3 Jessica and her hardworking/ successful/Ironman competitor husband Ed. And, most of all I am thankful for every minute I spend with my adorable grand-girls Kate, Lauren, and newest arrival Erin.

There was Neil Buckley, Ken Kingham, Joe Tata and so many other extraordinary teachers. But my favorite was Jim Barker, the crew coach. I only rowed at Haverford in my ninth and tenth grade years, but in those two years he gave me the life skills I used when I had to dig deep when the going got tough in sports and school and later in business -- skills that I believe I’ve passed leftist pundits and progressive politicians have forgotten on to my family. the inspiring words of JFK at his inauguration that cold January day in 1961 with Ike sitting just behind. “Ask not Thoughts on retirement, aging, and your future plans? what your country can do for you.

“When the story left off, we were graduating from Haverford in late spring 1964. I went on to Harvard, majoring in English (with an undergraduate thesis on Shakespeare) and minoring in antiwar protest. I was better at the first than the second, alas. Instead of going on to graduate school in English at Harvard, I married and the two of us moved to New York, where we entered the master’s program in English and comparative literature at Columbia. I had the great good fortune to study with Martin Meisel and Edward Said, who showed each week in his seminar on 20th century criticism that erudition was not incompatible with thought. After earning an M.A. in June 1969, I stumbled across a position as production editor (aka typesetter) at The New York Review of Books, a place with many intellectual currents flowing across a spectrum of academic and political interests, with powerful connections to the world of publishing as it was then. A heady mix! Meanwhile, my marriage was breaking up for mundane reasons not worth describing here, and deciding to switch fields, I applied to the Ph.D. program in linguistics at M.I.T. This turned out to be very lucky: first, my application was Dick Oehrle, Key Man ’64 accepted (with generous support) and second, the experience was positively transformative.

Like the Greeks, we sometimes glimpsed the foibles of our gods, which we enshrined in our own pantheon of names: Chopper and Bart and Thumper and Herbie … yet, I hope they felt at times some feeling of accomplishment for their efforts in forming us. I count myself lucky to have been graced by them and fortunate in having fallen under their spell. And I’m still sustained by the strength of the emotional bonds we mortals forged.”

I remember stuff like the day I was called to Ken Kingham’s office (what did we call him?)

He referred to it as a mystical experience of such intense beauty that it was almost unbearable- maybe like the one Van Gogh had with “Starry Night”. And what he saw in that otherworldly vision was sustaining him even as he lay dying- a feeling of great wonder and unity with all things. The moral of the story- sometimes we really have no idea what is good for us and, while avoiding hardship certainly may lead us to an easier life, it seldom leads to a more meaningful one. Frank Ewing was wonderful man who taught with great kindness and humor.

I still run or bike every School in Fort Benning, GA. After receiving a commission day but I am focused most on projects around the house and in Armor ( not Infantry), I received training at the Armor checking off Joy Thoroughgood’s “One Thousand Jobs of The School in Fort Knox, then Fort Hood, TX and ultimately Honey- Do and Honey- Due List”. the Republic of Vietnam - the last at the kind invitation of the Defense Department. I served as a platoon leader and later Squadron Maintenance Officer with the 11th Armored Cavalry and then the 1st Squadron of the 1st Armored Cav. My military experience gave me a whole host of laughable, strange and bizarre experiences, and even made me a bit more responsible. Reflecting on my service overseas, I would never again in my life have the unusual responsibility for the lives of others as I had at 23. Moreover, it gave me a different perspective on war. I’m reminded of Robert E. Lee’s famous quote, “It is well that war is so terrible lest we should grow too fond of it.” Now it seems to me oddly that the ones who are most fond of war are often those decision makers and their followers who have had the least experience with it. As for vocation- I realized I enjoyed teaching and working with young people. Perhaps it was a belief I could help shape the lives of our youth who happen to be going through one of the most difficult periods in life, adolescence. After all my years teaching at the high school level, I always found it rewarding trying to make a positive difference in a young person’s life. On the other hand, I probably scarred a few

A GOLDEN SOCCER SEASON FIFTY YEARS AGO AT THE HAVERFORD SCHOOL a reminiscence by James Blunt, ’64
