January 2021 Class Notes for Class Pages in Alumni Connections January 2021 Class Notes for Class Pages in Alumni Connections 1963 Dear Friends from the Class of '63, We thought everything was on the road to recovery - the pandemic, presidential election, Christmas and going to church in parking lots or on Youtube or Zoom. Then yesterday happened, January 6, 2021. I think we all need to read the book called "A Boy, A Mole, A Fox and a Horse." It's about Love and Kindness. I had to read it twice to understand the message fully. Thank you to those who wrote me. Here's what our classmates are up to: Mary Roberts Judkins writes that she hasn't sent any news since our 50th, which she enjoyed very much. Here is a brief recap from 2013 to the present: In 2013, I was living in Hume doing my horse thing and my in-home dog boarding business. In 2016, I decided it was time to live in town. I thought it would take me 2 years to sell my house, but it took 2 weeks by myself. I quickly moved to a townhouse in Warrenton, It was hard to deal with all the steps for me and my aging dog, so this past October I moved to a one-level house in Warrenton. Covid has certainly made a difference for me as my family is all far away, but I have my dog and I'm coping. I am in frequent touch with SUE JORDAN Rodarte in San Antonio, TX, and am trying to figure out a good volunteer project. I am in a study club, book club and have been very active in VA politics. SALLY LIVINGSTON Brown shares that she and her husband skied for three week in CO before the shutdown in March. We enjoy staying at our river home, "Baywatch" and have been able to entertain small groups there since we could get outside on a porch and then enjoy water sailing or kayaking. Our heartbreaking news is that our daughter, Sarah, was diagnosed in May with glioblastoma brain cancer.. Her brain surgery was successful. She is only 53 years old and has always been athletic and in great health. Our family would appreciate your prayers. SHEARER TROXELL Luck reports that dealing with the pandemic has meant deeper cleaning of bathrooms and towels., more phone calls to shut-ins and widows, enjoying Zoom Sunday School and family visits and book groups and doing more word games and jigsaw puzzles, having distanced visits on our screened porch with BYOB - Bring Your Own Blanket, She attended the Dec. Virtual Richmond Holiday Gathering where she heard Dr. Fox give her wonderful State of the University message. Shearer is hoping everyone is coping well and staying safe. We CAN do this! Now let's journey to Houston, TX, to hear from EMILY DETHLOFF Ryan. She and Tom have picnicked in every park within a 20-county radius. We have not seen our son and grands in over a year, but have talked a lot. We have read all of David McCullough's books which are fabulous in every way. Happy New Year to all! ANNA KATE REID Hipp writes that she and her husband, Hayne, went to MD Anderson in Houston for six weeks to treat him for MDS, a form of blood cancer. She says that it was a special time. In spite of the expertise in Houston, Hayne died on August 27 after they returned to Greenville. "We had a fabulous 57 years run. "ANNA KATE reports that she has made it through her first Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years without him and now her new life "has taken on a life of her own." Thank you for sharing this, ANNA KATE. JANET BISH Holmes also writes that she lost her husband, Gordon, this past year. They both came down with Covid 19, and he died. She'll not forget this year and its challenges. Her good news is that grandson, Steve, graduated from Riverside Military Academy and entered Auburn University. Her granddaughter, Courtney, graduated with honors from Auburn in Dec. My new granddaughter, Lyric, was born in August this past year. She describes this all as three bright spots. We are all thinking of all of you and send you our love. Please share your news with me: [email protected]. Lynn Butts Laidig ’63 1965 Class of 1965 Secretary, Ann Mebane Levine: [email protected] January 8, 2021 Hi, Class of ’65! My previous web column was written in September. Now it is already time for another! These columns need to be submitted to MBU on a quarterly schedule, so I’ll tell you what news I have since last writing. You may recall I told you that I was considering driving from Atlanta to Crozet, VA to visit my daughter Melissa and family for Thanksgiving, since I hadn’t seen them for a year. Well, I did it, and I’m glad! I had trepidations, of course, but my family quarantined themselves for a week before I came--as well as taking Covid tests, and all was well. My grandkids, Lilah (16) and Julian (14) seemed so grown since I last saw them. One of the big treats while I was there is that on the day before Thanksgiving, my daughter and I drove to Lynchburg to see SUSAN THOMPSON Timmons ’64 and her wonderful one-woman art show at the Academy Center for the Arts of 22 of her recent oil paintings! The exhibit was titled “Antarctic Meltdown: Reality and Realism,” and was based on memories and copious photos from Susan and husband Tim’s fascinating visit there in 2013. Susan gave Melissa and me a private tour of the gallery’s exhibit of her works, and we were blown away! Before visiting the gallery, we met Susan at her lovely condominium where she and her husband treated us to a delicious pre-Thanksgiving meal with turkey and trimmings, and a birthday pie to celebrate Tim’s birthday that day! It was marvelous to see her work. What an accomplished artist! Above: (l-r) Melissa Levine Miles and ANN MEBANE Levine ’65 Below: (l-r) ANN MEBANE Levine ’65 and SUSAN THOMPSON Timmons ’64 Our Class of ’65 Book Club continues with our monthly zoom meetings, and we have such fun! At our December meeting we went with a perennial seasonal favorite. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson. So many of us have loved that book over the years and it was great to revisit it! We had 20 classmates on the zoom call, and a few of them came in holiday attire! I have added some pictures showing you what I mean, and also a photo of the zoom screen of our meeting. We’ve got a very important book on tap for our January meeting—Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste: The Origin of Our Discontents. This is a deep-dive study of the history of racism and class in our country and I highly recommend it to you. Going forward, we’re reading a memoir by Jacqueline Winspear in February, This Time Next Year We’ll Be Laughing. In March, we are going to read Barack Obama’s A Promised Land. Let me know if you would like to be added to our Zoom invite list, and I’ll tell Pickett Craddock, our Zoom Maven, to add you to the list.

I learned from EMY MARTIN Halpert that RANDI NYMAN Halsell had fallen recently and torn her rotator cuff, necessitating surgery. I wrote Randi, and she replied that she had fallen off a two-step step ladder in her pantry, getting a vase from the top shelf. Thus, she says, no more step ladders for her, and she doesn’t recommend them to any of her buddies! When she wrote me in mid-December she said it had been six weeks since her surgery and she was finally getting well. Her daughter from Southern California had come when she had her surgery and helped with getting through the first week, along, of course, with Randi’s husband, Ed. Their pediatrician-daughter lives locally, and provided lots of advice and help, and was planning to host Christmas Eve duty (usually Randi’s job) as well as on Christmas Day for everyone, on the patio near the outside fireplace. I hope Randi’s well-recovered by now, but everyone should remember her advice about step ladders, even short ones! 1969 The Class of 1969 learned with great sadness that our classmate CORRIE SMITH Sargeant died of Alzheimer’s in Nov. 2020. She is remembered fondly by everyone who knew her, and several classmates make specific mention of her in their notes. SUSAN CHRIST CAMPBELL writes I retired June 30, after 26 years with Payson Schools, but was asked to continue part-time with grants, Emergency Operations, and English Learners. When that's finished next June, I'm done! I camped in Oct. at McDowell Mountain Park in the Valley where there are endless trails to explore. I love my 18' trailer.

  • RCAF History in Comics
    RCAF History – American Comics - April 1941 to 1946. This first issue of “ True Comics ” appeared in April 1941, however this four- color, ten-cent [US], treasure chest of American and Canadian culture would never be sold or read in Canada during World War Two. So why was each American publication full of Canadian and RCAF history? Possibly for the simple reason so many RCAF heroes were Americans serving in the RCAF fighting Nazi Germany. Canada declared war on Germany on 10 September 1939, and almost one year later, the Liberal government of P.M. William Lyon McKenzie King declared in parliament the passing of the War Exchange Conservation Act, [WECA]. This was a Canadian protectionist measure to help the Canadian dollar and strengthen the war economy in general. American publishing giants of pulp magazines and comic books were now restricted imports and no longer allowed into Canada. I believe this new law upset a number of powerful American comic book publishers, who had totally controlled the Canadian youngster’s minds from Prince Edward Island to the Vancouver Islands. By the beginning of March 1941, the American comics were gone from Canada for the next four years, a period historians have now titled “First Age of Canadian [Whites] comics.” Anglo-American Publications in Toronto and Maple Leaf Publications in Vancouver, B.C., were the first to fill the void and began publishing what collectors call the first true Canadian comic books, for sale in March 1941. Maple Leaf Publishers “ Robin Hood” and “Better” comics both appeared in March 1941. Today [2018] this “White” comic has a collector price between $600 to $800 [Can.] partly due to the fact they are so hard to find.

Kan Cover picture: Hawker Hurricanes ii First in the Air The Eagle Squadrons of World War II During the perilous years of 1940-1941, a small band of Americans joined the Royal Air Force to help England resist Nazi Germany. They did so while the United States remained a neutral power and overcame significant obstacles to accomplish their objective. Over time, the RAF formed three fighter units, known collectively as the Eagle Squadrons, around these volunteer pilots. These Americans flew alongside their British comrades in fighter and bomber escort missions until 1942, when they transferred into the United States Army Air Forces. The Eagle Squadron pilots made noteworthy contributions to the RAF, assisting them in their transition from fighting a defensive war to waging an offensive campaign against the German Luftwaffe and helping pave the way to an eventual Allied victory.

  • 14636 Mc Intyre Master Document.Indd
    Marion Mc Intyre was a woman cut of the warmest, kindest cloth who volunteered her time, her effort and her love. She was so many things to so many people - a loving wife, mother and grandmother, a friend and mentor, but more than anything, Marion was a wonderful example of the good in people. With the end of World War I, the year 1919 marked a time of change in American history, as soldiers returned home to start their families amidst a booming post-era economy. In Freeport, Illinois, Benjamin Shaw and his wife, Rae (Roberts), were among the many expecting parents, and on December 16, 1919, they were blessed with the birth of their daughter, Marion Beth. Marion and her brother, Robert, grew up in a loving, yet strict home. It was evident from a young age that Marion was a very bright girl. Her mother was an elementary school teacher and education was a top priority. Marion excelled in her studies and graduated from high school at the age of 16. In addition, she was the valedictorian of her 8th grade class and was elected to the Senior Honor Society in high school. Marion went on to graduate from Morton Junior College, where she was elected to the Alpha Pi Epsilon - Honorary Business Fraternity. Some time later, she took the Great Books Course at the University of Chicago, a passion that followed her throughout her life. Over the years she attended night school at various universities and took extension classes. It was in high school that Marion met her future husband, James (Jim or Mac) William Mc Intyre.

Hatch Aerodrome of Democracy: Canada and the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan 1939-1945 Cover The painting, Looking South on No. 10 R.D. by Peter Whyte, courtesy of the Canadian War Museum, shows a scene at No. 10 Repair Depot, Calgary, Alta. where aircraft from flying training schools in Alberta and the southern part of Saskatchewan were repaired. Although the unit repaired many different types of aircraft the artist centres on Avro An- sons which most likely belonged to No. 3 Service Flying Training School, also at Calgary, and No. 7 at Fort Macleod. Peter Whyte was born at Banff, Alta. and studied art in Los Angeles and Boston. He is unique among war artists in that he found his theme in the fly- ing training schools based on the Canadian Prairies. Maps drawn by William R.
