Some I bequests have particular significance because of the individual's association with the University. This is true of the recent bequest of $5,000 made by Ralph Whittier, Class of 1902, to the University I of Maine Foundation. An active and loyal alumnus, Ralph Whittier devoted much time and effort to the work of various committees and contributed gen­ « I f» erously to all alumni projects. He served his alma mater with dis­ tinction and found pleasure and satisfaction in doing so. In a quiet and modest manner he helped many students who were having financial difficulties. His fine traits, combined with his ability and kindliness, won for him a place of high esteem among Maine alumni and citizens and his advice and counsel were eagerly sought.

  • Don Kadar at 61895 Fairland Drive, South Lyon, MI 48178-8966
    VOL. LII, NO. 4 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 April 2012 You do not want to miss this month’s meeting. First, we have John Michael Priest (he goes by Mike) visiting with us from Maryland as our keynote speaker. Mike is a widely published Civil War author and his subject is Gettysburg. This is can’t miss stuff. Secondly, no more guessing about where we go for our field trip this year. By majority vote, the MRRT will visit the Manassas I & II battlefields. For further information, check out the attached flier and the Trip Report section. Last call on 2012 ANNUAL DUES. Thanks to all that have now paid up their annual dues but there are still 2011 members that have not. It’s surprising how easy small things like this slip by unnoticed but if you are one of those individuals and you place value on your membership and time with the MRRT, it’s a great time to get it behind you by bringing cash or a check (payable to Don Kadar) to the April 30 meeting and giving it to either Don Kadar (Treasurer) or Jeanie Graham (Assistant Treasurer). Alternatively, you can mail a check to: Don Kadar at 61895 Fairland Drive, South Lyon, MI 48178-8966 Last pitch---for at least the next several months---but we’d like to encourage members receiving the hardcopy newsletter to consider a switch to getting it by EMAIL. This saves the MRRT approximately $7 per year per member! If you’re willing and able to make that switch, simply send a note to [email protected].

    125 Greatest Ever Stawell Gift Moments Countdown from 125 to 1 # Stawell Gift Moment 125 Current St Kilda President Rod Butterss began his career at Stawell with a win in the 1978 Bill Howard. In 1983 he collected wins in the 70m and CUB Invitation Backmarkers. 124 After three third placings, Ross Henderson wins the 1988 Herb Hedemann. The distance star also collected two 1600m victories at Central Park. 123 Stawell's Lindsay Kent collected the Jack Donaldson 200m in 1958, and was fifth in the Gift in 1961. In 1964 he collected the 70m win and was second in the Gift. 11 years later he won the Sportsman's sprint to round off a memorable career. 122 Coleraine's Peter Gunning proved ageless at Stawell running 45 consecutive mile races. He won the Victory Handicap in 1958 and the Federation Mile Handicap in 1959. Such was the importance of Stawell, that he proposed to his girlfriend on the way home from an Easter Carnival. 121 Adelaide's Hal Thomas haD a controversial career in the professional ranks. A true character, Thomas finished second in the Gift and 70m at the 1973 Carnival. He collected three Veteran's sprint titles, the first in 1978, the last in 1991 when well into his fifties. 120 Frank 'The Tank' Corsello storms to victory in both the Bill McManus Backmarkers 400m and Jack Donaldson 200m at the 1987 Carnival. 119 After just shading defending champion Joshua Ross by an eyelash in the semi final, Jason Hunte from Barbados went on to defeat Chris Tuohy to win the 2004 Gift in 12.07.
