ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY SCHOOL WINTER 2017 NEWSLETTER MEMBERSHIP

If your label says 16 then please renew, since that membership expired in Dec. 2016. If you are renewing, please send your dues to AAUS, 587 Fox Lane, Worthington, OH 43085; $15 for snail mail, $10 for e-mail. For those of you on the e-mail list, please e-mail me for your current status if you have questions.

Our membership drive is going exceedingly well. So far we have had 32 yearly renewals, 9 Life, and 6 new yearly memberships. Thank you all for your support and welcome new members! From your responses, I learned that several of you thought you had renewed last year. It became clear that two things had occurred: I made some mistakes recording the renewals, for which I deeply apologize, and secondly my worst fears realized were realized. We had extremely poor mail delivery for about the last 3 months of 2015 and the first 5 months of 2016 with either receiving no mail at all or other folks’ mail. After about 8 months of “explaining” the problem to the USPS (several times and to several different people), it was finally straightened out. So now, please help both me and the USPS stay correct. Please check your membership designation on your return address labels making sure it agrees with your records. After your name will be either a number and letters or a letter and number. Exs: 17-54 means you are a current member and are affiliated with the class of 54; 17fac means current and a faculty member and a few will have 18, 19,20 since some of you pay for a couple of years at a time. Life members have L56 meaning a life member from the class of 56, etc.

FAREWELLS Unfortunately, every newsletter we have farewells to publish. We have learned of several more since our last newsletter. We extend our sympathies to all the family and friends of the following, ever growing list of friends now gone. *Emma McCaughey Koehler, ‘36 *Robert C. Gump, ‘42 *Ann Bennett Hamilton, ‘46 *Lou Gilchrist Kuempel, ‘47 *Rebecca Tewell Mills, ’66 sister of John Tewell, ‘66

A SQUARE PEG IN A ROUND HOLE The following story by Bob Butche, ’54 is the final installment of a very complicated student and man. Every school except University School expelled him. Those of you who were classmates or in nearby classes may well remember him, but this is the rest of the story… 1
