Class Notes

50 Miriam Malach, a writer living in New York City, published her novel, All or Nothing, in May. All or Nothing follows an unlikely trio grappling with love in the 1950s, a time before people could publicly be who they wanted to be, and when “all or nothing ” bumped up against the compromises we all must make for happiness.

51 “A little dab’ll do ya.” Brylcreem for the men and a spray of White Shoulders for the women will make us mindful of the forthcoming 70th reunion for the Class of 1951. The date is Friday, October 1, in the Chevron Auditorium, International House from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., during Reunion weekend. We will share the day with Classes from ’71 and ’81 for a luncheon. Our Oski and Cal marching band will be present, plus other dignitaries. Information is forthcoming from Berkeley Foundation to us individually. Registration will begin August 2 at: https:// bit.ly/3zrvF2s. Any questions may be sent to me at: elayne.mccrea@yahoo.com. This is hot “off the press” as of July 2. You will no doubt have heard from the university before this. Alums who have contacted me are: Louise Kermode of Palm Desert, who is alive and very well, Hampton Terry of Valencia, Spain, and Joan Foster Nugent of Laguna Woods, who have become reacquainted from days on the Sophomore Council. Hamp was president, and Joan, the secretary. Please take good care of yourselves and stay well. We will see one another soon. Class Secretary: Elayne McCrea, 23500 Cristo Rey Dr #503H, Cupertino 95014, elayne. mccrea@yahoo.com

52 The year 2022 will mark the 70th anniversary of our graduation from Cal. Some of you have inquired about a reunion, and the Class Committee has begun to think about a plan. Please let me hear from those of you who would attend an event on campus in June 2022. Provide name, address, and number attending. We need to have some idea about attendance in order to plan effectively. We look forward to the reopening of the campus and the prospect of being together again. Good luck to all, and Let There Be Light! Class Secretaries: Elaine (Hartgogian) Anderson, 1326 Devonshire Dr, El Cerrito 94530, 510/2323419 ; Bob Rowell, rwrowell@gmail.com.

53 Dan Sharp and his wife relocated from Stamford to Redding, CT, three years ago to a wonderful retirement community with three levels of care when/if needed. Meadow Ridge is high up on a hill and surrounded by lovely forests, hiking trails, and ponds. The Sharps are surprisingly healthy and happy, having made many new friends and becoming very active in the management of the community and in the sports activities as well. Dan continues to work a bit, including helping a friend sell a company.

54 As you might have read in the Summer issue, we were wondering who the oldest member of our Class might be. At the moment, Bob Mitchell holds the distinction. He was born December 12, 1929. Can anyone beat that? Bob said he would have graduated earlier than 1954, but he served in the Korean War for three years. Bud Henry is not a contender but has been an active supporter of campus organizations including the Haas School of Business, Cal Athletics, the library, and the Cal Alumni Association (CAA), where he served on the board of directors along with our late classmate Don Denton. In 2000, Bud received CAA’s Excellence Service Award and the Class of 1954 Hall of Fame Award. He also served on the board of directors of CAA’s club in Orange County. After living in North Tustin for 38 years, he moved to Laguna Woods after the passing of his wife. Bud says that Laguna Woods (formerly Leisure World) is an ideal place for a single woman or man who wants to remain active. Jim Griffin, Jack Ken, Bill Morrish, Bob Merrick, and others (including your Class Secretary) are very interested in a 2022 reunion at the beautiful University Club atop Memorial Stadium. Let us know if you are, too. Class Secretary: Beryl Voss, 1330 Jones St #604, San Francisco 94109, berylvoss@gmail.com, 415/673-2074

55 Bob Adams, a Sigma Nu on campus, graduated in business/P.E. He served in the Army in France, then at IBM until ownership of Educational Industrial Sales Inc. of Northern California. In retirement, Bob and his wife, Lois, a Cal classmate and AOPi, enjoy travel and a growing family of three children, eight grandchildren, and two great-granddaughters. Now living at the Forum at Rancho San Antonio retirement community, Lois is active on the RSI Health Board, and Bob raises money on the board for an Appreciation Fund and the 501C3 Health Fund. Class Secretaries: Bob Leslie, 40 Windward Hill, Oakland 94618, relarbmed@aol.com; Rosemary Meehan Mein, 3748 St. Francis Dr, Lafayette 94549, rosemein@comcast.net, fax 925/283-2318 56 Our Class will celebrate our 65th anniversary at the Homecoming Golden Bear Luncheon on Friday, October 1, starting at 11:30 a.m. in the Pauley Ballroom in the MLK Jr. Student Union. There will be reserved parking for a fee. This is the perfect time for living groups or other University-affiliated groups that you were part of to reserve a table(s) and renew longtime friendships. Our Class will be seated together for the served lunch. Check the online registration link, homecoming.berkeley.edu, for more details. There will be golf carts available for classmates to get to the library for a tour of the Preservation Department after lunch. You can see how much our Class of 1956 Humanities Preservation Endowment for the Library is depended upon. Our Class now has a goal of $32,000 for unmet needs of the department. A few of these necessary items are a paper-conservation vacuum suction table with humidification dome, CeeLite flexible light sheets used in book repair, Dahle self-healing cutting mats, and a preservation pencil to direct vapor to very small areas. Please send your donation to UC Berkeley, Donor and Gift Services, 1995 University Ave., Suite 400, Berkeley, CA 94704-1070. See you at our reunion in October, and Go Bears!

58 Pe t e H e g e r l e muses about the pandemic: “Naked without your mask, and afraid, wondering if you are doing the wise thing, because you don’t know who has and who has not received a double dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Our world was as big as we made it until the virus jailed us all. That’s when Cal’s ingrained lessons kicked in and took control. In 2020, I was captain of my own ship. I traveled. I hiked along the shore of the lake out my back door. I saw things I had never noticed walking the golf course overlooking my house. The trees were many and stately. Reaching for the sky, they knew no bounds. I envied their freedom. I saluted them as I wanted to be part of them, to carve my name: ‘Pete passed by here many times in 2020-21.’ So vibrant green was the grass. I had kept my eye only on that little white ball. I never noticed the grass or the critters that peeked at me while I invaded their world. How varied, how many, how ignored. Long-legged turkeys, noisy, floating geese, scared bunnies there, but never appreciated. And one fine day, in spite of the pandemic, I did have quite the serendipity as I hiked. I found an embedded, old, copper penny minted in San Francisco in 1958. Now THAT was a GOOD year!” Nancy Bruce Applequist moved east with her husband, Jon Applequist, after graduating from Cal. He was a chemistry professor at Cal

and Columbia University. In 1965, he became a professor of biophysics at Iowa State University. Their five children grew up in Ames, and four now live in other states around the country. She r e m e m b e r s t h e Me d i t e r r a n e a n c l i m a t e o f Berkeley, the morning fogs, and rainy storms in winter. When she lived in CA, she wished it would snow. Now she has seen a few blizzards and has shoveled plenty of snow. The summers are hot, humid, and green, and one has to be wary of tornadoes. She has not been in one yet, but last summer they had a derecho, which did a lot of damage to trees and power lines. Although she has never ridden a tractor or combine, she has gotten used to living in a rural state. Class Secretary: Ann Bradshaw Jenkins, 190 Walnut Ave, Unit 102, Santa Cruz 95060, anndobie62@gmail.com, 831/840-6495

61 In light of the pandemic-driven uncertainty around campus events in fall 2021, the Class of ’61 has extended its 60th Reunion Year into 2022, dubbing it “61 for ’61.” We will culminate our celebration in our 61st year with an event on campus, with several smaller events happening earlier. The first will be a luncheon at the University Club in San Francisco on November 19, the day before Big Game at Stanford; then several virtual events in early 2022 with guest speakers; and, finally, an on-campus event in fall 2022. Class members will be receiving emails regarding these events as they unfold. Meanwhile, members can contact reunion co-chair Joy Maguire at joycelyn_maguire@yahoo.com for more information. Class Secretary: Sandra Mitchell, sandramitchellphd@gmail.com

62 E r i c Wa l l a c e says that his third literary novel (and sixth book), Mind After Mind, was published in May. It’s about a renowned Seattle cartoonist who discovers that he can read minds. “The novel is not science fiction or fantasy,” Eric says. “It’s a realistic work with this one little twist: the protagonist can read minds. It’s literally thought-provoking!” Class Secretaries: Donna Hartman Dutton, 39 San Clemente Drive #102, Corte Madera 94925, donnad13@aol.com; Richard Cerruti, 31611 Paseo Rita, San Juan Capistrano 92675, racerruti@hotmail.com

63 Carl Boggs, M.A. ’65, Ph.D. ’70, reports: “I am finally submitting notes regarding my own activities and work. My 25th and most recent book is titled Facing Catastrophe: Food, Politics, and the Ecological Crisis. I received the Charles McCoy Career Achievement Award from the American Political Science Association and am the author of more than 500 articles, essays, and reviews. While at Berkeley, I worked at the Daily Cal as a sports writer and editor. As a grad student, I participated in the Free Speech Movement, sitting in at Sproul Hall. I was instrumental in bringing to the U.S. the political thought of Antonio Gramsci. After Berkeley, I taught at a number of major universities: Washington University, UCLA, USC, UC Irvine, Carleton University, and Antioch University.” Class Secretaries: Doris Hawks Torbeck, 295 Silvia Dr, Los Altos 94024, doris.hawks@ gmail.com, 650/949-4157; Tom Shelton, PO Box 442, Forestville 95436, casatom@yahoo.com

Having spent 30 years in technical publications for Bell Labs, Oracle, and others, this is Ron’s first solo book. A culmination of a project his late wife, Diane, began more than 35 years ago, it traces her difficult family life as well as the story of their marriage. Despite Diane’s worsening dementia before her death, he continued to care for her. Ron volunteers for the Alzheimer’s Association to help caregivers. Living in Laguna Woods, John Pohl and his wife, Judi, have two adult sons, Jonathan and Clint. Following graduation, John earned both a master’s and a doctorate from MIT.

67 Don George reports: “One thing I’ve realized is that we’ve been ‘sheltering in place’ here in the mountains for the last 20 years! We invented the concept but didn’t know it! I’m still plugging along with my banking expert-witness business. Gray or no hair (me) is a real plus in my business! Now, we’re looking forward to spending more time on campus, going to games, having lunch with old buddies, etc. Our local chapter of Cal alumni, Bears in the Woods, is hosting Jim Knowlton next week at Garwoods. The repercussions of the SCOTUS decision in the NCAA case will make for lively discussion.” John Lovewell is currently serving as chairman of the board of trustees of the Institute of World Politics, an independent graduate school of national security and world affairs based in Washington, D.C. John also remains active in commercial real estate development in Silicon Valley. Sandra (Sayre) Flattery and husband, John, have sold their big house and moved into a new condo in Ketchum, ID. They love walking and biking everywhere and not having gardens, ponds, streams, and horses to take care of. Their four children and seven grandchildren are all well and happy. In May, they embarked on a three-week driving trip through the Pacific Northwest and loved the Quinault and Hoh rainforests on the Olympic Peninsula, where Sandra had a workshop with her fellow Sun Valley Club photographers. A monthlong driving trip in Northern California is coming in mid- September. She hopes to see some classmates!
