CLASS BRIEFS PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING

Ina Geduldig Becker

 

Ina Geduldig Becker, who never misses a reunion (a "beat'), continues to stay in excellent shape; she has been a regular attendee of Rich Barnett's '(59)  biweekly ballroom dance classes in the Somers, NY area. She recommends "Remembering Mt. Vernon" written and edited by Bruce Fabrikant, Class of 1960. She writes: "it was fun talking with you and your wife."


 John Tripodi


John Tripodi who flies up annually from Florida to be with us always spices up conversation with his glowing remembrances of growing up in the South area. He looks great, sounds great and writes:  "Thanks for your hard work on behalf of the class of '58, the Premier Class."  By the way, John  has an attic full of memorabilia he plans to share with us.


Jack Brophy


Jack Brophy is a regular presence at all our reunions. Built solid, our tough talking labor lawyer  continues his adversarial pose --and why not,?  His briefs are tersely delivered and who's to argue in front of a Pro.


Dick Schwartz

 

Dick Schwartz is a volunteer who continues to pay back for the great public school education he received when his family relocated to MV in 1950 and moved into the home built by music publisher Leo Feist, granddad of classmate Richie Feist.  Here are his last two postings from among the over 500 he has written over the last 15 years.   


Peter Solender 

Peter Solender keeps in touch from the Buffalo, N.Y. area. He recalls my dad drove both of us to  school each morning, our playing competitive basketball in his back yard area. Pete and Ronnie Costa members of our Camera Club both received accolades for their photographs. 


Mike Margulis 
 

REACHING OUT TO
Mike Margulis:  A number of Mike's friends have requested updates on his  career. He was one of two our classmates voted the 'Most Bohemian.' He is pictured in our yearbook seated  in a chair with guitar in hand besides Susan Iushewitz.  The MV Daily Argus reported his graduation from Oberlin College (along with Ken Canter) with a Bachelor of Music from the Conservatory of Music. He was a member of the Oberlin orchestra and wind ensemble. He spent his junior year in Salzburg, Austria and studied at the Mozartium. 

Any one who can help us  continue connecting the dots in Mike's career, please let me know so I can share. rjschwartz.ny@gmail.com
