was saddened to learn of two deaths in the Class of 1928. Philip
Feldblum '28, a Philadelphia attorney, died on February 14,
1999. Sydney M. Simon '28, a retired physician, died on June
22, 1998. Obituaries for both men appear in this issue.
James
Hamilton '30 writes: "I live with my daughter, her husband, and
their four children in Knoxville, Tenn. I will be 89 in August. My
NYC family is all gone now, but not my Columbia family — and
not the Yankees! My son-in-law is a psychology professor at the
University of Tennessee. In my later years I translated some French
psychology journals for him. I can still recite Shakespeare and
other works, but my recent memory is very poor. I have five
grandchildren and two great-grandchildren."

Valentine
C. Bremer of Lyndhurst, N.J., still visits his son in Alaska
regularly. "When you visit Fairbanks, Alaska, on a clear day you
can see the top of Mt. McKinley, which is 125 miles away," he
notes.
For medical
reasons, Dr. Burr Curtis has moved permanently to the Caleb
Hitchcock Health Care Center in Duncaster, Conn. His wife, Peg,
writes that "he enjoys company and is out of his bed two to three
times a day" Peg, who still lives in the couple's nearby apartment,
visits Burr several times a day; sometimes he is able to visit her.
"We have our memories and each other," Peg writes. "I am grateful
for that."
From
Jacksonville, Fla., faithful contributor Paul Kaunitz
writes, "The Class of ’33 was famous for arriving with the
stock market crash and graduating with the termination of the
Volstead Amendment. Glad to know so many citizens of my class
turned out to be useful citizens! And let no one forget that it was
not long after our graduation that Columbia won the Rose Bowl
(January 1, 1934)."

[Editor's
note: With deep appreciation for his efforts, Columbia College
Today accepts the resignation of Fon Boardman as
Class of 1934 correspondent. We thank him for his years of
dedicated service. Please send any class news to Columbia College

Arnold
Beichman, who was editor of Spectator in our senior year, is
starting his 18th year as a research fellow at the Hoover
Institution at Stanford University and his 18th year as a columnist
for The Washington Times. He is also editor of a critical reader of
the CNN documentary, The Cold War.
My only other
news this time, if you can call it that, is that this is my last
column as class correspondent. Poor health forces me to
retire.
[Editor’s note: Attending the 65th reunion but
inadvertently missing from the list that appeared in the September
1999 issue were Ruth B'35 and Lewis Goldenheim,
Violet and Richard Hellman and Fay and
Alexander Papas. We apologize for their
omission.]
