CLASS NOTES
Columbia College
Today CCT 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."

Today 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)."
Fon W. Boardman
[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 Today, 475 Riverside Drive, Suite 917, New York, N.Y. 10115.] 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.]
