Family Photos

 

Ken and Marvina Kastner are escaping the St. Louis winter in Florida and Natale and

her husband Joe joined them near Sarasota at the Columbia Restaurant on

St. Armands Circle.  Natale and Joe live in Winterhaven, Florida.

 

Visiting their extended family at Westminster Place in the Central West End are

Betty Jaeger Portmann and Jim (front row right).  Betty has been upgraded from

very stable recently to VERY VERY Stable.  This was at Christmas and Betty is now

strong enough to do gardening, hiking, bird watching and cooking.  What a great way

to begin the new year!!

Judy Morse Harrington with grandson Antonio, son of daughter

Christy.

Judy Morse Harrington with husband John and grandson Jack, child of Judy and

John's son Tom at Thanksgiving.  They live in East Setauket, N.Y.

 

Marilyn Hardt Felter and husband Dick chose this photo from a vacation in San Diego

for their Christmas card.  On the right end is son Rich, their daughter-in-law, Jack

Julier's daughter, and two grandsons.

 

Just before Thanksgiving, Helen Ziercher and Sam Bertolet rented

a chateau for a week with 6 other people in the south of France for the

 purpose of sight-seeing and eating!  They then spent 3 days in Paris.

 

 

Years ago Norm and Charlotte Fott retired to Granbury, TX where

Norm teaches parttime and lives the ranching life he always dreamed

of.  Here they are with Carly Skipper and Zippy.  Have you seen some

of the past photos of Norm in rodeos?

 

Jane Krauss Hibbetts on Christmas morning with grandchildren at son Mike's house

in Houston.  Jane is in Assisted Living in Webster, TX a suburb of Houston.  A widow,

Jane manages an actiive life in spite of years of living with MS.

 

Why are these two our "strangest" classmates couple? 

Because they went through the Ladue School system and didn't

know each other.  Paul Ware and Marilyn Butler met AFTER

they graduated from Ladue!  Here are some photos from their

recent 50th anniversary trip which included Niagra Falls where

they went on their honeymoon.

 

Sandy Smith Kilbride, daughter Meg and granddaughter

Gwen taken recently where Sandy lives in Florida.  Sandy

made the trip to our mini reunion.

Ruth Richter Heyne j-u-s-t missed the reunion. She and husband Herb are visiting

with old friends Lorna Meier Arbet and Jim Portmann.   You probably know that

Lorna and Jim are first cousins. Ruth and Herb split time between Wisconsin and Florida.

 

 

Gary and his grandchildren last Fall. Gary is retired and lives in Marblehead, MA.

Here is Helen Ziercher and Sam Bertolet (you can meet him

at the reunion!) at the Lyndon Johnson Museum and Library

on the UT campus in Austin. They have been visiting all of the

presidential libraries around the country.

ALCATRAZ

Alcatraz photos taken by the  class pro photographer, Jim Freund,

and the story by "activist", Lloyd Russell, follows.  Notice Jim isn't

in any of the pictures.....

Did you know who they were? Did you think there were more

or fewer?

 

Planning the "prank".  "Dick, be sure and get paint that will wash off!"

"Yeah, right...."

Lloyd helping Jim Brown up.
