Deceased Alumni

A quote from the 1933 Bronco about a cadet, George O. Speer 1933 JC, who was killed in a Polo Game, is appropriate at this ceremony.

BUT IF THEY ARE GONE FROM OUR RANKS, 
WE KEEP THEM ON OUR ROSTER,
AS VALUES ONCE INTIMATELY KNOWN
AND AVAILABLE IN OUR RECOLLECTIONS
AND IN OUR HEARTS.
THEY WILL REMAIN FOREVER YOUNG.

Bartlett, Carl W. 1938 HS-1940 JC ~ 20-Apr-2013 was born 1922 in Lancaster, CA, to Edgar Ells Benedict and Bertha Alling Benedict. He had one brother Edgar Jr., seven years his senior. The family moved to the Los Angeles area in 1923 and lived in Inglewood, Hollywood, Los Angeles and finally South Pasadena in 1930, where he spent most of his youth. There he attended grammar school, junior high, and one year of high school. He then attended New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell for two years and finally graduated from University High School in Pasadena in 1940. He attended Pomona College for one semester then tempted by all the war jobs left to train for and become a machinist and subsequently a tool and die maker. He married Mary Catherine Sharples in 1941. They produced three children, Antoinette, Nathan Jr. and Philip. He went into the Navy in 1944 and served in the Atlantic Theater, the pacific theater and the China-Burma-India Theater. After his first marriage ended in 1950, he was called back into the Navy for the Korean conflict. His final discharge was in 1956. He married Helen Griffin in 1951 after moving to the San Francisco area. Helen had two children from a previous marriage, Carol and Michael, who Nate subsequently adopted. Later in the 1950s, he and Helen produced two more children, Scott and Elizabeth. Meanwhile in 1951, he went to work in the shops of the Institute of Engineering for the University of California at Berkeley, which he became head of in 1955. Also in 1955, he transferred to the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Livermore. Nate was a very quick study and a very motivated individual. He went into the Lab in 1955 as a Mechanical Technician, was sent over to Berkeley halfway through his career to take, and pass, the engineering exam (with no classroom time). Almost his entire career at the lab was spent in the Weapons Engineering division. He was active in the engineering portion of weapons design, also participating in many nuclear tests, both in the Pacific and in Nevada. He was a prime responder to nuclear accidents wherever they occurred, and was even part of the team on the Glomar Explorer which investigated a nuclear accident involving a Russian submarine. He retired in 1976 with the title of Nuclear Weapons Design Engineer. While in Livermore, he became involved with flying sailplanes, then power planes. He logged over 600 hours in power planes, with almost all of them flying the tow plane for the Ames Soaring Club, leading to a log of real stick and rudder flying in a Piper Super Cub, He purchased a Piper J-3 Cub and restored it for relaxed flying. In 1972, after surviving a midair collision in a sailplane, he was motivated to return to one of his first loves, boating. He bought an old 28′ Monterey fish boat, then a Willard 30. The list of activities Nate loved during his life in California and later Friday harbor is long. The short list is: The desert, camping, Baja CA, Ham radio, music (he played piano well and did play in a small group), bird hunting and sport fishing. He was an avid reader, historian, gardener, crossword puzzle wizard, sailor, writer, Scrabble player, photographer and sharpshooter. He and Helen moved to Friday Harbor in 1976, where they built Helen’s dream house. He sold the Willard 30 that he had run up the coast, and purchased a converted Canadian commercial fish boat, the “Liz B” in which he cruised the waters of British Columbia and Puget Sound for 25 years. Nate was a member of the yacht club and later the sailing club. Nate joined and became active in St. Francis Parish. He was ordained Permanent Deacon in 1982 and was active in the ministry from then on. He was active in the startup of the San Juan Island Hospice and participated in its activities for many years. Too many birthdays made boating a little difficult, and so the Liz B was sold and shortly after in 2010, Helen suffered a debilitating stroke. Helen his loving wife of 62 years left us all in 2013 shortly after her 95th birthday. Nate was wonderfully assisted in those three years and was extremely grateful to Stacy Hoban, Kim Levasheff, Julie Ross, Rikki Guiboa, Michel Lucian and Lutie Park. Nate sold their dream house and moved into his son Scott’s guest cabin where he spent his remaining years close to family on island and still driving himself regularly to church, the post office, Vinny’s, Shipyard Cove, etc. right up to the end. Nate is survived by all seven of his children, 19 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren and many other loving family members.

Catron, III, Thomas B. 1940 HS ~ 1-May-2020 Thomas Benton Catron, III, died peacefully at home at age 98 on May 1, 2020 after a life well lived and dedicated to his family and to the Santa Fe community. He was the son of Fletcher A. Catron and Carolyn Updike Catron (Bergere). Tom grew up and went to grade school in Santa Fe and, after his parents’ divorce, in Los Angeles during the school year with his mother and beloved stepfather Antonio Luna Bergere. He attended Black Foxe Military Institute, then New Mexico Military Institute for high school. While at NMMI, he began a lifelong friendship with one of his instructors, author Paul Horgan. Tom attended Stanford University in 1940 where he fell in love with a beauty in his freshman English class, June Ellis. That romance continued for decades, and Tom and June celebrated their 74th anniversary just four days before his death. Tom enlisted in the Army in 1942 and served in Italy during WWII, in field artillery and as an Army correspondent. It was there that he was introduced to opera in Naples by his friend Gene Hagstrum, and they attended every opera they could as the troops moved north. His love of opera and music in general gave rich meaning to the rest of his life. Upon his return from Italy, Tom and June were married in San Francisco in 1946. After graduating from Stanford University, Tom attended Stanford School of Law and, upon completion, moved to Santa Fe with young sons Fletcher and Stephen. Daughter Peggy was born soon after. Tom joined the Catron law firm on the Plaza, started by his grandfather in 1867, the oldest law firm in New Mexico. During his 67 years at the firm, he practiced with his father, his uncle, his brother John S. ‘Bud” Catron, his son Fletcher, and his granddaughter Julia. Tom retired from the practice of law in December 2018 but continued working until this March. In addition to being an admired attorney, he was active in legal and community affairs as a young man, including: president of the Santa Fe County Bar Association, Assistant City Attorney, attorney for Santa Fe Public Schools, Santa Fe district chairman of the Boy Scouts of America, second president of the Rio Grande Symphony Board, special gifts division chairman of the United Way, and board member on the Fairview Cemetery Association. Tom’s lifelong commitment to cultural and civic activities in the City he loved so much began early. In 1956, at age 34, Tom had a fateful meeting with John Crosby and 4 other Santa Fe business leaders. Crosby proposed creating an opera company in Santa Fe and asked Tom to be the lawyer for the new venture. Tom jumped at the chance although it seemed like a crazy idea to many. Tom was fond of recounting the occasion on which John called from New York in early 1957 and simply asked Tom to listen. Through the phone, Tom heard the initial rehearsal for Madame Butterfly, the first Santa Fe Opera production. At that point, he knew that the Opera would actually happen. In the early years, he and June would make calls to people listed in the Santa Fe phone book to sell tickets to performances. They have attended every opening night but one, for their granddaughter’s wedding on the East Coast, and two or more performances of every Santa Fe Opera production since 1957. He served continuously on the SFO Board, holding every Board office including President and Chairman, until his death. In 1962, Tom’s love of history and art made him the right person to lead the creation of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation, and he served as its Chairman for 26 years and on the Board until his death. Prior to the Foundation, state museums had no means to solicit donations or acquire art. The Museum Foundation became the engine for contributions, acquisitions, collections, exhibitions, and education for the New Mexico museum system. Tom is credited with securing the donation of the Alexander Girard 100,000 piece folk art miniature collection to the Museum of International Folk Art. He was honored beyond measure in 2019 when the Foundation dedicated its new administration building as the Thomas B. Catron III Building. He was also a director and vice president of the Spanish Colonial Arts Society, which operates the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, and a founding director of the Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry. In 1972, he helped organize Santa Fe’s Capital Bank (eventually acquired by Bank of America) because he felt the City needed a bank with a personal connection to its clients. The bank became Santa Fe’s largest bank, through the efforts of his friend Ike Kalangis and fellow Board members, and Tom served as Chairman of its Board for 20 years. In 2007, Tom was proud to be co-nominated by both the Museum Foundation and the Opera to be named a Santa Fe Living Treasure by the Living Treasure organization that honors elders who have generously served the community. In 2012, Tom was honored with the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts for his significant lifelong contributions to the cultural life of New Mexico. In addition to his legal and civic commitments and his devotion to his family, Tom was an avid reader, music lover, raconteur, hiker, and traveler, and was a musical artist in his own right when it came to whistling. His life was full of interesting stories such as having a bit part in a Shirley Temple movie, patting Seabiscuit in his stall, dancing with Ginger Rogers, swimming with Rita Hayworth, securing an audience with the Pope as a GI, and the time Georgia O’Keeffe tried to “borrow” an axe head from June and Tom’s home. Tom loved the outdoors, beginning with fishing trips and duck and quail hunting with his father and later adventures with his friends and children. Tom, Bud Kelly, Dee Lord, John Dillon, and several other friends formed the Pajarito Hiking Club and roamed the local mountains. Beginning in 1958, Tom shouldered packs with Fletcher and Stephen and took them on Boy Scout backpacking trips ranging from two days to 11 days in length, including “survival” camps with no food, and winter camps on snowshoes to Spirit Lake and Lake Katherine. Tom developed deep and enduring friendships with fellow Santa Feans through a variety of social and cultural organizations, including the Kiva Club, ¿Quien Sabe? and the Chili Club. Tom worked tirelessly to make Santa Fe a beautiful, interesting and compassionate community. Beyond what he did, was how he lived: generous of time, spirit and treasure, caring and committed. His word was his bond. Tom was, in a phrase, a very good man. He is survived by his wife June, son Fletcher R. Catron (wife, Diane L. Catron) and daughter Peggy Catron (husband, Jerome C. Premo), grandson Thomas F. Catron (wife, Janette Denevan Catron and their sons Max and Silas), and granddaughters Julia D. Catron (husband, David Andersson), Clare Premo Perez (husband, Andres Perez) and Emily C.E. Premo. Tom and June’s son Stephen died in 1985, and now father and son are listening to Strauss together.

Duson, C. Pharr, Jr. 1940 JC ~ 24-May-2011 born the 24th of May 1921, passed away on his 90th birthday, the 24th of May 2011. Pharr was born in El Campo, TX, to Clarice Koch and Curley Pharr Duson. Pharr attended El Campo schools, New Mexico Military Institute and the University of Texas at Austin, where he received a Bachelors of Business Administration and was a member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity. He served as Captain in the 66th “Black Panther” Division of the U.S. Army Cavalry in the European Theater during World War II. At war’s end, he joined the firm of Rotan, Mosle & Company, where he learned the brokerage and investment banking business from the ground up. During his years in the business, he served as Managing Partner and President of Rotan, Mosle & Company, Vice President of Clark Dodge & Company, head of the Southwestern Investment Banking Unit of Kidder Peabody and Director of Client Services with Vaughn, Nelson, Scarborough and McConnell, LP. Also, Pharr served as Governor of the National investment Bankers Association (IBA), Chairman of the IBA Texas Group and member of its Syndicate Oil and Gas Committee. He participated as Governor of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and as Chairman of NASD’s Texas Business Conduct Committee. He was a member of the Regional Advisory Committee of the New York Stock Exchange and was an Arbitration Panelist for the NASD and the American Stock Exchange. Pharr also served as Chairman of the Audit Committee for Fairmont Foods and on the Boards of Western National Bank of Houston, Mid-Texas Communications Systems, Lone Star Video, Kimbark Oil and Gas, Hallador Petroleum and U-tote-M, Inc. He relished the fellowship of his business colleagues across the country. Over the course of his career, he became known as the organizer of magnificent dove hunts across the border in Mexico. Many business friends considered an invitation to “a Duson hunt” to be the ultimate career coming-of-age, and Pharr loved those hunts. Pharr retired in 1997. Pharr served as both Deacon and Ruling Elder of St. Philip Presbyterian Church, of which he was a founding member. He sat on the Boards of Family Service Center and the Mental Health Associations of Texas and Houston, participated as local Chairman of the American Cancer Society, and was involved actively in the Bayou Preservation Society of Houston. He was a member and Director of the Houston Country Club, Director and President of the Coronado Club and a member of Allegro. Pharr’s roots reach deep into the heart of the rice country in Louisiana and Texas and he was nowhere more content than hunting the Duson farms around El Campo. Following retirement, he immersed himself in the activities that he had relished for so many years, including golf, bird hunting, boating, farming, tennis and Longhorn football. He left to his children and grandchildren the powerful legacy of the love of the outdoors, especially the Texas Hill Country lakes, the Southeast Texas farmlands, and the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Pharr is pre-deceased by his first wife and mother of his children, Betty Jo Tomforde Duson; by his parents and brother, Craddock K. Duson; and by his beloved wife, Gladys Averill Duson, with whom he lived most of the final, happy years in Victoria, TX. Pharr is survived by his adoring three children and their families, Dr. Betty McNaughton Duson and her husband, Dr. Alfred J. Kahn, Molly Duson Naylor and her husband, Skip and Stephen Pharr Duson and his wife Sherry. He is also survived by five grandchildren, Bradley Naylor and his wife Elizabeth, Matt Naylor, Andy Kahn, Will Duson and Grace Duson, as well as two great grandchildren, Abigail Naylor and Luke Naylor. He also leaves behind his brother’s children, Doug and Libby Duson; his cousin, Carolyn Lange and her children and their families; his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Mr. And Mrs. A.M. Tomforde, Jr.; and special family in El Campo and Dallas. Pharr will be missed by many dear friends in southeast Texas and in Colorado, for he was a kind and honest man, a loyal friend and was dearly loved by many. The family wishes to express their gratitude to Dr. Michael Perdon and his staff for their excellent and compassionate care of Pharr during his final months, to the staff and residents of The Hallmark for quickly creating a warm and welcoming home after Pharr’s return to Houston; to Ginger Herren for her faithful friendship and expertise; and to the staff of Houston Hospice who were there for Pharr and his family in every way through his last few days.

Stroecker, William G. 1940 JC ~ 08-Nov-2010 Fairbanks’ best known civic leader since the days before statehood, passed away Monday, Nov. 8, 2010, at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. Stroecker, 90, had been hospitalized on Oct. 30 following a heart attack. His hospital stay was marked by a steady flow of loving relatives and adoring Fairbanksans. Born in Fairbanks on July 31, 1920, Stroecker had the rare distinction of never calling anywhere else home, leaving Fairbanks only in 1938 to attend New Mexico Military Institute and then again near the end of World War II when stationed in the Army at Grande Prairie, Canada as part of the Lend-Lease Program. Following the war, the son and grandson of pioneer Alaskan families, became bookkeeper at First National Bank. He succeeded his brother, Ed, as president in 1967, remaining in that position until the bank was sold in 1978. Bill continued to serve as vice president of public relations at the First National successor, Key Bank, until entering the hospital. Over all the years Bill was a familiar sight to Fairbanksians trudging to and from work in his long raccoon coat and hat. Charming to the core, the rugged Stroecker enjoyed a wide-range of activities. His musical talents are legend as he played his trumpet at local dances and functions. He played regularly in recent years with a jazz band known as the Frigid-Aires. His interest in music, particularly jazz, ran deep and he spent many relaxing hours listening to the works of great artists. Bill took particular interest in The Salvation Army and the Alaska Goldpanners baseball team. He was a hard-working contributor to both. He is the only “life” member of the Fairbanks Salvation Army Board. His tenure with the Goldpanners began in 1962 and for 50 seasons he contributed much time and energy. Remarkably, he served the last 46 years as president of the board of directors, winning successive one-year terms. The list of his civic undertakings is long. They include: Greater Fairbanks Hospital Foundation; Friends of the University Museum; Fairbanks Rotary Club; State of Alaska Guide Board; Alaska Banker’s Association; Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce; Fairbanks Urban Beautification Commission; and numerous other advisory posts. Additionally he received top honors from virtually all of the organizations to which he served or belonged, including mention at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Bill joined Igloo No. 4, Pioneers of Alaska, in 1951, earning life membership in 1976. As public as his life was, Bill saved his most enjoyable times for himself and a few friends. An avid outdoorsman he spent literally every weekend soaking up the great outdoors whether it be boating, fishing, hunting, hiking or snowshoeing. Joining Bill on such adventures would be his prized Labrador retrievers. Racey was his faithful Lab companion at the time of his passing. Bill obtained his first black Lab in 1944 and over the next 65 years had one or more at all times. He took great pains in training the dogs and was active in Fairbanks Retriever Club trials over the years. Another passion for Bill was Alaskana. He acquired a great collection of items and had a deep knowledge of the history of the state and the Fairbanks area in particular. Bill’s grandfather, Charles N. Creamer, crossed the Chilkoot Trail in 1897. In what Bill considered one of his major accomplishments, he retraced his grandfather’s footsteps in 1997, at age 77, and some 100 years later. Bill never failed to get a twinkle in his eye when talking of his parents, grandparents and others of the pioneer times. Bill admitted to being joined to the past and liking it that way. With him at the time of his passing was his dear friend, Pat Marlin. Bill was preceded in death by his wife of 53 years, Eleanor Wagner Stroecker; his parents Edward H. Stroecker and Mattie Creamer Anderson Stroecker; brother Edward; sister Marion Weeks; nephew Robert F. Stroecker; great-nephew Jason Hackenmiller; step-brother, Buster Anderson; his nephew, Bun Anderson; and his grandson, Scotty Wagner.

Wiggins, Willis P. 1938 HS-1940 JC ~ 04-Nov-2012 September 24, 1917 – November 4, 2012 Bill Wiggins was born in Roswell, September 24, 1917. His parents, Miles Burgess Wiggins and Mona Brown Wiggins, were early homesteaders and established a ranch north of town where they raised cattle and their two sons. Bill was as much a part of New Mexico as the cholla and devil’s claw. Bill passed away on November 4, 2012 at the age of 95 in the family home. Bill attended Roswell schools, as well as New Mexico Military Institute, where he was recognized for his achievement in fencing. In Bill’s autobiography, he states, “following graduation, I took a job or two and hitch-hiked around the country for awhile. Then I enrolled at Abiline Christian College where I stayed for one year, and that was the luckiest year of my life! That’s where I met Ruthelle and we were married in 1940. That was also the year I started painting, though I had sketched in the margins of all my school books for years. One of my friends, after seeing some of my drawings, commented, “you have missed your calling. You should be an artist! Bill’s father, Miles, asked Bill if he wanted to run the ranch, and Bill responded, “yes, if I can paint”. Bill Wiggins was an artists’ artist, someone who was totally dedicated to his creative endeavors without need of recognition or concern for art trends. Bill served in WWII and during his time in Europe he was able to attend art school in England and look at the art work of old masters, who were his influence. He returned home to the ranch, his beloved Ruthelle, and their first born daughter, Sandra. Bill rarely left Roswell, continued to ranch and paint and raise their second and third daughters, Kathleen and Elaine. In the 1950’s and early 60’s, Bill taught art classes for adults and children at the Roswell Museum and Art Center. He had many solo exhibitions, as well as exhibiting with other family members. In 1995, the RMAC gave him a fifty year retrospective, showcasing his lifetime of artistic achievement. For almost the entirety of 95 years, Bill has devoted his career to painting with an unwavering joyous commitment to the creative process. The singularity of purpose that drove him in the 1940’s continued to motivate him his entire life. He drew from an inner power to which a life of gentleness and quietude manifested a startling array of poignant canvases. His passion for painting never left him, as witnessed by the sheer number of works produced, keeping him forever inventing new ways of communicating ideas through the poetry of color and light. He was recognized for his commitment by the state of New Mexico and was awarded the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2011. In spite of over twenty years of adapting to the ravages of macular degeneration, Bill continued to paint through the darkness. Bill was able to live at home his entire life surrounded by family. He was preceded in death by his wife of 70 years, Ruthelle Gray (2008), his younger brother and acclaimed photo-journalist and author, Walt Wiggins (1992), and his oldest daughter, Sandra Wiggins, who just passed away 6 weeks ago. He is survived by his loving daughters, Kathleen Sheffeld (her husband Bill) and Elaine Howe (her husband Tom); grandchildren Jeffrey Bracey (his wife Heather), Jeremy Howe, Miranda Howe, and Logan Howe (his wife Kim); great-grand children Rowan, Evie, and Elena; sister-in-law Roynel Wiggins; nephews Walt Wiggins (his wife Vicki), Kim Wiggins (his wife Maria), niece Lisa Lester; and many other family relations and numerous friends. Bill was a kind, gentle, and generous man. He was devoted to his family and gave rides on his wheelchair to his great-grandchildren the day before he died. Bill leaves a legacy of love, of creativity and inspiration, of a deep and sincere interest in the people closest to him. Bill Wiggins leaves behind a beautiful mark.

Edgar, Judge Dallas S. 1939 HS ~ 04-Oct-2009 Hon. Dallas Sargent Edgar Nov. 23, 1921 – Oct. 4, 2009 Resident of Hayward, CA The honorable Dallas Sargent Edgar, a retired judge of the Alameda County Court who lived in Hayward for 59 years, passed away of lung disease at Eden Hospital October 4. He was 87 years old. Born November 23, 1921 in Charleston, South Carolina, he was the only child of Campbell Dallas Edgar of Cazenovia, New York and Ysabel Rising Edgar of Dayton, NV. Dallas’s father was a career officer of the US Navy who retired as a rear admiral. His parents met at the Halekulani hotel in Honolulu, where he was stationed and she was vacationing with a group of schoolteachers. Dallas and his mother spent much of his childhood traveling the globe to be near his father. In the mid-20s they lived for a time in Samoa, then in the south of France; in 1930 they moved to east Asia, living on the island of Luzan in the Philippines, then in Shanghai and Peking. After he contracted dysentery in 1934, his parents moved him to a ranch in Santa Rosa to recover. Dallas was very close to his San Francisco-based aunt and uncle Carol and Ben Edwards, with whom he often stayed while his father and mother were overseas. As a teenager Dallas first attended Coronado High School in San Diego, then New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, where he played on the polo team. Over the summers Dallas worked as a cowboy at the Cap Mossman ranch in New Mexico, an experience he spoke of with great pleasure for the rest of his life. He also told of traveling from New Mexico to San Francisco during school breaks on the roof of a Pacific Fruit Express train. Dallas attended the University of Hawaii for his freshman year of college, living in a house his parents owned in Waikiki. He was a member of the track and field team at Hawaii. While there he learned that the government was offering free flying lessons, and signed up to learn to fly. When his parents relocated to San Francisco in 1940 he transferred to UC Berkeley, but shortly after reaching the eligibility age of 20, he decided to join the Army Air Corps. He enlisted on December 4, 1941; he was beginning basic training when word arrived of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Dallas spent most of the war training others to fly B-17s at the air station in Lemoore, CA. In early 1945 he was finally ordered into battle, but while he was in transit the war in Japan ended, and he was reassigned to new duties within the US. He spent the reminder of the war flying decommissioned aircraft arriving from the European theater to San Antonio. After the war, Dallas returned to UC Berkeley where he completed a degree in journalism. He worked for a time as a flying instructor, then as a reporter for newspapers in Carmel and Marin Country. Finding that journalism wasn’t to his liking, he took a job at Bank of America. After seven years of working for the bank in San Francisco and in Hanford, CA, he decided to study law. He earned his JD degree from the University of California’s Hastings Law School in 1958, and passed the bar in 1959. After several years of working as an attorney for the California Division of Corporations in San Francisco, he went into private practice in Hayward. In 1962, he published a manual on basic practice before the Division of Corporations. Dallas met his future wife, Patricia Ann Lange of Oakland, while both were living at the Chateau Bleu, a boarding house for young singles in San Francisco. They were married in Piedmont on November 26, 1955, and lived for several years in Oakland before moving to Hayward in 1958. Dallas ran unsuccessfully as a candidate for judge in 1964, before being appointed to the Hayward/San Leandro Municipal Court by Gov. Ronald Reagan in 1970. He served on the bench until his retirement in 1986. Dallas was an avid pilot for more than 50 years, flying small planes out of the Hayward Airport. He made many flights to Mexico as a member of the Hayward/San Felipe Sister City Committee and as a volunteer pilot for the Flying Doctors, who provide free medical services to poor rural communities. He was elected to the board of directors of the Hayward Area Recreation and Parks District, on which he served for several years in the 1960s. Dallas also enjoyed boating, fishing, skiing, and hunting. Dallas enjoyed a long and happy retirement with his wife Pat, traveling to Europe, South America, Alaska, and the Caribbean, playing bridge with senior groups in the Hayward area, volunteering for Legal Aid and other local non-profits, and continuing his long-standing membership in the Hayward Rotary Club. Dallas was a direct descendant of both Benjamin Franklin and Daniel Webster, and he and his family attended the first meeting of Franklin descendants in Philadelphia on the 300th anniversary of Franklin’s birth in 2006. Dallas had an insatiable curiosity and a life-long love of learning, which he indulged extensively during his retirement. He read widely on geology, physics, human genetics and evolution, history, and current affairs. He began learning Spanish in his 60s and made many trips to Mexico to study the language there. Dallas was known for his mordant wit. In Paris with his family in 1996, Dallas was urged along by Pat, who wanted to see the famous Pere Lachaise cemetery. When Pat said, ‘We need to hurry; it’s a long way to the graveyard,’ Dallas responded, ‘Oh, I hope so.’ He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Patricia, daughter Adrienne Lynn Edgar of Santa Barbara, son Thomas Campbell Edgar of Los Angeles, son-in-law Adebisi Agboola, daughter-in-law Grace Ann Lee, and grandchildren Amaya Tatiana Edgar and Benjamin Dal-Yong Edgar.

Fuller, Robert G. 1939 HS passed away the morning of May 27, following heart surgery. He was 68. Mr. Fuller was born Jan. 24, 1939, to Mary Louise Payne and John “C.J.” Fuller, in Houston, TX. His father worked in oil exploration in Central and South America when he was a young boy, and, as a result, Mr. Fuller became fluent in Spanish.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Edwina Price Gambrell. Survivors include his wife, Virginia (Byrd); daughters Karol Garmon (Tom), Viki Trask (Jeff), and Debi Brooks (George); grandchildren Rebecca Winn, Wayne (Buster) Winn, Brenton Brooks, and Breanna Brooks; Great-Grandchildren Dylan and Taylor Winn, Mason, Kale, and Lily Mendoza; Nephews Jim Maxon (Jackie), Jack Maxon (Carroll), and Earl Maxon; and a whole “posse” of cousins, extended family, and friends. Born February 2, 1920 in El Paso, Hal attended Crockett School and then Austin High School where he played the inaugural football game in R. E. McKee Stadium. He completed high school at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell. After Junior College at NMMI, he finished his Range Management degree by attending Texas A & M and New Mexico State, thus making him an “Aggie” to the second power. Hal’s early years and education were to prepare him to be a rancher but our nation’s wars and conflicts always seemed to get in the way. While Hal worked countless youthful hours as a cowboy on ranches all over the Southwest, he had the heart of a “cavalry soldier” during his illustrious military career, including combat in WWII in North Africa, Italy, and France. After WWII he worked with the Bureau of Range Management, but the Korean War broke out so he was sent overseas once again, this time as an intelligence officer on an island off of North Korea. Just a few of the many awards, badges and medals he earned during 25 years of active duty service include 3 Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star, Army Commendation Medal, Presidential Unit Citation, The Cavalry Medal and a Letter of Commendation from the Central Intelligence Agency. Hal’s civic involvements ranged from charter membership in the U. S. Horse Cavalry Association, President of the El Paso Sheriff’s Posse, President of Downtown Kiwanis; Lt. Governor of the Southwest Kiwanis Int’l.; Past Director of the Sun Bowl Association; to being a board member of the El Paso Historical Society. Family was the most important thing in his life. He was a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, husband, uncle, brother and mentor to not just his three girls, but to nephews, cousins, sons-in-law and numerous friends of the family. For the past 20 years, Hal would preside over Thursday night family gatherings at Avila’s with his warmth, love and humor. Anyone at the table was considered “family” on Thursday nights. Hal was the initiator of quadrennial family reunions beginning in the 1970’s. The gatherings brought family together from all over the world. He never missed a reunion and the memories we are left with will ensure his presence once again at this summer’s reunion.

Reber, Lt Col Thomas Richard, USAF (Ret) 1937 HS-1939 JC ~ 16-Sep-2007
Reese, Richard Leeman 1939 JC ~ 12-Apr-2013 a fourth generation Californian, died April 12th at his Sacramento home, surrounded by family. He was 93 years old. Mr. Reese was beloved for his affable personality, enthusiasm for good conversation and genuine commitment to family and friends. Born on June 18th, 1919, in Sacramento, Mr. Reese’s large extended family was part of the westward expansion of pioneers that crossed from Virginia and Kentucky in 1852. The family of Ethel Reese Didion settled in the Florin area South of Sacramento and eventually ranched 640 acres, raising grain and stock, building homes and rearing children. Mr. Reese’s great-grandfather was William H. Kilgore, whose diary provides a compelling account of the arduous journey west. His first cousin was Frank Reese Didion, father of author Joan Didion, who recounted some of the early family history in her book, ‘Where I Was From.’ Mr. Reese was a student at Sacramento High School, where he was a ‘yell leader,’ member of the Gamma Eta Kappa and 36 Club fraternities. He was also a member of the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps before serving two years in the Citizens Military Training Corps at the Presidio in Monterey. He later graduated from the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM, before attending the University of Oregon where he was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity and, significantly, met his future wife, Jeanne Merritt Younger of Woodland. They were married in 1942 in Woodland and moved to Sacramento, where they raised four children. As a member of the U.S. Army Reserve Corps, his unit was called shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor and he was assigned to the 115th Cavalry Regiment. An accomplished horseman, Lieutenant Reese appears in photographs wearing jodhpurs and puttees, mounted on his horse, ‘Masquerade.’ During World War II, he was stationed at Fort Lewis, WA, Fort Riley, KS, and San Diego, before going overseas, where Captain Reese served with the famed 8th Armored Division of the U.S. Army near Pilsen, Czechoslovakia, and Biarritz, France. Following the war, he sailed home on the celebrated Queen Mary, which was used to transport troops during the war. In the post-war years Mr. Reese (known as ‘Dick’ to friends) joined his father, John Kilgore Reese, and brother, John (‘Jack’), in the Reese Insurance Agency, established in 1912 and located in the California State Life Building on J Street. After the war, Mr. Reese became active in the Sacramento community, raising a family, and serving as Major in the California National Guard. He was also a member of the University Club of Sacramento, Sigma Chi Alumni, Rotary, and served on the board of directors of the Salvation Army and the Children’s Home Society. A life-long member of the Republican Party, Mr. Reese volunteered with the Sacramento Blood Bank and ‘Three R’s’, a program which offers recreation for seniors and respite for their caregivers. Year after year, an American flag was continuously flown above his East Sacramento home. He was a member of SIRS (Sons in Retirement) and Trinity Episcopal Church, which he attended faithfully for much of his later life. Known for his acerbic wit (he was fond of telling ‘snappy jokes’), cordiality, and gentlemanly manner, Mr. Reese was devoted to family, neighbors, friends and his community. Though frustrated by declining health in later years, it was Mr. Reese’s extravagance of spirit that would persist throughout his life, making his parties and holiday events popular occasions. His daughters, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters eagerly awaited invitations to the annual Father/Daughter Christmas luncheon hosted by the Sacramento Rotary in celebration of the season. An avid bridge player, Mr. Reese also painted, skied, loved to travel, and played tennis and golf, one year winning the Valley Hi Country Club championship. He was a devoted husband who tirelessly cared for his wife, Jeanne, until her death in 1996. Mr. Reese was preceded in death by his wife, Jeanne Younger Reese, his parents John Kilgore Reese and Gertrude Leeman Reese, and his brother, Jack Reese. He is survived by his children: Barbara Anne Reese (Roger Monty), Richard L. Reese Jr. (Sue), Kathleen Powers (Dennis), and Robert Reese (Anita) his daughters-in-law: Joeann Edmonds and Shirley Reese his grandchildren: John Reese (Andrea), Richard L. Reese, III, (Dolly), Deanna Fernandes (Jose), Christina Reese, Chris Powers (Diana), Elizabeth Powers, and Pilar Jeanne Reese and his great-grandchildren: Sarah Voiles Hawkins (Dean), Leila Fernandes, Stella Fernandes, and Payton Powers. Mr. Reese was also close to his many nieces, cousins, and members of the Rooney, Didion, and Kilgore families.

Stoddard, Ross White, Jr. 1939 JC ~ 28-Aug-2020 Ross W. Stoddard, Jr., hung up his spurs for the last time on August 28, 2020. He passed away peacefully in his sleep about six months after he crossed the 100-year mark in February, a life bookended by two world-wide pandemics. Several months after the 1918-19 flu pandemic had subsided, Ross was born in Denison, where he lived until he was 93 years old. He moved to Coppell, TX, four years after his wife of 65+ years, Betty Browne Stoddard, passed away in 2009, so he could be closer to his two children, Gayle Heatley of Plano; Ross W. Stoddard, III, of Coppell, both of whom survive him. His parents, Alene and Ross, Sr., who had lived in Denison, passed away four and five decades ago. Ross was an avid horseman and rancher who was always a cowboy at heart. If it had to do with horses, he loved doing it!After graduating in 1937 from DHS, he attended New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM and UT, for a year each; then Austin College from 1939-41, where he met his bride-to-be, Sherman girl Betty Browne ….. and the rest, they say, is history. Within a few days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Ross joined the U.S. Army Air Forces (later USAF) where he reached the rank of SSGT. After the war, he and Betty returned to Denison, which they called home for the rest of their lives together. In 1946, he received his B.A. at A.C. For over 25 years, he served as a Director of the Citizens National Bank of Denison, and as a Director, President & first Chairman of the Board of the Denison Federal Savings & Loan Assoc. He also was a founder and first President of the Denison Round Up Club and the Texoma Quarter Horse Assoc.; and served as a Director of the Texoma Livestock Assoc. and the Denison Rod & Gun Club. Throughout his life, he raised, bought, raced and sold horses, dealt in real estate, and bought and leased mineral interests. Ross was blessed to have many wonderful friends, and spent many decades with his beloved coffee group and deer hunting buddies, who reveled in playing practical jokes on one another. He is also survived by his children’s spouses (Jim Heatley and June Stoddard), along with four grandsons and wives: Sean & Erica Heatley of Frisco; David & Kate Heatley of Carrollton; Brett & Catherine Staffieri of Greenwich, CT; and Ryan Staffieri of Naples, FL.; and eight (truly great!) greatgrandkids. As an only-child, he was particularly blessed to have Betty’s parents, two sisters and their families in his life. The twinkle in Ross’s eyes, and his laughter at all things humorous whether initiated by him, or pranked upon him, will be missed by those who knew him during his century here in this life.When it finally was time to clean out all of his remaining personal possessions at the nursing home where he resided his final five months, he had reduced the stuff in his life down to a few clothes left for staff, and his last two personal possessions that, fittingly, were still with him at the end of his long trail ride: his cowboy hat and boots! In light of the current pandemic, the family will have a small, private graveside service in the coming weeks at Fairview Cemetery in Denison, TX, where Ross’s remains will reside next to those of his soulmate and beautiful bride, Betty, for the rest of time. In lieu of flowers, please give your family members (human & animal!) a hug, and leave a story or two or a remembrance of your interactions with him on his memorial site at forevermissed.com , where there is a more extensive recap of his life story. It will make him smile when he looks down from the King’s Ranch in the sky!
Stolaroff, Myron J. 1939 JC ~ 06-Jan-2013 died 6 January 2013. He received a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University. Stolaroff worked for the recording equipment manufacturer Ampex as a senior designer and Director of Instrumentation Management. He founded the International Foundation for Advanced Study in Menlo Park, CA, and served as its president from 1960 to 1970. Stolaroff was the executive administrator for a research group conducting clinical studies with LSD and mescaline which was administered to about 350 participants. The research resulted in six published papers on psychedelic therapy with Stolaroff as co-author on most of the articles. The Foundation’s research came to an end in 1965 when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revoked research permits for psychedelics. Stolaroff attempted to continue psychedelic research using unscheduled compounds from 1970 to 1986, until the Controlled Substance Analogue Enforcement Act of 1986 was passed and halted his research again. He published professional papers in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, Gnosis, the Yearbook for Ethnomedicine and the Study of Consciousness, and many others. Stolaroff served on the Board of Directors of the Albert Hofmann Foundation. He was also a consultant to the Heffter Research Institute and was on the Board of Advisors for the Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics. Stolaroff also worked as a consulting engineer and as a general manager of Multi-Media Productions, a manufacturer of social studies and sound filmstrips for public schools. He retired in 1979.

Walsh, Frank H., Jr. 1939 HS ~ 14-Dec-2013 92, of Sterling, died on Dec. 14, 2013, at home with his family. Frank was born on March 25, 1921, in Mexico City, Mexico, to Frank and Evelyn (Morrison) Walsh. He grew up in Pachuca, Mexico, where his father was employed as general superintendent at the Santa Gertrudis silver mine. He received his education, grades first through eighth, at the “one room school house” located inside the mine compound. He went to high school at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM. In 1944, after graduating with honors from Oklahoma University with a petroleum engineering degree, Frank enlisted in the U.S. Army. He served proudly as a Second Lieutenant with the Army Corp of Engineers during World War II. After the war, he went to work for Humble Oil Co (Exxon) in Houston, TX. It was there that he met Gloria Gibson. Frank and Gloria were married July 15, 1950 at her parents’ home in Kerrville, TX. Their two sons, Bill and David, were born in Houston. In 1955, Frank moved his family to Sterling. There he spent 54 years working in the oil and gas industry. He was joined by his sons in the early eighties. Walsh Production, Inc., became one of the larger oil producers in the State (12+ years on the top 10 list). Some of Frank’s most cherished memories were of his many friends, colleagues, employees, and competitors with whom he shared a passion for the oil business. Golf was Frank’s pastime of choice. He remained competitive through his last years; “shooting his age” on a number of occasions. Beyond love for family, business, and golf, Frank was truly a philanthropist extraordinaire. He was that rare individual who actually made a difference in the lives of so many in northeast Colorado. The list of projects, organizations and causes that Frank and Gloria have so generously supported over the years is extensive, to say the least. In 2008, their donation enabled the establishment of the David Walsh Cancer Center. Frank is survived by wife, Gloria; son, Bill and wife Patty; daughter-in-law, Kathie Walsh; grandchildren, Rory Walsh-Miller and husband Jason Miller, Carlin Walsh and wife Michelle, Frank Walsh, III, and girlfriend Kara Stanley, Darrin Walsh; niece, Suzie Gallagher; great-grandchild Fiona Walsh, and long time personal assistant, Judy Vandagriff. He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Evelyn Gallagher; and son, David.

Hoopes, Gordon L. 1938 JC ~ 23-Feb-2011 was born to Roy and Maude Sowell Hoopes on May 5, 1919, in Miami. He didn’t have much time to be the baby because just 16 months later, his sister, Wille Reese, was born. They attended their first year of school in Miami before their family moved to Safford, and they both attended the rest of their school years in Safford. Gordon graduated from Safford High School in 1936 just after his 17th birthday. After graduating from high school, he attended New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM, and the University of Arizona. Fern Burtcher was also at the university. She and Gordon met at a dance, and Gordon immediately fell in love with her. Gordon Leroy Hoopes * Gordon and Fern were married by President Spencer W. Kimball on June 23, 1940. They built a home on Central Avenue, and their first daughter, Michal, was born the July after WWII started. For the first couple of years, Gordon was exempt from military service because he was a farmer, but he was drafted in the fall of 1944. Their second daughter, Debbie, was born in November, just before Gordon left for active duty. After his discharge from the Navy, Gordon, Fern, Michal and Debbie moved to their farm in Central. Danny was born in July 1947. Gordon was baptized into the LDS Church in 1947, and in 1949, he and Fern were married and sealed to their children in the Mesa Temple. In 1953, they purchased a ranch near Cherry Creek, CO. Michal, Debbie and Danny went to school in a two-room schoolhouse. Brian was born in Denver in March 1955. Even though it was beautiful and they loved it there, they were homesick for their family back in the Gila Valley, so they sold the ranch and moved back to the Valley. In high school, Gordon was a champion tennis player. In much later years, he enjoyed playing against tennis players years younger than he was. Glenn Smith, Chuck Lavetter and Kris Brockemeir were some we can remember. He also played his own grandson, Jason, and friend, Damon McRae, who were college students at the time. Sometimes he beat them all. Gordon was in the state Legislature in the early 1960s and was later Graham County assessor. He took particular care to be sure widows and others with tax exemptions took advantage of that privilege. He was a volunteer fireman for a short period and served on various school and community boards or committees, but his favorite was being involved with Little League for years – as president and coach. He coached Danny, Brian and grandson Shawn, along with many other boys in Safford, through the years. He remembered them all, the positions they played and the games they played in. He remained friends with most of them and liked remembering and talking about those years. Gordon was proud of his years of farming and identified with his many friends in that profession and respected their hard work. After purchasing El Charro in 1979, he became good friends with several of the employees. He respected them and appreciated their hard work. He also had other friends and neighbors who took him for rides and visited him. He really enjoyed the rides and sharing stories. This was especially appreciated after Fern passed away. Gordon had an incredible memory for people and names, and one day, bragging about his memory, he even said that he was quite amazing. He knew and could remember who the old-timers were, what houses they lived in and who was related to whom. He was the one to ask for history of the Valley. A great wealth of experiences and information is gone. Gordon was generous almost to a fault. He has helped most family members – immediate and extended – and people in the community who he knew needed help. He was an unselfish man. After a couple of years of declining health and almost six years of missing Fern, Gordon passed away at his home Wednesday night, Feb. 23. Gordon is survived by his daughters, Michal (Dalton) Overstreet, Debbie (Dave) Powell and Becki (Chuck) Corley; sons, Dan (Diane) and Brian (Donna); grandchildren, Shawn and Jason Dolan, Michele Sampson, Bret Bundrick and Bobbie Robinson, Adam, Tanner and Luke Hoopes, Hannah derusha, Allison Ellerman, Kyle, Sarah and Cody Hoopes; 27 great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife of almost 65 years, sons-in-law, Pat Dolan in 1972 and Larry Hudson in 1982; sister, Wille Reese Larson; and Donald and Ruth Jones.

The town of Salem was established in 1766 by Moravian settlers from Pennsylvania and became an important trade and cultural center of backcountry North Carolina. In 1965, Mr. Horton and his mother opened the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) in Old Salem. MESDA collects, exhibits and studies the furniture, silver and other metals, textiles, ceramics and visual arts made in the South from the 1600s to 1820. The collection complements the innovative research initiatives that Mr. Horton planned and implemented in the 1970s. The MESDA research center continues to be a resource used by art scholars around the world. In 1988, Mr. Horton retired from his position as director of MESDA and was made director emeritus of the museum. Despite being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, he remained active as an adviser to the MESDA collection until his death. An author of numerous articles on southern decorative arts, Mr. Horton was awarded many honors for his contributions to the fields of historic preservation and American decorative arts. Among his notable awards are the Louise du Pont Crowninshield Award in 1970 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation for achievement in the preservation and interpretation of significant historic and cultural treasures; the Henry Francis duPont Award in 1989 for distinguished contributions to the American arts (awarded by the Winterthur Museum); and the North Carolina Award in Fine Arts in 1999, the most distinguished award presented by the State of North Carolina. Mr. Horton was awarded an honorary doctor of humanities degree in 1995 by Wake Forest University. In 1997, Old Salem named its new museum complex in Mr. Horton’s honor. The Frank L. Horton Museum Center now houses MESDA, the Old Salem Toy Museum and the Old Salem Children’s Museum.

During the next 22 years, his assignments took him all around the U.S. and to Panama, Ecuador, Germany, Vietnam and Peru. He attended the Army Language School in Monterey, CA, where he became a fluent Spanish speaker. In 1942, he married Eleanor Margaret Haskell of Albany, N.Y. Their five children were all born in different places, two overseas. A four-year Reserve Officer Training Corps assignment at Oregon State University starting in 1956 sold the family on Corvallis, where they settled after Army life. Larry retired in 1964 with the grade of Colonel, having had command assignments at company and battalion level and staff jobs from company to theater command level. His only regret was that, despite his frequent requests for transfer, he never commanded troops in combat, despite serving during World War II, the Korean War and the war in Vietnam. In civilian life, Larry went into academics and taught political science and French at Oregon State. Always looking for new challenges, he shifted into real estate sales, real estate appraisal, property management and real estate development. He was president of the Rotary Club of Greater Corvallis in 1983 and 1984. He also was a member of the Benton County Foundation, the Republican Party, Toastmasters and several social and athletic clubs in Corvallis. As a boy in France, he became an Eagle Scout. For many years he remained active in the Boy Scout program, and was a Scoutmaster for troops in Germany, Colorado, and Oregon. In high school, Larry was on the football, basketball and soccer teams. He made the boxing team at Yale, and was on the varsity boxing team at West Point for all four years. He also played soccer at the Point. After college, he played golf and tennis. Tennis was a great passion in Larry’s life. Taught the game by his mother at an early age, he continued to play until a month before his passing. For close to 40 years, Larry, Ken Hedburg, Lou Krakauer and Ed Trione played tennis every Friday afternoon. In more recent years, Larry played every week against Ken Hedburg or Al Haunold. These were his most favorite days. He also loved to travel and hike, and was a voracious reader. He was preceded in death by his wife of 37 years, Eleanor Margaret Haskell Lahm; and his sister, Barbara Lahm McMahon. He is survived by his children, Frank Purdy Lahm, II and his wife, Joan, of Rapid City, SD, Lawrence Lahm Jr. And his wife, Gail, of New Lenox, Ill., Arthur Haskell Lahm of Eugene, Laura Lahm Evenson and her husband, David, of Corvallis, and Sarah Lahm of Corvallis; grandchildren Bridget Lahm, Frank Lahm III, Nicholas Lyman, Lawrence Lahm, III, Alyssa Lahm, Eric Evenson, Sarah Evenson and Britta Evenson; and many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his longtime companion, Mary Decanter; and sister-in-law, Sally Haskell Crumme. Colonel Lahm lived his life following the West Point creed of Duty, Honor and Country. He was an officer and a gentleman.

Lindsay, John Rufus 1938 HS ~ 06-Dec-2012 Passed away peacefully at home on December 6, 2012 at the age of 91. Jack was born in San Francisco on April 17, 1921 to William and Catherine Lindsay of Engels, CA. The son of a mining engineer who managed several mines in Canada and the United States, Jack grew up in remote locations in both countries. He ultimately completed high school in 1938 as a boarding school student at New Mexico Military Institute. Jack attended Washington State University. He graduated in 1943 with a degree in Engineering, after taking a year off to work for the Boeing Aircraft Company on construction of the B-17 bomber. Jack enlisted in the Navy as an undergraduate. Upon graduation, he received orders to attend Midshipmen’s School where he was commissioned as Ensign and assigned to Norfolk, VA, for service aboard the U.S.S. Hornet (CV12), an Essex class aircraft carrier. During Jack’s service on the Hornet, the ship was awarded 12 Presidential Unit Citations for successful combat operations against Japanese naval forces. In early 1945, Jack’s division officer was transferred to shore station stateside and Jack succeeded his mentor as B division officer. Shortly after this singular honor, Jack was pleased to receive orders directing him to the Naval Shipyard-Bremerton (near Seattle) to work again for his former division office from the Hornet, now a Lieutenant Commander. After a year in a destroyer trial assignment, freedom beckoned and Jack elected to leave the Navy. On release from active duty, Jack travelled to the Panama Canal Zone to work on expansion of its hydro-electric generation capacity. After a year in Panama and Columbia, Jack visited his parents in eastern Canada and decided to stay. Jack joined General Electric in 1950 to take on an industrial sales assignment. In 1950, he was promoted and transferred to the western sales office in Winnipeg, Manitoba where he met his bride-to-be Marjorie Clare Dwyer, known as Pegie. They married in 1952 and moved to Montreal where Jack joined General Electric’s Canadian headquarters. In Montreal, Pegie and Jack added four to their family: Clare, Catherine and Patricia, and son Bill, named after his grandfather. In 1961 Jack moved his family to Toronto, where he was appointed President of the Canadian subsidiary of a large U.S. manufacturing conglomerate, later to become Amerace Corporation thru mergers. While in Toronto, Pegie and Jack added a fourth daughter, Kristine. In 1969, Amerace moved Jack to Ohio as Senior Vice President-Marketing of the Swan Hose Division. In 1973, Jack was moved again to Hackettstown, NJ, as President of the Elastimold Division, which had developed a series of new processes to manufacture molded rubber high voltage electrical cable connectors. During this period of professional and personal family upheaval, Jack’s wife of 23 years passed away in 1976, leaving him with a young family including a ten-year old daughter. In 1978, Jack married Shirley Mary Casey, the widowed younger sister of his first wife. He also retired from Amerace in Columbus, Ohio, where the family had lived previously and had many friends. (In 1983, Amerace was delisted from the New York stock exchange and the divisions were sold off). In 1986, Jack and his new wife moved from Columbus to California, his birthplace and the place where he long wished to retire. His family was now grown, the elder four in graduate schools and Kris a graduate of Ohio State. Jack and Shirley settled initially in Santa Barbara, but Shirley hated to play golf in the winter morning fogs so they moved to Phoenix, AZ, where they spent the next 20 years. In 2008, after 30 happy years together, Shirley passed away and Jack returned to Santa Barbara. Jack’s only brother, Bill, passed away in 2007 at age 89 in Shelton, WA. Jack is survived by five adult children: Clare Lindsay of McLean, VA; Dr. Catherine Loe of Orlando, FL; Patricia Draghi of Santa Barbara, CA; Bill Lindsay of Los Angeles, CA; and Kristine Dangla of Seattle, WA, along with ten smart and beautiful grandchildren.

McConnell, James Gordon 1938 JC ~ 09-Feb-2013 94, of Pampa, died Saturday, Feb. 9, 2013, in Amarillo. J.G. died of congestive heart failure on Feb. 9, 2013, at Hospice Care of the Southwest in Amarillo. He was born Nov. 29, 1918, in the family home five miles west of Pampa, to Roger S. and Willie C. Hopkins McConnell. J.G. was the eldest of three boys. His younger brothers, both deceased, were John Edwin and Glenn Roger. The family farmed and ranched in Gray and Carson Counties. J.G. went to work at an early age, sharecropping with mules, primitive tractors and helping tend the family herd of polled Hereford Cattle. He grew up on the frontier stories of his great uncle and aunt, Henry and Fanny Lovett, and attended the funeral of Charles Goodnight. His uncle, Skinny Adams, was a range boss on the JA Ranch. He saw the oil boom of the 1920s and survived the Dust Bowl, giving a vivid personal account of “Black Sunday”, April 14, 1935. In high school, he excelled in F.F.A. livestock judging and in state wide speech tournaments. He attended junior college at New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM, when the cadet corps drilled on horseback. He did his bachelor’s work in animal husbandry at Oklahoma State University. His studies were interrupted by World War II, and he served with distinction in the Army, rising in the ranks from draftee and buck private to first lieutenant in the Medical Corps. When he returned to Pampa, he met a beautiful high school teacher named Lee Una Sullivan on a blind date and married her in Fort Worth on Nov. 8, 1947. They farmed and ranched in Crowley County, CO, until 1959. Their only child, James Gordon McConnell, Jr., was born in 1950. After selling the farm, J.G. returned to Stillwater to complete his final semester for his bachelor’s degree at OSU. He then completed a Masters in Science Education degree at Adams State College in Alamosa, CO, and became a science teacher at La Junta Junior High School in La Junta, CO. A devoted teacher, he soon became head of the science department. He was a lay leader at First United Methodist Church and a dedicated volunteer and Key Man with the Explorer Scout group and the Koshare Indian Dancers in La Junta. In the summers, he took geology field study courses with Dr. Richard Burroughs of Adams State University. They floated the Colorado River and explored Canyonlands National Park and other places in the southwest. Lee often went along on these adventures. He retired from teaching in the mid-1980s and was able to spend more time with Lee, friends and family in “God’s Country” at Pearl Lakes Trout Club, near Creede, CO. J.G. and Lee also were members of Denver-based Ports of Call Travel Club and traveled more than 200,000 miles together, visiting Mexico, China, Japan, Bali, Western Europe, the Middle East and seven countries in Africa. As J.G. was fond of saying, they “had a great run together.” In 1995, Lee and J.G. moved to Canyon and joined First United Methodist Church. They were members of the Crusaders Sunday school class and developed many warm friendships in the church and community. J.G. continued working in his later years as president of R.S. McConnell, Inc. with properties in Gray and Carson counties. He supported several ministries and gave generous gratuities to college students working in the eateries of Canyon and Amarillo, helping them, in his words, “climb the ladder”. J.G. lost Lee, the love of his life, after 62 years of marriage in November 2009. Tenaciously independent, he continued to live at home for the next three years, aided by friends from church, the neighborhood and especially his “gal Friday”, Becky and her husband Kevin Deckard. He often said, “I thank the Lord every day for my walk on this Earth.” Those who knew and loved J.G., thank the Lord for him. J.G. McConnell was the elder of the McConnell and Hopkins families, esteemed by nieces and nephews and cousins of multiple generations. Survivors include a son, Gordon and wife Betty; held in loving memory by Betty’s son, Brett Loos, and his family; a sister, Lillie Grace; and a sister-in-law, Laverne Sullivan Brewster, of Austin.

As a member of Rotary Club, he served as President. In that same capacity he served at the McAlester Country Club where he helped organize the golf tournament which now bears his name.

Joseph, George Jay 1937 HS ~ 01-Jan-2007 who owned and rebuilt Baltimore’s Yellow Cab Co., into the region’s largest passenger ground transportation business, died of cancer Monday, January 1, 2007 at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda. The Chevy Chase resident was 87. Born in Bethlehem, PA, he was the son of a Lithuanian immigrant peddler who went on to found a department store in Reading, PA. He earned a bachelor’s degree at Pennsylvania State University and a law degree from the University of Virginia after Army service during World War II. Mr. Joseph went into the legal publishing business in downtown Washington in the 1950s and named his first two companies, Jefferson Law Book and Thomas Jefferson Publishing, in honor of the president who established the University of Virginia. Mr. Joseph also founded the Journal of Maritime Law and Commerce and Journal of Law and Education. Mr. Joseph began his association with Baltimore’s Yellow Cab as a vice president in the business — then largely owned by his father-in-law, Benjamin D. Friedman. In 1974, Mr. Joseph bought out other stockholders and initially considered selling Yellow Cab, which was unprofitable. Instead, he spent the next 15 years rebuilding it and brought one of his four children into the company. He was a longtime political supporter of William Donald Schaefer and backer of his plans as mayor in the late 1970s to develop the Inner Harbor. He put his Yellow Cabs at downtown hotels — notable among them the Hyatt Regency, an early component of the area’s revitalization. “He believed that cabdrivers should be ambassadors for the city,” said his son, Mark L. Joseph of Bethesda, chief executive officer of Veolia Transportation North America, a ground transportation business whose assets include Yellow Cab. “He had a great love for people.” The elder Mr. Joseph won an exclusive cabstand at Pennsylvania Station, and in 1989 he consolidated Yellow Cab garages in a new complex at Howard and 21st streets. “He taught me customer service and public service,” his son said. “He was the driving force in helping to turn the business around.” Family members said Mr. Joseph revamped Yellow’s management and finances, and made it into a component of the largest cab and ground transportation firm in the Baltimore-Washington area. “I consider my drivers very important human beings because if it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t roll,” he told The Sun in 1989. When Mr. Joseph would ride in one of his cabs, he would add to the customary tip a $2 bill, which carries the portrait of Jefferson, his son said. His business became Yellow Transportation and was acquired by Connex Corp., now Veolia, in 2001. At his death, he was chairman emeritus and adviser to Yellow Transportation, which employs about 17,000 people in the U.S. in a variety of transit venues, including rail, bus, medical paratransit, taxis and shuttle vans. He was a past board president of Camp Holiday Trails for children with severe illness and special health needs in Charlottesville, VA. He was the first president of the Washington chapter of the Friends of Magen David Adom, Israel’s equivalent of the Red Cross. He also belonged to the Baltimore Rotary. He was inducted for Eminence into the New Mexico Military Institute Hall of Fame in 1993. Survivors also include his wife of 57 years, the former Ann Friedman; two other sons, Bruce Joseph of Santa Monica, CA, and Edward Joseph of Washington; a daughter, Martha Lee Mellis of Scarsdale, NY; a sister, Sara Cohn of Sarasota, FL; and six grandchildren.

Lindsay, William H. 1935 HS-1937 JC ~ 29-Oct-2007 89, passed away peacefully on Oct. 29, 2007, exactly six months after the unexpected death of his beloved wife, Patricia Belle. Bill was born in a Bishop, CA. Mining camp on Feb. 26, 1918, to William Rufus and Catherine Anne Lindsay. At the age of seven, he and his family moved to a remote fjord on British Columbia’s glacial coastline to the company copper mining town of Anyox. He attended school at the New Mexico Military Institute, and graduated from high school in 1937. After graduation, Bill left for college at Washington State University. A year shy of his degree, he decided to return to his first love, the sea. He manned the radio room on 30 different ships – on junkers, tramps, passenger liners and tankers all over the world. In the early 70s, he headed north to explore the Canadian valleys of his youth, and stumbled upon a place he could finally call home – the Methow Valley. He bought a piece of land outside Mazama and built a beautiful cedar chalet under the pines and the shadow of Goat Wall. He married Patricia Belle Shomler in the summer of 1978. Bill and Pat enjoyed many years of hiking and cross country skiing in the Methow Valley before they decided to move to “Windy Ridge” in Ellensburg in 1986. They traveled the world together after that, by air and by sea, with stops around the country to visit friends and relatives. Bill finally fulfilled the promise he had made to his father to complete his college education when, at the age of 71, he graduated from Central Washington University in 1988 with a bachelor of science degree in industrial technology. At the age of 78, he again graduated from CWU with a degree in economics. Bill and Pat spent their final years in Fawn Lake in Shelton, WA, which provided them with a warm community of friends and a beautiful place where they could take their daily walks around the lake. These two wonderful people, who loved each other above all else, have found peace together once again. Bill is survived by his daughters Patty Kuhnau, Michelle Merritt and Sara Parsoneault; his stepsons Michael Shomler, Matthew Shomler and Mark Shomler; his grandchildren; many beloved family members and friends.

Malcolm, CDR Everett Allen “Sinbad”, USN (Ret) 1937 JC ~ 02-Sep-2005, died at his home on Friday, September 2nd. He was a resident of the Villages in the Evergreen district of San Jose. Before moving there in 1998, he was a 36-year resident in Los Altos, CA. Everett was born in Maxwell, NM, in April 1916. He was the oldest of five brothers born to Loren and Ernest Everett Malcolm. His father worked in the coal mining camps near Raton, in Colfax County, NM. His mother, Loren taught school in the camps and ultimately, became the Superintendent of Public Schools. Everett graduated from Raton H.S. in 1932 at the age of 16. He moved with his father to the mining community of Terrero, NM. where he worked as a Timbermen for the American Metals Co. He saved his money, which enabled him to attend the New Mexico Military Institute during the years 1934-1936. While there he established himself as an outstanding football player and was a Gold Glove boxing champion from 1934-36. In 1937, he accepted an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. During his 4 years there he continued his academic and athletic success, excelling again at boxing and football. In the 1940 Army-Navy football game he threw for one touchdown and ran for another in Navy’s 14-0 victory, something for which he was always quite proud. It was during his time on the football team that his coach Rip Miller for being the oldest sailor on the bench gave him the nickname Sinbad. His class graduated early in Feb. of 1941. His first duty assignment was as Ensign aboard the battleship U.S.S. Arizona in Pearl Harbor, HI. He reported for duty in April of ’41. In late November, he was sent to the Naval hospital for treatment of an infection. Released on Dec. 6th, he reported back to his ship and found his next duty watch didn’t require his presence until 0930 on the 7th. He went ashore and contacted the daughter of a Navy Captain, to whom he was engaged, Marian Shaffer. (By May of 42, they would be married). They played golf with some friends that afternoon and then went to a party in the evening. After taking Marian back to her parent’s house in the hills above Honolulu, he realized he would not make the last launch back to the Arizona. He headed for the home of Captain D.C. Emerson, who had been the senior dentist aboard the Arizona. Captain Emerson provided a sort of bunkroom ashore for the ship’s junior officers. On the morning of Dec. 7th, he awoke to the attack at Pearl Harbor with the others at the house and they made their way as quickly as possible to the harbor. Everett assisted with the fire suppression operation on the U.S.S. Vestal, a tender ship anchored adjacent to the Arizona. In January of ’42, he reported to chemical warfare school in Bayonne, NJ, and in May of that year he married Marion Shaffer in Washington, DC. He was assigned to the battleship during her commission in June of ’42. During her more than 3 years in the Pacific, the Indiana was involved in over 12 major naval campaigns. Among those were the battles of Guadalcanal, Gilbert and Marianas Islands, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. On Aug. 28th, Lt. Malcolm led one of the first detachments of marines ashore to secure the occupation of Japan’s Yokosuka Naval base in Tokyo Bay. He once remarked how he had been a witness to both the beginning and the end of the war. After the war, Lt. Comdr. Malcolm had tours of duty in Guam, Bremerton, WA, New York Naval shipyard and San Diego Naval base. In 1955, the Navy sent him to the U. of Pittsburgh to study petroleum engineering. He received his master’s degree in 1956. He foresaw the need for establishing oil reserves and his thesis explored the use of abandoned salt caverns for petroleum storage. The current administration has just authorized the release of some of our oil reserves; much of it stored in such a manner. After two years of working with and studying the private oil industry in Long Beach, CA, Cmdr. Malcolm was again stationed in Pearl Harbor, HI. His duties involved fulfilling the petroleum needs of the Pacific 7th fleet. In 1960, he was sent to work at the Pentagon in Naval supply operations. His last duty station was in Oakland, CA, at the Alameda Naval Air station where he retired from the Navy in Jan. of 1962. In Feb. of 1962, he went to work for Microwave Electronics. Utilizing his navy supply talents, he organized and streamlined the material procurement system to make it more efficient and cost effective. During this period, he began to enjoy more of his leisure time playing tennis and golf on a more regular basis and won many tournaments with his 6 handicap. When he retired in 1972, he spent much of his time developing hobbies in photography, lapidary, metalworking, cooking and gardening. He and his wife Marian traveled extensively with the People to People organization, making trips to Australia, New Zealand, India, China and Hong Kong. He loved the Asian area of the world. Everett was an outgoing, gregarious person who made friends easily. He was a man who always looked forward, never dwelt on the past, had a wonderful sense of humor and recognized the amusing aspects of life’s ironies. When his young granddaughter Lisa would come to visit he looked forward to the hair treatments she would bestow upon him, at times looking like Alfalfa of the Our Gang group. When his wife, Marian, died in 1994, after 52 years of marriage, he remained in Los Altos until 1998. He then moved to the Villages in San Jose and enjoyed the company of his old Navy friends and new ones he made there. He gave free golf lessons (many times unsolicited) and played regularly with a Friday golf group until his Parkinson’s disease made it difficult for him to play up to his standards. He could be seen with his giant Airedales, Angus and then Bruce as passengers, cruising the streets in his golf cart as he made his way to the practice range to hit golf balls. He played his last 6 holes of golf less than a month ago and scored quite well. His brothers, William, Jack and Gilbert preceded Everett in death. His brother Robert, his wife Rosemary survives him, nephews Michael and John, and nieces Lena and Nikki. He also leaves his daughter Lauren Malcolm, granddaughter Lisa Snyder, her husband Jeff Foster and great-grandsons, Pierce and Malcolm Foster of Newton, MA. He also leaves his daughter Sandra of Portland, Oregon and son Howard, his wife Becky, and granddaughter Kaitlin and grandson, Logan of Santa Cruz, CA. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sept. 18th from 12:30 to 3:00 at the Sunset room at the Villages Golf Country Club in San Jose.

Matthews, John A. 1937 HS ~ 18-Jul-2020 Albany – Following in his father’s footsteps, the second generation Matthews’ man to portray the Old Timer in the Fort Griffin Fandangle, rode off to greener pastures Saturday, July 18, 2020, at a spry 101. From the Shackelford County pioneering Matthews family, Albany, Texas’ beloved native son, John Alexander Matthews, was born on March 9, 1919, the only child of Joseph Beck and Louise Webb Matthews. He often recalled riding his horse from the YL, (his childhood home and place of death), to the “picture show” at the Aztec Theater with a nickel in his pocket for the show and a cold drink. John attended Albany schools and graduated from New Mexico Military Institute in 1937. He told wonderful stories of riding the train to his alma mater, Cornell University, where he graduated with a degree in animal science in 1941. He was a proud member of Delta Kappa Epsilon where he mastered the art of being a smooth dancer. “Tex” glided on the dance floor to any music that was not, “too loud” until he could no longer showcase his partner in his late nineties. After graduation, John entered World War II as a 1st Lieutenant in the Army Air Corps. He primarily flew B-17s from South America to North Africa helping to create maps, and in the process became a skilled pilot. John flew innumerable people in need with a smile and kind words for many years. He led a relatively quiet life as a cattleman, and unknowingly, a shining example of the greatest generation. Well known for his quick wit, sound logic, and a twinkle in his eye, he was a walking encyclopedia on geography and historical events both domestic and abroad. He ran for Texas Land Commissioner in 1964, and served as a delegate for the ’64 Republican Convention, the party which he supported until his death. He enjoyed politics and economics nearly as much as the Trinity Episcopal Church and the Fort Griffin Fandangle, where he respectively served as Senior Warden and president for well over two decades. To know John Matthews, was to know his love of dogs, good horses and cattle, chickens, and birds. He was a tried and true man of the land. He was the founder of the Texas Experimental Ranch near Vernon, TX. John loved a good joke, often sported a sly grin and delighted in pranks. He was semi-famous with Abilene’s First National, now First Financial Bank board meetings for his canine companion’s attendance. John was the youngest and longest serving board member in the bank’s history. He served on the boards of St John’s College in Santa Fe and Annapolis, St. Stephen’s School in Austin and the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Association. He also served as chairman for the first fourteen years of the West Texas Rehab’s Foundation Board of Trustees. Affectionately known as The Warden to his family and friends, he was a true joy to be around. He aged beautifully and remained a consummate gentleman until the end. Until recently, he took wonderful care of his wife Sharon in their home, and subsequently, rarely missed his weekly visit with her in Abilene. Their love for one another was a sight to behold. He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Sharon Osborne Matthews and his children: Jill Matthews Wilkinson (Stephen) of Austin, Matt Matthews (June Bell) of San Angelo, Kade Matthews (Chris) of Clarendon, Holly Green (Mark Brown) of Albany and Randy Green (Cindy) of Paron, AR; seven grandchildren, John Matthews (Margaret), Jamie Matthews (Mary Clare), Dennis Wilkinson (Melissa), William Matthews, Margaret Matthews Frederick (Jonathan), Watt Matthews (Elizabeth), Meredith Matthews Nicholson (Spencer) and twelve great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his sons, Joe Matthews and Watt Matthews. John cherished his caretakers: Suzanne Kelton, Rita Crowder, Kay Box, Vicki Wright and Jesse Vega. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude for their loving care. In addition, a special thank you to Dr. Sandy Hazelip and Hospice of the Big Country for their compassionate and professional care.

O’Brien, James B., Jr. 1937 HS ~ 27-Mar-2012 “Junior”, 93, of Harvest Hill, passed away on March 27th, 2012 at the Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital surrounded by his family. His loving wife, Blanche J. O’Brien, preceded him in death. He is survived by his three children and their spouses: James Burke O’Brien, III, and wife Cathy Lines of Denver, CO, Kathleen O’Brien Snyder and husband Robert E. Snyder of Etna, NH, Maureen O’Brien Gearin and husband John M. “Mike” Gearin of Cincinnati, Ohio; and grandchildren: Michael O’Brien Snyder, 26, and wife Sarah Kate Snyder, Christopher O’Brien Snyder, 24, James Burke O’Brien, IV, 24, Kathleen O’Brien Gearin, 23, John O’Brien “Brien” Gearin, 21, Elizabeth O’Brien Snyder, 20, Sean Patrick O’Brien, 20, and Molly O’Brien Gearin, 15. Jim was born on August 5, 1918, to Esther Peterson O’Brien and James Burke O’Brien, Senior, in Sistersville, WV. He had one younger sister, Mary Ellen O’Brien Purkrabek, by whom he is also survived. Jim spent his early life in Java, Mexico, and Venezuela before returning to the United States to complete his elementary education. He graduated from the New Mexico Military Institute and went on to receive a Bachelor’s degree from Case Western Reserve University in 1941. Inspired by the events at Pearl Harbor, Jim enlisted in the United States Army and served in the Asiatic Pacific Theatre of War from 1942 to 1946. He was called back into service during the Korean War, and was stationed in Aberdeen, MD. Following World War II, Jim met his future wife, Blanche, while working for United Airlines in Cleveland, Ohio. They were married in 1948 at St. Adalbert’s Catholic Church in Berea, Ohio, where they remained to raise their children. They had a close-knit group of friends with whom they enjoyed much companionship over the years. Jim retired in 1981 after a dedicated career in the manufacturing industry, and moved to the Upper Valley after his wife passed away. Jim enjoyed writing heartfelt letters, reading the Wall Street Journal, and socializing with his many dear friends at Harvest Hill, where he resided from 2005 to 2012. His deepest devotion, however, was to Blanche, his beloved wife of 53 years.

John’s father was born in Winnipeg, Canada, but moved to Southern California to become a rancher, where he met and married Andrea Calac, a member of the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians from Valley Center, CA. John was very proud of his Native American heritage. After their father passed away when they were quite young, John and his brother, Luis, spent much of their youth and teen years attending The Webb School of Clairmont, Oneonta Military Academy and the New Mexico Military Institute, where they both excelled in athletics. John set the school record for the mile at The Webb School, which wasn’t broken for over 20 years. He also participated in football, baseball, and musical groups.

John is survived by his sons Jeff (Peggi) of Atascadero and Gordie (Saundra) of San Luis Obispo; and grandchildren Doug, Ali, Tim, Stacie and Tyler who could always count on Grandpa John to keep a watchful eye on them.

Clark, COL Harry Ainsworth, Jr., USA (Ret) 1936 JC ~ 14-Dec-2010 passed away on December 14, 2010, at the age of 93. He was born in North Andover, MA, on March 21, 1917, to Colonel (Medical Doctor) Harry A. Clark, Sr. and Grace Urban Clark. He and his sister, Barbara Clark Humphreys, grew up as “Army brats,” accompanying their parents on assignments to Fort Ethan Allen, VT, Newport, RI, The Philippine Islands, Marfa, TX, and Fort Bliss, TX. Colonel Clark graduated from Austin High School in El Paso, TX, in 1934, and the New Mexico Military Institute Junior College in 1936. He accepted a commission in the Cavalry, U.S. Army, in 1939, and served his initial active duty assignment at Fort Meade, South Dakota. There he met and married Frances Smith Tully, the daughter of Colonel (later Brigadier General) and Mrs. Joseph M. Tully, Commander of the 4th Cavalry Regiment. During World War II, then Major Clark, age 25, served as the Squadron Executive Officer of the 24th Squadron, 4th Cavalry Group. While he was away his wife and her mother moved back to San Antonio, their hometown, to await their husbands’ return. During combat operations in France, Major Clark was wounded in action and awarded the Purple Heart. In July 1944, he was awarded the Silver Star for leading a successful attack against a German unit defending a bridge. During the Korean War, then Lieutenant Colonel Clark, commanded the 2d Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment (nickname – “Manchus”) in the 2d Infantry Division. He was awarded a second Silver Star for his actions on the night of March 1st, 1953, when he led a counterattack against a Chinese Army force that had overrun several American defensive positions. At a critical moment in the fight, while under intense artillery fire, he entered a burning bunker and pulled a wounded soldier to safety. On the night of March 16th, 1953, he led another counterattack against a Chinese Army force that had penetrated the front lines of his battalion. His heroism inspired his battalion to repulse the attack and restore the front lines. He was severely wounded in the fight and was awarded a second Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation’s second highest award for valor. He was evacuated to a field hospital, then to Japan, and finally to Fort Benning, GA, where he spent eighteen months recuperating from his wounds. His injuries left him unable to lead combat arms units, so he became a logistician and held key logistical positions for the rest of his distinguished career. He was promoted to Colonel in 1961, and went on to serve as the III Corps G4 (Chief of Logistics for the largest armored corps in the U.S. Army) at Fort Hood, TX,  in his last assignment on active duty. He retired from the Army in 1968, and settled in San Antonio. In retirement, Colonel Clark earned a Master of Arts Degree in history from Trinity University, and then taught American History at San Antonio College for about fifteen years. He thoroughly enjoyed his years as a professor and his many days playing golf with friends at the Fort Sam Houston Golf Course. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He loved music and poetry, and although Alzheimer’s disease stole his short term memory, he never lost his ability to sing his favorite songs and recite limericks and poetry. At every family gathering, he delighted us all with “The Old Armchair” and “The Yarn of the Nancy Belle.” Our family has lost a beloved patriarch and the nation has lost a courageous and selfless Soldier. Colonel Clark is survived by his wife of 68 years, Frances T. Clark, of San Antonio, their eldest daughter Catherine C. Wiles and her husband, Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Roger L. Wiles, of Enid Oklahoma; son Harry A. Clark, III, and his wife, Augusta, of San Antonio; son Lieutenant General (Retired) Robert T.

Mack, Louis W., Jr. 1936 HS ~ 10-Jan-2008 Was born April 24, 1918, in Denver, CO, and passed away, at age 89, in Scripps Memorial Hospital, La Jolla, CA, on January 10, 2008. As the son of one of Denver’s founding families, Lou spent his younger years in the mile high city. Wanting to be even higher in the clouds, he developed a love for flying early in life and had gotten his pilots license by the time he was 16. He excelled at boxing and won the Lightweight Golden Glove Championship in Colorado at 18. He attended New Mexico Military Institute, Menlo College, the U. of Virginia, and Southern Methodist University in Dallas. It was at SMU, in a Shakespeare class, that he met his future bride and love of his life, Martha Proctor. They celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary in June, 2007. Lou’s passion for flying evolved into a career when he was 23 and became a commercial pilot with Continental and later United Airlines. He also flew with the Army Air Transport Command and was later a civilian flight instructor for the Army-Air Force. In 1944, he built Sky Ranch, a private airport in Denver, which he owned and operated for over twenty years. It became one of the largest private airports in the west. Lou flew his own planes well into his sixties and we feel sure that he is flying again now. Coming to La Jolla for vacations since his childhood, and with his own family for years, it finally became a permanent home in the 1960’s. Desiring to help his new community, he served on the Board of Trustees of Scripps Memorial Hospital throughout the 1970’s. Former Chief of Staff, Dr. David Roseman, said, Lou contributed greatly to the board and hospital with most valuable help and business knowledge throughout his tenure. He also served on the Arthritis Foundation Board at the University of Arizona. Golf was another passion of Lou’s and he played most of the great courses of the U.S., and was a scratch golfer for many years. He declined an opportunity to turn pro in his twenties. Although he had been unable to play in recent years, he continued to hold memberships at La Jolla Country Club, Denver Country Club, Cherry Hills Country Club, and La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. His life-long love of hunting and fishing took him to his home in Jackson Hole, WY, for many months each year. All of his grandsons say their fondest memories of their grandfather involve their times spent with him in Jackson during winters and summers. He was named a Board of Trustee Emeritus of the U. of Wyoming after serving there for many years. His home and membership at the Old Baldy Club enticed him to Saratoga, WY, for weeks at a time. Lou’s greatest love of all was for his family. Surviving him are his wife, Martha; his daughters, Ann (Bob) Abbott of Laguna Beach and Susan (Fred) Oliver of La Jolla; his grandsons, Gregg Gaynor and Justin Resnik of Laguna Beach; Josh, Hunter, and Spencer Oliver of La Jolla; Louis Mack, IV, of Laguna Beach; granddaughter, Brittany Mack of Connecticut, and great-granddaughter, Makenna Gaynor. His son, Louis Mack, III, preceded him in death by eighteen months.

He married Virginia Edgerly Goodwin in 1939, and over the next 15 years they had four children, Barbara, Ray, Bill and Betsy. With the United States’ entry into the Second World War, then Captain Brownfield was assigned to the newly formed 811th Tank Destroyer Battalion. He became its commanding officer in 1943, led it to Europe in 1944 and fought it continuously across France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany and Austria from September 1944 to May 1945. The 811th held the southern hinge of the U.S. Army during the Battle of the Bulge, mounted the only two major counter-attacks in the first day of fighting, held its position during eight days of continuous German attacks, destroyed an estimated 100 German tanks, and on December 26 held the left flank of the U.S. armored column that broke through to and relieved the 101st Airborne Division in Bastogne. The 811th spearheaded two attacks that penetrated the German Siegfried Line, liberated a POW and a concentration camp in Germany and accepted the surrender of a German field army at the end of the war. The 811th was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for its war service. Following the War, Ray Brownfield commanded units in Japan, Alaska and North Carolina. He was promoted to Brig. General in 1966 and served more than two years in the Vietnam War as Chief of Operations, Military Assistance Command, Viet Nam and later Assistant Division Commander of the 4th Infantry Division. He retired in 1969 as Deputy The Inspector General of the U.S. Army. Following retirement, he served as Chief of Staff (CEO) and later Commander in Chief of the Military Order of the World Wars, a national veterans organization. In 1972, his wife Virginia died. In 1974, he married Naomi “Cissy” Campbell Amick and returned to his native Terry County, TX. There, for the next 30 years, he ran the Red Onion Farm that his father and grandfather had run before him. He played a prominent role in his community, supported local veterans and was active in the Texas Masons. There is a statue dedicated to him in the City of Brownfield’s memorial park. General Brownfield is survived by his wife, Cissy; his children, Barbara Rushing, Ray Brownfield, III, Bill Brownfield and Betsy Brownfield Fay; his stepchildren, Lon, Alice, Anne, Eugene and John; 10 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

Augustine, John L., Jr. 1932 HS-1934 JC ~ 09-Oct-2006 “Mr. Farm Bureau” John Augustine, the first executive vice president of the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau, passed away October 9, 2006 in Las Cruces, NM. Mr. Augustine is a true legend in the annals of New Mexico agriculture where he started as county extension agent and went on to build one of the nation’s premier agricultural organizations. In 1987 he was presented with the Distinguished Service Citation by the American Farm Bureau Federation, the nation’s highest agricultural honor. He was also the recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award for the NMSU College of Agriculture and Home Economics in 1975. John was born in El Paso, TX August 29, 1914 to John L. Augustine and Myrtle Smith Augustine. El Paso was the closest hospital to where his family lived in Lordsburg, NM, where his father worked as a copper and silver miner and his mother was a homemaker. He graduated from the New Mexico Military Institute and the New Mexico College of Agricultural and Mechanical Arts, now New Mexico State University, in 1937. He taught vocational agriculture in Farmington, NM 1937-1938. In 1938 he moved to Las Cruces and was named Dona Ana County Extension Agent. Mr. Augustine built the foundation for a county 4-H program and was also involved for many years with the FFA. In those days the extension service and Farm Bureau were affiliated organizations on the county level. In 1946 he accepted the position of Executive Secretary of the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau, a post he held until January 1, 1980. Upon taking the helm of Farm Bureau he formed “The 100 Club” an organization of farmers and ranchers who would put up $100 each in seed money to fund the new agricultural organization. He built the New Mexico Farm Bureau from 500 members to 9,000 family-members statewide prior to his retirement. Following his retirement he then served as a consultant for the organization until 1994. He and his protégée, Bob Porter, would build the organization to 10,000 members making it the states largest and most influential agricultural organization. Porter went on to serve as Farm Bureau’s Executive Vice President following Augustine’s retirement. Today statewide Farm Bureau membership tops 17,000 families, businesses and organizations. Mr. Augustine also served as secretary-treasurer of Western Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company, serving both Arizona and New Mexico, and was active as a nominal editor of New Mexico Farm and Ranch Magazine, from 1947-1985. Mr. Augustine was very active in many civic endeavors including: The Rotary Club, Masonic Lodge, Lion’s Club and as chairman of the Agricultural Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. He was always active in the local, state and national Republican Party serving as precinct chairman, member of the county central committee and the state central committee. According to the achieves at the NMSU College of Agriculture, Augustine was “tremendously effective in securing adequate funding for the Cooperative Extension Service, the NM Department of Agriculture and NMSU . . . Year after year.” Mr. Augustine was instrumental in bringing Roger Corbett, executive secretary of the American Farm Bureau Federation, to serve as president of NMSU. Augustine served two terms on the New Mexico Racing Commission and bred and raced quarter horses. He was a long time cotton farmer in the Mesilla Valley and a member of the Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Posse. He and his late wife Elise formed and coached the Thunderbirds, a square dance team on horseback performing at fairs and rodeos all over New Mexico. After his retirement, Mr. Augustine went right on building and promoting the Farm Bureau by founding NM Farm Bureau Prime Timers, an organization of retired farmers and ranchers which thrives to this day. John Augustine was a master motivator and a quiet, behind-the-scenes leader of men and women. Part of his legacy are the thousands of young people he helped develop into leaders in agriculture across New Mexico. State history will remember Augustine’s influence on the careers of numerous political leaders including the late Governor Ed Mecham and Congressman Joe Skeen. He was the driving force behind elevating the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau to a potent political force in New Mexico and across the nation. Most of the good things in agriculture in New Mexico have John Augustine’s guiding hand upon them though he always made sure his students, Farm Bureau volunteers and staff took the credit. He never missed the chance to praise the virtues of the Farm Bureau organization and its grassroots structure and his lessons to young staff people and volunteers are legendary. He leaves a network of friends and family across the Land of Enchantment that would fill Aggie Memorial Stadium, all of them better off for knowing the man who earned the title “Mr. Farm Bureau.” Those folks will also treasure the memories of his fine-tuned, yet subtle sense of humor and friendly mischief. He is survived by his children, Peggy (Doug) Bogart, Las Cruces; John (Diana) Augustine, Poway, CA; grandchildren, Sherry (Joe) Galemore, Los Lunas, NM, Annette Augustine, Debbie Schatzle, and Amanda Augustine, all of Poway, CA; great-grandchildren, Traci Galemore and Chris Galemore of Los Lunas, NM. His parents and his wife, Elise preceded him in death.

McCleneghan, Samuel R., Jr. 1934 JC ~ 13-Jun-2009 95, of Sun City, AZ, formerly of Valley, died quietly at his home in Sun City on Saturday, June 13, 2009. He was born Aug. 19, 1913, in Omaha, the son of Dr. Samuel and Elizabeth McCleneghan. Sam, Jr., graduated from Omaha Central High School in 1932. After high school, Sam attended New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM, where he graduated after two years as a Cadet Major in the cavalry. After NMMI, Sam worked as a cowboy on his uncle’s 90-section sheep and cattle ranch in New Mexico and the following year on a large cattle ranch in Wyoming. After cowboying, Sam returned to college at Utah State University in 1938 where he earned his bachelor’s degree in range management. Upon graduation, Sam moved to Valley to take over operations on his father’s farm. In Valley, Sam met Delia Rose Titus from Pilger, who was teaching there. Sam and Dee were married in 1940 and moved onto the family farm west of town on Highway 64. Sam began designing and building farm equipment for use on the family farm. His wagon boxes for transporting picked corn, and a towable, gas powered corn elevator were soon in demand by Midwest farmers. Sam found himself in the business of manufacturing farm equipment for sale and the Valley Manufacturing Company was born. The company flourished with Sam’s many ideas and inventions. By the late 1940s, it had outgrown the shop on the family farm and he moved the company to its present location, now known as Valmont, along old Highway 275 northwest of Valley. Sam continued to build and grow the company constructing other kinds of agricultural equipment and pipe for the irrigation industry. He recognized the significance of an idea for a rotary self-propelled irrigation system brought to his company by an inventor. Over the next couple of years Sam worked to engineer the design and perfect the operation of this innovative irrigation system. Today these rotary center-pivot irrigation systems are a common sight and are Sam’s most widely recognized contribution to the agriculture industry worldwide. In the mid-1950s, Sam sold his manufacturing company and moved his family to Texas to work on diesel power systems for the agriculture, oil, and marine industries. He also helped design and engineer remote controlled generators to power the Defense Early Warning Line (DEW Line) inside the Arctic Circle. In the early 1960s, Sam returned to Nebraska as general manager of Fremont Foundry and Machine Co., later known as Nebraska Steel. There he made the company a leader in the construction of large, centrifugal pumps for the irrigation and gravel dredging industries. Sam retired in 1967. He and Dee traveled widely throughout the U.S., Europe, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti and China. They moved to Sun City, AZ. In 1989 where Sam enjoyed the warm climate, golf with friends and where he served as a volunteer teacher in high school wood shop for many years. Survivors include: his wife, Dee, in Sun City, AZ, to whom he was married for 69 years; a son, Kim and his wife in Herald, CA. and his two granddaughters; a son, Sam, III, and his wife, four grandsons and two great-grandsons in Breckenridge, CO. Sam will be buried with his wife’s family in Stanton.

Lusk, COL Ewing Lefetra, Jr., USA (Ret) 1931 HS-1933 JC ~ 20-Jul-2010 at age 96, died peacefully in his sleep on July 20, 2010, in the home he designed for his family, where he lived for 62 years. Born in 1914 on a ranch in New Mexico, he was an accomplished horseman. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Chicago, where he played the drums and was on the polo team. After selling insurance in Iowa during the depression, he enlisted in the Army and commanded one of the last horse regiments before it was converted at the outbreak of World War II to an armored division. At a post dance at Ft. Riley, where he was stationed, Ewing met Dorothy Donovan of Kansas City. He soon asked her to dinner. They dined in a booth at the Savoy Grill. She was smitten by this Phi Beta Kappa cowboy from New Mexico, and they married in August 1942 (and celebrated their 50th Anniversary in the same booth in the main room at the Savoy). Rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel during the War, he was his division’s intelligence officer and assessed enemy strength at the taking of the Ludendorff Bridge over the Rhine in Remagen, Germany, on March 7, 1945. After the War, he served in the U.S. Army Reserve and retired as a full colonel. Settling in Kansas City after the war, he became the president of Quality Roofing Company and was active in the civic life of the community, serving many organizations as president, including the Downtown Rotary, the Indian Hills Homes Association, UMKC’s University Associates, and the Vanguard Club. He was Commander of the KC Chapter of the Military Order of the World Wars, commander of the Blue Hills Legion Post #469, and a member of the board of directors of the Ozanam Home for Boys. As an adult, Ewing earned his master’s degree in economics at UMKC. For years, he volunteered for Meals-On-Wheels and taught in area adult literacy programs. A lifelong watercolorist and an accomplished sculptor, he displayed at numerous area shows. His paintings are beloved and hang in many homes and offices. He painted well into his 90s. Having the good eye of a collector, as he and Dorothy traveled, they assembled African, Central American, and Native American art that adorned their home. Ewing is remembered by friends and family as courteous and kind, the consummate gentleman, with an instantaneous wit that never failed to illuminate a sticky situation with good-natured humor. A gardener, he bade goodbye with “Hosta la vista”. Ewing was preceded in death by his wife of 63 years, Dorothy Donovan Lusk. He is survived by their three children, Ewing Lafetra Lusk, III, (“Rusty”) and his wife Brigid Lusk of Downers Grove, Ill., Diane Lusk and her husband Gary Yablick of Charlottesville, Va., and Molly Lusk and her husband Arthur Benson of Kansas City, and by four grandchildren, Richard and Andrew Lusk, Jenny Lusk-Yablick Sheehan, and Emily Lusk Benson, and two great grandchildren. He was thrilled at the end of his life by becoming a great grandfather to Charles William Lusk and Fiona May Sheehan. Ewing also leaves his friend, Didi Lazarus, for whom he was a life- long mentor. They were always proud of each other. The family extends its deep appreciation to Blanca Andre and Ernestine Taylor, who cared so lovingly for Ewing and Dorothy and made comfortable their final years in the home they had shared so long.

He attended New Mexico Military Institute and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating Tau Beta Pi from MIT in 1936 with a degree in mining engineering. From 1936 until the end of 1940, Mr. Boulware was in underground mining in Utah with U.S. Smelting, Refining and Mining Co. He served with distinction in World War II, commanding a battalion of amphibious engineers in the Allied landings in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and Normandy, including landing on Utah Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944. He received his promotion to lieutenant colonel on the crossing to France. He directed the erection of the highest Bailey Bridge constructed in the European Theater, over the Albert Canal in Belgium. In the Reserves, Mr. Boulware attended the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. After the war, he returned to mining with U.S. Smelting Co. In 1947, he married Edith Anson Howard of San Angelo, TX, a war widow with one son. She was the daughter of William Anson, a rancher and one of the founders of the quarter horse breed.

Ford is survived by his loving wife, Edith Anson Boulware; his son, A. Ryland Howard; and three grandchildren, Anson Boulware Howard, Laura Isabel Howard and Louisa Carrigan Howard, and Ryland’s wife, Pamela, all of San Antonio, TX.

Hunter, Dwight Lemoine, Jr. 1932 JC ~ 26-May-2005 92, died May 26, 2005 of congestive heart failure. Dwight, known affectionately by family and friends as Daddy Boy, was born Sept 20, 1912, into a pioneering San Angelo family. During his youth in San Angelo, Dwight became an Eagle Scout, amassing 57 merit badges. He was known as the fastest swimmer in West Texas and became an expert pianist. Dwight graduated from San Angelo HSl,1930. He continued his education at New Mexico Military Institute, graduating in 1932. Dwight then attended the UT, Austin, graduating 1936 with a BA in journalism. While at UT, he was a member of SAE fraternity, and had the lead role in several plays as a member of the drama group Curtain Club. After graduation, Dwight moved to New York City, where he studied journalism at Columbia, and worked in the advertising field. In 1942, Dwight volunteered to serve in the US Army, and was honorably discharged as a Major after WWII. He then pursued his journalistic career writing for the San Angelo Std Times, the Houston Chronicle and the Beaumont Citizen Press.

He was born at home to Elizabeth Baldridge Stamm and Roy A. Stamm on June 18, 1914. He attended Old Forth Grade School, Washington Junior High School and Albuquerque High School at Broadway and Central. But graduated from the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell in 1932 and attended UNM in 1933 and 1934. He worked at Baldridge Lumber Company in 1935 (This company was started in 1882 by his grandfather, J.C. Baldridge). From 1936 to 1941, Bill and his father had a sporting goods store and outdoor recreational area. (Tennis, shuffle board, bikes for hire, camping trips) When WWII started he went to work at a Munitions Plant in Denver, until he was sent to Honolulu in 1943 to 1947 with the Army Engineers and on to Post War Japan for 4 years to the 5th Air Force Base, then back to Albuquerque to Kirtland Airforce Base Engineers until he joined Sandia Labs from 1952 to 1974, when he took early retirement. Bill’s father, Roy who wrote “For Me, The Sun”, was quite an outdoors person and exposed Bill and his two brothers, Allen now deceased and Bob to beautiful areas in New Mexico and Colorado on many camping trips. Little wonder that Bill started the New Mexico Mountain Club in 1952 and it is still going strong after 62 years. Bill wrote this “The high point in my life was when I married Ruth, a girl from Chicago, September 4, 1965 who I met at the April meeting and it was truly “Love at first sight” for the both of us. We had a rustic cabin in the Jemez Mountains and enjoyed it year round with friends and as a base for snowshoe trips. Bill loved camping, hiking, backpacking and down hill skied until he was 83 in all our western states, Japan and Austria. Other high points in his life were climbing to the Summits of 12,360 Ft. Fujiyama, 14,870 Ft. Matterhorn, 17,876 Ft. Popocatepetl and 14,500 Ft. Whitney. He and Ruth were also active members of the Sierra Club, Volunteers for the Outdoors, Friends of the Petroglyphs, New Mexico Cross Country Ski Club, Sandia Ski Club, Sandia Thunderbirds Nature Conservancy and NM Wilderness Alliance. He built 28 huge dog houses for PACA, drove vans for the Albuquerque Senior Centers for five years and hosted the Audubon Wildlife Film Series at Popejoy Hall form 1971 to 1979. Both Bill and Ruth were on the Board of Directors of the Rio Grande Zoological Society from 1980 to 1990. What Fun That WAS! And we did get to travel a lot; Tibet, Russia, China, New Zealand, Iceland, Greenland, Europe, Thailand, etc. But the best trips of all were in our 1972 VW Camper in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Bill was preceded in death by his sons, Billy and Phillip. He is survived by his son Paul, grandson Dario, brother Robert and his wife Mary and many nephews and nieces and friends. A donation in his memory, to your favorite animal charity would make him smile. Bill will be missed!

Sibley, Dr. D. Jacobi, Jr. 1929 HS-1931 JC ~ 08-Jan-2005, retired physician and West Texas rancher, passed away Saturday morning, Jan. 8, at his home in Austin in his ninety-second year of life. D.J. was the only child of Dr. D. Jacobi Sibley, Sr. and Effie Potts Sibley. Born prematurely on March 5, 1913, in Bertram, 20 miles outside of Austin, D.J. weighed only 3 lbs. His incubator was a shoe box filled with wool, placed in the warm oven of the kitchen wood stove. D.J.’s father, D. Jacobi, Sr., was a dentist with offices in several central Texas rural towns. He developed tuberculosis and entered a sanatorium for treatment in El Paso. The Sibleys never left West Texas. Along with Effie Sibley’s parents, John and Emma Potts, they settled in Fort Stockton, developing ranching and business interests in Pecos and Brewster counties, branding many cattle, horses and sheep with the “lazy S.”D.J. served in the U.S. Medical Corps from 1940 to 1948 and participated in the first jungle fighting in it’s history. He served in ten major encounters, beginning with Battle of Buna, Papua, New Guinea, and was in command of the medical forces for the retaking of Corregidor north through Luzon, Leyte and Milne Bay in the Phillipines. D.J. received his first commission as a 2nd Lieutenant from New Mexico Military Institute in 1931. As a Lieutenant in the U.S. Cavalry, he was automatically transferred to the army medical corps after induction into the service, leaving his medical residency in Baltimore. After 39 months in the South Pacific, D.J. was awarded the Bronze Star and rotated home to treat his tuberculosis, hepatitis and amoebiasis. He was separated from the service as a colonel after three years of hospitalization. D.J. received his B.A. from UT Austin and his M.D. from UT Medical School in Galveston in 1937. At 37, he married Jane Dunn Sibley in Fort Stockton in 1950, where he practiced medicine and ranched until 1961. During this time, D.J. persuaded the bishop of the Rio Grande to let him start a mission in Fort Stockton, where he acted as lay reader. A gift of a tiny, historic Victorian one room church from Pecos that was rescued from the wrecking ball and moved by D.J. and Jane to Fort Stockton later became St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. Together, they founded the Fort Stockton Historical Society, leaving the city a permanent gift of the Old Fort Parade ground, and their home, which was adjacent to it. With this bequest, the city began rebuilding the pre-civil war fort and restoring the existing officer’s quarters. In 1962, D.J., Jane and their three children, Jake, Mahala and Hiram, moved to Austin, where he nourished his interest in ecology, range management, plant biology and genetic programming while engaging in scientific research at the UT Clayton Foundation Biochemical Institute in Austin. In 1982, he established the D.J. Sibley Centennial Professorship in Plant Molecular Genetics, the first endowed support for plant research at UT Austin. His other interests were music, ballet, art, history, genealogy and philanthropy. His lifelong passion for languages centered upon Spanish, but included Latin, German, Creek and Pidgin English. He was an active participant in the Austin Symphony, was keenly interested in the archeology of Texas and was a founding member of the Texas Rock Art Society, Bat Conservation International, the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute, Environic Foundation International and the Big Bend Studies Program at Sul Ross State University in Alpine. D.J. was proud of his heritage as a member of the Creek Indian Nation. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Jane Dunn Sibley; their son, Hiram, of Alpine, along with his wife, Liz, and their two children, Rachel and Christopher; Shiloh and Kiowa Sibley-Cutforth, daughters of Mahala Sibley; and Sarah and Elizabeth, daughters of Jake Sibley and their mother, Jan. Jake and Mahala preceeded him in death. His faithful canine friend, Priscilla, was with him at the end, along with Raul Moreno.

Kithil, Richard 1930 HS ~ 12-Sep-2004 died Sept. 12, 2004, in Tucson from the effects of a stroke. He was 92 years old. Born Dec. 6, 1911, in Morgantown, W.Va., he spent his childhood years in Denver, CO. together with his older brother Karlos and his younger sister Dollie. His father Karlos Ludwig Kithil was a geologist, miner and entrepreneur active during the Western Colorado discovery years of carnotite, pitchblend and other associated radium ores. His father’s correspondence with Mme Marie Curie on the experimental uses of radioactive minerals for health purposes is in the family archives. His mother, Edith White was the daughter of I.C. White, head of the Geology Department of the University of West Virginia and the discoverer of the syncline-antisyncline geologic theory used to locate petroleum reserves. In Denver, Kithil attended Morey Jr. High and East Denver High School, then got his diploma from the New Mexico Military Institute in 1930. He graduated from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, and attended the Carnegie Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, PA, with inorganic chemistry as his field of interest. He married Virginia O’Neill Stout in Ben Avon, Pa., on July 11, 1936. Kithil first was employed by the Union Carbide Chemical Co. in New York City. Later he joined the Carwin Co., North Haven, CN. as VP/Sales. After experimenting using the family stove, he refined the first formulary for polyisocyanurate insulating foam – today a widely used product in commercial, household and industrial insulation. Carwin was acquired by the Upjohn Co. of Kalamazoo, MI, and the family moved from the east coast to the Midwest. Kithil worked for Upjohn in international sales and marketing, traveling the globe establishing licensing and manufacturing operations. Kithil retired in 1968 and moved to Evergreen, CO. A self-proclaimed environmentalist, he was active in the Jefferson County Open Space movement, the anti-Olympics movement, and local civic affairs. He was a member of the Over-The-Hill Ski Gang and a card-carrying member of the League of Women Voters. He was an enthusiastic hiker and explorer of old mines. Kithil taught many of his grandchildren to ski while he was in his ’70s. He remained physically fit all his life. In 1985 Kithil and his wife moved to Tubac. He was an active citizen for water issues and other environmental subjects. He donated much of his time to Santa Cruz County, bringing a science-based perspective to public affairs forums. Kithil was a co-founder of the Tubac Monday Morning Hiking Club which explores the Southern Arizona desert country on foot. He enjoyed playing bridge. On Mondays when the Economist magazine arrived, he could not be interrupted for some 3-4 hours as he read it from cover to cover. He loved to learn and was very eclectic in his literary interests from Zane Grey to W.E.B. Griffin to Chemical & Engineering News. His accuracy, his keen memory and his insightful worldview made him an informed and interesting conversationalist on a variety of topics. Kithil was a lifelong epicure and gourmand, always keen to appreciate the Julia Child-like offerings prepared by his wife Virginia. He maintained that chocolate was one of the four food groups and moreover that it contained Theobromine, alkaloid molecules of the Methylxanthine family which are different from the caffeine, C8H10N402 found in coffee. With the exception of a one-time visit to Red Lobster, he never tucked into a meal he didn’t appreciate.

Taliaferro, Robert Young, Jr. 1930 JC ~ 19-Feb-2005, 93 of El Dorado, died Saturday, Feb. 19, 2005, at Susan B. Allen Memorial Hospital. Services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2005 at the Trinity Episcopal Church of El Dorado. Robert was born in El Dorado, July 19, 1911, to Robert Y. and Sadie (Van Cleave) Taliaferro. He graduated from El Dorado High School in 1928, from New Mexico Military Institute in 1930 and in 1932 from the University of Kansas, where he was a member of Beta Theta Pi Social fraternity and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa Scholastic fraternity. He graduated from Harvard University Law School in 1935.He was a life-long member of Trinity Episcopal Church, where he served on the Vestry for many years and a former member of the Rotary Club, the American Legion/Butler County and State Bar Associations. He served on the boards of the American Red Cross, Chamber of Commerce, and the El Dorado community Concerts, and the Library including the period when the library vacated the old Carnege white limestone building, built a new building and changed its name to that of its new benefactors, the Bradfords. Charles Heilmann and Robert established the Butler County Abstract Company shortly before World War II. Both of the men enlisted in the services and the business was closed until after the war, when they resumed its operation until 1971 when it was sold to the F.S. Allen Abstract Company, and Taliaferro worked for the Allen company until he suffered a heart attack on his 75th birthday, and prudently retired. He enlisted in the United States Navy in early 1942 as a Yeoman second class and was later commissioned a Lieutenant Junior Grade. He served aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Bibb and the USS TERROR where her survived a Kamikaze hit which inflected heavy casualties and sent the crippled ship back to the United States and Bob back to the Bibb. Bob then remained in the South Pacific Theater until the end of the war at which time he was honorably discharged as a lieutenant commander. Before he went overseas he was united in marriage Sept. 21, 1942, in St. Columbia’s chapel of the Episcopal Cathedral in Los Angeles, CA, with Florence Marie Columbia. Upon return to El Dorado at the end of the war the Taliaferro’s soon built a home at 619 W. First St. next to his place of birth. The hospital acquired that house about 10 years ago and the Taliaferros moved to 207 N. Denver, never staying more than one-and-a-half blocks from his birthplace. For a number of years he wrote a light-hearted column called Inklings for Jessie Perry Stratford’s Western Butler County News, and later for The El Dorado Times. He is survived by two nieces, Phyllis Doane Frisby (Ray) of St. Paul, MN, and Gretchen Guinn Smith of San Diego, CA; one nephew, Charles Guinn of Delmar, NY; three grand-nieces, Margaret Frisby Carlson (David), of Turtle River, MN, Susan Frisby Lee (Jim) of McIntosh, MN, and Ann Robertson McCullough (Don) of Strawberry Point, IA; six grand-nephews, James Doane Frisby of St. Paul, MN, Mark Smith of Thousand Oaks, CA, Eric Smith of Anaheim, CA. Lee Smith of Le Mesa, CA, John Guinn of Portland, OR, and Jeffery Guinn of Delmar, NY; and numerous great-grand-nieces and nephews.He was predeceased by his wife, Florence; his parents; two sisters, Margaret Doane and Lucile Guinn; one niece, Doris Doane Robertson; and one grand-nephew, Philip Robertson.

Memorials: In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to a charity of choice. Frederick Dickson Thompson was born Oct. 22, 1912, in Berkeley, CA, to Robert Andrew and Evelyne Dickson Thompson. The family moved to Texas in 1926 when his father became chief engineer and general manager of the Wichita County Water Improvement District. He attended schools in Cleburne, Wichita Falls and Highland Park before graduating from high school at New Mexico Military Institute in 1930. He graduated from the University of Texas (at Austin) with a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering, and married Mary Alice Rhea in December 1935. Upon joining his father-in-law, Cleaves Rhea, in the insurance and automobile finance business, they moved to Washington, DC, in early 1936 to establish the eastern branch office of Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO). In 1942, he joined the U.S. Navy, attaining the rank of lieutenant commander while serving as supply officer at Pre-Flight School-Chapel Hill, N.C., South Bend, Ind. and Naval Operations, Guam. Upon returning to Fort Worth in 1946, he rejoined his father-in-law in the ownership and administration of Government Employees Insurance Company, Government Employees Finance Company, North Fort Worth State Bank, Arlington State Bank, Fort Worth Lloyds Insurance Company and Roberts & Rhea Insurance Agency. In 1947, they chartered the South Fort Worth State Bank. When Government Employees Insurance Company was sold in 1948, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Rhea established the International Service Insurance Group, which, together with Government Employees Finance Company, provided automobile insurance and financing for U.S. military personnel through agents located throughout the United States. In 1959, these services were expanded to include agents in Great Britain, Europe and the Far East. South Fort Worth State Bank changed its name to Central Bank & Trust, and in 1980 Mr. Thompson established Texas Security Bancshares, which combined both Central Bank and Trust and North Fort Worth Bank into one organization. The insurance operations were sold in 1988 and the banking entities were sold to Norwest Bank (now Wells Fargo) in 1996. Mr. Thompson was a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Friar Society of the University of Texas, Jewel Charity Ball, the Steeplechase Club, Fort Worth Club, River Crest Country Club and Rotary Club of Fort Worth.

Cline, William A. 1928 HS ~ 22-Jun-2012 passed away on June 12, 2012 at the age of 101. He was born on July 21, 1910 to Henry A. Cline and Elizabeth Wooten Cline who had moved to Wharton from Woodville in 1899. Cline grew up in Wharton, attended New Mexico Military Institute, graduated from Wharton High School in 1927 and attended Texas College of Mines and Minerals, Columbia University and the University of Texas at Austin. Upon graduating from law school at Cumberland, TN, in 1931, at age 20, he began the practice of law with his father in Wharton. For many years Cline owned and operated Wharton County Abstract Company. His philosophy as a lawyer was to serve his clients in the most honest, efficient and proper way and to treat all peoples with respect and dignity. Cline was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Henry A. Cline Jr., and in 1945 by daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Cline. Cline’s gentle and beloved wife of 66 years, Margaret Farrar Cline, preceded him in death in 1997. He is survived by four children, William A. Cline, Jr,. And wife, Kathleen Kimbro Cline, of Wimberley; Margaret “Peggy” Farrar Cline Wood Marr of Galveston; Robert Campbell Cline Sr. and wife, Debi, of Houston; and Carolyn Cline Northington of Wharton. Also surviving are seven grandchildren, Scott Farrar Cline and wife, Hilary Hale Cline; Cathryn Cline Carolan; Margaret Anne Marr Elfstrom and husband, Antone; William L. Marr, IV, and wife, Jody Rasmussen Marr; Robert C. Cline, Jr.; Sarah Elizabeth Cline Wilkins and husband, Burke; Michael Monroe Bond; and step-grandchildren, Ricky Harris and Christopher Harris. Surviving great-grandchildren include William Barclay Cline, Hayley Newell Cline, Drew Henry Cline, Samuel Stewart Carolan, Benjamin Brian Carolan, Anna Lise Carolan, Mary Elizabeth Carolan, Cory John Marr, Cody William Marr, Quintan Dale Marr, Amelia Grace Marr, Aaron Allen Elfstrom, Marr William Elfstrom, Farrar Anne Elfstrom, Emily Faith Wilkins and Jackson Carter Wilkins. Also surviving is one great great grandchild, Reef Marie Elfstrom. Although exempt from the draft Cline joined the U.S. Army in 1942, graduated from the U.S. Army Officer Candidate School at Ft. Knox, KY, and was assigned as staff judge advocate in a 4th Army Tank Destroyer Division, Ft. Hood, where in 1944 he successfully defended the court martial of Lt. Jackie Robinson who later became a Baseball Hall of Fame player with the Brooklyn Dodgers. After the war Cline returned to his family and his law practice in Wharton and became involved in numerous civic projects. Before the war, he had served as Wharton County Democrat chairman, the first president of the Texas State Junior Bar Association, and a member of the State Bar of Texas Board of Directors. He held several offices in the American Legion, including Wharton post commander, district commander and state vice-commander. Cline was active in the Wharton Lions Club beginning in 1939, having served terms as president and director. Lions Club members attest to his quick wit as he delivered his investigative Report’s at weekly meetings. In 1960 Cline served an unprecedented second term on the State Bar of Texas Board of Directors. He was also a longtime member of the Wharton Chamber of Commerce and served as president of the Wharton County Red Cross and the Wharton County Historical Society. Cline was a faithful member of Wharton’s St. Thomas Episcopal Church where he served as senior warden in his younger days as well as several terms on the church vestry. He was an avid fisherman and woodworker and enjoyed traveling and dancing with wife, Margaret. Cline was recognized by many local citizens as the unofficial historian of Wharton County, his knowledge of local land titles, political and family histories being vast and interesting. Cline’s memory for details, events and places remained sharp throughout his life, often astounding friends and family. Although a student of history, Cline did not dwell in the past but lived his life for the present and future with a cheerful, uncomplaining and optimistic attitude.

The couple had moved to Captiva originally in the early sixties. Prior to World War II, Mr. Bancroft covered the nation’s capital for several news outlets, then left the business temporarily to join the U.S. Government’s Office of War Information. He served abroad in North Africa, Italy and Austria, and for his work as chief of News operations for psychological welfare, he received the U.S. Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award. After the war, Mr. Bancroft returned to Washington to become a CBS Radio correspondent and eventually to host two programs: “Face the Nation” and “Capitol Cloakroom”. Mr. Bancroft was the author of four “naturalist” books, one of which, Vanishing Wings, was a Junior Literary Guild selection which received the Christopher Award.

Bynum, Roy V. 1922 HS ~ 01-Dec-2014, 85, of Indianola, has departed this life for his next exciting journey. Because of the world’s continually changing landscape and Roy’s attention to precise detail it was always difficult to nail him down on exactly how many of today’s 196 countries of the world he had visited. But it is fairly accurate to say that Roy stepped foot on well over 160 world destinations on every continent, and several on multiple occasions. Roy Bynum defined the term “world traveler!” Roy Bynum, Jr., was the grandson of James H. Bynum who in 1889 at the age of 19 migrated to Indian Territory from Scottsboro, AL. James H. Bynum farmed, was a pioneer merchant and was the first Postmaster of Indianola, OK. James and his wife, Anna, had one son who lived only a short time but had three sons Fred, Elmer, and Roy, Sr., who carried on the family businesses including farming and ranching, dry goods merchants and other local business activities. The three Bynum sons in their own right were very much a part of the life and development of early Indianola. Roy Jr. attended school at Indianola before spending his high school years and graduating from the New Mexico Military Institute. Roy then attended The University of Oklahoma prior to his military service during the Korean War. After his military service Roy was employed first by the Internal Revenue Service in several locations through the country then in the Government Accounting Office also in several different locations nationwide. In the mid-1970s Roy then received an assignment to the then McAlester Naval Ammunition Depot, now MCAAP. He retired several years ago as the MCAAP’s Comptroller. Roy held memberships and participated in many civic, local, statewide and national organizations, most notably a long time member of the Board of Directors of the Southeastern Public Library System of Oklahoma, a 32 Degree Life Member of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, McAlester Rotary Club- Paul Harris Fellow, Oklahoma Historical Society, Pittsburg County Historical and Genealogical Society and Indianola Public Schools Alumni Association Board of Directors. In addition to Roy’s love of travel, historical preservation and education were extremely important to him. Roy was most happy, preserving, honoring and sharing with others his historical knowledge, experiences, and artifacts from just up the street or halfway around the world. In recent years Roy has created the Bynum Historical Foundation, to not only preserve the local, state and national treasures that he has amassed throughout his life, but to also share them with others and to benefit local and regional education and scholarship. Roy Bynum, Jr., was preceded in death by his parents, Roy Sr. and Ola (Dixon) Bynum; his sister, Gwendolyn Bynum Hurst and her husband, Robert; his uncle, Fred and aunt, Pearl, and their son, James; his uncle, Elmer and aunt, Grace, and their daughter, Anita Bynum Smith. And his nephew, Brad Nelson. Roy is survived by his niece, Sharon Nelson, of Los Angeles, CA; his cousin, Dr. Charles Ferrell and wife, Peggy, of Mesa, AZ, and cousin, Suzanne Smith Hirrel and husband, Marc, of Little Rock, AR, along with many special friends and extended family.

Hilton, Dr. Robert K. 1921 HS ~ 24-Jan-2005 a Litchfield Park physician since 1941, likely the city’s oldest citizen and a cousin of hotel magnate Conrad Hilton, father of pop starlet Paris Hilton — died Jan. 24, 2005, at the age of 102. Mr. Hilton was born Dec. 9, 1902, in Socorro, NM. He attended high school at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM, graduated from the University of Wisconsin and went on to Rush Medical College at the University of Chicago. After receiving his medical degree in 1929, Dr. Hilton worked for 12 years in the Arizona mining towns of Morenci, Clemenceau and finally Jerome, where he was one of the doctors on the staff of the United Verde Mining Company Hospital. It was during this period that he met his wife of 50 years, registered nurse Roberta Jensen. In 1941, Dr. Hilton brought his family to Litchfield Park and assumed the position of chief physician for Goodyear Farms and Goodyear Aircraft. When Litchfield Park founder Paul Litchfield decided the city needed a dentist, Dr. Hilton requested that Dr. George McMillan, his old friend and neighbor from Clarkdale, be brought on board. In 1944, Dr. McMillan did indeed move south — and the two doctors became not only the first two Litchfield Park residents other than Goodyear Farms employees, but the very first allowed to build residences that were not part of the farm operation. Their homes, built next door to each other, remain the first two structures north of Campbell Street off of Old Litchfield Road. Dr. McMillan died several years ago at the age of 95.Until their retirement in 1976, Dr. and Mrs. Hilton treated industrial and farm workers, guests of The Wigwam Resort, local families, expectant mothers and newborns. Meanwhile, Dr. Hilton also held various positions on the Litchfield High School Board of Education from 1943 to 1953. Dr. Hilton was preceded in death by his wife, Roberta, in 1986, and a son, Thomas Robert Hilton, who died in 1993. He is survived by two daughters, Nancy H. Huntley and Elizabeth H. Rouse; and two grandchildren.
