The College

1950

Janet Gall ’50 just turned 90 years old, is writing her life story, and enjoying life in Decorah, Iowa.

1951

Doris Purvine Christensen ’51 and Jeanne Walker Cornwell ’51 are part of a “round-robin” group of Redlands alumnae who have been sending packets of letters to each other for more than 65 years. Susan Earle Brown ’52 devised the round-robin as a way to stay in touch with her friends in the Class of ’51 after they graduated. Jane Axon Lloyd ’51, Louise Shrader Paffhausen ’52, Evelyn Cline Rowland ’51, and Janet Apfel Weldon ’52 have been among the many members over the years. After Susan passed away, her husband, Frank Brown ’52, asked to become part of the round-robin and became the sole male member of the group. When a member receives the packet of letters, they remove their old one, write a new one, and send it on throughout the year. Doris and Jeanne also recently got together with Betty Hentschke Conly ’51, Janet Butler Lee ’51, and Carolyn Holcomb Thompson ’51 for a luncheon to give Betty best wishes on her upcoming move to Hawaii.

1953

Burt Chortkoff ’53 reports that his wife, Wilma, passed away on May 29, in Honolulu. She suffered a massive stroke in Kauai, their favorite vacation place. They were with their daughter, Dana, and two of their six grandchildren, Danielle and Lauren. They had lived in Santa Barbara for 30 years and would have celebrated their 63rd anniversary on Nov. 25.

Dick Crocker ’53 and Jo Kendrick Crocker ’53 celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary on Aug. 15. They enjoyed a 12-day trip to Iceland in July, and they found it to be a very interesting country.

He toured memorials to WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Air Force, Iwo Jima, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Bob also visited the National Cemetery, Navy Museum, and Lincoln Memorial. It was an inspirational trip honoring our military and national defense.

Arnie McCalmont ’53 and Becky McCalmont ’52 are doing all right. Arnie had back surgery to get rid of pain in his legs. He hopes to get back to flying airplanes soon, which he has been doing off and on for 71 years.

Ray Roulette ’53 and Gail Ruth Roulette ’54 celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in July with another trip to the Utah Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City with daughter Diane and granddaughter Colleen. They had lots of fun in Las Vegas along the way.

Bonnie Laws Smith Smiley ’53 reports her husband, Ken, passed away last February after their short but wonderful marriage of five years. Losing two husbands is hard but the memories are dear, and her life is good. She is still at the Garlands, a lovely retirement community in the Chicago area, with good friends, activities, and support. She would love to hear some news from others.

Bill Walcher ’53 enjoyed 47 delightful years with his wife, Barbara, before she passed away in May. It has been devastating. Their five children have been taking good care of him but clearly feel the great loss, too.

They also enjoy visiting his ski patrol director son and his family in Sun Valley, Idaho. Ron noted that either the tennis balls are moving faster now, or he is moving slower!

Mary Pierson Graw ’54 and husband Herb keep traveling as much as they can, as old age creeps up on them. In June, they traveled on narrow-gauge railroads in Colorado with Roads Scholar, a program that hosts educational experiences for adults. They also spent time with their son, Rich Graw ’89, and daughter-in-law, Leslie Best ’88. They also took a cruise on the Illinois River studying President Lincoln.
