41 Wheelchair-bound as a result of wounds suffered in WWII, Harry H. Benner, AB’41, laments that he is “confined to the house.” Theodore E.

Retired since 1982 as the art teacher and department head at Waukegan High School, Everett P. Misunas, AM’41, maintains a working studio, The Mousehole, with his wife, Elizabeth Whitten-Misunas.

42 College alumni—Mary Lucene Price Miller, AB’43,  writes: Jane Sekema Rishel, AB’42, writes that she and Jean Riha Matousek, SB’42, visited campus last June for the Class of 1942 reunion and “celebrated with cocktails and dinner at the Quadrangle Club—a most happy event.” Theodore Fields, SB’42, has been teaching courses in the Miami area, including: Environmental Risks to Seniors, at Palm Beach Community College; Mammography Technology, at the University of Miami; and a course on “how to live longer, limberer, and livelier,” at the Indian Springs Country Club. Last fall, Harold R. Steinhauser, AB’42, MBA’43, took a trip to Scotland, where he planned to visit “historical places.” Joanne Kuper Zimmerman, AB’42, writes that her story “The Steep Hill” was included in the anthology An Intricate Weave; another story, “Going Away,” has also been published.
Here’s my report from last June’s reunion dinner: Seated at a table for eight were Donna Culliton Miller, AB’42, (my sister-in-law) from California, who sells real estate. Her daughter, Bunny, lives in Manhattan with her husband, who hails from South Africa. Miller’s son, Peter, is a sports photographer whose work frequently appears in Sports Illustrated; he lives in Manhattan Beach, CA. Marjory Hibbard Long, X’42, likes to travel and has shared many journeys with Clarabel (“Claire”) Grossman Goes, X’42. Marge helps manage a credit union in a western suburb of Chicago. I believe her children number five. John B. Riddle, AB’42, MBA’42, owner of a California company, who with Marge planned to visit the neighborhood where they had grown up, came alone as his wife was attending her college reunion. Claire Goes is the mother of two sons and one daughter. Son Arthur A. Goes, Jr., lives with his family in a Chicago suburb; son John and his family live in Idaho; daughter Janine and her family live in Utah. Claire served on the reunion committee; she also orchestrated a mini-reunion of eight other alumnae and one alumnus—her brother, Robert—for dinner at her home. Claire is actively engaged in the family business, Goes Incentives and Awards. Dorothy Wendrick (“Wendy”) Schulenberg, X’42, a lifelong resident of Beverly, IL, is pleased that her daughter Wendy is now a homeowner there. Son William C. Schulenberg, Jr., lives in Chicago with his family; daughter Karen lives in a Chicago suburb with her husband; and daughter Nancy lives in Omaha with her family. Mary Winton Green, AM’49, and her husband, David Green, AB’42, AM’49, have three children, all married, and five grandchildren. They spend time in Illinois and Florida. David is retiring from his business, Quartet Manufacturing, in Skokie, IL. The Greens have established the David and Mary Winton Green University professorship, and President Sonnenschein announced their gift at the reunion dinner.
I must add that the grandparents at the table did not attempt to add up the number of grandchildren represented. I am sure that more than two dozen could have been counted.

The couple has five children and eight grandchildren—“with more to come”—and in their free time, Feiler writes, “Ginny windsurfs, I sail, and we both downhill ski.” Feiler also does “a little research and inventing on the side” and hopes to join a Great Books course “when I retire—someday.” John M. Frank, SB’48, and wife Marjorie recently enjoyed a month-long holiday traveling around England and Scotland.
