Class of 1928 celebrates its 70th reunion on June 5–7, 1998. Ralph
M. Buchsbaum, SB’28, PhD’32, who celebrated his 91st birthday in January,
closed his “retirement business,” The Boxwood Press, to devote his
time to writing second editions of his books The Living Invertebrates
and Basic Biology. Nonagenarian Eloise Bailey Singer, PhB’28, goes
“to business” every day with her son, Col. Ralph Bowen; drives a car;
and writes, “I generally keep up with the crowd.” Singer has her grandfather’s
1876 diary, which tells how he courted her grandmother. After marrying,
the couple moved to Chicago and lived with their three children near
Jackson Park. Singer’s grandfather had an exhibit of pails in the
1893 Colombian Exposition. |

Evelyn B. Oppenheimer, PhB’29, notes that the first chapter of her
book A Book Lover in Texas (University of North Texas Press, 1995)
makes “much personal reference to the U of C.” |
