Class Notes

1949 Iva Allan Larsen (see ’12).

1952 Tom Sarro died in April 2018 in Aldie, Virginia, writes his nephew, Paul Sarro. The son of immigrant parents, Tom was raised in the Greek Orthodox community in Jamestown, New York. The first in his family to attend college, he majored in chemistry, was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity, and played both basketball and baseball for the Yellowjackets. In 2007, he was inducted into the University’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Postgraduation, Tom served in the US Army for two years before earning a law degree at Georgetown University. He spent his career practicing intellectual property law before retiring from Larson & Taylor in Alexandria, Virginia, in 2001. His family shares this recollection: “A sports enthusiast to the end, Tom spent hours on the tennis court and golf course at Army Navy Country Club in Arlington and Palm Aire Country Club in Sarasota, Florida. His competitive spirit made him a formidable foe, which, combined with his wonderful wit, also made him a well-sought-after partner.”

1956 George Gold, profiled in Marquis Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who in American Law, writes that he is a recipient of the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award.

1958 Jerry Gardner ’65 (MA) sends a photo of his family taken late last year at the home of his son, Bradley ’96, and Bradley’s wife, Ida. Jerry and Bradley are in the back row. In front of them are Ida, Jerry’s wife, Pat, and their daughter, Anita. In the front row are Jerry and Pat’s grandchildren: Bradley and Ida’s children—Ella, 10, and Dylan, 7—and Anita’s daughter, Isabella, 7. . . . Joyce Timmerman Gilbert sends a photo of herself taken outside Carnegie Hall, signaling her lifetime passions of choral singing and travel. Starting with the Women’s Glee Club, she’s performed with the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus under conductor Robert Shaw (in Puerto Rico for the Festival Casals, in Carnegie Hall, and at the 20th anniversary of the United Nations), the Chicago Symphony Chorus, and the Eastman Rochester Chorus, which was singing at Carnegie with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra when the photo was taken in 2014. “What rich experiences for an amateur singer from a small upstate New York town who had the good fortune to study at the U of R and the Eastman School of Music,” Joyce writes. She and her husband, Richard, have lived in Rochester since 1970. After the children graduated from the Harley School in Rochester in the mid-1980s, Joyce became a volunteer for local, state, and national organizations, including Harley. “One of my ongoing commitments has been to Class of 1958 alumni activities, of course! But the most important reason that Richard and I stayed in Rochester when he retired after a 32-year ministry at Rochester’s First Unitarian Church is that our three grandchildren live here.” She adds, “Another joy of our lives has been hosting high school students from other countries. In 1968–69, two sisters ages 13 and 16 from then Czechoslovakia stayed with us for a school year. In 1985–86, we acquired a German ‘son.’ It’s really mind-boggling to realize our Czech ‘daughters’ are grandmothers. And it was a delight in July 2018 when three generations of the three families spent time together in Europe.” . . . Ed Kaplan shares the itinerary for the 60th Class Reunion, the Class of 1958 ‘Better Than Great’ Reunion. On Friday, October 5, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., the Class of 1958 60th reunion luncheon will take place at the Genesee Valley Club, 421 East Avenue.

On Sunday, October 7, the Class of 1958 farewell breakfast is from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Rochester. . . . Susan Storing Maybeck writes that she took her first European trip “in ages” this spring. She spent time in Amsterdam with her friend’s daughter and time in Oslo with her Norwegian daughter. “Three weeks of family time, breathing in nature, and time to read. Although I am 82, I’m ready for more traveling.”

1963 Roxann Reddick Bustos ’64 (MA) sends a photo from a chance encounter with another alumnus. Roxann writes, “While I was traveling in Panama recently, Nathaniel Deutsch ’73 noticed the University of Rochester symbols on the back of my cell phone case and started a conversation. We discovered that we graduated 10 years apart and are both thinking about attending this year’s reunion—55 for me and 45 for him.” . . . Roger ’68S (MBA) and Mary Genung Snell are celebrating two 55th anniversaries this year—their 55th wedding anniversary and their 55th class reunion at Rochester. They live in Plano, Texas, Mary writes, having moved to the state in 1976, when Rog joined Electronic Data System’s banking division. In 1980, he moved to J.D. Carreker & Associates, a bank consulting company, where he was a project manager working with most major banks in the United States. Ultimately, Rog was director of Delivery Services North America for Fiserv Inc., a US company that provides financial services technology to banks, credit unions, and other companies and retailers. He worked for their fraud and compliance group, Mary writes, “AKA, foiling the bad guys who attempt to defraud bank customers in North America. Prior to that he did the same work in England, Ireland, and the Netherlands for Fiserv. Rog chaired the U of R River Campus Alumni Board in 1979. In retirement, Rog is an avid bridge player and does genealogical research.” While living in Dallas, Mary chaired the Dallas–Fort Worth area’s Alumni Scholarship Committee and was a member of the U of R’s President’s Leadership Council. “While a stay-at-home mom, I was active in the League of Women Voters everywhere we lived, including in Plano. As the children grew I figured out ‘what I wanted to be when I grew up,’ so I went to graduate school, earned a master’s degree in education in counseling, and earned the appropriate state licenses. I worked about 15 years in hospitals and agencies, then 12 years in private practice.” Mary says that some of the couple’s many favorite U of R memories include “Sunday night’s pizza truck in front of the women’s dorm, sharing cokes (the beverage) on study breaks in the tunnel under Rush Rhees, hearing then senator John F. Kennedy speak at Strong Auditorium, classicist Elmer Suhr’s lectures on archaeology, parties, including with Carl Dengler’s band at Theta Chi, and all the wonderful people we came to know.” Along with other classmates and volunteers, Rog and Mary have been active in calling members of the Class of 1963 about plans for the 55th reunion during Meliora Weekend, October 4 to 7. “We discovered the U of R has outdated phone numbers and e-mail addresses for some of you. We urge you to check that your information with the U of R is current. You can contact Francine Capaldo Lynch, who is coordinating the Class of ’63 reunion. Francine can be reached at fclynch@alumni.rochester.edu or (877) 635-4672. We hope to see many of you in October!”

1966 Peter Greenberg sends a photo of a watercolor depicting Rush Rhees Library that he painted as a student while sitting on the quad in early winter. . . . Robert Schoenberg retired from the University of Pennsylvania last September after 35 years as the LGBT center’s founding director. The following month, the center’s home, a restored 19th-century carriage house, was named in his honor. Classmates Linda Bloch and Elaine Magidson attended the rededication celebration. Robert’s work at Penn was featured on the cover of the November-December 2017 issue of the Pennsylvania Gazette, the magazine of the university.

Barbara Bockelmann Rundell ’79 (PhD) writes: “After graduating from the U of R, I earned my MS in food science at Cornell University. I have been married to U of R classmate Doug Rundell ’77 (PhD) for 48 years. I was a member of the biology faculty at College of DuPage for many years and enjoyed my teaching career very much.

Since 2004, Andrew has been retired after serving for many years as a staff member of the cultural section of the public affairs department at the US Embassy in Budapest, Hungary, where he was in charge of cultural events and directly responsible to the ambassador. Since then, he has been “living and relaxing next to a nature preservation park in the northeast hills of Hungary.” He sends a photo taken with Arpad Gonz, who in 2000 was the president of the Hungarian Republic when Andrew was the coordinator for the US Embassy’s arts program in Budapest.

1971 Dave Skonieczki sends a photo of himself with Bob Mielcarz (left) and writes: “Despite becoming DKE brothers and Rochester football teammates over 50 years ago, I never watched Bob play golf until this spring. I even served as the former Yellowjacket golfer’s caddy in the New Hampshire Golf Association’s Senior Match Play Championship’s semifinal and final rounds in May. Of the 32 participants in the tournament, Mielcarz finished second and took home a beautiful runner-up cup. He beat the qualifying round’s medalist in the quarterfinals, and the No. 2 qualifier in the semis. In the finals, Mielcarz forced the winner, 11 years his junior, to play a full 18 holes of match play. Of course I boasted that, as caddy, I led Mielcarz to his exceptional finish! Then my wife reminded me that without my service over the years as his caddy, Mielcarz won the New Hampshire Amateur Golf Championship a state-record 11 times and the New Hampshire Senior Amateurs three times. Nevertheless, Bob and I celebrated on the Pease Country Club’s 19th hole. Although Genny Cream Ale wasn’t served, we did enjoy some of New Hampshire’s fine craft beer.” . . .
