13 Feb 2024 We find that Georgiana McNaughton Snow died in Missoula, Montana, on August 3, 2023. A Find-A-Grave page has been created.

06 Dec 2022 The 1950 US Census has recently been released, and we have been able to find information on many members of the Class.

He received a degree in Political Science and Spanish from Miami University of Oxford, Ohio, in 1964 where he also was a member of the golf team. After graduation, Tom entered the Naval Educational and Training Center at Newport, RI, where he became an officer and earned the rank of Lieutenant. During the years of his enlistment, 1964-1968, he served on board the U.S.S. Forrestal and served in Vietnam for six months. Upon discharge from the U.S. Navy, Tom moved to Indianapolis, IN.

As he battled cancer the past seven years, he was able to continue his work from home. His courage, strength through adversity and optimistic outlook will always be an inspiration to others.

Tom will be missed and remembered fondly by his family, brother-in-law, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends from University High School, Miami University, the Navy and former business colleagues. Survivors include his daughter and grandson; mother Carol Hudson of Bloomington, IN; and two sisters Marilyn Tribbett (UHS '63) (Jeff) of Lebanon, IN and Julie Hudson of Indianapolis, IN.

9/16/05 Ingrid Winther Scobie writes: "This is a great idea. I recently attended my 45th High School Reunion and it was wonderful to see the love and respect that people had for each other. After 30 years in the academic world, the last 20 as a professor of history at Texas Woman's University specializing in American women's history, I retired early to explore a life as an artist. I recently completed an undergraduate degree at the School of Visual Arts, University of North Texas with a focus in watercolor painting. I show and sell my work. But I don't do this full time. I am also a part-time Executive Director of the Visual Arts Society of Texas. I have four children -- NH, NC, and Texas and 5 grandchildren. So I spent time making the circuit! I appreciate the education I received at UHS and the good basis it gave me for future formal education. I also am happy to learn that once we all grew up, we are a pretty great lot of people!
8/21/05 Here's a 1948 Elm Heights Photo wou don't want to miss! (Thanks to Robin Bridwell,'64). Please help identify the unknowns for us. Email Margaret Olson with IDs.

8/18/05 Raymond Schneider writes: "Great web page!! glad to see so many classmates that have pulled together to make a very interesting and informative site. Definately going to be bookmarked! Fortunately I received the upcoming UHS newsletter after someone was able to track down my home address. Wish I had found the website earlier so I could have attended the last reunion in July of this year.

Anyway, am doing fine, still working for the Florida Department of Health, doing lots of boating in the Gulf of Mexico and of course dodging the numerous hurricanes. Fortunately, our home was not damaged from Hurricane Charlie last year even though we were only 4 miles from the eye. However, massive destruction all around us. Will try to get some photos together to send. More later, stay in touch. Raymond Schneider

Reunion Information

March 4-5, 2006 1960 Mini-Reunion Dave Campaigne writes:

This is the first announcement of our mini class reunion to be held the weekend of March 4th. Lucy Merritt Williams and I are working together to coordinate this event. We’re still in the idea stage at this time so everyone will be on their own for accommodations. However, someone who is a skilled internet shopper may be able to find condominium or other accommodations and send the word out to the group.

Fort Myers will be our destination, and Southwest Airlines flies there so low fares should be available. If fares are considerably lower to Tampa, let me know and I’ll pick you up at the airport. If you want to visit Tampa, you’re welcome to stay with us. Sanibel and Captiva Islands are gorgeous and just off the coast of Ft. Myers. We’re sort of designing the airplane while we fly it across the ocean, but we’re thinking of lunch and dinner on Saturday 3/4 with golf, tennis, and sitting around the pool scheduled between lunch and dinner. Once we start to get a sense of who is coming, we can begin to make other arrangements and plans for Friday and Sunday.

Lucy forwarded me some motels in the area. No endorsement implied, they are just some places she says look new and are located between her condo and the airport.
Best Western Airport Inn: 239.561.7000
Country Inn & Suites Airport: 239.454.0040
Courtyard by Marriott: 239.275.8600
Hampton Inn Airport: 239.768.2525
Residence Inn by Marriott: 239.936.0110
VRBO.com is a great way to find condos.
