Tersina DiPietro,
Editor January 2003
If you missed "BROTHERS
REUNITED 2002," you missed a positively magnificent event. The
warmth, joy and excitement of seeing so many great friends from our terrific
days at BMI was simply heart-warming. Of course, some of us were more
difficult to recognize than others after these many years. Nevertheless,
once again, if only for a brief time, we were truly a "Band of
Brothers," gathered to remember those wonderful and rewarding days at BMI
where the foundation of our lives was formed.
To the many of you who sent expressions of praise and appreciation to our
Executive Board for what you described as a "flawless reunion" and
the "best ever," we can only say that it was all of you, by your presence
and your comradeship, who made our reunion such a resounding success.
But now it's time to move on and "continue to march." So,
tentatively mark your calendar for "BROTHERS REUNITED 2004" scheduled
for a Saturday in October. And for those who are struggling to figure it
out, it will be in the year 2004! I expect it will be the latter part of
this year when we will lock in a specific date, at which time we will pass on
the word to all of you.
In the meantime, stay well, be happy and prosper.
Semper Fidelis,
Angelo V. Candelori

REUNION 2002. . .Revisited
October 19, 2002, was a cloudy day…with a few sprinkles in the morning and
early afternoon. But that did not dampen the spirits of the alumni who
converged on Bordentown that day. They gathered at motels, at local
restaurants, on the streets of the town…wherever they happened to be.
Many of them were first-timers, which means that they had not been back to
Bordentown since graduation. They were on a "high" all day and
well into the evening. Oh yes, Tom Brownback '65 wore his cadet
uniform.
By the time they assembled for the parade in the afternoon, they were rarin' to
go. They marched through the main streets of Bordentown sporting their
B.M.I. baseball caps. At the cadet statue on Park Street, there was a
brief ceremony honoring the former cadets who had died. In a sense they,
too, were present that day but only in the minds and hearts of their classmates
as Lydia Kugler, daughter of Lawrence Capitini '37, gave an inspiring rendition
of our National Anthem. Her father laid a wreath (designed and crafted by
Lydia) at the foot of the statue also in memory of those who had passed on.
That evening, everyone gathered at the Elks Lodge for a wonderful dinner and
much socializing. After dinner, there was music for dancing and just
plain good listening as tunes from the '50s and '60s brought back many happy
memories. Walt Godwin '44 was honored for his efforts in locating
"lost" alumni. Ray Fulton '44 had rescued a brick that was
removed when the posts at the entrance to the B.M.I. campus were dismantled to
retrieve the time capsule several years ago. He had the brick inscribed
and presented it to Walt during the dinner.
Classes with members in attendance were: 1937, 1938, 1944, 1945, 1947,
1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961,
1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, and 1973.
One of the highlights of the evening was the Old Boys Drill. The
"old boys" did a fairly decent job obeying commands, although there
were a few goofs that generated plenty of laughs from wives and guests in
attendance.
Pictures were taken and will be placed in albums to be sent to those who
ordered them. Memorabilia were displayed for alumni to peruse at their
leisure. The Company Store was open so that attendees could purchase
sweatshirts, etc.
If you were there, we thank you for your presence. If you were absent, we
missed you but look forward to seeing you in 2004.
CLASS NOTES
'40 MERLE HAGEN lives in
Melbourne, FL. He received an AB from Dartmouth College, an MBA from the
Amos Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth, and a Ph.D. from Syracuse
University. He served in the Navy in WW-II and Korea. He retired
after 30 years as Captain in 1972. He was a Professor at New England
College, Henniker, NH, until his retirement in 1989. Merle is married and

'43 BILL WITTNEBERT wrote to say that ANDREW OLEJER is living in Texas. Andrew would like to hear from all interested "old boys," especially those around the Class of 1943.
'44 WALT
GODWIN continues to search for
"missing" alumni. Walt and the members of his class who
attended Reunion 2002 discussed the subject of an off-year reunion in
Connecticut for alumni in that area. Walt will keep us posted as plans
materialize.
DICK
ROCKWELL wrote to inform us of the
death of GEORGE BONHAM, SR., on 27 December 2002. Dick writes,
"George attended our reunion in October and had a wonderful time!
Those of us who were his classmates, played football with him, walked off
demerits with him, sneaked out with him the night before graduation, and had
his close friendship for 60 years will miss him greatly."
'45 PAUL BRAY writes,
"The reunion was terrific. Do hope to make the next one in two
years."
'46 In a letter from JULIAN (JAY) BERMAN, we learned that he visited Bordentown in November. He said, "I had often wondered if B.M.I. existed and was never able to get the information." Jay wrote that his principal occupation since he retired in 1992 is riding his bicycle. He spent 41 years in purchasing and manufacturing management in the semiconductor and electronics industry after graduating from USC in 1951. He also spent two years in the army. Jay lives with his wife Nancy in Rossmoor in Walnut Creek which is in the east bay of the San Francisco area. He informed us that his B.M.I. roommate, MALCOM SPINRAD, died in October.
'47 CHUCK ECCLES writes,
"I attended B.M.I. for five years and have nothing but positive memories
of the entire experience there. To my own surprise, I can recall many
details of friends, teachers, coaches, etc….B.M.I. truly was a special
place."
'50 PAUL EDMAN and
his wife attended BOB MARQUARDT's funeral in September. Bob, Dick
Enegren and Paul roomed together in the "three-man room, half of which was
on the White House rear porch" during their senior year.
HARRY
(BUD) HOWE "found" EDWARD
(EDUARDO) TOMAS and told him about our Association. Edward wrote to
say that he lives in Miami, FL, with his wife Mireya. They have four sons
and three grandchildren.
ED NARATIL e-mailed us to say "thanks to all who worked hard to set
up the 2002 alumni reunion." Ed wrote, "The Elks Club setting
was nice, the waiters and bartenders were friendly, and the location was very
easy to get to. I will be looking forward to the affair in 2004. My
spouse will also be attending, even if I have to hog-tie her."
In writing about Reunion 2002, BOB SAMUELS said, "Thank you for a
wonderful evening. My daughter and her fiancée enjoyed seeing the
festivities at Bordentown, which meant so much to me during my many years as a
cadet. They have heard me speak about these places, individuals and
memories for years and the day brought these recollections and stories to life
for them. Thank you for my reunion."
HOWARD SHERMAN was in Bordentown recently and had lunch with the Alumni
Association Board members. "The General" now lives in Florida
with his wife Sally but he makes a "pilgrimage" to this area
periodically so that he can visit the Statue Site and walk through the streets
of Bordentown. Howard served as President of the Alumni Association until
October 2000.
'51 PAUL MARTINEK wrote
to say that he will greatly miss FRED AND LARRY COHEN who died
recently. They were Paul's roommates in Beldon House during their Junior
and Senior years.
'52 DONALD FOLSOM learned
of the B.M.I. Alumni Association from his brother DICK '49.
He says, "Sorry I didn't know about the reunion sooner. Maybe next
time."
RALPH SCHAMEL lives in Salt Lake City, UT. He attended Cornell
University…graduated in 1957…active military service as Second and First
Lieutenant until 1959. He retired from Utah Department of Transportation
after 33 years as an Environmental Engineer. Traveled to Europe and South
Seas since his retirement. Ralph is married to a Cornell grad. They
have 4 children and 5 grandchildren. Ralph bicycles 2000-3000 miles per
year.
'54 GEORGE
PHILLIPS recently joined our
Association. He owns Busch's Seafood in Sea Isle, NJ, so if any alumni
are in that area, stop in to chat with George.
'57 LOU PIETOSO writes,
"The Reunion over the October 18 weekend put me and my wife on another
planet! It was sensational and extremely rewarding. What a
wonderful warm feeling to be with such a great group! We were fortunate
to have a table of five classmates from our '57 class. My wife and I had
a special treat on the Sunday morning after the dinner. We happened to be
in the same diner as a group from the Class of '44. It was part of that
group that was among the 'Original 7' and we had the privilege of thanking them
for starting this whole thing."
DOM
RUGGERIO and his wife Janice have
been married for 37 years and have four children and one granddaughter.
Dom writes, "Our time in the Army had us in Germany, Korea, Vietnam,
Budapest, and stateside. I served in four great Divisions (1st
Cavalry, 2d Armor, 2d Infantry, and the 101st Airborne) and had the
honor of commanding at every level from Platoon through Brigade. I was
commanding the 1st Battalion 72d Armor in Korea when Park Chung Hee
was assassinated in 1979. Very exciting times! I continue to keep
up with the 72d…and have the honor of being the Honorary Colonel of the
Regiment."
MICHAEL STERNICK officially joined our Association recently. He
lives in Clifton, NJ, and is with Flores and Sternick in Paterson, NJ.
'58 J. R. ARTHUR
sent an e-mail: "We were looking forward to making this year's
reunion but due to illness we had to change our plans. I also missed my
40th USNA reunion and a reunion with my first aviation squadron due
to the medical problems of my daughter and mother-in-law that were all
scheduled in the same time period. 'Twas a bad autumn, but things seem to
be back on track now. Daughter is back at work and mother-in-law is back
to giving me minute-by-minute instructions as to how life should be lived, so I
am once again a happy man. I swear that one day I shall play the pipes at
the reunion."
ALAN ORENBERG was unable to attend Reunion 2002 because he recently
started a new job. "But," says Alan, "I am pleased to have
reestablished the B.M.I. connection."
'59 JERRY ALEXANDER says, "Thanks again for such a successful
reunion. I had not been back since graduation in 1959. If anything
ever comes up during the 'in-between' two years, please let us know. See
you in 2004…Lord willing."
"My best to all," wrote MARK (CLAUDE) MANLEY. "I
think of B.M.I. from time to time and was glad to have attended. I am the
Pipe Major of The Highlands Brigade Pipe Band out of Lake Placid, FL."
When DON SPAETH retired in December 2001, this was part of the tribute
paid to him: "Don Spaeth worked for Pinelands Water & Wastewater
Companies since 1988. When it came time for meter reading, Don would
always be called on to locate the irrigation meters that others couldn't
find. Usually these were the meters that were under the birdbath or
flowerpot. He was always first on the scene during water main
breaks." Don was also a volunteer for the Hampton Lakes Fire
Department for over 35 years.
'60 BRUCE FAULKNER
resides in Lakeland, FL. Bruce writes, "Joined the USAF right out of
B.M.I.…went back to school to major in accounting. Worked for Ernst &
Ernst in Providence and then spent some time with ITT and RCA."
Currently Bruce is Plant Controller for Publix Super Markets in Lakeland.
He has two children and three grandchildren. Bruce and his wife restored
automobiles and showed them for many years. He said his garage "is
lined with over one-hundred trophies." Says Bruce, "We were
published in seven US magazines, three European and graced about eighteen
calendars. Had pictures in Collectible Automobile twice."
DANIEL
LARUSSO, D.O., F.A.C.O.E.M., is
Medical Director of the Occupational Medicine Department at Massillon Community
Hospital in Massillon, OH. He writes, "I have nothing but good
memories about B.M.I. It provided an environment that allowed cadets to
learn to think on their feet, express their thoughts and develop leadership
skills and character. It was also a time for fun. I can still
recall the late night raids that Dave Jessup, Bob Frisbie and I would make to
the dining hall! That was, of course, before we all assumed leadership
roles at B.M.I." Dan attended Fairleigh Dickinson University in
Madison, NJ, and then went to medical school in Philadelphia. He and his
wife have four grown children.
RON NEUBAUER received a BS in Management at Purdue University, an MA in
Human Resources Management at Pepperdine University, and did graduate work in
Criminal Justice at The American University. He is currently employed
with the U. S. Department of Transportation, Transportation Security
Administration as Deputy Director of Cargo Security. Ron retired as a U.
S. Marine Lieutenant Colonel with 21 years of active service. He also
served as a Presidential Aide.
'61 AL FIELDS responded
to JERRY KRAWITZ's request for catch-up from alumni. Al
tells us that in the mid '70s, he and his wife visited the old B.M.I.
campus. He said, "Old Main was still standing and we wandered around
visiting familiar rooms (to me). In Señor Colby's room, I found my
initials carved, along with many others, on the side blackboard. A
long-ago, almost forgotten world ignited my memories…a very pleasant journey
back. The legacy of B.M.I. includes Old Main, Landon Hall, the 'Y' Hut,
Dr. Smith and all the teachers who had that special ability to reach out.
Perhaps the Cadet Statue standing in front of where Old Main once stood
represents that legacy. But for me, the real legacy is intangible.
B.M.I. took a kid who 'knew it all' but was lost and changed his life. My
family was not in the 'Ozzie & Harriet' category, but they had enough love
and foresight to invest in my future through B.M.I. Thank you,
B.M.I.!" Al teaches an evening GED course. He remarks,
"…I've encountered students of all ages who could have had that chance,
that opportunity, had a B.M.I. been available. This is the real legacy of
B.M.I. I'm sad that Old Main is gone, along with all those special
teachers who shaped our
lives. But I am most sad because the real legacy is no longer there for
those who just need a little nudge, or push, in the right direction."
ED FINKLE is the Director of Operation for PEF Travel Corporation, a
division of the New York State Public Employees Federation. He has been
in contact with several classmates from '61. "PETE ROTH drove
his yacht up to Albany," says Ed, "and we had a great
reunion." Ed ordered a B.M.I. sweatshirt and baseball cap.
"My kids think it's a real throwback into ancient history," says Ed.
NORMAN
KIRSCHBAUM was in Anchorage, Alaska,
at the time of Reunion 2002 so he was unable to attend. He is the
Long-Term Care Coordinator for a hospital in Petersburg, Alaska, an island in
the middle of a rain forest. Says Norman, "If any of the old cadets
from '61 come up this way, I'll be glad to take good care of you!"
JERRY
KRAWITZ writes, "I started at
the University of Pennsylvania and then finished college at the University of
Bridgeport (closer to home) in order to help my father run the family businesses."
From there, he went to law school in Boston. He is married and has three
children ages 23 to 33. Jerry worked for Price Waterhouse for a time and
then became a CPA and opened his own practice in Connecticut. He attended
Reunion 2002, following which he started "chain messages" with BMI
alumni from his era. Jerry says of the Reunion, "…it was a
nice experience and the memories and stories still ring out. My wife and
I enjoyed the trip and the dinner and can only hope that those who didn't get there
can plan to be in Bordentown in 2004. I, for one, can only say that it is
worth the time and effort. With the school only a memory, the memories
and esprit de corps of the old timers make it a very nostalgic experience…the
years melt away and the stories become all that more precious."
RICHARD
PEPPLER attended Reunion 2002 all the
way from Tennessee. Dick is the Dean of the College of Graduate Health
Sciences, and Associate Dean of the College of Medicine at The University of
Tennessee in Memphis.
GEORGE
SINKANKIS wrote at the urging of JERRY
KRAWITZ. George attended Franklin & Marshall College for one year
and then transferred to San Diego State College. He received a Master's
Degree in Library Science at the University of Pittsburgh. He also earned
a Ph.D. in Library and Information Science. George joined the faculty of
the School of Library and Information Sciences at the University of Tennessee
in 1975 and retired from there in 1998. George states, "Bordentown
turned out to be perhaps the most important experience in my life…and provided
the guiding principles that literally saved me when the going got rough.
'Rather Be Than Seem' was etched in my heart and was always the grail before me
as I tried to live it in later years. I was a mess when I went (to
BMI). My sincerest apologies to all the guys in the dorm whose Sunday
mornings were screwed up by me being late during the week. Maybe it's
some consolation to know that I'm never late anymore." George and
his wife have been married for 36 years and have one grown son.
'62 In a holiday message from BOB
MACARI, we learned that he volunteers at a local hospital in northern New
Jersey. Bob says, "Knowing that we make a difference, provide help
and give people something to look forward to is all so very gratifying."
'63 A family situation prevented TOM
ASHLEY from attending Reunion 2002. Tom says, "Next year
will be my 40th reunion so I will make a special effort to
attend." Tom has been working in the chemistry field in nuclear
power for over twenty years. He has a wife and one daughter who will be
graduating this year with her MD. "Our biggest avocation,"
writes Tom, "has been sailing. We have covered a lot of miles in the
past 25 years."
MARK
GOLBY is the CIO at Edelman Public
Relations, the largest independent PR firm in the world. Mark says,
"Thanks for your good work."
MICHAEL JOYCE attended Reunion 2002 with his wife. Later, Mark
wrote, "Knowing the school was no longer in existence left a big hole in
my childhood memories. Finding the Alumni Association brought a real
sense of closure to that chapter of my life. Thanks for keeping the dream
alive!"
STEVEN SAGAL writes, "After BMI, I went on to the University of
Toledo, then into the world of communications as a special projects engineer
for Motorola, designing and developing radio and communications systems for law
enforcement and government agencies. Late in the '70s, I moved to Florida
to develop and construct interconnect systems for mobile telephone
operations. Since the early '80s, I have been involved in cellular and
data design and construction. I am also heavily involved in the Masonic
Fraternity. BMI played a definitive role in my life, shaping the future
for me and giving me the fortitude and principles to accomplish that which I
have to date. Let's all keep it going; we have a heritage that is second
to none."
BERNARD SANSARICQ had made plans to come to Reunion 2002 but due to a
family emergency was unable to attend. Expressing his disappointment,
Bernard wrote, "While I could not be in Bordentown with you, I lived every
moment all over again thinking back to Reunion 2000 as if I were there and I
relived each moment of every hour last Saturday." Over the years,
Bernard has kept in touch with several of his classmates. He spent an
evening in Caracas with JOSE GONZALES '62 back in the '70s. Jose
manages one of the most important textile factories in Venezuela and markets a
line of clothing for children called "Cabrito." Bernard invites
all alumni who might be in South Florida to contact him. He wrote,
"BMI cadets are special people and we have something in common that very
few other schools have."
'64 ALAN SITT writes that his son came across the BMI website.
Alan graduated from The Citadel and lived in Peru for forty years. He is
now semi-retired and lives in Hawaii but still works full-time as a glider tow
pilot on Oahu.
'65 "2002 was an eventful year for
me," writes BOB OGUS. "I had my left hip replaced and
took off from work for nearly four months of rehab…and a major overhaul
(read…weight loss). Result: the new hip is great and I lost 50
pounds! Unfortunately, I found 12 of them in December. So 2003 will
see a continuance of the campaign to lose weight. This year will also
include my retirement from civil service after 34 years of combined Army
service, Army and Navy civil service. I retire as a GS14 with a buy-out
from the Navy that sweetens the end of this career." Bob is looking
for a Program Management job in Orlando, FL. Bob asks that alumni
visiting that area give him a call.
'66 Another grateful alumnus is JOHN
MARSTON. He wrote, "Thanks for the great job you do with the
Alumni Association, the website, and the newsletter."
A note from the wife of BILL MORRIS tells us that they were married on
18 July 2002. Bill was excited to hear about the Alumni
Association. The newlyweds spend their time travelling between the US and
West Africa (Liberia and Ivory Coast).
'69 LARRY KOPEC writes, "I
stumbled across this website." Larry is Management Analyst at the
New Castle County Court House in Wilmington, DE.
GARY
WEISBERG wrote, "Great job on
the Skirmisher and all communications to alumni." (Gary is a
faithful attendee at all of our Reunions.)
'70 WILLIAM ARMELLINI is Vice President of Wholesale Sales of Superior Florals, Inc., in
Florida. William lives in Miami Springs, FL.
BRUCE
HUBSCHER is a Broker/Sales Associate
with Weidel Realtors in Hamilton Square, NJ. Bruce was a member of the
NJAR Million Dollar Club 1998-2001.
Another
alumnus who "stumbled" across our website is BRUCE MIRRA.
Bruce lives in Dagsboro, DE.
JIM
PARCELS, Maj., USAF, Ret., writes,
"Like so many others, I have the fondest memories of BMI: Dr. Smith,
LTC Bradman, 'Top' Conradi, Mr. Hartpence (Go – Go – Go!!!) to name just a
few. My best wishes to all of the BMI Family."
'71 HORACE "J" ORR
writes that he has "fond and vivid memories of all my days at BMI and I
must say that since the final closing, I was afraid that I would never see the
day that I could share time with the friends and people I grew close to in the
four years I was there. I was excited when I found out there were
reunions happening." (He would like a picture of the plaque
of the John Phillip Sousa Band Award. Can any alumnus provide that?)
JIM REBER states that he now lives in Florida and it is difficult to get
up to NJ for the reunions. Jim is the Rector at Trinity Church, Reformed
Episcopal, in Maitland, FL.
'73 BRIAN
KENYON wrote in September, "I am
currently finalizing a three-year assignment overseas with my company and will
be back stateside after November." He couldn't make Reunion 2002 but
he looks forward to Reunion 2004. Brian is Senior Director, Marketing
& Sales, NPR Purchasing Services.
SMALL WORLD
HARRY HOWE '50 has been going to New York Jets football games since
1969. Harry writes, "The man who sits behind me and I have become friends
over the past three years…he usually is at the first two or three games and
then heads to Florida for the warmer weather. Today, my wife and I drove
to Stuart, FL, to visit him and have lunch. We got to swapping stories
and when I told him that I had gone to BMI…lo and behold!…he told me that his
brother had gone there also. His brother always was at the games with
him; we had all talked; however, I knew nothing of their personal lives.
His brother's name is HIRAM SAM SHLIMBAUM and he attended BMI for the 9th
and 10th grades in 1943-45. Anyway, I just finished talking to
him and we swapped many stories about BMI…the teachers, Old Main, etc. He
told me he was a member of the Landon Rifles when he was there."
HARRY PUTNAM (ROTC
FACULTY) wore his BMI cap to a
function recently. A fellow came up to him and asked him if he had
attended Bordentown Military Institute. The gentleman was DOMINIC
FEDERICI '64. Harry told him about the Alumni Association and Dominic
is now a member. He resides in Maple Shade, NJ.
I REMEMBER....
I
will never forget my most recent visit to BMI in 1966. I had just
returned home from a tour in Vietnam and visited the campus in dress blues as a
Sgt. in the USMC. I was welcomed, fed lunch, introduced and, on campus,
saluted. When I asked the cadets that saluted me why, as I was not an
Officer, they replied, "Because we wanted to, Sir." I remain
proud of BMI.
MARK (CLAUDE) MANLEY '59
Good Better Best, Never Never Rest, Until Your Good is Better and Your Better
Best…WOW! I will NEVER forget that until the day I die. What a
personal legacy to pass from generation to generation and to think we were all
a part of it. Now that is SPECIAL! My best to all!
