Launched at a big book-signing party May 5 in Palm Springs, Calif. In between, the book covers a tour in India, from the slums of Calcutta to royal palaces, and an international social life that is hard to believe, but there are plenty of pictures to prove it. We knew him as a wonderful storyteller with a marvelous sense of humor that came shining through his serious side.
In the years that followed our graduation, his love of CMC showed in his numerous alumni activities in hometown Portland, Ore. Among the many highlights were Sunday mornings with Fritz preparing his famous pancake breakfasts. It was quite the production as you can imagine, and the pancakes were great. His recipe remains a regular with us. Available on request. Grand times! We stayed in touch by phone. The agenda seldom changed: our spouses, our friends We loved talking about the Armyβand reminiscing about our somewhat embellished active-duty experiences.
Sadly, our very strongly held belief that peace and harmony would come to our country simply by requiring every year-old kid to serve three years in public service will never happen. This summer all 23 members of our large family joined us there for a week of fun, meals, hiking, and water play; 20 adults from 19 to 90, and three GREATS, a 1-year-old, a 2-year-old, and a 6-week-old, plus two dogs! The rest of the year finds us at a great retirement community, located in Claremont and Pomona, Mt.
San Antonio Gardens. Twenty-one members of this family live in Claremont, so we stay very happy and busy. John Baker and his wife, Dorothy, have moved closer to their family in Hudson, Wis. They are enjoying time with their daughter, grandsons, and three great-granddaughters. On a later Zoom call, they would be joined by Bart Brown. If any classmates want to join us for a future Zoom call, let Bob know.

His story is included in our class anthology, and since selling his businesses, they have been involved in local enterprises, including the building of their church and local museum of art. Pete attended CMC for two years and left to serve in the Army.
