From Bob Hoyt, 6/8/23:  I received a letter from Carolyn Schmidt that her husband, Richard Donald Schmidt, Jr. born June 27, 1930, died February 26th, 2023.  Dick is survived by his wife and one son, three daughters and six stepdaughters.  I saw him last at our 70th Reunion.  This spring I’ve had two 5 days stays at Paoli, PA, Hospital due aspiration pneumonia.  After discharge the 2nd time I was sent to my Dunwoody Village Care Center where I stayed for another 2 weeks and 2 days so that I could regain my strength and be discharged to Dunwoody’s Indecent Living.  I am planning to leave for my Nantucket summer home on June 25th where I hope to stay until shortly after Labor Day, my health allowing.  I am ever hopeful that with a new head football coach, Lehigh will return to our former football status.  The past four years have been agony.  Bob. – Editor’s comment: I checked with Bob, “Indecent” was a spell-check error, not intentional.  June 2023

Bob Arndt checked in:  I made a solo trip to France in May 2023 to see families that I knew when I was stationed at Chinon Engr. Depot, 1953-54, in the Loire Valley near Tours.  This was about my 6^th trip.  The French population seems a little more disciplined than us.... there is no trash along the major roadways and I did not see any trucks collecting it, there are no big fences on highway overpasses to prevent people from throwing rocks on cars below, I did not see violence programs on TV such as Dateline or people settling their issues with guns.  I also took a trip to the South of France on TGV high speed rail to see some families that had moved there.  So all in all, it was a wonderful 2 week trip at age 92 that I will not be able to repeat unless I have a full time agent to handle my baggage, car rental and smartphone.  Votre amie (Your friend) Bob.  July 2023
