 Tom's Biography

Home Boom Representative, Honor Roll, Usher Squad, Ways and Means Squad.

8th Grade

Hi Bill, I had my parents memorial service on Friday.   They are both now inurned at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Joliet, IL.   I'm sure the list of Mt Lebo 48 graduates is dwindling every day...Dave  - May 2019

M. Thomas Arganbright, Jr,    88, passed away peacefully at the Moorings in Arlington Heights on October 20, 2018.

Tom was born on August 28, 1930 in Pittsburgh, PA to Marion, Sr. and Helen Holden Arganbright.  He graduated from Mt. Lebanon High School in 1948 and Grove City College in 1952 while still living in western Pennsylvania.  At the time of his graduation, the nation was embroiled in the Korean Conflict, and he enlisted in the US Army.  During his military service he was stationed in Germany with the Counter Intelligence Corps, which was part of the US Army's Occupation Forces of West Berlin.

Upon returning home, he began his occupational career with Alcoa Aluminum in their Cincinnati, OH sales office.  It was in Cin­cinnati that he met and married Carolyn Cun­ningham on December 26, 1959.  His association with Alcoa eventually led him back to the headquarters in Pittsburgh.  While there he had the distinction of becoming the last Marketing Manager for the popular consumer-foil product "Alcoa Wrap" before its discontinuance in 1975.  After moving to Arlington Heights in 1976, Tom then continued his career in the petroleum-by­products industry, working progressively for Exxon Chemical Americas, American-Western Corporation and finally, Carlisle plastics.  He retired in 1992.

In retirement, Tom and Carolyn developed an appreciation for artwork from the French "Belle Epoque" period and soon amassed a large gallery of original etchings in their home, which they enjoyed sharing and discussing with their many friends.  Tom was also a life-long Philatelist, community singer, lover of the Opera, and an avid sports enthusiast.  Active in community affairs, he ran a local investment club and served as Vice President of the United Way of Arlington Heights.  In his later years, he always found time to watch his favorite Hawks and Bulls play.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Carolyn, sister Nancy (Bob Osborn), two children, David (Margaret) and Lynn (Jim Kreher) of Philadelphia, 5 grandchildren and 2 greatgrandchild.

I find it difficult to type with tears in my eyes at the loss of Tom, but the joy of having known him for over 70 years makes my heart sing as I was blessed to have been his friend.  Ton was a great help on this web site over the years.  He will be missed by many - Bill Erdman - October 21, 2018

Tom writes:  As my last email advised, we moved last December to the Moorings retirement home here in Arlington Hts.   We have a large villa with five rooms & 2 baths on main level with 2 car garage plus finished basement where I have my office.   It is a very nice setup and we had 4 friends that already lived here.    

The neuropathy in my legs  restricts my getting around somewhat and I usually use a cane or walker.   I did pass my driver’s test in August but the instructor suggested I not take any long trips.   Since I was not in shape to make a 65th reunion, count me out for a 70th.   Can’t imagine why anyone is willing to work on a reunion for 88 year olds.   Tom  - October 2013

Thanks for looking for me.   We moved on December 12th and previous phone disconnected.  New phone no. is 847-956-2870 and address is 1023 S. Moorings Dr., Arlington Hts., IL 60005.   We have a villa at The Moorings, a Presbyterian Retirement  Home.   

I talked with Don Martin’s wife (Don is deceased now) and he is still suffering some from his stroke  but is getting along OK.    In Nov., my 9 year old computer’s mother board crashed and I had to get a new computer and so far haven’t been able to reconstruct my email address book.   Tom – December 31st, 2012

Wow, I thought 60 years might be the end of reunions.   I'm not sure I can accomplish the massive effort I put forth in 2008 in locating lost or deceased class members.   Five years have taken some toll on my energy and Carolyn says I've gone downhill.   We are in the process of moving later this year to a villa in a local retirement home and the move would have been much easier if we'd done it 5 years ago.   I've lost some strength in my legs and there is much to do in cleaning out the accumulation of 36 years of stuff in this house.   For the next few months, I won't have much time to look for lost classmates on the internet.    Until we move, Carolyn dictates what I'm to work on.   We don't have firm move date as we're having some remodeling done and finishing the basement but earliest might be early November.   The reunion is 11 months from now and once you have a new list of those "lost", I may be able to search for some of them after the first of the year.  Cheers to all the reunion committee and there is no mystery that all of you are as old as I am!  As always,   Tom - September 2012

In answer to an E-mail checking on him:  At my age, there is very little mischief I can get into.  I keep busy scheduling doctor and dentist appointments.  When I look at our website, I think that my listing has probably the most copy of anyone and I haven't felt the need to add to it with my current mundane activities.  Hope all is well with you.  - Tom  - November 2011

Bill, Sorry to hear the news about Jack Ross.  He always was a nice guy in high school.  I'm getting along OK and my ankle fusion over 8 months ago is doing fine and the knee replacement 11 weeks ago is also doing just fine.  I walk around the house easily but when I go out, take my cane along for extra safety around curbs etc.   Tomorrow I see the Dr. to advise about a shoulder replacement.   Nothing like a major rehab with three new body parts!  Tom - May 2009

October 2008 - I got the cast off 4 weeks ago and I am getting along fairly well.   The right leg and foot has some swelling and I'm wearing a compression stocking.   Since my left knee needs a replacement, when I go out I walk with a cane for stability.   I see my Dr. on Nov. 14 and he may clear me to schedule the knee replacement as all the cartilage is gone and it's bone on bone.   I guess that those of us who survive 60 years after high school, usually need body part replacements.   But, I can't complain and I have more to think about than my health.......the stock market..........who will be the next president, etc.    I hope you're getting along OK and thanks for inquiring about my ankle recovery.  Tom

Bob & Bill,  Well it's just three days to go to the big event and many will start the celebrating on Friday.   Naturally, I would like to be there but Mt. Lebanon is too far to travel in a wheelchair.   Even though I will miss the event, because of my involvement the past 3 1/2 months with both of you in planning and finding classmates, I can take great satisfaction in being a part of the reunion.   When I started the beginning of May, never in my wildest dreams would I have estimated I could find so many classmates.   But as I proceeded finding a few, it became almost an obsessive challenge to find more and the results are that Bill now manages probably the most complete and best high school class website on the internet.   With Bob and his committee planning, I'm sure the reunion will be a big success.   In recalling the attendees list, I knew most of them, but the only ones I've stayed in contact with are Don and Mary Lou Martin (Don is deceased).   Tom  - August 2008

I had my appointment with the Dr. today and he said everything looks good.  He took an x-ray which shows a 13" titanium rod going thru the heal bone and up into the tibia.  There are several screws which hold the rod in place going thru the ankle bones.  You'd expect this would have me in pain, but I have very little.  He put on a weight bearing cast which allows some weight on that leg, but it's a tenuous beginning and I have to be careful and use a walker when moving around.  It will be awhile before I can put full weight on that leg, but I'm making progress.  The operation usually requires about 6 weeks before being cast-free..- Tom , August 2008

My ankle fusion surgery was successful and I am currently in a wheel chair.   I'm getting along pretty well without any pain.  I see my Dr. this Friday and he may put me in a walking cast, but that's to be determined.   Recovering from ankle surgery is far easier than I expected – Tom, August 2008

I had the fusion surgery yesterday and it went OK, but I have to be off it for 10 days and I'm trying to negotiate various walkers, but it's a challenge plus I have to take pain pills.  I now have a 12" rod up thru the heal bone and into my tibia plus a few screws to hold things in place while the bones fuse..  Much to my wife, Carolyn's, displeasure, I've moved my computer up to the family room.  She doesn't understand the agony of not having computer access.  Tom, August 2008

Bob and Bill,  Just so you can see who you're dealing with these days, here's a photo taken on Memorial Day after about 150 hours on the internet looking for classmates.   Now that another 6 weeks has gone bye, my overall feeling is one of satisfaction with our efforts in finding people, but there have been a few frustrations along the way.   In the photo, not sure if the facial expression is one of satisfaction, frustration or tiredness.  Tom

From Bill Erdman, WebMaster:  It should be one of satisfaction for many jobs, well done.  Tom did an outstanding job of searching for our missing Classmates.  Without his help we would have had over 100 "Lost" Classmates - He single-handedly (With a little bitty help from Mary Murrie) whittled the list down to 26 in 2 months of mind-numbing work!.  Thanks, Tom

June 2008 - I guess our memories of high school and the fun we had with classmates back then and later at reunions is not shared by everyone as reflected in some of the feedback we receive occasionally.   Out of 370+ classmates, it is not unusual for a few to feel this way.  I recall from the 25th reunion, I had a few of the students from Castle Shannon mention they never felt like they fit in with the Mt. Lebanon kids.   I suggest we just respect other's feelings and not bother them for another 5 years.  Tom

May 2008:  On the Sunday "60 Minutes" program, they had a whole segment on Mt. Lebanon HS.  It regarded the current epidemic of the staph infection, MRSA, mostly among students.  Leslie Stahl was there and interviewed people including 2 football players. There were good shots of the school, football field, etc. 

May 2007 in response to Jack McCune's death:

It certainly was sad news to hear about Jack's death.   Jack and I enlisted in the army together in the summer of 1952 for 3 years.   We went to infantry basic training at Indiantown Gap near Harrisburg and then spent 14 months at the Counter Intelligence school outside Baltimore.   We learned how to be "counter spies" then spent 6 months in German language school and 6 weeks in investigative photography and microfilming.   Jack and I made numerous weekend trips between Baltimore and Pittsburgh in my 1939 Chrysler!   We then went to Germany and Jack was assigned to Stuttgart and I to Berlin.   I had a good time in my 3 year army experience made all the more enjoyable by being with Jack most of the time.   He really was a great guy.   Tom

January 2007: The lack of correspondence from me is because very little has changed in my life the past several years other than now going up and down stairs one-at-a-time.   We need to move into a ranch but with 30 years of accumulation, I need to order a dumpster first.   We have merged 6 United Ways in Northwest Cook county and I still serve on this board which raises over $2.5 million for allocation to 57 agencies.   We haven't taken a trip in 18 mos. and mostly sit and watch TV and become disgusted with the news from Iraq.  Carolyn says I'm partially to blame because I voted for Bush!  Cheers,  Tom

January 2006:  Bill,  I haven't visited the website in several months.   On it today, I noted some people listed as lost and I went about my web search with results on Lloyd B Bartholow (deceased), Charles A. Coltman and David Guyol (deceased)

In investigation of further details, all are listed as approximate age 75.   My guess is these are our guys.

I leave it up to you if you want to phone and confirm they are our lost members.

As I've mentioned before, some classmates may want to be lost and have little interest in our website.   I do recall that Lloyd was at the 45th reunion.   Tom 

February 2005:  You may have seen this before and I also know it is more "endearing" to those that don't live in Pittsburgh anymore.  I never tire of this.  My favorite, although not listed below is . . . jaeatyet?   no jew? . . . meaning "have you eaten yet?  No I haven't. Have you?" This type of dialog can take all sort of turns from here.  For instance the reply could be.  Na, I wuz thinkin bout goin up street for a hoagie and some pop but they ran out of pokes to put em in.  So they're using saran  wrap and gum bands.  Yenz wana come with me?  (Yenz is the plural of yunz)

Ah yes! "Picksburgh."   Yunz are from Picksburgh if . . 
You didn't have a spring break in high school.  You walk carefully when it is "slippy" outside.  You often go down to the "crick."  You've told your children to "red up" their rooms.  You can remember telling your little brother / sister to stop being so "nebby."  You've gotten hurt by falling into a "jaggerbush."  Your mother or grandmother has been seen wearing a  "babushka" on her head.  You've "warshed" the clothes.  I ask you to hand me one of those "Gum-Bands" you actually know what I'm talking about.  You know you can't drive too fast on the back roads, because of the deer.

You know Beaver Valley, Turtle Creek, Moon, Mars, Slippery Rock, Greentree and New Castle are names of towns. (and you've been to most, if not all, of them.)  A girl walks up to three of her girl friends and says, HEY YENZ GUYS."  You hear "you guyses," and don't think twice.   (Example..."you guyses house is nice")  You know the three rivers by name and understand that "The Point" isn't just on a writing instrument.  Someone refers to "The Mon" or "The Yough" and you know exactly what they're talking about.  You remember the blizzard of 1994 (or 1976, or 1939, or...) and remember not being able to go outside because the snow was over your head and you would have suffocated.  Someone starts the chant, "Here we go Still-ers!" and you join in.  In the proper cadence.  Waving the appropriately colored towel. 

Bob Prince and "There's a bug loose on the rug." hold special meaning for you.  You've either eaten a Farkleberry Tart or know someone who has.  You drink pop, eat hoagies, love perogies and one of your favorite sandwiches actually has french fries ON it.  You know what a "still mill" is.  You expect temps in the winter to be record breaking cold and temps in the summer to be record breaking hot.  You know what Eat 'N Park is and frequently ate breakfast there at 2:00 AM after the bar closed and made fun of people.  You order "dippy eggs" in a restaurant and get exactly what you wanted.  You spent your summers, or a school picnic, at Kennywood, Sand Castle, or Idlewild.  You've been to the Braun's Bread Plant or Story Book Forest for a school field trip.

"Chipped ham" was always in your refrigerator when you were growin up.  You refuse to buy any condiments besides Heinz unless a Pittsburgh athlete's picture is on the side of the container.  Franco, Roberto, and Mario don't need last names and you can recite their exploits by heart.  Your last name has 8 or more letters in it (and you either have a 'Z,' 'U' or a 'ski' somewhere in there) and nobody can pronounce it.  And oft times, even if your name has fewer letters, folks still can't pronounce it.  Food at a wedding reception consists of rigatoni, stuffed cabbage, sauerkraut and polska kielbasa. 

Send this on to family and friends who used to live in the Pittsburgh Area as well as to those who have never lived there, just so they can appreciate how different western PA really is!  I wonder how many of Yunz guys actually understood all dat?  Some folks just don't get dem things.                Tom

March 2004:  Decided to get the book Klondikes, Chipped Ham & Skyscraper Cones:  The Story of Isaly's.  Back in the 1960's, I met Tom Isaly when we both served on the YMCA board and he was a great guy.   Though their website, I found it at A1 Book, Fairfield, NJ.  Incidentally, the author is Brian A. Butko and the price at A1 for a new 100 page paperback is $7.77 plus $3.29 shipping.  Even though Charlie Enlind hasn't read it and given us a review, I figured for $11, give it a go.  Tom

2003:  Just returned from my 50th reunion at Grove City College.  Ann Bowman was there and also Pat Flinn (Declared deceased in 2018 after 15 years without any news).  She and husband Richard still live at 1541 St. Andrews Dr., Oakmont, PA  15139.  They don't have a computer so have not seen our website, but I gave her the site address and maybe they will access it thru their children. 

They have 4 grandchildren.  Pat is a church lay reader; formerly read for the blind over the radio and currently is very active in Academy for Life-long Learning at CMU.  She is just as cute and energetic as I remember her. 

After Grove City, drove on to Philadelphia to visit our two children and  5 grandchildren.  All continues to go OK with us.    Tom

April 2002:  Concerning our class website, I expect most are aware of it and those with email and an interest have replied by now and the possibility of hearing from anyone new is getting rather remote.    I'm doing OK and getting around, just more slowly than in the past.

Spending lots of time working on United Way projects and then considerable time in my little home office with two computers and a TV tuned to CNBC watching my investments decline.  Hope all is going well with you.   Tom

December 2001:  On the website, I note you have lost email contact with few people.  I was looking for some people on WorldPages.com and put in some names of our grads with theses results.   Carolyn Schrader is Mrs. William Krudewig in Corona, CA.  There is a listing:   William Krudewig, 7365 Spindletop Dr.,  Corona, CA , 92881-4254  (9090 735-9236  can't access an email)   Claire Stewart is Mrs. James Deuble and lived in Warren, OH with three children.  There is no listing for Claire or James Deuble, but there is a Eraina Deuble, 4505 Berkshire Dr. Warren, OH,  44484 (330) 609-6943.   Possibly her child?  There are lots of Deubles in Ohio, so this may be a long shot, but it is her last name in town where she lived.     Not sure how much you are doing with the website these days, (everything I can, Tom) but I pass this along for whatever it's worth.  

If you're talking with Bob Woeber (deceased), I'd say trying to have a 55th reunion is a stretch and may not be worth the effort.   The ranks are dwindling and many of those still alive are not in Pittsburgh and not inclined to travel.   I didn't make the 50th and it's unlikely I'd be there for 55.   I think the website is a great way to stay in touch and only wish a few more were using it.   I guess those not on it fall into three groups:  those who aren't aware of it, those who aren't on the internet and those who don't care.    Happy New Year, Tom

August 15, 2000:  One of the downsides of being a reporter (or WebMaster) is sometimes you have to report very sad news such as the death of a very dear, sweet person which all agree Kash was.  Not that it will totally restore your cheerfulness, I thought I might share a bit of a more upbeat story. 

Since you seem to be fascinated that I was an Intelligence Officer (oxymoron, as you say), I decided to relate how this came about.

When we graduated in 1952, our education exemptions expired and we would be drafted.  All I knew was I didn't want to end up in the Infantry.  My uncle (one who lives in Daytona Beach) had been in the Army Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) in WW II and suggested it was a great place to spend your military obligation, although it required enlisting for 3 years, which I ended up doing.  When the enlistees gathered for transport to the induction center, there was John McCune  (deceased)who was doing the same thing. 

We struggled through 16 weeks of infantry basic training at Indiantown Military Reservation outside Harrisburg and when this battalion of 800 graduated basic training, 792 got orders for Korea:  John and I went to Fort Holabird in a Baltimore suburb for our CIC training. 

Our training at Ft. Holabird consisted of 16 weeks of investigation schooling and then 6 months of German language followed by 8 weeks of investigative photography and microfilming.  One Sunday in 1953, lying on our bunks with the Baltimore Sun, we read about the big Crissman-Funkhouser society wedding and wondered if Peggy Crissman knew we were in town defending our country, would we have gotten invites?

Finally in March 1954, the Army decided we were ready to be turned loose in Europe as counter-spies!!  CIC headquarters in Europe was in Stuttgart and when we reported, I was assigned to Berlin and Jack stayed in Stuttgart.  I wondered how I got Berlin and Jack didn't and then I learned the Colonel in charge at Stuttgart wanted the CIC basketball team to win, so naturally he kept Jack there.

As for being and Intelligence Officer  (Tom, isn't this an oxymoron?), I wasn't.  Although I held a reserve commission, I never activated it which would have extended my service, so I was a corporal.  However, CIC agents wore civilian clothes, so most people who knew me casually in Berlin, assumed I was CIA.  I even had an ID with a cover name, Martin T. Allyson!  

At the time, many Germans were trying to immigrate to the US and our office would check the Nazi Party files at the Berlin Document Center and the Wehrmacht files maintained by the French in their sector of Berlin.  In fact, in 1954, it could be more damaging to have been an outspoken anti-Nazi as these people were often Communists and because of Joe McCarthy, they were the enemy, not the defeated Nazis.  Then too, we had the job of turning down lots of the Frauleins who merely had designs of immigrating to the land of the big PX.

In August 1955, Ike was coming for a big conference in Geneva and two of his limos were landed in Bremerhaven and had to be driven to Geneva.  Since the Secret Service drivers were not familiar with German road signs, we had to put CIC agents in each car, but I was scheduled to return for mustering out, so I missed that interesting duty. 

My 16 months in Berlin in 1954-55, when it was a little island of freedom behind the Iron Curtain, is slightly higher on my excitement scale than the three years at Mt. Lebanon High School and I loved high school!  Tom

Hi Bill, E-mail, July 28th, 2000:  Some observations re: our website.  There are many who use it and enjoy it.   There are others not on the internet who can't enjoy it and then there are some who couldn't care less.   I recall when working on the 20 and 25 year reunions, we contacted a few people who admitted they didn't have that great an experience in Mt Lebanon High School and why would they want to relive some not so great times. Fortunately, they are in the small minority.  

As for the Reunion Committee, it was always the same dedicated group who planned and put them together.   The 50 year committee was just the same as 45 year group, so I assume they just slipped in the same 5 year old photo and figured no one would notice, or care. (Tom is referring to the Committee using the same pictures 5 years in a row - I gave Bob Woeber (deceased) a hard time abut this - Bill <><)  Bob was likely trying to figure out whether to buy or sell Microsoft stock rather than should I get these guys together for another photo. ;

A few updates.   My photo with mustache you lifted from 25 year brochure was when I returned from 3 week vacation in Europe in 1961 and I didn't look that young in 1973.   Second, I talked with Don Martin (deceased)  and he corrected what his wife told me.  He is working with Bill Mc Steen's younger brother Dave, not Bill from our class.  He said their office is on the internet but he couldn't remember the address; maybe he'll send it to us sometime.    Thanks. Tom

Tom Arganbright's Biography - July, 2000

I will try to give you the short version of 50+ years since HS graduation.  I spent 4 years at Grove City College along with Connie Lightbown, Dave Remensnyder (deceased), Bob Sisler (deceased), Claire Hatch (deceased), Patricia Flynn, etc.  After graduation, I enlisted in the Army with Jack McCune (deceased) and we spent 3 years in the Counter Intelligence Corps, 1/2 in Baltimore where we learned German and half in Germany, I in Berlin, Jack in Stuttgart. 

In 1955, I joined Alcoa as a salesman and was assigned to their Cincinnati Office where Bob Irwin (deceased) was working and soon Jerry Goddard (deceased) showed up to sell packaging foil.  In 1966, I was transferred back to Pittsburgh in Marketing Research and lived in Upper St. Clair.  I worked on the Committee for our 20 and 25 year class reunions.  I was Marketing Mgr. for household foil when Alcoa went out of this business and I came to Chicago to sell Food Service foil.  In 1977, I went with Exxon Chemical as Sales Manager for Household Bags.  In 1988, Exxon sold my division and I went with it and ended my career in 1995 with Carlisle Plastics.  So there you have a 43 year career from counter-spy to trash bag  salesman! 

In 1959, I married Carolyn Cunningham, a school teacher in Cincinnati and we have 2 children, David (37) and Lynne (35) and both are married and live in the Philadelphia area with our 5 grandchildren.  

We now live in Arlington Heights, Illinois.  In retirement I am currently Vice President on the United Way of Arlington Heights Board

Aren't you glad I opted for the short version?
