I'm sorry to report that Linda's research has found that Ben Corn passed away in 2004. Linda also located Ron Carlisle in Michigan. Ron is having some medical issues and would probably really be buoyed by some friendly email. His email is on the website.
I've started my own personal campaign to locate 200 "lost" classmates. Called about a dozen, found 3, one of whom actually remembered me (we had classes together). And of course, Linda, semi professional search specialist was on hand with friendly advice.
Like the Reitz class, my classmates are a far flung group, larger to start with, and with a larger group of "lost" students, but I suspect that just as high a percentage are hidden in plain sight. If I'm successful in the next few months, may we'll have to get a bigger place in New Jersey to hold the event too! Wouldn't that be a shame.
Unlike Evansville, Wayne is really a bedroom for people that work in New York for many. As a result, there is often not much connection with the town. I think a greater percentage of the class moved away than stayed.
Ironically, one of the people I contacted lived in Tempe AZ, so we were able to talk about Arizona where we were just a couple weeks ago.
