Bob Fitzgerald, an original cataloger in the Library's Catalog Department from the 1960s until his retirement in 1995, died on Friday, Jan 26, 2001, of a rare form of leukemia.

Larsana Nelson, his wife (and also a retired NU original cataloger), stated that he did not want a funeral or memorial service.  In lieu of flowers, she suggested that Bob was very fond of animals and would have liked contributions to be sent to an animal rescue such as:

The Greater Chicago Ferret Association (GCFA)
PO Box 7093
Westchester, IL  60154

Joan Crawford says that there is an on-line donation form for them at:

http://www.gefa.com/donation_form.html

Joan noted that Bob was a longtime member of the GCFA and loved ferrets.  "He went to all the GCFA shows and enjoyed being with other ferret owners.  He will be greatly missed by me and many others."

King Estate informed me after the fact that the gratuity was not included in the $35 price and add a 20% tip ($7) to each meal.  That brings the total cost of the meal, space rental and gratuity to $52 per person.  Wine is not included in the cost of the meal.  The winery needs at least half of the total cost to King Estate by June 1.

Location:  80854 Territorial Highway, Eugene, OR 97405
Time:  Noon until 4:30 (Meal to be set out around 1:30 to 2:00 p.m.), August 3rd, 2013
Winery Tours:  Tours of the winery start at noon and run hourly (very informative).
Directions:  From Cottage Grove, head west on Lorane Highway and you'll see the winery on the hillside to the right off of Territorial Highway as you approach Lorane, only about 10 or 11 miles from Cottage Grove.

As a student At Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, I received a notice to get a physical for the military, as my major was not draft-deferred. Into the USMC I go, but eventually graduated with a Bachelor of Professional Art to become an Art Director  at a number of advertising agencies in Los Angeles, and while based in LA, I did stints in San Francisco, Denver and Chicago.

I relaxed by snow skiing and racing a two-person catamaran sailboat. I got into powerboats and used those boats as fire boats in the San Diego Thunderboat Regatta for seven or eight years.

Upon retiring from the ad business, I went to some watercolor workshops and started a series of Art Prints of Life on Highway Route 66 in the 20s, 30s and 40s, so I have traveled the Main Street of America. These limited edition art prints are sold through Owen Prints. Those art pieces plus others have also become labels for hot sauces, barbecue sauce and mustards I sell through Collector Series Sauces.

I took ballroom dance lessons and actually won a dance contest plus realized that dancing is a benefit aboard cruise ships!

As a member of the Pacific Southwest Railroad Museum Steam Team, I helped rebuild Southern Pacific 2353 locomotive which was seen in the film "Pearl Harbor". The Steam Team is currently rebuilding the locomotive "Coos Bay" from those hills in Oregon.

Wanted to say "hi" to all of you classmates. Nothing much new here except that we are all probably getting a little older. Ha!

Our grandson, Doug, is 22 now, 23 in June. He has been here since he was two days old. He is classified as autistic, but he is very intelligent, and very normal in most ways. He loves gaming, and his "Play Station" and "X-Box" games. He definitely has the gift of gab, and he loves to talk.

I have been a widow for 19 years now. I do not have E-mail but with "snail mail", I keep up with quite a few pen-Chuck pals. One is my very precious retired pastor friend, now in a nursing home in Illinois. We have been best friends for nine years now.

We are very active in our church, and I still lead a ladies Bible Study here in Rainier each Wednesday morning.

My kids are about the same. Chuck, 52 and Francine; Kathy, 50, and John; Linda, 47, and her daughter, Jenny, age 21, (Jenny is not married yet), and Beth, 44, and her boys, Brian, 14 and Josh, 12.

Kathy and John just moved from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Manchester, Kentucky. John has been called to pastor a church there in Manchester. He was in the Army, and was a Chaplain, but now he will be serving this new church.

We keep busy. Doug loves to shop at Target, Walmart and Game Stop. Most of the clerks have gotten to know him.

Our life may seem boring to some, but we manage to keep busy here along with cats, Sparky and Tippy.

I would love to hear from any of you who would care to write and I would answer all letters.
