Bucknell World Article and Pictures - updated 5/30/15

In 1991 Claudia wrote "Good Friends," the cover story for the July issue of Bucknell World magazine.  Part of this involved her picture being taken by a then local professional photographer Terry Wild.  I have searched the house high and low for the original photo that was used in the magazine, but as yet haven't been able to locate it.  What I did finally find is the other photos that were not chosen for the article.  Here are two of the best ones.

Since blogger will not handle pdf files, I had to put the actual article elsewhere - but it can be accessed with the link below.  You will probably need to enlarge the font using the + tab at the top of the page in order to read it.  Her picture is on page 2, but I encourage you to read the whole article.  If you have any problems accessing the file please email me.

5/30/15 - Copy of Picture Found!  Recently Claudia's sister Suzanne visited her father and stepmother in Florida and noticed a copy of the original photo used in the article framed in their home.  Apparently Claudia had a copy made for them.  Here is a scan of that copy.  Many thanks to Suzanne and Norene.

 

Family Photos from the Attic

     Here are some pictures I found going through the archives Claudia inherited when her father sold the house at 16 Lone Pine Lane in Westport, CT.  Most of these I had never seen before.

     After many years together, on April 8, 1988 we formalized our love and commitment and were married.  Nothing fancy; our local district justice and neighbor, Leo Armbruster performed the services at the Union County  Courthouse. My parents were the guests.  We drank margaritas in celebration.

     The rest of the pictures in this post are some of my favorites from that time period.

Joy in Reading

With Andy in her library, Feb. 2013

     Those of you who knew Claudia well are aware that she was a voracious reader of literature, and that she had been reviewing for Bucknell's alumni magazine  for many years (see previous post in Memorium, 11/4/14). But she also wrote short reviews of literally hundreds of books on Amazon.com, for her own enjoyment, and because she loved to share her impressions with other readers.

Here are two of her Amazon posts (click on image to enlarge):
