A little reminder to all –if/when you change your email address please let Pat or me know if you want to continue to receive the newsletter. Too many times we only find out when you send us an email saying you haven’t received the newsletter in few months. Thanks guys.

Our love and prayers go out to the

family and friends of our classmates who have gone on before us. We will miss them, yet we can find comfort in knowing that one-day we will all join them for the greatest of all reunions.

David F. McManigal (56) (Pat Owen (58) found this on the internet.)

MIAMI, OK - David F. McManigal, 73, died on Sept. 13th, 2011, in Miami, OK. Dave was born on July 24, 1938, in Caruthersville, MO. He was the son of Rose Frazelle McManigal and Donald McManigal. Dave was a veteran of the US Navy. On Dec. 19, 1959, he married Marcia Holcomb in Tucson, AZ. Dave was employed by IBM in New York and Colorado for thirty-seven years until his retirement in 1996. Surviving are his wife of 52 years of the home; sons Michael McManigal, Miami, OK and Port Ewen, NY, Paul McManigal and wife Shannon, of Summerville, SC, daughter Susan Kleinke and her husband, Edward, of Saugerties, NY, six grandchildren and two step-grandchildren.Dave always enjoyed being active in his community. During his life, he was a scoutmaster, volunteer policeman, rescue squad member, life member of the E. Fishkill Fire Dept., and was on the E. Fishkill, NY, Planning Board. In Miami, he had been involved in Meals on Wheels, Hearts & Hammers, Kiwanis, Miami Little Theatre,

and Rotary International. He was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church and was the first rector and guiding force in the founding of the international Christian movement, Tres Dias. He had worked on many Christian retreats in the maximum security prisons at Greenhaven and Napanoch, New York. His celebration of life service was held at the First Presbyterian Church, Miami, OK, on Sept. 16. Services were under the direction of the Cooper-Althouse Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, it was requested that a donation be made to a charity of your choice.

This is a new column that is strictly for your humble editor to correct some of the mistakes I make in some of the issues – sure hope it doesn’t get too long. OOPS here we go again.

Suzanne (Garrison) Mayo (54) sgmayo54@att.net Another interesting issue. Did I miss Ted Hopkins's name on your found list for 1955? You will

probably be hearing from him. Thanks again for all your work in getting the newsletter to us each month. (Good catch Snookie.Don’t know how I missed it since I send him the newsletter each month. I have copied Pat and she has updated the list.)

Getting together with Bushy Park friends always brings up the subject of the amazing benefits we experienced living in the London area. History was at our doorstep. Who else had a senior class trip to Rome? It was a remarkable time to be a teenager and left a mark on our expectations of our future lives. The Broadhurst’s were visiting Florida to escape winter and also visited Kathlee Knopke ’62 Bryan in Tampa. Since the class’ 50th reunion in Washington, DC, many of us have been looking for opportunities to visit again. Ed can be found on the North Carolina coast and Liz is in DC in the spring and summer and Sarasota in the fall and winter. If you are in the area, let’s plan to get together.

Pat Terpening (58) Owen nemoamasa@sbcglobal.net Pat will not have access to her computer from May 29 through June

11, so those who receive the newsletter from her (Classes 60-62 and others) will be getting the newsletter late. If she can get a copy to Bob Harrold to post at the Bushy Park website, it should be available there by June 5. The website is: http://wwwbushypark.org

Pat Terpening (58) Owen nemoamasa@sbcglobal.net Each month, I’ll give an update on a class, starting with Class of 1953.

Those FOUND, DECEASED and FOUND BUT ARE NOW LOST, as well as those who’ve never been found. If anyone has any information on any of those who haven’t been located, it would be appreciated if they could forward it to me (no matter how little it is – either parent’s name, a sibling, anything helps), I’ll then see if I can locate them. Also, if you’d like to contact one of the FOUNDS, just send me an e-mail. Thanks. Pat.

Classmate Trivia

(Editor’s Note: Last month we listed 11 trivia questions about our classmates. Below are the questions, and if we received an answer to the question, the answer is shown below the question. Next month we will drop the questions answered in this month’s newsletter and add any new questions submitted by you the reader. If any questions from the original list are not answered by the June issue we will provide the answer in the July issue.)

Congratulations to the three of our classmates that knew the answers to three of the questions. I know that we are getting old but surely there are more of you that know the answer or maybe are the person the question is about. Let’s see if you all can do better next month. � Q 1. Who's father named the school CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL? Q 2. Who's father was once Base Commander of BUSHY PARK? Q 3. Which graduate went on to liberate stewardesses (she was a union steward)? Q 4. We have at least 3 Bushy Park classmates who went on to author books? Can you name at least 2? Here's an additional author, but not one of the original 3 above.

Donna Forsman (59) dforsman@mac.com I know who one of the people was who authored a book (two

actually). It was me. Both are recipe books. The first was titled “What About Tea?” and the second was “The ’21’ Cookbook, which I co-authored with Michael Lomonoco, who was then Executive Chef at the ’21’ Club. Q 5. One classmate was featured on one of the episodes of THE FBI FILES? Can you name him? Q 6. One classmate was on TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES with Bob Barker, and won her husband? Q 7. Which classmate joined the Navy, left the Navy, became a Catholic priest and rejoined the Navy as a Catholic Chaplain?

Sean (Carr) McMahon (58) seanloumcmahon@gmail.com It has to be Father Pete, who is the lovely looking priest in the

newsletter. When he was enlisted in the Navy, he was a submariner. Totally inappropriate so don't use this if you don't want it! Father Pete a.k.a. Aaron Sheldon Peters told my husband once, during a friendly guy chat I guess, that his definition of purgatory was being on a submarine with 300 other men, four days from port and running out of toilet paper. Love ya Pete. We are so blessed to count him as a friend. Q 8. Which classmate was on the ANDREA DORIA when it went down in the Atlantic? (Fortunately they survived).

Madge (Young) Nickerson (59) ardgour@metrocast.net Don’t know where the trivia question came from but it is I who was on the Andrea Doria on her final

voyage. We were living in London and I, along with Jerry Sandham and Jay Marron (who also proceeded on to Bushy in the fall of 1956) had just graduated from ASL located, at that time, in Grosvenor Square. The school only went through 9th grade. There were nine of us in the graduating class (7 boys and 2 of us girls). The graduation speaker was old HST himself (Harry S. Truman) who just happened to be in London at the time. So us nine were sent on our way with his homilies and platitudes. Later in July my family trained down to Milan and then on to Genoa where we boarded the Andrea Doria headed back to the US on home leave. The night before we were to dock in New York on July 26th, the Andrea Doria collided with the Stockholm 45 miles south of Nantucket in the busy shipping lanes. It was indeed a harrowing night; but my family were lucky as we were never in any real danger unlike others who had cabins at the point of impact. For those who are interested in more, I suggest getting a copy of Alive on the Andrea Doria by Pierette Simpson. She too is a survivor though we did not know each other at the time. We connected as she was writing the book. Much of my story, and others, is in there as is her great research on the ultimate cause of the collision. It never went to trial

7

as the Swedish Line and the Italian Line settled out of court. Q 9. One classmate is a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and several years ago didn't see an open hatch on a cabin cruiser, fell through it and broke his foot in three places. Who is he? Q 10. Another classmate met his future wife in London, where they lived in the same apartment building. They are still happily married. Who is he? Q 11. Which classmate designed the cover for the first (1953) Bushy Park Year Book “The Londoner”? (In 1957 the name was changed to “Vapor Trails”) Here are two new question submitted by one of your classmates: Q. 12. Two classmates (different years) were married on the same day, same year, only not in the same states. Who are they? Q. 13 Who named "The Inkling" (the school newspaper)?

Letters to the Editor

Sherry “Cheryl” (Burritt) Konura. (57) sherger2@gmail.com

Hi Gary,

This might be way too late for the May

issue of Bushy News, but a friend sent

this to me this morning and I thought it just

perfect....maybe you can use it later on, if not now.

Patsy (Cooper) Cook (58) patgenecook@sbcglobal.net Thank you for all the work you do on the newsletter. I am also

enjoying the review Pat is doing on the classes each month. I'm so glad I was found.

Toni (Cooney) Clem (62) toniclem@suddenlink.net Dear Pat and Gary—really enjoyed this newsletter. Every month has

some interesting bit of news and/or humour (English spelling, natch). Loved the quote about stupidity (‘even duct tape can’t fix stupidity, but it can muffle the sound’). My favorite on that subject is from Dorothy Parker, to wit: “Never get into an argument with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.” Working on another column. Thanks for all the energy and effort you spend on this project.

RULES FOR KICK'N ASS (Funny but true) Rules for the Non-Military (Make sure you read #13 twice) Dear Civilians, we know that the current state of affairs in our great nation has many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military. For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas where we would like your assistance: 1. The next time you see any adults talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem - kick their ass. 2. When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American Flag in protest - kick their ass. 3. Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down while a disabled veteran kicks their ass. 4. If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDUs) or Jungle Fatigues, telling others that you used to be 'Special Forces'. Collecting GI Joe memorabilia might have been okay when you were seven years old, but now it will only make you look stupid and get your ass kicked. 5. Next time you come across an Air Force member, do not ask them, 'Do you fly a jet?' Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass kicking (children are exempt).

6. If you witness someone calling the Coast Guard 'non-military', inform them of their mistake - and kick their ass. 7. Next time Old Glory (the US flag) prances by during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart. This includes arrogant politicians who think someone may be offended. Quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her - of course, failure to do either of those could earn you a severe ass-kicking. 9. 'Your mama wears combat boots' never made sense to me - stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a vet and therefore would kick your ass! 10. 'Flyboy' (Air Force), 'Jarhead' (Marines), 'Grunt' (Army), 'Squid' (Navy), 'Puddle Jumpers'(Coast Guard), Bubblehead ( Sub sailor ), etc., are terms of endearment we use describing each other. Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned the right to use them. Using them could get your ass kicked. 11. Last, but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends, please remember that there are literally thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our country would get its ass kicked. 12. It's the Veteran, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It's the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It's the Veteran, not the community organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. It's the Military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag. Oh, AND ONE MORE: 13. If you ever see anyone singing the national anthem in Spanish – KICK THEIR ASS.
