S Class notes class notes end us a note to let us know how you’re doing, online, via email, or through the mail. new class notes are posted online on a weekly basis until they appear in print in Horace Mann Magazine. class notes received prior to March 1, 2011 can be found in the class notes archive section on www.horacemann. org/alumni. Some of the notes that appear here have been shortened from the original material we received, in order to include all the news by alumni who keep in touch with Horace Mann School. However, these notes appear in their entirety on our website. We thank you for keeping us up-to-date. 1949 irwin spiegel sent class correspondent July 1st, my wife and i celebrated our 67th wedding anniversary. Where did we meet? at the field House at a Spring Dance hosted by the class of 1940. My buddies (artie aufses, (the late) Jay Pack, edgar simon and earl bronsteen) and i went to the dance hoping to meet some nice girls. i spotted a pretty girl dancing with my classmate, merrill Garfinkel, and i said “i’m going to cut in”, a popular term used in those days. We danced and then we strolled around the football field twice. i knew right then and there that she was “the one” (imagine, at age sixteen!) While i was on leave from the Marine corps, edie and i were married and Dr. arthur aufses was my best man and is still a best friend today. our first apartment, right after WWii, was available thanks to another classmate, alan Posner, the owner of the property. it gives me great pleasure to share my story with the alumni of HMS. i’m proud to say that i am a graduate of this prestigious school. don hillman continues to stay connected with Horace Mann School, as a member of the HM alumni council and attending HM events. He recently shared memories of his HM experiences for a history of the school being prepared in honor of Horace Mann’s 125th anniversary. Don was the first executive producer of national educational Television (neT) which became pbS. an interview with him about his work with eleanor roosevelt is archived in the roosevelt library. 1942 wrote: This past benjamin Wormser president of the association of yale alumni in Medicine in 2007, and was featured in a profile in the yale Medicine alumni magazine in 2009. The article described Dr. Malkin’s journey as a woman in medicine, and the challenges she faced after choosing to become a psychiatrist, going through her medical internship and psychiatric residency, and then seeking a position at a psychoanalytic institute—one she was denied as a young mother at the time. Dr. Malkin and her family eventually settled in bethesda, MD, where she practiced, taught and supervised trainees for decades. Dr. Malkin has since settled in new Haven. Her term as president of the alumni association ended in June 2009, but she remains active with the yale Medicine alumni association, and is also on the board of Trustees of the center for advanced psychoanalytic Studies (capS), a group of psychoanalytic professionals that meet throughout the year to compare cases, study procedures and discuss topics related to their practices. don maggin is completing a biography of jazz musian/drummer Max roach, titled Make it New: The Life of Max Roach. Maggin worked with roach and valued the drummer’s openness to new forms of music. Maggin is the author of Stan Getz: A Life in Jazz (1997) and Dizzy: The Life and Times of John Birke Gillespie. 1944 malkin was elected dr. Jocelyn schoen in the following class notes this past summer. Hello again. carol and i are back in new york and getting used to the Third avenue city sounds outside our living room window. Despite some minor medical issues, it was a good winter for both of us. before continuing, however, a brief word of apology to dick and bob miller (and their respective wives). in my last class notes i published information from Dick Miller but erroneously attributed it to bob Miller. it was clearly my error, for which i am deeply sorry to all the Millers concerned. now for more current news: as usual, i organized a Se florida mini reunion lunch; the turnout was gratifying and a great time ensued. Those attending included: dick asher, dick Greene, arthur irwin, dick Kleid, mitch rosenheim, marv rubin, andy Taub, Jay Tischenkel, Peter Tishman, and myself. after lunch, i asked for e-mail up-dates from those attending. following are the replies i received. from dick Kleid: “Peter Tishman and i now live in the same building in palm beach and recently attended the south florida reunion luncheon. i am in my seventh year as a Town councilman for the Town of palm beach and serving on the centennial commission planning for the 100th anniversary of the Town of palm beach. in May, i received the “emeritus” award from the palm beach county legal aid Society for my long service to this organization.” from Jay Tischenkel: Thank you for putting together a really fun afternoon at Henry’s with old friends. you asked for an update from each of us. i still work full time as Director of institutional advancement at nova Southeastern University in fort lauderdale. nSU is the sixth largest private university in the country out of 1,600. That makes it larger than my alma mater, columbia. i have three Horace mann magazine Winter 2012 49 http://www.horacemann.org/alumni http://www.horacemann.org/alumni
