President’s Message

In this my first newsletter message as president of the UCM Emeriti Association, I acknowledge and congratulate all emeriti faculty and staff and thank you for your service to UCM. The University is a much better institution because of your contributions, and the Emeriti Association remains your connection to UCM. I look forward to my term in office as the Association celebrates twenty-five years of achievement. At the fall luncheon, the Association elected me as President; Ed Quistorff, Vice-President; Sharon Gobber, Treasurer; Rebecca Limback, Secretary; Gail Crump, Assistant Secretary and Newsletter Coordinator; Ruth Doyle, Social Events Chairperson; and Deems Brooks and Chitaranjan Saran, Members-at-Large, all for two year terms.

Immediate past President Adrian Bernagozzi will also serve on the Executive Committee. Many of us have worked with Ed, Sharon, Becky, Gail, Ruth, Deems, Chitaranjan, and Adrian during our UCM careers and are familiar with their dedication and great abilities.

If you are a recent retiree or have not been active in the Association, I encourage you to take advantage of the benefits of your membership. Along with the enjoyment of visiting with old colleagues and friends, participation in the Association is a way for you to continue to be involved in the life of the University and to influence UCM’s future by offering the wisdom gained from the past. You probably believe, as I do, that the administration and faculty can profit by drawing upon the experience of those who may not have seen it all but have certainly seen a great deal.

As it enters its twenty-sixth year, the Emeriti Association will continue its program of monthly coffees, the Spring and Fall luncheons, and a variety of interesting presentations and excursions. These are wonderful opportunities for retirees to keep informed of University activities, to learn and to grow, and to share with one another the stories of our lives past and present. So mark your calendars to attend our coffees and especially the Spring luncheon and business meeting on April 16. The Emeriti Association newsletter provides complete information on these and all Association events.

It is an honor for me, as president of the Emeriti Association to build on the excellent work of past officers dating back to the original president, Bill Brame. I commend the accomplishments of all the officers and members of the Association in its first quarter century, recognizing particularly the contributions of our immediate past president, Adrian Bernagozzi. Now it is time to go forward into our next quarter century. I look forward to seeing you at our next coffee and at the Spring luncheon.

Dr. Hudson worked in ICTEP from 1967-69; he noted the experience taught him the importance of listening to feedback from various program constituents, creating a climate that makes students comfortable, and going to actual school sites to involve teachers there in the design and development of professional development activities. (For more on ICTEP, see the notes on Fred Rietbrock below).

Dennis W. Jones, emeritus management specialist and former director of the Missouri Safety Center, writes that he and his wife Edith Gayle, a UCM alum like Dennis, have finally sold the last of the alpacas they have been raising on their farm near Chilhowee since Dennis retired in 2005.

Becky also writes that she and her husband Duane both have works on exhibit at the Warrensburg City Hall, and they will travel to Idaho for their grandson’s high school graduation in May and to Gulf Shores for a family vacation in June.

Fred Rietbrock, emeritus professor of elementary education, was recently interviewed about his experiences with the Inner City Teacher Education Program (ICTEP) as part of the UCM Archives Project. The idea for ICTEP originated from Fred’s contacts with some inner city teachers who were taking night courses with him, and after a curriculum had been developed, Fred and Dr. Robert B. Marshall began working with groups of 12-15 students to provide them an integrated program for inner city teachers covering all the students’ teacher preparation courses and inner city field experiences. In 1966, ICTEP earned UCM the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) Distinguished Achievement Award for Excellence in Teacher Education. In his interview, Fred spoke fondly of his memories of ICTEP and its role in the history of UCM.

Chris Willey, emerita professor of art, writes that her retirement “has been a transition from full-time professor/part-time artist to full-time artist.” In her new home in Kansas City, she attends a weekly figure drawing group and goes on many plein air outings with fellow KC artists. Last year she also painted in the August Plein Air Event in August, MO, in the Penn Valley Plein Air Event, in the STEMS Plein Air Event in Overland Park, KS, and for the Brush Creek Artwalk.

Ginger Young, emerita professor of English, writes that she and her husband, Jim, emeritus professor of political science, have gone to all their high school reunions since the 25 year gathering in 1979. Before the 50th reunion, Ginger put together a book for distribution in 2009. For the 50th reunion last September, she wrote 162 pages of “life summaries” as well as adding both 1954 and more recent photos of her 288 classmates. She also included 33 pages of such items as 9th grade home room photos, special recognition for veterans, group photos from past reunions, photos of East Waterloo, IA High School, lists of deceased classmates alphabetically and by death year, and a list of teachers mentioned as especially helpful in a 2002 questionnaire. The book was distributed to all graduates. Ginger offers to help anyone interested in preparing the same kind of volume. Her email address is vhy@comcast.net.
