WELCOME PARTY:
On Saturday night, 22
February, the class had a welcome party in our apartment (Goodpasture/ Guthrie/
Klein/ Stiles), which doubled as the Ski Czar’s command post. Some photos
follow.
Picture 6. Karla Moellering, Howard
Stiles (in his signature West Point Class of 1959 Ski Team T-shirt: “Life’s
Short; Ski Hard”) and Big John McNerney
Picture 7. Christa Klein, John
Guthrie and Eileen Stiles. (Actually, this picture was taken sometime other
than during the welcome party.)
Picture 8. Gary Beech, smiling as
usual
Picture 9. Nadine Beech, also smiling
as usual
Picture 10. Tom Seybold with his
daughter-in-law Karen. (Tom’s wife’s name is Karen and their son Tom’s wife’s
name is also Karen. Confusing, says Tom Sr.)
Picture 11. Paul Sper. (That’s John
Guthrie behind him, in the orange Tahoe Indian shirt.)
Picture 12. Elaine and John Guthrie
Picture 13. Tim Matthes and John
Moellering in a very serious discussion
I draw your attention to the
conical, black and white “cow hat” in the background, the one with the detachable,
Velcro-fastened horns on it. This was my entry into our annual Most Tasteless
Hat in the World Contest, which I won – pitted against John Guthrie’s hat – for
the second year running. The hat bears on the front a high-quality embroidery,
showing it came originally from Munich’s Oktoberfest, as well as a small
cowbell.
John Moellering couldn’t
know, of course, but, two nights later, I would raffle off that beauty for
three dollars to Karla Moellering, who bought it for John’s impending birthday.
We all waited in vain, though, for him to wear it on the ski slopes the
following day. I suspect that John immediately shredded it through a garbage
disposal machine.
Picture 14. Lee Bell, who is a fast
and skillful skier
Picture 15. Flo
Bell, Lee’s sister – always game on the slopes
I didn’t get many pictures of Guy Heath or Bobbie Fitzgerald, who
generally skied on other slopes. Nor will I tell how Guy
Heath skied into a whole bunch of us who were waiting to in the liftline,
and fell mortified at our very feet.

The
Heaths and Fitzgeralds stayed at a condo outside the Park City Mountain
Resort area. Unfortunately, we didn’t get much of a chance to ski with them
– except, of course, when Guy “dropped in.”
Picture 17. Bill Fitzgerald, having a
real yuk
Picture 18. Donna Heath
Picture 19. Studying the spread, or – “Who
ate all the shrimp?” Tom Seybold, Lee Bell, John Moellering, Eileen Stiles and Tom’s son Dave (I think). Note the hat in the background.
Picture 20. Flo Bell, Frank Campbell, Karla
Moellering and Howard Stiles
Picture 21. Tim Matthes in a happier
mood than the previous picture of him
Picture 22. Paul Sper and John Guthrie.
(Either Paul is seated or John is standing on a chair. And get a load of that
shirt!)
