I chose history as a major in part because of Dr. Chessman and his colleagues. It was a great department back in the mid 60's! Though I never intended to pursue teaching history at any level, I was flattered when Dr. Chessman wondered if I had ever considered graduate work in his field. He told be he thought I should. His passing is a loss for all who knew him, learned from him, and admired him. My condolences to his family and the University.

Now I just work with high school students and reassure their families that everything is going along well and according to plan. They are often nervous, upset, and confused by the entire college admissions process. I never saw the similarity to a pregnancy, but you have made that very apparent in an entertaining way.

He helped me and was so kind. I remember his shirt with a torn elbow and how I was embarrassed because he didn't realize it. A week later he had the same shirt on and I realized he didn't even care and it didn't even matter. That made a big impression on me. Later in life I realized that much of my success was based on that lesson. Wally was my advisor when I was there only to last the first sixteen week semester in 1962. He helped me and was so kind.

Fortunately for me it was required at that time. Professor Martin left me with a lifelong interest in these matters and many of his course's textbooks remain on my bookshelves, dog-eared and tattered from many readings. A few days ago,I was making a recording of some Joseph Campbell's lectures to send to my son. As I was introduced to Campbell by Dr. Martin, his teaching work truly continues. Many thanks for his work and may he rest in peace.

He was always asking me (since I worked in the library and he always seemed to be in the library)what he could do to help us and,like the story above, would pass off money to me so the group could buy books on GLB topics for the Womens's Studies Resource Center. His support and caring for me and all other GLB students made my Denison time a joy when so many other GLB students struggled through their college years. I was saddened to hear of his passing but am so grateful I got to meet and know such a wonderful soul even after he had retired from teaching at Denison.

We were on the JV cheer-leading team together, sang in the school chorus, performed in the high school plays, etc. But Ann left me in the dust when it came to Latin and French classes! She was always very modest about her academic accomplishments, but we all knew she'd go on to do great things in academia. After high school, the small group of girls who were so close lost track of Ann, catching only little tidbits of information about her whereabouts and accomplishments. But finally, in the summer of 2010, we caught up with Ann, and she joined a half dozen of us for a brief reunion at the Vermont home of one of the group. It was as though those forty-five years had just gone by in a flash! Ann was just as lively and goofy as the rest of us, and we are all so thankful to have had that little get-together, with photos to remind us of the great time we had!

He made us blow out all our air out on the way down which reduces buoyancy and make it easier to look like your standing/posing comfortably on the bottom of the pool - it was hard work but the photos looked cool, as I'm sure yours do too We actually did a similar sort of photo shoot a few years back and one of the guys with us was a diver.

We love the Denison magazine that Kathy Fuller '71 shares with us, and were wondering if you could clarify if it was printed on the web press at Watkins (I'm guessing since you talked about rolls of paper), or the sheet-fed press (although I believe you can now fit rolls into some sheet-fed presses).
