Welcome to the virtual Post Office where your comments can be uploaded, posted, found & even read.

Don Ricardo,
Thanks for your model comment. If you are a “tater,” I am a “purple potato” from my vegetable garden. Yours nutritionally, George Banziger. [moderator to moderator]

Thanks to George, Phil, Karl…Ian, don Pedro, comrades, co-conspirators, consultants, & contributors to come. (It’s not so much “what it is” as what we make of it, singly & together.) Your offerings have already given it values hardly imagined.
Hi, guys! I’m having difficulty (as one who is not very proficient with the computer) figuring out just how to use our Bodner-created class website. How does one submit an item to be included on the site, and is it a way to communicate with an individual?
Marv Kelley
Dear Mr. Marv. Your visit set the site’s editorial elf in motion, prompting a full re-drafting of the site’s ABOUT page, including a new HOW-TO-USE section. As for “how to submit an item,” you just did. What else did/do you have in mind?
Hi Marv–1) Congratulations. You just did “submit an item” successfully, in this case a comment. 2) Send other submissions by email c/o bodlibrary2020@gmail.com, with the subject “NMH1960.net.” Files with “.jpg” (photos) & “.Pdf file-type suffixes can be sent as attachments, others should be sent in the body of the email. If there’s a technical problem, it can be dealt with then. 3) As for communicating with specific individuals, feel free to do so, though there’s no way to do so privately, as the content remains in the public forum. For direct person-to-person content, best to use email, if you know (or can find) the address. The website only lists the few offered by individuals–on the “Links (Contacts)” page, as per Menu at top. Hope this helps! –Yours Crudely
I just discovered this site now, after going to the NMH-sponsored site and learning of this one for 1960. Good, although it does seem that few people are using either site and mostly do so for obits (which is not a lot of fun or a good exchange of ideas). Good to see George Banzinger here — Hello. I’ll comment on the Bakers re their obits. I remember him for playing the accordion (Lady of Spain, anyone?). She was not the only academic academic MH teacher. Ms. Forslund was my geometry teacher.
This semester at Villanova I’m taking Engineering Humanity (a faculty benefit, auditing). It’s basically a philosophy course re AI, of which I’m now sold. Been doing a lot of beta-testing with ChatGPT the last three months — it is a game changer. Continuing to have fond memories of the 1960 reunion this past June. Still a peace-affirming nonviolent activist and grateful that my health enables this. Also grateful for my wife Fran and family.
p,s, The Baker’s vehicle (classified as a motorcycle) was a post-war Messerschmitt KR200, made by the aircraft manufacturer of the same name. The canopy and cockpit had a marked resemblance to the Bf109 WWII aircraft. Very cool, and now very collectable.
