1940s
Frank Bautze, BB’40, of Bridgton, Maine, reports that eight members of the Bouvé Class of 1940 met in early September 2000 to celebrate their sixtieth reunion and to welcome Reiko Nakamura Masumoto and her daughter, Hiroko, on a visit from Tokyo, Japan.
Joseph Antognoni, E’43, and his wife, Suzanne, of Carlisle, Massachusetts, celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary last August. Antognoni is a full-time stockbroker.
Harold Maron, E’46, of San Marcos, California, writes, “I’m one of those alumni with a dual allegiance—four years in the Class of ’43 and twenty weeks with the Class of ’46. Don’t see much from any of these folks in Class Notes. I’ve been retired since 1984, enjoying the local climate, playing golf regularly, and a lot of time on the computer. Would like to hear from my old (literally) classmates. You can e-mail me at <hmaron@nctimes.net>. If you don’t have a computer, get one and come into the twenty-first century.”
Stephanie Chopek Sydoriak, LA’46, of Los Alamos, New Mexico, was honored by the Professional Music Teachers of New Mexico with a lifetime membership at its recent convention in Albuquerque. It was just the seventh lifetime membership awarded in the organization’s fifty-year history. Sydoriak was one of six women to enter Northeastern in 1942. She majored in physics, and later attended graduate school at Yale from 1946 to 1948. In her early years at Los Alamos, she worked as a translator of Russian, German, French, and Ukrainian scientific papers for the laboratory. After raising six children, she began a thirty-five-year career as a piano teacher. She served as president of the Los Alamos Music Teachers and as president and vice president of the state organization. Sydoriak was nationally certified in the professional category and was granted a professional master’s from the state. She retired from piano teaching in the spring of 1999. During the Los Alamos fires in spring 2000, she was evacuated from her home for two weeks. To her great relief, she was not among the four hundred residents who lost their homes to the flames. “It remains an incredibly sorrowful experience, however,” she writes.
