Commemorating 55 years: Loyola University, New Orleans 1967 SSTP

After only 55 years, my yearbook copy has a bit of tanning and foxing; therefore, I converted the yearbook page photos to mono.

  1. I was in Christman’s ’71 SSTP. Butch Winkler was Assistant Director. Dr. Head taught Electronics. Mel Kuehne was one of our counselors. When I attended Loyola for undergraduate school I knew Drs. Wendt and Komitsky.

    There are several names in your group that probably had younger siblings in ours:
    * Nettie Smith -> Cynthia Smith
    * Bill Beck -> Mary Alice Beck [our fathers were fraternity brothers at LSU; we discovered this on the final-night when we congregated before dinner]
    * Jim Hicks of East Moline, Illinois MAYBE NOT -> Kenneth Hicks of Shreveport, Louisiana
    * Meg O’Rear -> Mimi O’Rear

    The last time I saw Butch was at Neale Christman’s funeral in 2015. I see the Christman’s son Benton frequently.

    I have a recipe of sautéed thyme and mushrooms that’s based on one Neale did with oysters. I was writing it up for a friend, and made reference to “wife of my mentor and friend Dr. John F. Christman”; this led me to search on his name – which led me to your page. What fun to discover this!

    I can echo Marty and Alan’s comments above. My essay in inside the cover of our yearbook begins: “The most influential period of my life began June 11, 1971 […]”. Well, lots has happened since then, but the experience still stands out. I stay in touch with a number of people from my program and others.

    I have the ’69, ’70’ and (our) ’71 yearbooks. I’d love to share some of those pages with you (Marty and Mel were counselors in ’69). Our cover reflected a 1620 printout:

  2. The Benzene Ohm was the Loyola 'yearbook'. I’ve included the photos of participants who have written in.

    Send in an update or write a comment — I’ll happily add your photo page.

  3. I just stumbled across this a few minutes ago. The 1967 SSTP experience was one of the most influential experiences in my life – truly life changing in fact. I treasure the memories. Thank you so very much!

  4. In the past few days, I’ve visited by email with
    · Alan Zisman,
    · Riley Kothmann,
    · Kirk Hammond,
    · Wynn Schwartz, and
    · Cigus Vanni.

    I also visited by phone with Pete Luan. That’s 6 out of 48 participants: 1/8 of the group.

  5. So good to hear from you by email and thanks for commenting, Alan. I added a few excerpt pages from the 1967 Loyola SSTP yearbook. I did remember correctly, you were Riley Kothmann’s roommate.

  6. Taking part in the 1967 Loyola SSTP program was a big event in my early life, leaving me with a life-long love of New Orleans food and music, among other things. It encouraged my independence, which resulted in my leaving home to attend university in Montreal – which ultimately led to my living in Canada.
