8 thoughts on “Commemorating 55 years: Loyola University, New Orleans 1967 SSTP”
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:
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!

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.
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.

Great to hear from you, Tom.
Thank you for the several references to participants, their relatives, advisors, professors, and Christman family members.
Here is the link to see all my SSTP posts:

Thanks for writing.
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.
Marty, thank you for visiting, and thank you for your nice comments. Hope things are going well.

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.
