| PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY | |
I have just completed reading the Winter 1998 edition of the University of Louisville magazine and thoroughly enjoyed—as I always do. Of particular interest to me was the article "Great Greek Years" by Michael A. Lindenberger. The photo labeled "University Archives," shown on page 23, leaped right off the page when I saw it. I attended the University of Louisville as a member of the Navy V-12/NROTC Unit from October 1944 until June of 1946 and have great memories of those years. The people shown in this photograph are all familiar, but my deep memory has produced only one positive ID and one probable. The sailor with the big smile is Grant M. "Scotty" MacNuer of Oakland, California...The pretty miss the third from the right I believe to be Dottie Spalding (or maybe Spaulding). Thank you so much for the photo from the University Archives. The picture...sent me on a real nostalgic trip. As space allows in future issues, I would be delighted to see more photos from the archives. Thank you very much. Heywood A. "Woody" Turner |

| STILL WED, THANK YOU | |
| Thank
you very much for reporting of the very successful Phi Kappa Tau 50th Anniversary Alumni
Reunion in the article in the recent U of L Magazine. There is, however, a downside
to the article. I’m afraid that you may have started a rumor that I have divorced my
wife, Patricia A. (Lang) Brasch ’70A, and have married Pat Linden, ’69A.
Although she wore herself out helping me put on the seven different events that attracted
750 alumni, Patricia A. (Lang) Brasch remains my first and only wife.
Please correct this error in the next issue of U of L. Thank you. Bill Brasch ’71SLouisville, Kentucky

PLANETARIUM: THE NEXT GENERATION |
|
| The
following letter was written to Dr. William J. Rothwell, U of L vice president
for development and alumni, in support of funding for the Rauch Memorial Planetarium. (For
news about the planetarium’s new facility, see page seven.)
Our future as well as our very substance are linked to space and the exploration of this frontier is of vital importance to the treasure of knowledge of mankind. The Hubble space telescope has shown the mysteries and beauties of our universe and a planetarium is the proper place to experience them. I hope that the University of Louisville will see its way clear to join the rest of the community and make a generous contribution, beside merely the ground, to this invaluable teaching tool.

| GREGG'S INSPIRATION | |
| I
certainly was saddened by the passing of Dr. Robert V. Gregg on July 15, 1997. I was
unaware of this until my winter issue of U of L magazine arrived. Dr.
Gregg was special to me since I had never taken an oral exam nor encountered a professor
with his type of "cutting" humor and wit. I have the "Green Carpet Award" on my desk that I received from Dr. Gregg upon completion of Gross Anatomy. I vividly remember taking my final conference with Dr. Gregg one-on-one. The exam lasted for 45 minutes—probably the toughest 45 minutes of my dental school career. He was certainly a gentleman who turned students into doctors. Dr. Michael W. Dukes, D.M.D. ’71D

| OUTSTANDING ISSUE | |
| Down here in “hot” Florida,
I just received my copy of the Fall U of L Magazine. I think that it is an
outstanding issue. Retirement is working out fine for me, but I do miss all of the good people that I worked with at U of L. I am most fortunate to have had two careers that I enjoyed! Guinn Unger, Retired Medical Administrator |

| MEMORIES OF FATHER | |
| Thank you for the Fall 1997 issue.
The front cover should commemorate . . . my father, Owen T. Deavers, Sr. I was a
child back then, attending Hikes Grade School. I do not recall who the general contractor
was on the U of L administration building . . . I do recall during our evening dinner Dad
discussing (that) he was transferred to U of L to lay out and complete the dome. He was a
construction superintendent... He also did extensive work at Churchill Downs, during the addition period. During his life he taught many of my mother’s brothers the carpentry trade, myself included. I built my first house on Cherokee Garden at age 19, right out of Male High School. My degree from U of L was in business administration, 1955. I passed the state boards in 1956 to become a PE, architectural engineer. Never attended Speed Scientific School . . . Owen T. Deavers, Jr. '55B |
