Horace Mann - Summer 2016 - 43
Class Notes
at HM left a major influence on my future
academic and professional life. It culminated
in Phi Beta Kappa at Columbia College and
Alpha Omega Alpha at Columbia College of
Physicians and Surgeons. It led to a Clinical
Professorship in Orthopaedic Surgery at the
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine,
from which I retired in 1987. Thanks again for
the happy memories. Tragically, public school
in New York City, Philadelphia (where I worked
from 1952 to 1987), and in rural Troy County,
PA remains deficient. My two sons attended
Episcopal Academy and my daughter attended
Friends Select School, all in Philadelphia. I wish
I knew what our society can do to improve
public schooling." Dr. Martin and Wilma Beller
retired to Gaines, PA, "my wife's hometown, in
1987. Have three children, nine grandchildren,
and one great-grandchild." Prof. Sidney Axinn
writes "My grandson (Dr. Aaron Johnson)
and I published an article 'The Morality of
Autonomous Robots' in the Journal of Military
Ethics (2013.) Horace Mann Magazine adds: Dr.
Axinn is Courtesy Professor in the Philosophy
Department at the University of South Florida.
He chaired the Philosophy Department at
Temple University for 15 years, and is Professor
Emeritus there. He has taught or lectured in
Japan, South Korea, Hungary, England, and
Belgium, as well as West Point and the South
Korea Military Academy, and is the author of A
Moral Military-Revised Edition, Sacrifice and
Value: A Kantian Interpretation, The Logic of
Hope: Extensions of Kant's View of Religion,
and over 40 articles in philosophy journals.
1942
Don Hillman celebrated his 91 birthday on April
st
3, 2016. The television pioneer, who was hired
as a stage manager at NBC and was quickly elevated to the position of director, produced the
first live telecast of the Macy's Thanksgiving
Day Parade for NBC. Hillman went on to become the first executive producer of National
Educational Television (NET), which became
the Public Broadcasting System (PBS, Inc.) in
1970. Hillman remains active swimming and
attending Broadway plays with his wife Enid.
1943
David Schaefer (Emeritus Associate Professor
in the Electrical and Computer Engineering
Department at George Mason University, and
an expert on Lewis Carroll) wrote: "As part of
Alice 150 (www.alice150.com) the celebration
of the 150th anniversary of the publication of
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in October
(2015) I exhibited (and talked about) Lewis
Carroll-related motion pictures from my Lewis
Carroll film collection at Lincoln Center, and
at the New York Institute of Technology. I am
conducting interesting experiments with
video-to-audio conversion software."
Asked by a friend how he wanted to
celebrate his 90th birthday Richard Gottlieb
(above) answered, "With a visit to Horace
Mann." The visit was arranged for April 29,
2015 when the alumnus flew to New York
and spent a day on the Horace Mann School
campus, meeting students, and having lunch
in the office of HM Head of School Dr. Tom
Kelly, along with HM Director of Development
Melissa Parento '90 and Director of Alumni
Relations Kristin Lax. Richard also visited an
American History class where he shared with
students some of his experiences as a World
War II veteran who enlisted in the US Army at
age 17, just after graduating from HM. He became a B-24 gunner and gunner-instructor to
high-ranking officers, received a Distinguished
Unit Citation, participated in an Honor Flight to
Washington D.C. in 2014, and was recognized
with a Congressional citation. Gottlieb was
thrilled with his HM visit. He celebrated again
on Sept. 5, 2015, his actual birthdate, with
friends in Alamosa, CO. Richard continues to
pursue his passion for photography. Below is a
photo he took at Colorado's Great Sand Dunes
National Park where he once worked.
1944
Dr. Richard R.P. Warner writes that he is "still
working fulltime at (his) medical practice, research and teaching. Horace Mann Magazine
adds: Dr. Warner, along with his patients
and family members, founded the Carcinoid
Cancer Foundation in 1968 to perpetuate his
research relating to serotonin and carcinoid
syndrome. Among his scores of publications
on cancer is the publication, in 1958, of his research that presented the first description of
carcinoid syndrome resulting from bronchial
carcinoid. Today Dr. Warner is Professor of
Medicine, Director of the Center for Carcinoid/
Neuroendocrine Tumors at Mount Sinai School
of Medicine, and Medical Director of the
Carcinoid Cancer Foundation.
1947
Peter J. Schlesinger writes, "After 26 years
of retirement living in Florida, we sold our
home in February 2015. We are now living
in Bedminster, N.J. not too far from our son
Avram (Schlesinger '90 [HM] faculty for over
15 years) and our granddaughter Alie." Prof.
Andrew Hacker, Professor Emeritus in the
Department of Political Science at Queens
College in New York and a former math
professor as well, published The Math Myth:
And Other STEM Delusions in March 2016.
(to be covered in next issue of Horace Mann
Magazine.)
1948
Bob Sandler and his wife Barbara celebrated
their 62nd wedding anniversary in December
2015 "and our third great grandchild" in July
2015. He writes: "I stay in touch with several
classmates. All is good. I'm still vertical!" Jay
Miller writes: "Still actively practicing law.
Mostly involved as a director of large financial
institutions here and in Europe."
1949
Dr. Theodore Jacobs wrote: "I am continuing
to practice psychoanalysis and psychotherapy
in New York City and have published a collection of essays on psychoanalysis called The
Possible Profession; The Analytic Process
of Change. I am also working on my second
novel, this time a mystery-romance." Richard
Kleid informs classmates that he is still on the
Town Council in Palm Beach, Fla. "having won
hotly contested election. At end of present
term will have served 11 years. Also, acting as
an alumnus interviewer for Columbia College."
Dan Alexander received the inaugural Lifetime
