2012-Oct-01JNEWS: Comerford, Richard [MC1968] Tinkerer Extraordinairehttp://www2.electronicproducts.com/Richard_Comerford_Editor_and_Engineer-article-Qabd_Richard_Comerford_Nov2012-html.aspxThis article was posted on 09/27/2012. Richard Comerford: Editor and Engineer Tinkerer Extraordinaire *** begin quote *** Bryan DeLuca: How did you become interested in Engineering? Richard Comerford: Some say engineers are born, not made. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but from my earliest days I was doing things you could call “precursory engineering”. When I was just 4 or 5, I loved to play in the rain, building dams, redirecting the course of rivulets, and constructing small boats to float on them. Summers at the beach meant building castles with elaborate water moats, anachronistically using dump trucks and steam shovels to construct the ramparts and towers. Once school started in the fall, I would build dioramas and model airplanes from scratch, and make crystal radios using a tubular Quaker Oatmeal cereal box to wrap the necessary wire coils. Afternoons and evening, I could watch shows like Ask Mr. Wizard and The Bell Laboratory Science Series. (I believe the host of the Bell show, Dr. Frank Baxter, was a model for The Muppet Show character Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, although many think it was Lew Grade of ITV, who backed the show. But I digress.) *** and *** My first encounter with serious technology was in the mid-to-late 50s, when I was in my “tweens” and my Dad, who worked as a manager for Consolidated Edison of New York, was involved with one of the first commercial installations of IBM Mainframes. (Katherine Hepburn paid the facility a visit to see what a computer room was like when she was getting ready to make the movie Desk Set with Spencer Tracy.) On weekends when he went to work, I’d tag along with him and got to play with the automated Hollerith card counters that the computers were replacing. One of the technicians, John Orth, took me under his wing and showed me an oscilloscope for the first time. It was a DuMont scope, and I got to make Lissajous patterns on it, like they used in the opening of Outer Limits. But in High School I became more interested in writing. Our house was loaded with books, and my father, mother, three brothers and I were constantly reading. A teacher I had in sophomore year really got me hooked on the world of English literature, from Beowulf and Chaucer, to Shakespeare, to Emily Dickenson and Robert Frost. By the time senior year came, I was faced with the choice of going to Fordham University for Liberal Arts or Manhattan College for Engineering. Ultimately, Manhattan College won out, but my career let me to combine both interests. *** and *** Bryan DeLuca: What is something you think is important that not many people know about you? Richard Comerford: I haven’t only written about technology during my career. When I was doing freelance work for Biography magazine, I interviewed Jeremy Brett, the British actor who played Sherlock Holmes in the original BBC series. It was one of the last interviews he did, and I was amazed at how very down-to-earth he was. He was the consummate professional; he had studied the character of Holmes in depth, basing his portrayal strictly based on Conan Doyle’s work as it appeared in The Strand. For example, he smoked several different types of pipes, including the favorite cherrywood, not just the overly familiar Meerschaum, and he was more likely to appear in a top hat and tails, reserving the deer stalker and Inverness cape to those infrequent trips deep into the countryside. The role seemed to make him an “overnight success”, which was sort of a surprise to him, considering that he‘d performed in many Shakespearean roles with the Old Vic, and appeared in many movies, including War and Peace and My Fair Lady, both with Audrey Hepburn. *** end quote *** # - # - # - # - # Comerford, Richard [MC????] # - # - # - # - # 2012-Oct-01 @ 21:15 Dear John, I believe that Richard is a member of the Class of 1968.

He hopes to inspire others to achieve their goals no matter what. “I kind of wanted to think of a way where I could honor her. She loved gardening and she was always trying to get out to garden and water the plants,” said Kranichfeld of his mother. “I was lucky where I grew up in Rye was sort of on the edge of town near Rye Brook and we actually had three greenhouses on our property and a big field so I got to garden.” His mother died of leukemia in March 2010 while he was living in the Bronx and attending Manhattan College. Soon after, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and cancer. He later lost his eyesight. *** end quote *** Kranichfeld, Andrew “Chowder” [MC2008] # - # - # - # - # 2012-Oct-02 @ 11:33 |
2012-Oct-02JFOUND: Drislan, John [MC1970] aneurysum survivorhttp://stu.westga.edu/~wmaples/drislan.htmlIt Doesn't Always Happen To Someone Else John Drislan Age 64 (Born Dec. 25th in Fall River, Mass.) Presently live in Mt. Pleasant, SC. Graduate of Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass.; Masters Degree from Manhattan College New York; 23 years United States Air Force, navigator (RC-130, B-57, C-141)over 9,000 flying hours; retired as Lt. Col. Taught high school math for one year, then spent 16 years as a Personnel Officer with the Charleston School District. Retired from that position in 1996. Wife Eileen — celebrated 40 years of her tolerating me this past November. Submitted 5/29/98. 97% recovered — still get tired very easily, but I can smell the flowers,and see the sky! Male, 63 years old. Smoker for 48 years (that is at least 350,400 cigarettes). Quit cold turkey. Hospitalized twice previous in my life, in the 6th grade and 10 years ago with colon cancer (no further flare ups). Aneurysm discovered at 2cm, grew to an estimated 6.5cm; but the operation revealed it was 8 or 9 cm. The aneurysum was located in the descending aorta. Surgery performed on Feb. 10, 1997. Released from the hospital on the 14th. Not much pain associated with the hospital stay thanks to the use of an epidural technique. Arriving home had trouble with my bowels for a few weeks (Colace helped). It has been three months since the surgery but I feel myself getting tired a lot quicker than usual. (Really can put meaning to the saying "The spirit is willing but the flesh indeed is weak"). Presently do not take any medications. Do most of the driving and running of errands. Minor (but pesky) irritant has been the growing back of hair on my stomach (whenever clothes rub against the new growth it is very irritating. Have found the use of lotion to keep the hairs "slicked down" has helped. Still have occasional pain on the right side and in the back, but as pointed out to me there were a lot of muscles cut and as I picked up from Bill Maple's last note there are also nerves that have to heal. The more I read the narratives and read over mail from people on the support network I realize how fortunate I am to be alive, and that the pains and irritations that I have are minor compared to what other people have experienced. ##### Drislan, John [MC????] ##### ##### Dear John, I believe that John received his Masters in 1970.

During the thirteenth century in northwest England, in one of the coldest winters in living memory, a formidable yet charming Irish healer, Molly, and the troupe she leads are driving their three wagons, hoping to cross the Pennine Mountains before the heavy snows set in. Molly, her lover Jack, granddaughter Nemain, and young apprentice Hob become aware that they are being stalked by something terrible. The refuge they seek in a monastery, then an inn, and finally a Norman castle proves to be an illusion. As danger continues to rise, it becomes clear that the creature must be faced and defeated—or else they will all surely die. It is then that Hob discovers how much more there is to his adopted family than he had realized. An intoxicating blend of fantasy and mythology, Something Red presents an enchanting world full of mysterious and fascinating characters— shapeshifters, sorceresses, warrior monks, and knights—where no one is safe from the terrible being that lurks in the darkness. In this extraordinary, fantastical world, nothing is as it seems, and the journey for survival is as magical as it is perilous. # - # - # Nicholas, Douglas (MC1964) # - # - # - # - # 2012-Oct-03 @ 19:55 |
