PLANNING

Thoughts about having a 50 Class of 1963 reunion gave good cause to start havingth

regular gatherings for planning purposes and hence our “First Tuesday” lunches. Luckily,we started gathering a couple of years before the event was to be held. The lunches wereenjoyed by all and have continued through 2014 and hopefully will continue. All classmatesare invited to join. You can contact Twink or just send an email to patsy@amphi63.org toget on the notification list.

After the war, his parents moved back to Kentucky and found their way west toArizona when John and his brother Thomas were little. They lived in Coolidge, Marana and Tucson. AfterJohn’s desire to join the military was halted by a fencing foil accident to an eye, he broadened his major totheatre, speech, communications, journalism, and English. He traveled with friends, taught for a year inHuntington Beach and settled in Coolidge where he married, adopted a little girl and started a drama club andThespian Troupe. He was instrumental in getting the community to support the building of the Coolidge HS

Auditorium. After his first marriage ended, he met Kathy while working on a show in Tucson. They dated for two years,married and moved to Payson. After three years of teaching English, his “experimental afternoon drama classes” turned into afull theatre program. John once again led community influence to build a high school auditorium which is still the primaryperformance venue in Payson. John and Kathy joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church where John first served as a Deaconand then as an Elder and recently as a Sabbath School Bible Teacher. John was preceded in death by his younger brothers,Robert (1995) and Thomas (2010) and his parents, Dallas and Dorothy, in 2000.

Janet Rae Salzman Baron passed away March 25,2012 after fighting a courageous battle against cancer and MS. She diedpeacefully at home with husband Ken Baron at her side. She was born October 22, 1945, in Tucson, Az to Ray and MartySalzman. She grew up with a love of horses, music-especially opera-dance, the arts and an appreciation for the beauty of theoutdoors. Following graduation from the U of Arizona, she moved to Seattle at age 20 and found new passion and success insailboat racing and running a yacht rigging business, meeting her dearest lifelong friends in the process. Wanderlust took heron a three month sojourn to Europe and perhaps led her to the next great chapter of their life. Janet was heavily involved inthe 1990 Peace Climb of Mt. Everest from the stateside base camp in Port Townsend, WA. She was instrumental in reportingto the world, the minute by minute radio data being received from the climbers en route to the summit. Her love ofknowledge, learning, science and exploration became the turn point into a teaching career, first in Seattle then on VashonIsland, where she has lived since 1990. She and Ken Baron married on June 19, 1992, while on one of their numerous greatroad trip adventures-camping or boating, hiking and seeing the country and the world. Retirement from teaching in 2008 wasonly the prelude to her later achievements as she continued teaching the Robotics Program and served many years with thevolunteer PIE Board as secretary then president. She received honorary membership with the Vashon Sportsmen’s Club forher service and support of their community activities. Her continued love of beauty and nature is evident in the home andgarden she and Ken created together and the many friendships they nurtured. Preceded in death by her parents, she issurvived by husband Ken, stepson Trace Baron (Nadia, granddaughter Valerie), sister Joanne Briggs (Greg), cousins EricSalzman (Tomiko, nephew William) and Mark Salzman (Jessica Yu and two nieces)

John Scott(We received this note from Dick Forehand telling us about John Scott)“I’m sorry to let you know so late, but John Scott passed away mid August of this year, 2012. We took a trip back east to seethe grand kids and stopped to see him in Fort Smith. We had a nice dinner and visit and was looking forward to many more. He had beaten the cancer but was still having flashbacks of Viet Nam. Apparently he hit his head and died from a blood clot. His wife found him sitting in his chair. Thanks for connecting John and I back together... we were able to share many phoneconversations and our visit this summer. Please share this information with the Amphi classmates that knew John.”
