The
Chemical Engineering Class of 1956 held their third reunion in the Reitz
Union on November 6, 2004, along with classmates who graduated a semester
later. It was the 48th year after graduation. Attendees were eight
graduates, four of whom were accompanied by their wives. Attending as guests
of the Class were two retired faculty members, Drs. Mack Tyner and Seymour
Block, with his wife, Gertrude, and the interim Department Chair, Professor
Spyros Svoronos. Mack Tyner was accompanied by his son, Mack Tyner, III, an
MD in research at the Shand's Hospital.
The graduates were Bob Agee, Gil Brown, Jack Clement, Roland Foster,
Kenneth Hall, Wendell Hall, Joe Morris and Tom Stewart. The Class presented
a plaque to Professor Block for the Chemical Engineering Department.
Inscribed on the plaque is an ODE TO THE CHEM'Es IN '56. The Ode was
engraved on a polished brass plate that is mounted on mahogany. Contributing
to the plaque were the attendees as well as classmates Al Leybourne, John
Martinez, Gordon Riel, Marvin Shankin and Don Windham. The plaque is now
displayed for public view in the Trophy Case of the Chemical Engineering
Building.
