I worked with Betty at Social Security and remember her fond references to Milton during those years and their square dance adventures. My deepest sympathy for the Baer family.

Mr. Baer and his wife attended many of the class reunions for the class of 1963 and all of us appreciated that they came. He was a caring teacher.

I only knew of Mr. Baer through Joshua Baer and Michelle (Baer) Schuchman. They spoke with great respect for a grandfather they loved dearly. When they got home for the holidays, they always tried to see their grandparents and spend time with them. Thanks for making a difference in their lives.

Steve and Family,
Deepest condolences to you and yours.I remember your dad well from giving us rides to our little league games(and your eventual line-drive homer to right field off Dick J.).Your pop had a white VW and forever wore his golf hat.After one game he took us to the root beer stand on M.Falls Ave.It was a time of much turmoil in my life and I lacked direction, to say the least.You went in to use the restroom and your dad and I turned our attention to a shiny,new convertible that had pulled in next to us.
"Jack", he said," I could buy it for cash right now except for one thing-these." And he held up higher the cigarette he'd been smoking, as a magician might hold his hat for audience inspection.
He'd made his point, and I never forgot.The car,by the way, was called a "Mustang."
Best Always,
Jack Kiser,Class of '70
