Lois and Albin. This is a voice from the past. I vaguely remember your parents, but remember you and Lois well. My father, LeMoyne Hogan, was a PhD student at the Univ. of Md from 1957-1962. I remember my brother, John, and I, Betty, riding bikes with you both in the summers and going to a park in College Park where we played tetherball and made a ton of lanyards, bracelets and keychains out of flat plastic. Would love to see you both again.

Joe and Grace: I did not know your father, but Spencer spoke so highly of him that I knew he was a man of integrity and kindness. Our prayers are with you and your family over your loss.
Sincerely,

Lois, Albin & family,
In June, 1966 when I graduated from Catonsville High School I had planned on sleeping that whole summer. My mother had another idea. She saw an ad in the "Arbutus Times" that the new school at the end of Poplar Ave (where we lived) was hiring grounds crew for the summer. So one Saturday morning several of us presented ourselves at the "gray house" to be interviewed by Guy Chisholm, Director of the Physical Plant. We gathered on the porch and saw that two men were there; one was on the phone and the other was on a tractor cutting grass. The man on the phone finished his conversation and one of us stuck our head in door and said, "Dr. Kuhn, we're waiting to see Mr. Chisholm about the summer jobs." The man replied, "I'm Guy Chisholm. The man on the tractor is Dr. Kuhn."
I had letters of admission from UMBC and (then) Towson State. But it was then and there that I decided it was UMBC for me.
That evening at dinner I announced that I had made my decision. Mom wasn't pleased - thought it would be better to go to an established school instead of a brand new one. Later than night my Dad stopped by my room. He told me that I had made the right choice. He said that a leader of any organization who was willing to do the most menial job of the organization was someone to be admired and someone to emulate.
Years later when I was working at the College Park campus, and your Dad was working at the Maryland System office we would have lunch a couple times a year. I enjoyed those lunches and his continued advice and counsel. I am privileged to have known him.

Lois and family: Please accept my deepest sympathies. Dr. Kuhn treated everyone with the same level of respect, from a humble student knocking on the front door to the highest and mightiest in our government and society. I remember him fondly from my brief stay at UMBC and my father (now 85) always spoke in the most respectful and pleasant terms when remebering Dr. Kuhn.
