Robert "Bob" Garber
Hello Earlham, I have realized that had I graduated from Earlham (and had I graduated on time) I would be on the verge of celebrating the 40th anniversary of said graduation. As it is I graduated from San Francisco State College in 1971. I have tho been holding my own one-at-a-time reunions over the past few years with people who were at Earlham when I was there. I must admit none of these people graduated from Earlham either. Tim Stutzman (who I have known since I was 14), Robby Meeropol '69, Joe Horton '69, Arnie Gubins '67, Mary White '69, (just saw her in Berkeley). So, I say hello to all the other people I knew at Earlham. I'd be happy to reune with you too.

I have set foot on campus only once since I graduated, but my oldest son, Sergio, recently married, is now living in Troy, OH, so I can combine my trip up from Brazil to the US to visit family with a trip to the reunion next year. I've already been in contact with Anne Geiger Oliphant '68 and hope to make contact with others. My husband, retired from Unilever Foods, and I teach English as Second Language to students of all ages (mostly individuals)and do translations. We have 2 cats and an empty nest since both sons live in the states. Earlhamites are welcome! We're in Valinhos, 90 km north of the city of Sao Paulo. Email: Email Evelyn de Oliveira
