Hi,

I just found your organization/newsletter. I worked at SCS from 1982-88, with a couple of later stints as a consultant. Maybe I should have stayed longer. I was an electrical engineer in the group supporting Edwin I. Hatch, and worked for Steve Sisson.

I’ve been going through old photos and digitizing them, and found the attached photos from April 1985. One is Henry Vincent, whom I understand from your website passed away in 2013. The other is Hue Van Le, a brilliant electrical engineer whom I hope is well. I also fondly remember E. Carter Leonard, who encouraged me to obtain my Professional Engineering registration, and I hope that he is still around.

Henry Vincent

Hue Van Le

I left Birmingham in 1994, returning to Florida, where I’d grown up. I worked there in the water/wastewater treatment industry. In 2004, I decided to switch careers and I moved to Pittsburgh, where I attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. Upon graduating in 2007, I moved to New York City, where I work as a patent attorney. I married in March 2014 — I wish I could have married much earlier– and my wife and I enjoy hiking. I have a photoblog (mostly of vacations and hikes) at http://www.lowmileage.com

Best regards,

Charles Stein

UPDATE (12/15/2015): Carol Yeager is at home recovering from a light heart attack. She asks for no phone calls.

FROM: DORA BRANDT (11/20/2015)

We just found out that Carol Yeager is in the hospital having tests. If she improves she might be going home soon.

Also, found out that her husband Dewey has been in the hospital but he is home now and they have a home care nurse since Carol had to go to the hospital.

Carol is in Brookwood hospital in room 379 and her telephone is 877-5379 in case you want to check on her.

Please pray for Carol and Dewey’s recovery.

Our annual Holiday luncheon was held on Thursday, November 5, 2015 at the Vestavia Country Club where we enjoyed a nice meal and were entertained by the ex-Woodlawn High School “Warblers”.  We also elected our 2016 officers and gave donations to several worthy charitable organizations. Here are some pictures…

We hoped you enjoyed it!

Dora Brandt just received a call from Mrs. Peggy Hinton. Her husband William Hinton recently had a heart attack and he is recuperating in the hospital. He is better and is expected to be home sometime this week.

Please keep Mr. Hinton and his family in your prayers.

I hope everyone is making plans to attend our holiday lunch on November 5^th at the Vestavia Country Club.  We have an excellent lunch planned with entertainment presented by the Warblers Club.  The Warblers Club is a men’s choral group that has its roots in the original Warblers Club of Woodlawn High School.  Most of the current, active performers were members of the Woodlawn High Warblers during their high school days. This will be a great program.  If you have not sent your reservation in please do so ASAP.  October 28^th is the last day you can reserve a spot.

We are adding a new feature to our lunch this year.  To get the spirit of the season started off right I am asking everyone to bring a few canned goods or an unwrapped toy to the lunch.   We will have a box to collect the food and toys and take them to Greater Birmingham Ministries for distribution to folks that need a little help this year.  Greater Birmingham Ministries (GBM) was founded on 1969 in response to urgent human and justice needs in the greater Birmingham area. GBM is a multi-faith, multi-racial organization that provides emergency services to people in need.

We will hold our annual officer election at our next meeting.  Our nominating committee presents the following as nominees for the club offices.

Board of Directors –

Sid Varagona
Jackie Imbush
Gerald Aultman
David Strack

President – John McCoy

Vice President – Keith Calhoun

Hope to see you at our meeting on November 5th.
