From Ira Rubtchinsky: I’m 80. And so are many—maybe most—of you Red Devils from the Class of ’65. Diane (Buffalo State Class of ’66) and I moved out of Albany over ten years ago and last year moved to Highland Beach, Fla. It’s Memorial Day as I write this. For years when we lived in Albany, on this day I would bike from my home, up Western Avenue, and over Fuller Road to visit the graves of various relatives in cemeteries there, wind up at the Albany Rural Cemetery for the Presidential Honors Ceremony at the grave of Chester A. Arthur (twentyfirst president), and then over to the Corning plot to pay my respects to Mayor Corning (non-partisan since the former was a Republican and the latter a Democrat!). Then, having expended hundreds of calories biking, I would return home with a stop at an open Stewart’s Shop for a needed donut. I miss doing that. Regards to my fellow classmates. Good health and long life!
