Haddonfield65 Club
The Retired Men’s Club of Haddonfield
110 Rhoads Ave
President’s Message
Since there
was no June Newsletter, there is a lot of news to catch up on. The Club held its annual Spring Luncheon on
May 14th. The luncheon
Committee, chaired by Bob Parsons did a fine job in putting together another
enjoyable event. Bob and Bill Brown also put together a visual presentation
recounting the 60 year history of the club.
Contrary to their promises, they did not produce any charter members of
the Club.
The clubs
regular activities are and will continue throughout the summer.
Congratulations
to Bernie Schaming who received the William Hitchens Service Award in
recognition of his long-term service to the Club.
In addition
to the regular Wednesday outings, the Club’s Golfers turned out in force to
participate in Tournaments aiding the Heart of Camden and CORA Services. The
Club’s John Mapes is on the Board of both of these deserving charities.
Recent trips
included a visit to Dover Air Force Base.
As usual, the
Club will march in the Fourth of July Parade. Anyone interested in
participating should contact the Parade Chairman, Mike Underwood.
Because there will be no August Newsletter, we
will try to keep you posted as to upcoming events at the Thursday membership
meetings and by email and telephone. The
weekly membership meetings, trips, bridge, pinochle, bowling and golf will
continue throughout the summer.
Have a safe
and fun-filled summer.

The End of College (as we knew it)?
I recently
went back to my Alma Mater (LaSalle) for the 50 year reunion of the class of
1965. There were 55 grads in attendance. We got “Golden Explorers” medallions,
a bus tour of the new buildings on campus, a nice dinner, and a speech from the
acting president. He said that of course there had been many changes since we
were students: In ’65 LaSalle was all
men; now 65 percent of the students are women; then, the Christian Brothers
held all the top posts, now the incoming president is a Canadian woman; then 70
percent of the students were commuters, now most live on-campus; then annual
tuition was $800. But LaSalle’s mission was still the same: to provide a
practical, Christian education to the students, most of whom were still the
first generation in their families to attend college. He hoped we would
continue our generous support of university, perhaps by a bequest in our will.
He noted that most students needed some kind of financial aid. In response to a question from of the alums,
he said that the current annual cost of tuition, room and board and fees at
LaSalle was $58,000.
That figure
was a jaw dropper; Over $200,000 for a four year degree from LaSalle? Twenty years ago when I was sending my sons
to college the joke was that paying for college was like buying a new Chevy or
Ford every year. Now, it’s like buying a Lexis or BMW! No wonder student loan
debt is the second largest category of consumer debt in the country, exceeded
only by home mortgage debt. You have to wonder how long this can go on.
In fact the
“higher education sector” is already facing major, wrenching changes driven by
escalating costs, new technologies, and the role of entrepreneurial “for profit” schools/companies such as the
University of Phoenix, DeVry University and Corinthian Colleges.
The Internet,
Wi-Fi, and the proliferation of ever-more-portable devices to connect to anyone
anywhere mean students do not have to come to campus and sit in a classroom to
be exposed to lectures, interact with teachers, hand in papers, and even take
exams. Prestigious universities like M.I.T. are offering “MOOCs” (Massive
On-line Open Courses) on the Web for free which other schools can accept for
degree credit. Before I retired in 2011, Rutgers was offering faculty members
$3,000 to put courses they currently taught on line. But you had to sign an agreement giving the
university all the rights to that particular course material.
There are a
growing number of higher education organizations that are bypassing the need
for a large physical campus, and reducing the cost of labor by having
assistants update on-line courses originally developed by relatively expensive
professors. They provide an opportunity for students to get the facts and the
information. They don’t provide and the students don’t expect to get the more
intangible aspects of the “college experience.” The Ivy League schools and most
of the major state universities will certainly handle the challenges and
preserve much of the “college experience” for those who can afford it. Smaller
private and religious schools with modest endowments (like LaSalle) will have a
bigger challenge. I’m hoping (and
betting my alumni contributions) that these smaller liberal arts type schools
can make it through these challenging times. Go Explorers!

WALLY’S NOTES # 1
We use words
and phrases every day. But do you know how they come into being? Well, I’m
going to enlighten you.
‘A SHOT OF WHISKEY’
In the old
days, they mostly served whiskey in bars because it was too hard for them to
keep beer cold. A .45 caliber cartridge for a six-gun cost about 12 cents; so
did a glass of whiskey. If a cowhand was low on cash, he would often give the
bartender a cartridge in exchange for a drink. This became known as a shot of
whiskey. And that’s the way it was - - - - more or less.
50th Anniversary
Gordon W. Krauss met his wife Rosemarie in Newfoundland where he was assigned as airborne cic officer
and air controller in an Airborne Early Warning Squadron flying nonstop all-weather barrier flights from
Argentia, Newfoundland to Lages in the Azores and back. Gordon grew up in Haddonfield where he
graduated in 1952. He graduated from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn. His wife was born in
St. John, Newfoundland, a British Subject. Gordon owns and operated G. H. Krauss Manufacturing Co. in
Cherry Hill. He met Rosemarie (Dolly) Stamp in St John's where she lived and worked as a TV fashion model
and department store buyer. Dolly was a friend's date for the evening and Gordon had a blind date with a
friend of hers. Soon after, Dolly and Gordon began dating. Dolly moved to Louisiana at the invitation of a
girlfriend and her Air force Husband, Bill and Dottie Martin from Audubon. She did some TV advertising in
Lake Charles and New Orleans. After a brief courtship of about seven years Gordon and Dolly were married
on August 28, 1965. They have two sons raised in Haddonfield – Gordon G. Krauss, Phd and Gregory W.
(GW) Krauss, Psyd. Gordon is a professor of engineering design at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont,
California. GW is assistant director at the Yale School in Cherry Hill, NJ.
They still spend summers in Newfoundland
and will be spending their 50th anniversary there also.
