siblings, and death records. Many members of the Class have been moved from the
first two tables into the Deceased table. They are: Mary Ann Alexander Bennett, of Des Moines, Iowa, April 12, 2016; with the Class of '43 in the '39 Jordannus, graduated in 1942.

| 4/24/10 | George Earl Huntington Jr. died peacefully at his home on
April 22, surrounded by family and caregivers. George was born in Bloomington.
His brother John T. Huntington preceded him in death. He loved to hike in the
woods, read a good book, and tell fascinating stories. He is survived by his
children and their families. George grew up in Bloomington, and it strengthened a deep love for the surrounding area and the community. During this time he developed his lifelong love of hiking and camping. As a teenager, George pursued his love for adventure and turned a passion for flying into an interesting first job. George graduated from the former University High School and attended Indiana University for two years before enrolling in the FBI Academy as preparation for his over forty-year career in law enforcement. From the late forties through the late sixties, he gave twenty of years of service to the Bloomington Police Department, eight as Chief of Police. Following his retirement from the city, he earned a B.A. in criminal justice from Indiana University and worked at the Kinsey Institute while completing his studies. In the early seventies, he began an over-twenty-year career as Chief of the Indiana University Police Department, Bloomington campus. He also served the community as a deputy coroner for decades. Following his retirement from Indiana University in the early nineties he was elected to two consecutive terms as Monroe County Coroner. |

of '44 Reunion Photos. Dear Fred Just wanted to let you know that Philip Morrison passed away in Largo Florida last Sunday. I don't know how many '43 people are on the UHS site but you might add this in there. We were sorry to miss the '44 reunion that you all invited our class to join. We knew that Phil was failing rapidly and we wanted to make a quick trip down there to see them. It turned out that our only time to do this included that weekend. I had hoped to spend some time with Phil but he was hospitalized just before we arrived. We were able to see him but he was so heavily sedated that there was little we could do but let him know that we were there. I was able to see the photographs from the reunion on the web and really wish we could have been there. My thanks to those who make such communication possible. Bill & Fran Overman |
