(Note)
I was getting this Article ready and my brother Neil said it would be so much better if we knew the names of the Class. As things happen, I saw an article in the Olean Times Herald about a Ferdinand Gunzberger who was still serving in Potter Co. at age 95. I then called PHGS member Mikell in Coudersport, PA to see if she could get in touch with Ferdy, as he is called. I asked her to explain to him what we were doing and see if he could meet him at the Historical Building in Coudersport. I took the pictures to him and introduced myself. I told him about reading the article in the Olean Times Herald and he said he didn't know why they had to go and do that. He is a wonderful person and has a great sense of Humor. He had no trouble at all remembering the names of all these Students. He and my Father, Mark J. Ferguson were both in the graduation Class and on the track team. They called him Ferdy and my Dad Fergie.
When I asked him if I could use his name for this article he said it
was ok as long as no one called him about getting their name wrong. He
wants no fuss make about him, he said. I must say that day at the Historical
Building in Coudersport, Pa he had the full attention of at least 6 women,
and we were all making a fuss over him. Thank you Ferdy for a wonderful
afternoon.
