THE CADET GAZETTE Founded 1893 Free Want Ads Millersburg, Kentucky Saturday, May 18, 2000 MMI Class of 1975 Holds First Reunion by Bertha Butts, Society Editor Graduates from Millersburg Military Institute’s class of 1975 met today for the first time since receiving their diplomas twenty five years ago. This reporter found it quite intriguing to interview the former cadets on the campus of their high school alma mater. The reunion was organized by Robert H. Krause, the class president, who indicated that he had initiated plans for the reunion in 1980, and through perserverance and dili- gence to the task had managed to finalize the details in April of this year. Mr. Krause introduced this reporter to each member of the class and also provided invaluable infor- mation and insight into the careers of his former classmates. It very quickly became ap- parent that the successes of this small group made Horatio Alger look like a pauper. Douglas McFarlan, known to his former classmates as Fat Daddy, has risen in the business world to head his own company, McFarlan's Laundry and Florist Shops. McFar- 14 Ian credited a great deal of his success to the experience he gained as laundry officer while at MMI and to his early interest in flowering plants. When asked about the unusual combination comprising his company, McFarlan smiled and quoted his company's slo- gan: Flowers by any other name could never smell as sweet as our socks and BVD's. Mr. McFarlan was accompanied by his wife, the former Miss Gertrude Blatz, and their two children, Rosie and Posey. Mr. Roy Unversaw was accompanied to the reunion by his business partner, Mr. Jack Richie. Together Mr. Unversaw and Mr. Richie run a chain of movie theaters throughout Kentucky and Florida. The Royjak Company is owned exclusively by the two men who also serve as the board of directors. The company has prospered and the part- ners work so well together that each has nominated the other for president of the com- pany. Gregory Allen Frankel, founder and sole owner of World Construction Enterprises, was accompanied by his wife and four children. Frankel's engineering background even- tually turned to architecture and construction. Having built various structures through- out the world, Frankel has apparently hit upon the magic formula for building innovation. Each of his building projects has been patterned after the Learning Tower of Pisa. Fran- kel aptly summed up the basis for his success by saying most people consider the Tower to be off-kilter when actually ahe ground is not level. I knew it all the time! Capt. Jonathan Hill of the Honolulu Police Department has headed the Five-0 Division of Narcontics and Vice for the past eleven years. He recently received national recogni- tion by busting a ring of hula dancers for possession of grass. He received a departmen- tal citation for his work. Dr. G. Floras Beam, who is the National Director of Occupational Therapists, at- tended the reunion with Mike Catron, his longtime friend, collegue, and fellow class- mate. Mr. Catron is the Regional Supervisor for the National Park Service. He is direct- ly responsible for 412 Ranger Stations and 937 Forest Rangers in the Mid-West Region comprised of Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas. Both Dr. Beam and Capt. Ca- tron indicated that they had worked closely together for the past few years. Capt. Catron stated that often Rangers contract a severe case of the lonelies and are sent to Dr. Beam's clinic where they undergo intensive therapy in basket weaving, flower arrange- ment, and bead work. The therapy not only reinforces their dedication to forestry but also increases their professional compeaence for the times when they must escort Camp- fire Fire Girls through densely wooded areas. Mr. Keith McWilliams, a very distinguished looking gentleman with a Van Dyke beard, corn cobb pipe, and yellow beret, revealed that he worked as a consultant for two prestigeous organizations: The Family, a New York based firm, and Syndicated Enter- prises of Las Vegas. Mr. McWilliams indicated that he was unable to elaborate on his duties due to the highly confidential nature of his work. He did, however, reveal that his work dealt with bank vaults, deposit boxes, and various types of alarm systems. Two members of the class were unable to attend due to conflicting schedules. Frank Rosselot and Mike Howell are both on active duty with the United States government. Howell, a Lt. Colonel, is currently liason officer with the Buckaboo pygmy tribe in Ken- ya, Africa. Frank Rosselot, an Army Colonel, is Chief of Intelligence for the Associa- tion of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States. Robert Krause, who assisted greatly in compiling this data, revealed that his own ca- reer had many similarities with those of Howell and Rosselot. After graduating from law school, Krause served as a legal officer for five years with the U. S. Army where he re- ceived valuable training for his career in politics. Krause is now Head Page Boy at the American Embassy in Shangraia, Mongolia. 15 OFFICERS JR. CLASS President Randy Sadler Cincinnati, Ohio Sec - Treas.
