ESB ’73

ESB 1973 | Charles Schuster

Charles “Chuck” Schuster gave us an update:

“As some of you may know, my family had many close ties with Dwight. My grandmother Alice Coxe worked in the Little School. My mom Adelaide and her sisters Neal and Lal went to Dwight. My sisters Peg, Allie, and Liz all went there. When I went to my 45th reunion and Allie Kissam Delventhal D ’68 was at her 50th, I found mounted on a wall a letter our mom had written when she was a junior describing her youthful joy at finding the hidden teddy bear Geoffrey, before the seniors, apparently an annual tradition in days past. While I was a student my mom worked as a secretary for the Dwight Headmaster.

Since I graduated in 1973, I was part of the last ESB class while my late sister Elizabeth (“Liz”) Woolsey Schuster ’74, who graduated the next year (complete with a streaker!) was part of the 1st joint Dwight-ESB graduating class. I’ve been a teacher around the world ever since and remember the teachers at Dwight-Englewood, some very fondly, (and a few as role models of what not to do as a teacher) Going back last October for my 50th was a treat including a fire drill at 7:00 PM for us 68-year-olds. Thanks for the memories.

All the best, Charles (“Chuck”) Schuster from Jakarta, Indonesia.”

Dwight and ESB Classes of 1973 gathered outside on Leggett Field for their 50th reunion group photo due to the fire alarm. Chuck is in the middle of the last row.
