Began my work life at GC for a 5 year development stint in Alumni and Community Relations (’68-’73).Our daughters were born in late ’73 prompting us to move back home to eastern PA. After a year in realestate, I began a 12 year experience as Business Manager and Development Director at Penn ViewChristian School (’74 –’86). While at Penn View I also managed a small Mennonite property / casualtyinsurance company, Franconia Mennonite Aid Plan. The company purchased and developed a 12acres campus for church related entities in 1984. In 1986, I began my insurance career full timemanaging Franconia Mennonite Aid Plan and a new agency which served Mennonite Mutual Aid (nowEverence) and a number of related companies. I purchased the agency in 1994 and establishedFranconia Insurance & Financial Services (FIFS). FIFS, an independent insurance agency, grewto become the largest agency for Goodville Mutual Casualty Company and has continued to be a localleader in property casualty, life and health and financial services. I continue as a director of GoodvilleMutual. In 2013 I sold my interest in the agency to 3 three partner associates and continued to workuntil December 2016 when I retired.3. We are members of Blooming Glen Mennonite Church where I had served in a number of leadershipand committee roles. I continue to be involved in the music program as a choir member. For the past 14years I have been a board member of Peter Becker Community, a Church of the Brethren ContinuingCare Retirement Community (CCRC). Currently I am board chair for Peter Becker. Since 2005 I haveserved as chair of MHEP Properties, a property management entity created by the MennoniteHistorians of Eastern PA. MHEP owns and is located on the campus created in 1984. Since 2003 Ihave served on the Lower Salford Township Zoning Hearing Board and current am board chair.4. We enjoy travel which began mostly with the GC Educational Tours sponsored by the college directedby Janette Yoder spouse of classmate Doug Yoder. We were on 5 GC trips – Greece and theCyclades; Turkey; England, Scotland and Wales; Eastern Europe; and Spain, Portugal. In addition toGC travel we have been on 3 Italy tours as well as to Croatia. Since GC has discontinued Educationaltours, we have taken couple of Viking River cruises to sailing on the Seine and Rhone in France andcentral Europe on the Danube. Gardening has continued to be my favorite past time. Growing up with avegetable garden transformed into a focus on roses, perennials and annuals as well as vegetableseach season.5. Any memory of Goshen College becomes a collage of college life during my 4 years plus the yearsfollowing on staff. How could I forget Sam Steiner of Menno-Pause fame my freshman roommate, 7amchoir rehearsal with touring choir, touring choir trip during Palm Sunday tornado, Kenwood House – Jryear, WGCS, 91.1 FM, Fine Arts with Mary Oyer and hours in the listening room, Frank Bishop andJonathan Roth passion for bio.

David KauffmanSome memories from Goshen College. I was in the class of '68, but attended GC only in '64' fall term & '65spring term. Then I did 3 years at Purdue, graduating in '68.1. See if you can dig up that picture from the GC Record of the sidewalk lined with briefcases, on a nice daywhen we didn't expect rain or snow, we left our briefcases, full of books, sitting beside a sidewalk, and took toclass only the book we needed for that class. At Purdue, nobody left their books unattended. Stealingtextbooks & selling them back to the bookstores was a common way of picking up extra spending money atPurdue.2. At Purdue, I'm sure we partied & drank a lot more than the students did at GC. Even in the dorms. Andespecially in the fraternities. Some of the frats had professional hookers at their parties. And some of thenon-professionals that were invited to the parties were only a notch above the professionals on the skankyscale. I wasn't in a fraternity, so this is all hearsay.3. At GC, almost all of my professors knew me by name, even the ones with large lecture classes. At Purdue,absolutely none did; not even the ones with small classes of 25-30 students. Most of the instruction was doneby grad students, so we often didn't ever meet the professor they taught for. One of the grad instructors nevershowed up for Saturday classes because of his Friday night partying habits. One time he missed 2 weeksbecause he was in jail in Illinois. He single-handedly stopped an Illinois touchdown by tackling the runner. Thetouchdown was counted of course. When I volunteered for the Navy in 1968 (I was not a Mennonite), I neededa letter of recommendation from 1 college professor. I didn't know even one at Purdue who knew me, so Iturned to a GC professor, J. Dan Hess, for a letter. He wrote one for me, but the navy and army didn't want mebecause of my eyes. That's probably one reason I'm alive today.4. My best friend at GC was Tom Harley. He was one of the 4 students that were expelled from GC in '66 or'67 for publishing 2 issues of the Menno-Pause. Chances are good that I would have been in that circle andwould have suffered a similar consequence had I been at GC that year. I lost touch with him after that, but Ire-connected with him in '14 when we had our 50-year high school class reunion. He bounced back I think andhad a good life. One of the 4 committed suicide though, but it may not have been connected to his expulsion,He was semi-out-of-the-closet gay in an era when that was not an acceptable lifestyle. He should have justhung tough for a decade or two and life would have improved for him. But he didn't. Sam Steiner landed well.Last I heard from him he was a professor at the University of Kitchener in Ontario.5. My second-best friend there was Tom Harmon. I attended his wedding to an Amish girl and re-connectedwith him in the 70's when he was a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. His wife was deceased by then. Idon't remember if he met her at GC or not.6. One of the boys in my class at GC in '65 had longish hair, which was rare at GC, but not totally unheard ofin those pre-hippie days. It was combed back in a stylish fashion. One day I saw him walking across campuswith his parents. They were Amish; his hair was down in dutch-boy fashion, and he was wearing full Amishclothes, including the hat.7. One of the biggest scandals at GC when I was there was when a physical education professor walkedacross campus in shorts. OMG!! I think her name was Vickie Goodenough, but I'm not sure. I don't rememberseeing her that day, but it sure was talked about for days after.

David Kauffman continued.8. The second biggest scandal was when an off-campus GC "hootenanny" turned into a full-fledged dance,when dancing was not permitted. I don't know what the consequences were.In retrospect I wish I had stayed at GC and graduated there. I think my life would have turned out better. Ienjoyed a successful I/T career at General Motors & Electronic Data Systems, retiring in 2007. However, myfamily life left something to be desired, and probably was a consequence of my lifestyle at Purdue. TheChristian lifestyle that was preached and taught by example at GC would hopefully have influenced me in abetter direction than the hedonistic and materialistic lifestyle taught at Purdue. But then again, if I had beenexpelled in '66 or '67, maybe I would have landed at Purdue anyway. Nobody knows.I do a lot of volunteer work with my church and we manufacture hand-cranked vehicles, which we ship todeveloping countries to give mobility to leg-handicapped people.The websites are: http://www.petinternational.org (international organization) http://www.petmieastmi.org (local chapter in East Michigan)Well, I'm done reminiscing about my GC days. I might make it to the reunion, but I don't know yet. Hope thatyou have a good one. Good luck. Keep up the good work there.To God be the Glory.

Titus King407 Pringle DriveGoshen, IndianaMobile 517-416-4487titusking1@gmail.comCULTURE FOR SERVICE dovetails nicely with my family upbringing. After graduating GC that principle guidedmy work world for almost forty years as a public school teacher, most often in grades 5-9.For the past eleven years of retirement, voluntary service locally and internationally have given me satisfactionand motivation. Currently one day a week at Camp Friedenswald, a member of the Mennonite ChurchCamping Association, is spent contributing mainly in the Facilities area. The camp is located in Michigan athirty minute drive north of my Goshen west side residence. Month long or longer blocks of volunteering morerecently were again in Tucson, in the Mennonite Mission Network SOOP program working with three nonprofits- Community Home Repair Projects of Arizona, Native Seeds/SEARCH, and Watershed Management Group;and in Saipan, The (USA) Commonwealth of the North Mariana Islands typhoon disaster relief with FEMA andMennonite Disaster Service. Multiple week volunteer stints began several years in the 1990s teaching Englishin the summer language institutes at Lithuania Christian College (now LCI International University) in Klaipeda,Lithuania, on the Baltic Sea. Subsequent terms were at LCCIU completing the first dormitory building project,numerous times with MDS in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, and in month long stints in Jamestown, Colorado,Pateros, Washington, and Sulfur Springs, West Virginia. [In Colorado I reconnected with classmate DougSwartzendruber and with Bob and Donna Richer Oswald who I had not seen since college days.] Previouslyour farthest volunteering was at the Haggai Institute on the Hawaiian island of Maui as hotel blue collarworkers in support roles for persons learning advanced leadership training skills over twenty-five days;identified Christians, 75% in business and government jobs, 25% in religious leadership, from The GlobalSouth who are now are better equipped to be leaders.My Silverwood Mennonite Church, the local Lacasa affordable housing not for profit, the Goshen InterfaithHospitality Network , the Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale and Auction, and the local Mennonite CentralCommittee The Depot Thrift Shops provide opportunities for intermittent sharing of my volunteer time.After graduating Bethany Christian High School, Goshen, I enrolled at Eastern Mennonite College for 1964-65,then transferred to Goshen College. GC study was interrupted January 1967-August 1969 to serve twenty-fourcontiguous months of alternate service as a conscientious objector to military service at New York MedicalCenter. I worked in the Pediatrics Department in Bellevue Hospital headed by Saul Krugman who haddeveloped the Rubella vaccine, and matriculated at night through tuition remission at New York University inGreenwich Village.Returning to Goshen, I finished my degree requirements, including a tenor voice recital and testing out of a(German) language requirement, and student teaching my last semester. At Middlebury, Indiana, schools Itaught music for one year, then taught music at St. Clair Shores, Michigan, (a Detroit suburb) for two years.Ann Arbor (Saline Area Schools) was my work world until 2007, music mostly, grades ranging from 2-12 general music, choir, orchestra, band, and guitar, with sometimes assignments in world geography, history ofthe U.S., algebra, and literature.When a middle school team teacher I developed electives relating to my long time birding interest. (In additionto birdwatching, and using optics to learn about birds and bird behavior, I had joined the North American

Titus King continued.Bluebird Society in the 1970s and had begun erecting bird houses since farmers had begun to use steel posts.That resulted in a 40 box bluebird trail that required a weekly monitoring inspection.) And in night flying bats.And in native bees. Activities in those elective classes included construction and assembly of bird boxes, bathouses, and bee condos.Now I have the satisfaction of those three construction/assembly activities at Camp Friedenswald, with youthcamps, with family camps, and with retreat camps. And with my grandchildren who live in Rockford, Illinois,Chelsea, Michigan, and West Lafayette, Indiana. (We have children in Asheville, North Carolina andMishawaka, Indiana also.) Yes, there is a bat house on my Goshen house, Eastern Bluebirds, Tree Swallows,and House Wrens nest in boxes there, and Mason Bees occupy bee condo blocks of wood as well.My wife of sixteen years, Joy (Kropf) Kauffman King, and I are discerning life choices going forward as werecognize our energy levels take more of an effort to maintain. Local commitments, amount of travel,volunteering for multiple weeks away from home, garden or not garden next season, and aging in place versusdownsizing into association living or a planned retirement community are the major topics of our conversations.We are grateful

insurance company, Franconia Mennonite Aid Plan. The company purchased and developed a 12 acres campus for church related entities in 1984. In 1986, I began my insurance career full time managing Franconia Mennonite Aid Plan and a new agency which served Mennonite Mutual Aid (now Everence) and a number of related companies.
