Three Fortunate Mistakes

Michigan Engineer apologizes to Pete, Chuck and Herbert. We never thought we'd be happy to learn that we made a mistake. But, in this case, we're delighted.

William "Pete" Guild (BSE NAME '67) wrote to Michigan Engineer to say that "as Mark Twain once is to have said, 'The rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated.' … A fellow classmate called to offer his condolences (nice of him). Anyway, I am still kicking, but I'll let you know if that changes."

Charles "Chuck" Loeher, Jr. (BSE EE '65), whose name also appeared in the "In Memoriam" section of the spring 2005 Michigan Engineer, let editors know that he hadn't passed away. Editors responded and, after a good bit of time had gone by, Chuck wrote: "Sorry about the delayed response. When you are deceased you just don't check your email as often as when you are alive."

Herbert Winter (MSE '50) was also reported to be deceased. After realizing that system failures had allowed two Michigan Engineering alums to be listed as deceased, editors double-checked information and discovered that Herbert, too, had mistakenly appeared in the magazine's "In Memoriam" section.
