Felix, A&S ’56, JD ’59 USC School of Law professor Columbia, S.C. Comparing ’51, ’07 football This was the year our Bearcats, 9-3, could have/should have erased our 1951 record of 10 wins and 1 loss. The ’51 team still holds the UC record of the most pen- alties, 964 yards — a dubious distinction. Coach Sid Gillman’s strong advice was “when in doubt … HIT!” And we did. Ralph Staub [Ed ’52], who went on to be a college/pro coach, and I (a trust offi- cer) co-captained an extraordinary team of achievers. The NFL in the 1950s, however, did not pay much, so we all simply went to work upon graduation. Some of my teammates were Frank Middendorf [Ed ’52], No. 3 at UPS today, who played in National All-Star games, as did Bob Stratton [Ed ’55], now a corpo- rate exec. Others were Bill Shalosky [Ed ’53], college coach; Jack Tracy [A&S ’53], attorney/judge; Lee Haslinger [Ed ’59], principal; Bill McDonald [Ed ’52, MEd ’59], college coach/National champs; Don Grammer [Ed ’53], college/pro coach; Gene Rossi [Ed ’57], principal; Paul Yelton [A&S ’54, JD ’56], attorney; Dick Jarvis [A&S ’52, MD ’58], physician; Glenn Sample [Ed ’53], college coach; Andy Matto [Bus ’54], California Realtor; Dick Kane [Ed ’52], principal; Dick Goist [A&S ’55], dentist; Norb Shibinski [Ed ’54, MEd ’62], teacher/coach; and Dom Del Bene [A&S ’54], dentist.

Designers Designers overlooked My wife, Sally [Ed ’62] and I really enjoyed the last issue of “UC Magazine,” especially the articles and pictures featur- ing Robert Flischel. However, we were disappointed not to find any mention of the Madison Design Group in Covington, Ky. This small graphic design firm did the layout and design for Bob’s featured book on UC, as well as his earlier book “Cincinnati Illuminated,” a photographic journal showing off the Queen City. After working for prominent graph- ic design firms for several years in Cincinnati, Julie Allen Courtney and Jackie Meyer Roberto, both DAAP ’90, founded Madison Design Order a copy of Robert Flischel’s book about UC at www.magazine.uc.edu/extra. Group in 1997. The firm has been extremely successful, employing a half dozen people, some who have been UC graphic design graduates, as well. Madison Design’s largest and steadiest customer is the Procter & Gamble Co. Maybe you can feature this highly successful design firm and its employees in a future issue. Dave Allen, Bus ’63 Brentwood, Tenn. Remember when? I loved the photographs comparing then and now. Those were the days, my friends. Do you remember? Progress is great, but let’s not forget yesterday! Barb Wedinger, Ed ’63 Cincinnati University of Cincinnati UCMagazine April 2008 5
