News from in and around
Chicago
Warner (Bud) Weber Mesa, Arizona
Chicago –C – SC – RP
Ol’ Bud Weber is now 881/4 years. I had a very light heart attack a year ago on my wife’s 83rd birthday. She
had a severe stroke June 1st the same year. She had a DNR bracelet on. When having an x-ray, she died, but
the person doing the x-ray brought her back to life. She was now pretty much an invalid. While in a rest
home I was told I was too old to deal with her. I refused to have her taken away from me.
She has had brain surgeries (plural) that took lots of rehab. I had been told in 1982 by Mayo Clinic she
would be a cripple due to her spinal problems. I found a doctor that put rods and screws in her and she has no
problems spinewise. She has a replaced knee, both hips replaced, her right shoulder replaced and both breasts
removed. There have been other problems too but I was at her side during all of them. Very necessary nurses
make wrong decisions and she would not be here had some of the errors not been noticed by me. She was in
the University of Illinois in Chicago for 9 months. I had a parking space at their door plus a bed in her room
when I wished to stay overnight. When she had a tummy tuck at ST. Margaret Hospital in Hammond,
Indiana, she had a severe infection discovered by me. When I kissed her I realized she had a high
temperature, that took 5 months with the help from their wound clinic to get over it.
So I love what is left of her? Yes I really do. We still have good moments to enjoy. Her lack of ability to see
well, we play bingo, and pinochle, plus certain television shows. WGN news faithfully. I have hopes of
getting her swimming and her walking will improve. The stroke took a lot away from her. I review her life
for her often to put so much back as I can.
Gene Backlin took care of his wife Willa for ten years until she passed away. She had dementia. He visited
her grave daily until he too was laid beside her.
Freda has been a great part of my life. We married 3 months after meeting, one month and a half after she
turned 17, seventy seven years ago. We had four boats, a canoe, a sailboat, fishing boat and a speedboat. The
first day of retirement, she told me, “No more boating, I can’t swim – I hate the water”. The boats were gone
in a week. We were on the water often those 40 years. We had motorcycles, bikes, roller-skates, rode
horseback and great vacations. We had a plethora of friends. Old friends that lasted. Lots of parties, picnics
and fun places to enjoy. I could say more about Freda, but I will just say, I have loved her and always will.

This is a picture of our family reunion in North Riverside for Dorothy Tvrdik’s ( widow of Charlie Tvrdik,
dept. AS ) 90th birthday in Sept. 2012. We also celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in May, 2012 near
Charlston, SC with son Don and his family. We are both in fairly good health, enjoying our travels, golf, and
activities in sunny New Mexico and with our four granddaughters in Wyoming and South Carolina.
Donnelley Library Tour
On Wednesday, February 13 those of us who
assembled the mailing of the March 2013 Newsletter
were treated to a tour of the Donnelley Library which
is located in the new offices in Warrenville IL.
Phyllis Burgee, Director of Major Account
Communications led us on the tour. As you can see
it is nothing like the Library we all remember but the
company is still very proud of the history of the
Library. There are other display cases in the
hallways which hold many more Donnelley printed
treasures. Phyllis was very knowledgeable about the
history of RR Donnelley and showed us many
treasurers that we probably weren't aware of.

Bill Hamilton
Hi! Just thought I’d send a note to say, I’m still here in Michigan. Last December we went to the Atlantis
Resort in the Bahamas. What a nice place! My wife and I rented a couple of electric carts for the week
because we had heard what a big place it is. We went everywhere with them, inside and outside of the
resort. We went snorkeling in “The Ruins,” a big aquarium with all kinds of artifacts that you expect to see
around the ruins of Atlantis. We swam with huge manta rays, spotted eagle rays, and all kinds of fish. It
was one of our best vacations ever. Thanks for the newsletter. It’s so nice to hear from everybody. That’s
all for now.
Russell Smeltz
I’m fine and well after being retired 20 years. Moved to Amboy, Illinois in October 1994, best little town
in Illinois. Camp at one of the worlds largest campgrounds, Woodhaven Lakes. It covers 4000 acres and is
run like a small town. Please note the picture to town of Amboy put up on Easter Sunday, my 80th birthday.
It reads “Happy 80th Birthday Russell Smeltz March 31st”. I just think with all the publicity I may run
for mayor next year.
P.S. Please note how slim and trim I still look.
Don’t forget to write something about yourself, to help keep
in touch with your fellow retirees

Richard (Dick) Berwanger recently made a rare trip back to the Chicago area to visit relatives. After
Donnelley sent him and his family to Barbados to start up a plant, then to southern California, it was very
hard to get Dick and his late wife Mina (Personnel, Security, APO) to come home to Chicago, especially if
there was any hint of cold or snowy weather. He is shown here with brother and sister-in-law Chuck and
Joanne DePasquale. The Berwangers and DePasquales had not only strong family ties but all 4 were longtime Donnelley employees
Thank you Joanne DePasquale for kindly volunteering to help write and proofread the newsletter
before it is published. I’m not sure if you know that I never make the same mistake twice. I make it
like five or six times. You know, just to make sure. Editor
Fred Johnson
An Arizona Highway Patrol officer stops a Harley for traveling faster than the posted speed limit, so he
asks the biker his name.
'Fred,' he replies.
'Fred what?' the officer asks.
'Just Fred,' the man responds.
The officer is in a good mood, thinks he might just give the biker a break, and write him out a warning
instead of a ticket. The officer then presses him for the last name.
The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it.
The officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it. 'Tell me, Fred, how did
you lose your last name?'
The biker replies, "It's a long story, so stay with me.' I was born Fred Johnson. I studied hard and got
good grades. When I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college, medical
school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred Johnson, MD.
"After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry was my dream!
Got all the way through School, got my degree, so then I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS. Got bored
doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she gave me VD, so now I was Fred
Johnson, MD, DDS, with VD.
"Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was Fred Johnson, MD,
with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they
took away my MD leaving me as Fred Johnson with VD.
Then the VD took away my Johnson, so now I am Just Fred."

How to decide who to marry (the way children see it)
1. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should
keep the chips and dip coming. -- Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out
later who you're stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10
2. WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10
3. HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF 2 PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.- Derrick, age 8
4. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids. -- Lori, age 8
5. WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long
enough. -- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)
On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
age 10
-- Martin,
6. WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- - Curt, age 7
The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
Howard, age 8
7. IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. -- Anita, age 9 (bless you child )
8. HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? -- Kelvin, age 8
9. HOW WOULD YOU MAKE
A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks
pretty, even if she looks like
a dump truck .
Ricky , age 10

SPRING LUNCHEON - 2013
If you missed the Spring Luncheon, you missed a pretty good time! Everyone said the food was really,
really good and the program, “Old Time Radio” put on by Larry Bergnach was enjoyed by all. The Silver
Scripts group and our own Corporate benefits group were on hand to answer any questions regarding the
new prescription drug plan. We just want to say a special thanks to Alvina Kita for all her help in printing
out the name tags and welcoming the guests along with Sharon Kerr, Carol Malecki and Joan Mrozek as
they arrived. Our president, George Wenrich could not attend this years’ luncheon as his wife, Myrna
was ill so Jerry Malecki and Fred Mark stepped up to the podium and did a great job of filling in for
George at the last minute. This only proves that it takes a team effort and what a team we have! Thanks
to all that attended to make this a fun day!

In Remembrance
Harold B. Hill
(Chicago - Lancaster)
Harold Burton Hill passed away on February 6, 2013in the home of his son, where he
had been residing for the past six years. He was born in Alton, Illinois on August 9, 1917
and moved to Chicago where he started a career with R.R. Donnelley & Sons, his one
Harold Hill
and only employer and the largest printing firm in the country. Like most men of his
generation, his work was interrupted by World War II and he spent four years in the Navy.
He is a decorated Navy Veteran and achieved the Purple Heart decoration during his time in
the service. Upon returning home he attended Northwestern University and majored in Business. He
continued his career and married the love of his life Genevieve Kurke; they shared 66 years together
before her death in 2007.
He leaves behind two children, his son, Burton (and daughter-in-law Mari-Jo) and daughter Barbara.
Also left behind are a beautiful granddaughter Whitney along with numerous nieces and nephews.
During his career, Harold reached a supervisory level position in Chicago and helped Donnelley
find an additional location in Lancaster PA. He was one of the first employees of Donnelley to
work in Lancaster and ended his service to the company there in 1974 after thirty-three years. He
was the Superintendent of the original plant on Steel Way which at its peak held over 300 employees.
Harold enjoyed golf, bridge and many friendships in Lancaster. He loved Penn State football and was
often in attendance for the Nittany Lions games. He has had a long life and will be swinging his clubs in
heaven.
He will join his wife Genevieve in the National Cemetery at Indiantown Gap, PA where he will be laid to
rest with military honors.
Barron "Barry" Schoder Jr. (Corporate)
Schoder Jr., Barron W. Barry, age 83, passed away peacefully March 24, 2013 in Vero
Beach, FL with family at his side. He was born in Westfield, NJ to Barron and Ann
Barron Schoder Jr.
Schoder,and graduated from Westfield High School. Following a post-graduate year
at St. George's School in Middletown, RI, he received his BA from Dartmouth College.
There he made lifelong friends who always called him Smiley. Following Dartmouth he joined the U.S.
Marine Corps, serving as a First Lieutenant in Korea along the 39th parallel. After his discharge from
the Marines in 1955, he began his 37 year career in the commercial printing industry. He started with his
father at Stewart, Warren & Benson in New York City, followed by several years at Darby Printing
Company in Washington D.C. In 1963 he joined R.R. Donnelley & Sons where, during a 29 year
career, he earned roles of increasing responsibility, rising to President of the Catalog Division and
Donnelley's executive management committee. After retiring in 1992, he did volunteer work for the
Executive Service Corps including service in the Ukraine.. Barry was active in his community, serving
as a Winnetka Park District youth football coach, Winnetka Library Board member, and a youth
education teacher in Bethesda, MD, Darien, CT, and Winnetka. He enjoyed many outside interests and
pursuits over the course of his life, among them horseback riding, sailing, tennis, running, fishing,
photography, even baking bread. First among his passions, however, was his family. Barry and his
cherished wife, Ginger, were true partners in life, and enjoyed extensive world travel together, and
with family and friends, to many countries on every continent except Antarctica. He loved his
grandchildren and children dearly and is survived by Ginger; his sons, Andy, Rob (Jeanne), Tom
(Mari), and grandchildren, Rob, Steve, Mari, Michael, Katie, Will, Scott, Tommy, Charlie and
Ginny. He is also survived by his two sisters, MaryAnn and Carolyn.

THE POWER OF THE BADGE
DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas, and talks with an old rancher. He
tells the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown
drugs." The rancher says, "Okay, but do not go in that field over
there," as he points out the location.
The DEA officer verbally explodes saying, " Mister, I have the authority
of the Federal Government with me." Reaching into his rear pants
pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the rancher.
"See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I
wish.... On any land. No questions asked or answers given. Have I made
myself clear? Do you understand? "
The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.
A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA
officer running for his life chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis
bull......
With every step the bull is gaining
ground on the officer, and it seems
likely that he'll get gored before he
reaches safety. The officer is
clearly terrified. The rancher throws
down his tools, runs to the fence and
yells at the top of his lungs…………
" Your badge. Show him your BADGE !
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community:
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes
in the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects,
including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack,
California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high
with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much
he was kneaded.
Born and bread in Minnesota, Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with
turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half- baked schemes.
Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model
for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough,
plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at
3:50 for about 20 minutes.
