In response to the letter “Who stole

Christmas?” published on December 22. We
might not see as much resistance to the idea
of celebrating Christ’s birth at Christmas if
Christians didn’t try to negate all the other
celebrations that legitimately go on at this
time of year.
People of all religions, all cultures of the
northern hemisphere have always experi-
enced these days as the shortest of the year.
(In the southern hemisphere, these are the
longest, warmest days of the year). 
At this time, we have only nine hours of
daylight and 15 hours of darkness. It is the
time of year when people have forever ei-
ther prayed that God would bring back the
sun, or simply used parties, candles and bon-
fires to celebrate the fact that now the days
would become longer, the air would get
warmer, and food would grow once again.
at this time of year. They borrowed the idea
from the many festivals that were already go-
ing on. 
Christians identified the “return of the sun”
with the idea of the “coming of the Son of
God,” which is why Christians celebrate
Christmas in December, rather than at the
much warmer part of the year when Jesus
was actually born.
Why not acknowledge all the festivals,
both religious and secular, that occur at this
time? We could say “Merry Christmas and
Blessings on All the Festivals of the Season.”
Rather than elbow in and take over what be-
acknowledge reality and respect the many
religious and secular ways of filling these
darkest, longest nights with light, song, and
prayers of hope.
The blessings of the sun/Son, the increase
in warmth and light, the spreading of kind-
ness are things all people can celebrate.

Claremont starts new year with a new dessert option

The Ripples coffee machine at Paradis will create
very intricate designs on a cappuccino or latte, in-
cluding the COURIER logo.

P
aradis is on a mission to change
the way Claremonters enjoy cof-
fee and ice cream.
The Danish franchise officially opened its Clare-
mont location on December 2. The gelato/coffee spot,
run by franchise owners Jose Ramirez and Stanley
Soebianto, is another addition to the Claremont busi-
ness landscape.
“It’s been really good so far,” Mr. Soebianto said.
“We have a lot of regulars now. Overall, people have
been very engaged and happy we’re here.”
The café specializes in “Danish-style” gelato,
which is made every day in-house and features a
daily rotation of 100 different flavors and around 40
vegan-friendly sorbets.
The luxurious flavors include almond chocolate
chip, banana nociella, forest berry pavlova, Sicilian
pistachio de Bronte and Oreo cherry cheesecake.
While the ice cream is light and airy like gelato, it
isn’t technically gelato in the classic sense due to the
amount of ingredients and fat percentage, Mr.
Ramirez said. But the taste is unmistakable.
“It really melts in your mouth. It’s an amazing ex-
perience,” he said.
Paradis began in Denmark in 2005, and after
achieving success in its native country, it branched
into the US with its first stateside location in Mon-
trose in 2009. There are now 10 locations across
Southern California, including Pasadena, Sherman

Oaks and Monrovia.
Mr. Soebianto, who has a background in coffee ex-
porting from Indonesia and Brazil, was initially hesi-
tant about running a franchise, until he met the people
behind Paradis. What struck him most was how open
they were to different concepts.
“I told [the CEO], if you let me do my coffee pro-
gram the way I should see fit with the ice cream, I
think we’ll have something to talk about,” Mr. Soe-
bianto said.
Mr. Soebianto pitched the idea of a micro coffee
roaster to complement the ice cream, and the deal was
sealed. He enlisted local roaster Klatch Coffee to sup-
ply the product.
Mr. Ramirez, a former Claremont resident who
now lives in Upland, introduced the idea of opening a
location in the City of Trees.
“My family would ride our bikes over here and eat
and hang out and go to the movies,” he said. “So, we
started coming and observing the people and the traf-
fic and the patterns, and we were like, ‘This is a really
nice community,’”
Walking into the Claremont Paradis location and
you’ll get a sense of what Mr. Ramirez and Mr. Soe-
bianto want to bring. A neon sign that says, “Scooped
up Claremont” beckons patrons inside, board games
line the left shelf and a television displays Instagram
posts taken at the café.
Mr. Ramirez likens the atmosphere to a high-end,
“hipster” coffee and ice cream shop in Los Angeles
brought right here to Claremont.
“I think that’s the difference we bring,” Mr.
Ramirez said. “This is a cool, hipster spot that you
can find in Downtown LA, but it’s owned by two
local people who are involved in the community too.”

T
ara Schultz, the assistant
city manager for Alham-
bra, was announced as
Claremont’s new city manager
in a release sent by the city last
week.
Ms. Schultz was chosen after months
of panel interviews which included resi-
dents, the city council and members of
the Chamber of Commerce, Sustainable
Claremont and the Claremont Wildlands
Conservancy. Current city manager Tony
Ramos, who annouced his retirement in
September, spearheaded the search for
his replacement.
In the release, the city described Ms.
Schultz as a, “highly motivated, creative
manager whose communication and
leadership skills have earned her the re-
“The city council unanimously chose
Ms. Schultz after an extensive hiring
process that included interviews by a
professional panel, a 14-member com-
munity panel, and the council. Ms.
Schultz impressed the interview pan-
elists with her experience, professional-
ism and passion for the Claremont
community,” Mr. Ramos said.
The process was whittled down from
nine interviewees to two finalists. Ms.
Schultz’s contract is expected to be pre-
sented and approved by the city council
during the January 9 meeting.
She is expected to start her new job on
February 5, the city said.
“I am honored to have been selected
to join the Claremont team. I am excited
about being part of a community that is
so devoted to the idea of preserving and
maintaining those unique qualities that
said in a statement.
She has a bachelor’s degree in recre-
ational administration from Cal State
Northridge and a master’s in public ad-
ministration.
Ms. Schultz, a Pasadena resident, has
25 years of public service experience.
She started as an intern for the city of
Sierra Madre, eventually serving as an
assistant to the city manager, council and
commissions in charge of human re-
sources, transportation and historic
preservation, the city said in the release.
Ms. Schultz “credits Sierra Madre
with molding her professionally and cre-
ating her love for public service and
working with the community,” the state-
ment noted.
Ms. Schultz has worked for the city of
Alhambra since 1999, when she was first
hired on as the assistant to the city man-
Alhambra, including overseeing the
housing and urban development funds.
She was promoted to deputy city man-
ager in 2004, and then to assistant city
manager in 2013, where she oversaw
labor negotiations and worked directly
with the finance, community services
and utilities directors.
She lives in Pasadena with her hus-
band of 29 years, Curtis, and her two
boys, Zachary and Spencer.
The announcement coincides with Mr.
Ramos' last day as city manager. He will
serve as interim city manager until Ms.
Schultz takes over.
A formal welcoming celebration will
take place at the Hughes Center on Mon-
day, February 12 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The
public is invited to attend.
A full profile of Ms. Schultz will be in
a future edition of the COURIER.

Holiday memories
I
grew up in an interesting household.
Until I was 10 years old I lived alone
with my mother, who was half Jewish
(mother’s side) and half Italian Catholic
(father’s side).
My father had moved to New York. My mother re-
married when I was 10 and we moved from Holly-
wood to the San Fernando Valley. My mother’s
parents were very important in all aspects of my
growing up.
When the holidays arrived Christmas took over, as
my grandfather’s feelings about this celebration were
very strong. We never went to church or temple, we
just celebrated the festive part of the holiday with lots
of energy and abandonment.
We had to have a Christmas tree and it had to be a
big, beautiful one. My grandfather closely examined
the height and the branches to make sure they all bal-
anced visually. We had a special large red felt cloth
that covered its base and had “Merry Christmas”
stitched on it. And the trimming of the tree had to fol-
low his instructions for that particular year. His ideas
changed every year, so we could never keep up. No
matter, trimming the tree was always an exciting and
fun experience for all of us. It mattered so much to
my grandfather, and became such a traditional experi-
ence for the whole family.
My mother had a big box of tree lights and another
box of ornaments. First we got out the lights, which
were tested and new ones added as needed. Then they
were twinned along the branches with everyone di-
recting, pointing, and creating a lighting din. With the
lights left on we all began to hang the ornaments. We
all had our favorites.
After I was born, my mother had purchased 12
very thin, red, glass bells. These were my favorite and
always took center stage for me. Slowly over the
years, due to their thinness and delicacy, many broke.

I still waited for each of them to be hung. There were
many hand-painted, bright round balls we had to hang
to the back of the branches so that they would not
topple off. Hanging and admiring, oohing and ahhing,
always took a lot of time.
Then my grandfather would open the new packets
of silver foil icicles that he would happily drape over
everything like icing on a cake. (One year, he tried
spray snow and one year he bought plastic icicles but
neither of these decorations was successful and we re-
turned to the traditional favorite of silver foil.).
Once the tree was trimmed the presents could be
brought out. They were placed around the tree on the
blanket in any order—big and small, bright and pat-
terned. Later, when no one was around, I would read
the “to” and “from” cards, give each package a shake
(I hope I was gentle) and try to figure out who was
getting the most gifts. I always hoped it was me, of
course. Since there were a few days before Christmas
morning I had a lot of time to repeat this activity, es-
pecially as new gifts arrived over those last few days.
Besides the tree and the presents, the food was a
central part of the celebration. My mother was a super
cook and loved to spend her free time reading cook-
books and planning meals. Many friends and family
members were part of the gathering and she would
change the menu each year from a seven-bone roast
or a pot roast to turkey or roasting chickens and all
the trimmings.
My favorite year was when I was 11 and my
mother decided that we should have a “medieval
Claremont COURIER/Friday, January 5, 2018 6
Christmas meal,” which to her meant a whole roast
suckling pig. What was delivered to our house was
more like a frozen pony that had been laid out on the
dining room table. We could never fit it in to our oven
or in to any pan we owned.
My mother found a bakery that would bake the pig
and my stepfather found a hardware store with huge
cooking pans. He also made a wooden tray to hold the
cooked pig as we paraded in to the dining room
singing the ancient song, “The Boar’s Head in Hand
Bare I” while the pig wore red and green cherries in
its eyes. It was really good, especially the crisp and
crackling skin. That was a festive year.
Even after all the presents were opened and the
paper was cleared away, we sat and talked and re-
membered past times together of being a family and
having each other and liking how we chose to cele-
brate the holiday. My mother was dressed in what I
called her “Mrs. Santa Claus” outfit of a long red, soft
silky dress with a hood, which was pinned to her hair.
She only wore it then but it was so festive and special
and I loved that she did it for each of those years.
Today my box of ornaments lives with my
youngest son and his family. As far as I know there is
still one small red glass bell which hangs at the top of
their tree along with the other pieces I used every year
while my children were growing up. I am glad that
they have a new home with my grandchildren.
After all, Christmas is mostly about the children
and their wonder and surprise and having the chance
to make their own new family memories. I am glad
that some of my grandfather’s and my mother’s tradi-
tions will be a part of their holiday memories.

Get over it
Dear Editor:
The writer of the letter published De-
cember 22 titled “Trump’s con” obviously
harbors virulent hate for President Trump as
evidenced by the use of her damning words
in every way possible to describe the sitting
president of the United States. Words like “his
nasty smirk,” “plotting his revenge,” “he is
obsessed” and “his revenge is coming at the
expense of the American people.” All this in
the first three of eight paragraphs.
Oh, and in paragraph four, she calls him
a con, which seems like she ran out of bit-
terly hostile things this point.
It’s patently clear who is obsessed, who ac-
tually is plotting revenge and it’s not the sit-
ting president. He is way too busy fulfilling
his campaign promises, the latest being tax
reform. Not to mention job creation and the
boom in the stock market.
In all reality, I can understand this writer’s
mindset. After all, the corruption was de-
veloped by the massive funding raised by her
party of choice to insure her candidate
would win and her candidate failed badly in-
stead. Well, let’s have some pity.
To the writer: Trump won, your candidate
lost. Just get over it.
Chuck Blood
Upland
My side of the line
Dear Editor:
There is one thing I agree with Peter Wein-
berger on—Claremont is a great place to live.
On just about everything else, I take issue.
You, sir, may “accept the fact that Trump is
openly racist.” I am here to tell you that you
are wrong. Protections for the citizens of the
United States of America, by an American
president, is the primary function of gov-
ernment. For immigrants who come here with
the intention to live according to our values,
our constitution, our laws—they are welcome.
All others are to be blocked entry.
You mention black athletes. Excuse me,
READERS’ COMMENTS
but President Trump stuck his neck out for
the UCLA players in China, and got them
sprung from jail. Despite the resistance, the
president performs acts of mercy, regardless
of race. As for white supremacists, they are
an extremely small and disgusting corner of
our society. Their activities and message
should be confronted head on, as those be-
liefs lead to nothing but division and hatred.
As a small business owner, I am grateful
for the tax cuts that I will now be able to en-
joy, and employ. And believe it or not,
many of us tradesman invest in the stock mar-
ket and are cheering the benefits of higher cor-
porate earnings. Somehow an improving and
growing economy is slurred as a “trickle
down” scheme.
I started my business in 1986 just as the
Reagan tax cuts were passed. My business
thrived, and I bought my first home two years
later. My customers had more money to spend
on my services, and I benefitted. It will be the
same this time around, like it or not. Resisters
cannot stop all progress; the American peo-
ple will work for their best interest. They will
start companies, hire, invest and strive.
My biggest beef with Democrats is their
resistance to school vouchers. This may be
a discussion for another time, but I feel so sad
for kids in communities that do not enjoy our
level of parental involvement and property
values. They are stuck in a geographical
boundary of subpar public schools, to say the
least. And if their parents would prefer to
move to a community with a winning school
district? No choice. The properties are too ex-
pensive. Private schools are too expensive.
I believe that someday in the distant future,
we will look back and rue the days that we
allowed this cruel system to persist.

Claremont
Paying for police
Dear Editor:
Does Claremont need its own police de-
partment? The Claremont Police Department
is the largest expense category in the city’s
annual budget. Claremont spends more than
50 percent of its annual income to fund po-
lice, and the amount keeps growing.
The CPD has hired more staff and acquired
more equipment. The pension liability for po-
lice officers has the potential to severely bur-
den all taxpayers in Claremont more than it
already has. The CPD is a small force and all
of its financial obligations must be paid by
us, the citizens of Claremont.
The CPD pension burden will cause us to
financially tread water, if not drown. Many
officers can retire at age 50 with up to 90 per-
cent of their last year’s income for the rest of
their lives, along with receiving healthcare
and other benefits. The citizens of Claremont
are paying for this. How is your pension do-
ing? Can you retire at age 50 with up to 90
percent of your last year’s earnings for life?
Do you even have a pension?
The leaders of Claremont’s city govern-
ment may be sleeping on the job when it
comes to police expenses. Have they con-
sidered other options? Have they sought a bid
from the LA County Sheriff to provide
services? If the number of officers on patrol
in Claremont is the same, whether from the
CPD or the sheriff’s department, we may be
able to save a significant sum of money.
Even if the costs are the same for both sce-
narios we can save a tremendous amount of
money by using the sheriff’s personnel be-
cause we won’t need to pay off a $30 mil-
lion bond to build a new police station.
We are still paying for the last school bond.
We are now paying more than $8 million for
the failed water company acquisition. Why
should city leaders burden taxpayers with a
Claremont COURIER/Friday, January 5, 2018 7
$30 million bond when we may have a vi-
able alternative? Are they looking into this
option, or are they simply going to stick us
with $30 million of debt? Basically, a police
force provides us with two functions.
1. Crime prevention—the greatest deter-
rent to crime is the presence of a cop,
whether it be on foot or in a patrol car. It won’t
make a bit of difference to a criminal if the
cop is from the CPD or the sheriff’s depart-
ment.
2. Solving crimes—neither department has
an enviable success record when it comes to
solving crime. In most instances, a citizen re-
ports a crime, the officer shows up and writes
a report. Subsequent investigations fail to
solve many crimes. As long as the officer re-
sponse rates are about the same it doesn’t mat-
ter which officer writes the report.
We all know that some businesses call the
police more frequently than the average
homeowner. Why not have the businesses that
use police more often pay on a per use ba-
sis? And homeowners in certain sections of
the city call the police more often. Why not
have those who call more often pay extra than
those who never, or very rarely, call the CPD?
All property owners should pay a base
amount and then the city can charge extra to
those who use police services more often.
In this time of heightened awareness of so-
cial justice, why not advocate for a simple
plan of financial justice for Claremont tax-
payers and have a rational, fair method for
paying for police services actually used. Is
an exploration and discussion of this topic too
much to ask of our city leaders?
They are going to stick us with increased
taxes to pay for the city’s escalating police
pension obligation and for the new gym in
the new station. Will you and your kids be
allowed to work out in the gym? Why not in-
vestigate if we can get a better financial
arrangement from the LA County Sheriff. Are
they afraid they will be embarrassed by the
outcome? Tony Nelipovich, Sr.

G. Worth George
Longtime executive director of Pilgrim Place
G. Worth George died November 22,
2017 at his home in Naperville, Illinois. He
was 84 years old.
Mr. George was born on April 7, 1933
in Goshen, Indiana. He was an only child
and was raised by his paternal grandfather.
He graduated from Goshen High School in
1951.
He played the clarinet in high school and
college, both in marching band and sym-
phonies. He was also an avid ping-pong
player. He loved reading, learning and shar-
ing his knowledge.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in religion
and philosophy from Manchester Col-
lege, North Manchester, Indiana, in 1955,
and a bachelor of divinity from Bethany
Biblical Seminary in Richmond, Indiana,
in 1958.
He continued his education, earning two
advanced degrees: a master’s in manage-
ment and marketing from UCLA, and a
master of public administration from Cal
State Fullerton in 1983. He also had state
licenses in long-term care administration
and personal counseling, was a fellow in
the American College of Health Care Ad-
ministrators, in Washington DC, and was
included in Who’s Who in the West.
Mr. George met his wife, Mary Lou
Smith, while in college. They were married
on November 24, 1956, and settled in the
Chicago area. They had three children, Di-
ane, Larry and Lynda.
He served as chaplain at Chicago’s
Bethany General Hospital for two years. He
also answered his call as pastor in several
Chicago churches for eight years.
In August of 1966, the family moved to
Ralph ‘Wann’ Rawles
Grandfather, tennis player, boat racer
Ralph “Wann” Rawles, 78, died peace-
fully at his Santa Barbara home on Octo-
ber 7, 2017.
Prior to moving to Santa Barbara in
1999, Mr. Rawles was a 37-year resident
of Claremont.
He was born on June 14, 1939 in Col-
orado Springs, Colorado to Thomas
Howard Rawles and Letitia Wann. He at-
tended The Colorado College, earning a
bachelor of arts degree in 1961. He then
moved to Claremont in 1962 to attend the
Claremont Graduate School, where in
1964 he earned a master’s degree in in-
Thousand Oaks, where Mr. George took a
job as minister at the Church of the Oaks.
In 1973, he accepted the position of ex-
ecutive director of Pilgrim Place—a na-
tionally-recognized community for re-
tired church professionals—and the fam-
ily moved to Claremont. This job proved
both very rewarding and quite challenging,
through highs and lows of finances, resi-
dent care, keeping up with artesian wells
popping up everywhere during heavy rain
periods, and the tasks and joys associated
with the annual Pilgrim Place Festival.
Mr. George managed large projects and
improvements, including Pilgrim Place’s
indoor Aquatics Fitness Center and new
Health Center. He approached new projects
with the attitude of, “If we are going to do
this project, we are going to do it right,” his
family shared. For example, the Aquatics
Fitness Center was expensive, with high
ceilings and strong air circulation, but the
quality shows, as to this day it lacks the ac-
cumulative moisture problems often pres-
ent in indoor pool buildings. In tribute, the
building was later renamed the G. Worth
George Residents’ Activity Center. The
Health Center was built with quality patient
care in mind, including efficient nursing sta-
tions, and was a welcome addition to the
community, his family added.
Mr. George and his wife enjoyed their
family vacations, holiday get-togethers, and
seeing their extended family grow over the
years, with their three children all marry-
ing and having families of their own.
As a Certified Fund Raising Executive
emeritus, Mr. George was elected president
of the Inland Chapter of the Association of
ternational studies. After college he taught
at Santana High School in La Puente for
more than 25 years.
Mr. Rawles was an avid, self-taught ten-
nis player and a member of The Claremont
Club. He was also a soccer coach and, most
of all, a sailor.
From an early age, he sailed and raced
dinghies; on any given Sunday he would
be out racing his Laser on Puddingstone
Reservoir, competing with his wife, Judy,
who raced a Laser of her own, or the two
of them would race together in their In-
ternational 14. When not racing boats, he
Fundraising Professionals, and was selected
as its fundraiser of the year in 1997.
He taught three courses in the Univer-
sity of San Francisco’s master of nonprofit
administration program and was a faculty
member at Chapman University, where he
worked in the college’s award-winning or-
ganizational leadership master’s sequence.
He published the book, Fearless
Fundraising for Nonprofit Boards, in
1996, which made the National Center for
Nonprofit Boards’ bestseller list.
He was a popular speaker at conferences
and workshops throughout the country, and,
as of 2002, had presented at 11 national con-
ventions. He also wrote a regular column
in the local nonprofit center’s newsletter
called Worthwhile Wisdom.
His wife Mary Lou died from cancer on
November 22, 1997, 20 years to the day
from his own death.

Mr. George retired from Pilgrim Place
in 1998 after 25 years. He left the com-
munity in a strong financial position and
with wonderful upgrades from his work
over his tenure—a legacy to be proud of,
his family shared.
He remarried Edella Erickson in 2001.
He met Ms. Erickson—a wonderful
woman who had been widowed years ear-
lier—through their church, his family
shared. The couple enjoyed many years in
Claremont, remodeling their house, visit-
ing family and friends, vacationing and
hosting family get-togethers.
In 2013, the couple moved to the Chica-
go suburb of Naperville, Illinois, to be clos-
er to Ms. Erickson’s extended family, and
to live at Monarch Landing, a communi-
ty well suited to help with Mr. George’s in-
creasing medical care. There, he was
loved for a smile that lit up the room, his
family said. His most recent favorite ac-
tivities included watching all the birds vis-
iting his feeder, and driving through the
Morton Arboretum, watching the seasons
change, with a chocolate milkshake in his
hand. He was a loving father, husband and
friend, and will be greatly missed.
Mr. George is survived by his wife, Edel-
la; three children, Diane Carpenter (Har-
ry), Larry George (Kimberley) and Lynda
Sheley (Dave); and five grandchildren,
Chelsey Lemaster, Jeff Carpenter, Brianne
Earwood (John), Gabriel George and
Meganne Carpenter.
A celebration of Mr. George’s life will
be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, January 13

teacher of the year. She retired from
CVSD in 2002.
After 33 years at Chino, Mrs. Folden
continued her commitment to education
and passed on her knowledge and expertise
to aspiring teachers as a professor at Cal
Poly Pomona, where she was known to be
a tough but fair instructor.
She was also a lifelong tennis enthusi-
ast whose competitive senior tennis career
spanned more than 40 years. Known for
her “dreaded” backhand drop shot, she won
the United States Tennis Association’s Na-
tional Women’s 45 Doubles Hard Court
Championship in 1982, as well as nu-
merous tournament titles throughout
Southern California. Mrs. Folden was
also cast in a Paine Webber television com-
mercial with 1970s and ‘80s tennis great
Jimmy Connors, a fun highlight of her hard
court career.
In addition to her daily matches with her
tennis “family” at The Claremont Club,
Mrs. Folden maintained a very busy
schedule of activities, including her pas-
his skills as a chef and took great joy in
feeding others.
He arrived in the United States in

Len Munter
Husband, father, educator
Longtime Claremonter Leonard “Len”
Munter died peacefully in his sleep at
home, surrounded by his loving family, on
December 17, 2017. He was 95 years old.
Len was a popular character in Clare-
mont—well known for being friendly, fun-
ny, teasing, entertaining, irreverent, caus-
tic, feisty, opinionated and politically pro-
gressive. In his private life he was a lov-
ing husband, father and grandfather. He
was also a private person, well organized
and self-disciplined, frugal, intellectually
curious, and knowledgeable about many
things.
He often said that his wife and family
were the most important parts of his life;
in fact, he personally requested the word-
ing of the headline that appears above,
“husband, father, educator.” He was the
loving husband of Helen-Jeanne, his wife
of 67 years; father to his four children, all
of whom attended Claremont schools; and
grandfather to his six grandchildren.
The Munter family has convened for
week-long annual family reunions for
the past 37 years, in locations ranging from
Newport Beach to Jackson Hole,
Wyoming. Based on a childish mispro-
nunciation of “Grampy,” Mr. Munter was
known as “Guppy” in his family, and even
sported a license plate reading “Guppy 6”
in tribute to his grandchildren.
In addition to his family, Mr. Munter
loved gardening, especially orchids; ten-
nis, which he played with his “geezer”
friends until age 87; traveling to more than
30 countries, with a particular love for Paris
and the gardens of Japan; art, especially
Rembrandt and Michelangelo’s David; hik-
ing Yosemite’s John Muir Trail; watching
all kinds of sports, especially the Dodgers
and, later, the Angels; music, of both the
classical and the 1940s periods; and read-
ing, especially history, science, and 19th
century poetry.
He was deeply concerned and often
quite vocal about politics. He fought for
civil rights, joining the Freedom Riders for
a month in Selma, Alabama in 1962. He
later earned the friendship of Medgar
Evers’ widow, Myrlie, by warmly wel-
coming her children into his school when
they moved to Claremont.
He also supported environmental aware-
ness, from back in the days when it was
called “conservation,” and when com-
posting meant dumping coffee grounds di-
rectly onto the soil. Mr. Munter was a life-
long Democrat, and strongly supported the
party’s candidates from his beloved Adlai
Stevenson onward.
Mr. Munter was deeply dedicated to his
vocation of education. He developed and
practiced his educational philosophies of
“letting creativity run rampant,” “devel-
oping self worth through academic com-
petencies,” and emphasizing the impor-
tance of teachers’ authenticity and empa-
thy with their students. He believed that ed-
ucation was the key to a successful com-
munity, society and nation.
Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1922,
Mr. Munter attended Brooklyn College for
two years before enlisting in the Army Air
Force. As a navigator on a Consolidated
B-24 Liberator, he flew 26 missions over
Europe during World War II in 1944 and
1945. Although he was awarded five
medals, he was always a pacifist at heart,
and rarely spoke about his wartime expe-
riences.
After the war, he returned home for six
months, a period he looked back on as his
“Broadway Len” days, because he enjoyed
performances by the likes of Billie Holl-
iday and Sarah Vaughan.
After earning his BA in political science
from Washington DC’s George Wash-
ington University, Mr. Munter left the east
coast for good, moving to Southern Cal-
ifornia, where he continued his education
and happened upon a temporary job at an
insurance company.
It was there that he met the love of his
life, Helen-Jeanne Jewett, whom he mar-
ried in 1949. While he was attending
UCLA as a graduate student, the couple had
their first child, Mary. Two more children,
Lindsay and Cameron, were born after he
took his first teaching job in Walnut Creek,
California, where he completed his mas-
ter’s degree in education at nearby UC
Berkeley. In 1955 the family moved to
Lakewood, California, where Mr. Munter
spent six years teaching, and where the cou-
ple’s fourth child, Seth Daniel, was born.
The Munters’ final move came in 1961,
when they arrived in Claremont. There Mr.
Munter was the founding principal of
Mountain View Elementary School. He
then became assistant superintendent of
schools before serving as principal for three
different Bonita Unified School District lo-

OBITUARIES
cations, where he remained until his re-
tirement in 1986.
In the midst of his administrative and
teaching career, he earned his PhD in ed-
ucation from the Claremont Graduate
School in 1969.  
Over the course of his career, Mr.
Munter worked as an elementary school
teacher in every primary grade, as a prin-
cipal of five elementary schools, an as-
sistant superintendent for instruction, and
as director of early childhood and Head
Start programs. In addition, he served on
many civic and nonprofit boards and
commissions, such as Claremont’s Coor-
dinating Council and Library Commission,
and the House of Ruth’s executive com-
mittee. He was a member of six profes-
sional associations, including serving as
president of the Claremont Administrators
Association. He received honorary life
memberships from both the local parent
faculty association and the National Ed-
ucation Association. Finally, he consulted
with seven governmental organizations, in-
cluding the US Department of Education
at both the national and state level.
He is survived by his wife, Helen-
Jeanne, and their four children, Mary, Lind-
say, Cameron and Seth Daniel; five grand-
children, Daniel, Julia, Chloe, Lauren
and Anna; and one great-grandchild,
Amalia. He was predeceased by his sixth
grandchild, Sarrina; and his brother, Don-
ald.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests
contributions in Mr. Munter’s name to the
Mt. San Antonio Gardens Scholarship
Fund at msagardens.org/giving, or by
check made out to Congregational Homes,
900 E. Harrison Ave., Pomona, CA 91767.
A party in his honor will be held from
2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, February 4 at Mt. San
Antonio Gardens Assembly Room, 900 E.
Harrison Ave., Pomona.

SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU, OF-

FICIALLY On this day in 1964, US
Surgeon General Luther L. Terry an-
nounced his committee findings after a 14-
month “comprehensive review of the sci-
entific literature on the smoking question,”
in a meeting at the National Library of Med-
icine. Mr. Terry issued the commission’s re-
port on a Saturday to minimize the effect
on the stock market and to maximize
coverage in the Sunday newspapers. As he
NINE DAY/continues on the next page

NINE DAY/from the previous page
recalled the event some 20 years later, the
report “hit the country like a bombshell. It
was front page news and a lead story on
every radio and television station in the
United States and many abroad.” The re-
port, “Smoking and Health: Report of the
Advisory Committee to the Surgeon Gen-
eral,” shed light on the deadly health con-
sequences of tobacco use, holding cigarette
smoking responsible for a 70 percent in-
crease in the mortality rate of smokers over
non-smokers. In 1965, US congress moved
to require all cigarette packages to carry a
health warning. In 1969 cigarette adver-
tising on television and radio was banned.
And, since 1970, the “Surgeon General’s
Warning” has appeared on all domestic cig-
arette packaging in the US.

What Geoff’s clients are saying . . .
“We have recently completed our fifth transaction with Geoff Hamill over the past 20 years. Once again, he surpassed our expectations! Our
house sold quickly and well above asking price. Geoff's knowledge of Claremont and the surrounding area is superior, and he is a consummate
professional. He takes the time to answer even the smallest questions, and has a reassuring and calm demeanor. Because Geoff is a Claremont
native, he knows the history of what seems like EVERY house in town. Very entertaining!! Sadly, we have moved out of the area, but we are very
hopeful that we will get to work with Geoff again sometime in the future” —M. & E. Strange
“Geoff Hamill was the agent for the sale of my Claremont Village home, and he made the experience pleasant and stress free. He and attends to
every detail of the listing and sale promptly, and I believe that he represented me as well as possible. Geoff was considerate and gave me good
advice for staging and preparing my home for sale. I believe his expertise and connections in my neighborhood and Claremont in general are the
best. I recommend him without reservation” —J. Spera & A. Conway

Working with him as a buyer or seller will provide you with what it means to have a FULL service real estate professional. Geoff and is second to
none. We could not recommend him highly enough.” —J. & L. Romo
