Dr. Carl B. Gustafson, 89 (First Dreux Principal)
Ocala - On September 9, 2011, the world bade farewell to Dr. Carl B. Gustafson, a wonderful father, husband friend and man of knowledge, peace and compassion. His life journey began on May 29, 1922 on a farm in Worthington, Minnesota. He earned his B.A. from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1943. He earned his B.S. in 1954 and M.A. in 1956 from the University of Minnesota. In 1975, he earned his Doctorate in Educational Supervision from the University of Southern California. He was commissioned at Yale University, McDill AFB and Barksdale AFB as a Flight Engineer in the United States Army Air Corp and later in the United States Air Force. Employed by the Department of Defense, he was the Superintendent of Schools in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean.
Upon retirement from Federal Service, Carl was the Deputy Director for the Greater Boston Regional Education Center. He retired again as Acting Superintendent of Education from Massachusetts. He enjoyed final retirement in Ocala, Florida. He volunteered with the Marion County Correctional Facility teaching inmates about the brain and the process of thought.
Very active within his church, The First Congregational UCC, he designed and constructed a Labyrinth to be enjoyed by the entire community.
Dr. Gustafson is preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Alice and by his wife May, an equally loved and compassionate person. Dr. Gustafson is survived by his companion, Pearl Mayer and loving family: son Robert (Lisa), daughter Mary Campbell (John), grandchildren, Audrey Campbell, Thomas Gustafson (Jennifer), great-grandchildren, Aurora and Robert. A memorial service will be held Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 10:30 a.m. at First Congregational UCC, 7171 SW State Road 200, Ocala FL 34476. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Carl's name to First Congregational UCC.
Note: I just learned of his passing. According to the yearbooks, Dr. Gustafson was the first Principal at Dreux. He was at Dreux during the 60/61 and 61/62 school years.

Come Join Us on Facebook!
In case you are not aware, we have a Dreux American High School Group page on Facebook with 469 members and growing. It's been a lot of fun with former friends reconnecting, uploading photos from Dreux, and general discussion about the time spent at Dreux. I have the group as a closed group so that only those people associated with Dreux can become members. If you are interested in joining us, just use the "request to join" feature on that page.

DUES NEWS!!
You can now pay your DAHS Alumni Association dues by credit card! We have had lots of alumni asking for this option, so now it's here. We have set it up through PayPal. Dues are $40/yr and you can pay for one year or multiple years, just as in the past. Just go to our Dreux AHS website at www.dreuxalumni.org and click on the Dues/Directories button. You will then see the PayPal box. You can still pay by check as well if you prefer that method.
If you prefer to pay by check, you can send your Dues payment to:
Marilyn Hutto Turner
9831 Marine View Drive
Mukilteo, WA 98275
As a perk of paying dues and supporting our efforts, you will receive via email a copy of the latest Dreux AHS Alumni Directory. It's now 94 pages! As always, we appreciate your support in paying dues! It keeps this association going and helps fund the costs to find former classmates, maintain the database, website, newsletters, etc. We can't do it without you! So thanks!
We also have quite a few alumni that like to make a donation as well as pay dues or would just like to make a donation to support our efforts. There is now a "Donate" button on the Dues page of the Dreux website that links to PayPal as well. |
