Just heard the news that the amazing Gloria Steinem has died. Had the good fortune to spend a few minutes with her long ago for a newspaper/conference room portrait while I was at the San Jose Mercury News. She was lovely. Thank you Gloria for all you did in this world. (apologies for the lousy iPhone scan). @jasongrowphoto by @jasongrow

Fred Kepler, 96
Gloucester, MA
Born: 2/3/30
Born/Raised: Lewistown, PA & Cleveland, OH
Service: US Army
Unit: 82nd Airborne/505th Airborne
Rank: Cpl (T)
Dates of Service: 1950-1953

One of three children born to Charles and Celia Kepler, Fred Kepler grew up in Lewistown, PA and spent his teen years working as a soda jerk in the family’s corner store, Kepler’s Corner. When his mother died in 1947, Fred moved in with his grandparents to finish and graduate from John Adams High School in Cleveland, Ohio in 1949.

Fred enlisted in the Army in 1950 at the beginning of the Korean War. His 18-year-old brother Ken decided to enlist as well. As a result, they both ended up in the same unit of the 82nd Airborne together and spent the entirety of their service together. Originally expecting an immediate assignment to Korea after basic training, the Army instead opted to keep their division stateside at Fort Bragg. When he wasn’t training as the designated sniper, or working as a clerk in the offices, Fred and the rest of the 505th Parachute Infantry Division would travel around doing jumps for public relations and VIP events. By the time Fred left the service in 1953 he had 28 jumps notched on his belt.

At the end of his enlistment, Fred worked for an enamel countertop company. In 1955, he met and married Charlotte Fisenne in Cleveland. He graduated from Fenn College in 1960 after attending night school. The couple had two children, Fred Jr. (Freddie) and Michelle Alaine Kepler (Shell). Freddie became a film editor, and Shell spent 23 years as soap opera character, Amy Vining, on General Hospital.

Fred took a job working for Nestle in White Plains, NY, as an accountant and became a literal “bean counter” as Nescafe was running a coffee ad campaign called “43 Beans in Every Cup.” A move to Singer Corporation paid for his master’s in economics from Fordham and a move to Chattanooga, TN in 1970. Next came a move to a Los Angeles tire manufacturer. by @jasongrow

Martin Ray, 79
Gloucester, MA
Born: 10/16/1946
Born/Raised: Westpoint, NY/Various US Army postings
Service: US Army
Unit: Airborne & Ranger School, 538 Engineering Battalion (Thailand),
Germany, 525th Military Intelligence (Vietnam).
Rank: Captain
Dates of Service: 1968-1972

When Colonel John Ray felt a need to correct his young son Martin, it was at full military attention. Such was the world of a career military family. Col. Ray, then a military law teacher at Westpoint Academy, came from a long line of military achievers including his three brothers and his father, and his son was going to grow up with the same sense of discipline. Martin’s parents, John and Tova, met in Europe towards the end of WWII. John had been wounded during the Battle of the Bulge, and held as a POW in both Tunisia and Germany before escaping twice. Tova was a Women’s Army Corps nurse from the Boston area serving in England and France.

Their marriage would include raising three children at multiple postings around the country, and the world, including Westpoint, Burma, Japan, California and New York. In high school Martin took correspondence courses from the University of Nebraska and finished his high school career as a senior at the Cambridge School – “It was one of the first big shocks I had.”

The next big shock was his first year as a med-school student at Johns Hopkins Medical School, “I got crushed.” He changed to International Relations and four years later, freshly degreed, he joined the Army Engineers to fulfil his ROTC commitment. “I thought it best to get out in the field and do something with my hands.” by @jasongrow

Almost exactly 16 years ago, Natalie Matutschovsky, then at Time Magazine, asked me to photograph six of eight living Hurlburt siblings as part of their story on Portraits of Centenarians. Six years later Boston Magazine asked me to photograph the 100th birthday party of Mildred Macisaac. Of course I didn't connect the two until I was standing at her door saying hello to her and her 103-year-old sister Agnes Buckley. Ten years later I got a call from the New York Times looking for this photo to attend a story on longevity. Live long and prosper.
