Hi Everyone. Thought I’d wear my Schurz t-shirt to add a little class to a group that’s dominated by so
many Lane and Lake View people (Only kidding…only kidding).
I attended Jahn for my entire
elementary school days, from 1943 to 1951. I was Claude Barutzke
then, and had the nick-name “Butch”. I’m so grateful that I
stumbled onto Harry’s website and had the opportunity to get to know him and acquaint myself with some other Jahn grads
and to revisit some of the people and places that made those years memorable.
I am
a retired teacher. Early in my career I taught high school biology in Africa,
and finished my teaching career as a junior high general science teacher in Naples, New York, in the heart of the Finger Lakes. I now live in Canandaigua, New York with my wife, Carol. We have two sons. One lives nearby in Rochester, and the other
lives in Chicago with his wife and our only grandchild. We visit as much as we
can.
If
you want to read some of my memories of growing up in that neighborhood, playing at Hamlin Park, and attending Jahn, click
on the link below to my memoir, “Growing Up in Lake View, 1941-1951”.
I’d like to hear from you and also get your memories from a time that
was so important to us. You can reach me by email at: Butchie@rochester.rr.com
