Habitual routine is struck for all possible elements for the human. The rightly managed things have been done for the use of the college-paper review for all authentic items for the better life of the people.
Carol, I want to thank you for this memory of Phil. It is a story I had never heard before. He usually told stories at his own expense (or mine.) He loved Bunch House, I can't believe you actually kept him fed, as much as he swam and in that climate. I would really love to hear other stories from Colgate days, so please encourage old friends to post them! To his students from OXY: he loved passing on the things he had learned, both how to be a good scientist and how to be a good man. He would be so proud to know you remember. Please encourage other OXY people to recall things for me. I have to remember him to his grandchildren someday.
I have a funny remembrance of Phil Arcuni from when we were students at Colgate University. We both lived at Ralph Bunch House, a group student residence of about twenty people. I took a semester off to be the cook at Bunch House. Most of the residents were omnivores, but a few of us, like Phil and myself, were vegetarians. I had never cooked for that many people before and was a little overwhelmed at the beginning. One day, I expected delivery of a few cuts of meat. When I got to work, I found, instead, on the counter, an entire half of a pig. I was standing there, looking at it, in a mild state of shock, when, taking one of his frequent brief study breaks, Phil walked into the kitchen. He looked at me, in his funny quizzical way, and gently said: "What were you thinking?" I did not know what to say...or do! Phil walked over to the knife drawer, pulled out a cleaver, and said:"OK, I think we use one of these." He proceeded to help me figure out, roughly, what the cuts should look like...ribs, chops, etc...and, together, we slowly cut it all up. I so appreciated this help from a dedicated vegetarian! Even now, 37 years later, it brings tears to my eyes. He certainly saw the humor, but also took the time to help solve the problem! He seemed to find it interesting that I would take on a job like that and, later, would stop by on his way to, or from the pool, to see how things were going. Now, though the context is so sad, it is wonderful to read about his continued concern for others and his interesting accomplishments.
I was a student of Dr. Arcuni at Occidental college. Someone said to me once that there were would be seven people that would make a big impact in your life and change it for the better. I consider Dr. Arcuni one of those seven. I am saddened I could not tell him in person. My deepest sorrow to his family's loss.
Dr. Arcuni was my college counselor at Oxy. I majored in Physics as well. Little did I know that he lived near me in the Bay Area. His advice had a profound impact in my college life. I am sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.
