Edmund Theophilus Klemmer '45

I entered Webb in 1941 as a member of the Class of ’45, but graduated in 1944 due to a speeded schedule during WWII ..

In 1944, I signed a pledge to give Webb $25/yr for 20 years (more than $300/yr in today’s dollars). While the pledge was voluntary, I think the years the amount of contributions increased.

I would like to tell you how my wife and I are supporting Webb now for what Webb has meant to our family. Your family might do something very different. Do what is right for both Webb and your family.

Recently I made Webb beneficiary of an insurance policy taken out at Webb during WWII. My family was the original beneficiary of the insurance policy but they supported the change recognizing the contribution Webb made to the whole family through my education. My wife, Ruth, and I have made Webb a beneficiary in our wills.

Webb graduates are all part of a unique Community sharing the integrity, work-ethic and friendships developed at Webb. The Webb Community has served me well since 1941.

Webb deserves the-joyful financial support of all graduates. The future of Webb depends upon it.
