W. Michael Aicher ’32

Mike Aicher died Sept. 1, 1998, in his hometown of Tucson, Ariz. He had a varied career, working during the depression years on Wall Street, then joining the staff of Harry Hopkins in Washington, from which he became a regional director for the Natl. Labor Relations Board. In 1944 he left the NLRB and became a labor negotiator, first for the Selby Shoe Co., and nine years later for the U.S. Brewers Foundation, retiring around 1970.

At various times he was chairman of the Community Fund, the Red Cross, and other campaigns, and was active in promoting programs for boys. He also at the time of our 50th reunion was playing baseball three times a week. His greatest interest in his older age, however, was in religion, and he read the Bible with various rabbis, priests, and ministers.

In 1935 Mike married Estelle Eversole. They had four daughters: Mary Ann, Michaele, Marita, and Moria. By 1982 he had nine grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. To all members of the family who survive him, the class expresses its sympathy in the loss of this genial and popular classmate.
