Mr. Robert (Bob) Huesman (1939) made a surprise visit to CCH on the occasion of his 95^th birthday in mid-December. His second surprise was that, as a freshman in 1946, he designed the original school seal. He was touched that the seal is still a prominent representation of the school, and that the cross from the seal was utilized in the new “C” logo.

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2016:

Staff and students of CCH rallied to provide over 8 lbs. worth of handwritten notes for a "mail call" Mr. Huesman received after returning from a WWII Veterans "Honor Flight" trip to Washington, DC on October 1, 2016.

His WWII experience was shared by his daughter as follows:

"Dad enlisted in the air corps as an aviation cadet with the intent of becoming a pilot, but due to an excess of soldiers there, he was transferred to the infantry. He was in the 103rd Infantry Division, 411 Infantry Regiment where he was a Private First Class. He went to boot camp in 1942 and was sent to Marseille, France, then Germany and Alsace-Lorraine. He remembers landing at Lansberg am Lech, the site of the prison where Hitler was imprisoned and wrote Mein Kampf. As you know, Dad has artistic ability, and when times were quiet, he would sketch comrades and surrounding buildings and landscapes. We are lucky that those pencil sketches survived, and we have them today. He also sketched cartoons on the envelopes of letters sent home to his fiancee (my mother) and his family in Kentucky.
