Martin Fischbein
April 28, 1956 - September 24, 2018
Marty and I
grew up in the same neighborhood near SDSU,
where we both attended Hardy Elementary School,
Horace Mann Junior High, and Crawford High
School together. Marty was a great friend,
and I have many wonderful memories of our time
together. As children, we formed our own
Beatles tribute band, where I was Paul, David
Drexler John, Ron Lieberman George, and Marty
was Ringo. The first all Jewish Tribute Band, I
would joke later. We all feigned playing
the instruments, replacing the guitars with
badminton racquets, and Marty feverishly beating
on a bread basket with two pencils as drum
sticks. As kids, Marty and I did a lot of
fun stuff together. Whether it was playing
football in the street, or crawling through the
sewer across the freeway to Adobe Falls to catch
pollywogs, Marty was always there. Marty
was kinda famous too when we were kids, as his
uncle was Mr. Dependable. Some of you may
remember him, as he owned an appliance store and
had a well known commercial on TV, where he
would say, ''Hi, my name is Mr. Dependable, and
if you can find it for less, I'll refund the
difference.'' Marty never liked that
commercial much, but all of his friends sure
did. Marty was always an adventurous
child, as well as a teenager. We spent a
lot of time at the Jewish Community Center,
where we would get into trouble from time to
time. One time in particular, we told our
parents that we were at the JCC, when we were
actually at 'The Western White House'' in San
Clemente, holding picket signs, and DEMANDING
that President Nixon help in our efforts to have
restrictions eased, so Russian Jews could
emigrate to Israel or The United States.
My father asked me the next day, ''Did you and
Marty have a good time last night at the
JCC?'' “Yeah sure dad, why?'', I
replied. With a look to kill he
showed me the photograph of Marty and I in the
San Diego Union, screaming and yelling so loud
that Ron Nessen ( Nixon’s Press Secretary) had
to come over to us and say, ''The President will
look into it''. We were so proud of
ourselves, and -- as angry as our parents were
at us for lying about where we were that night
-- they were very proud of us too. We also
went to our very first X-rated movie together in
downtown San Diego, as we saw ''The Last Tango
in Paris''. I remember Marty being
disappointed in it, and saying to me ''Really,
is that it? That movie should have been rated
R'', and we laughed and laughed. Over the
years Marty and I had lost touch a bit, but he
has never been far from my heart, or my
mind. I have told many stories about our
time together as friends in those years, and the
stories will continue to be told, as I truly
loved Marty Fischbein. Rest in Peace my brother,
Rest in Peace -- Alan Jay Weissman ’74

Penny Humphrey Scholl
January 20, 1956 - November 30, 2020
Penny
graduated from the Sheriff’s Academy in 1981 and
began a 27-year career in law enforcement.
Her passion for helping and protecting others
made her a compassionate and fierce member of
the San Diego Sheriff’s Department and a force
in her community for positive change, healthy
interpersonal relationships, and mental and
emotional health advocacy and empowerment.
In her retirement, she worked security for the
Del Mar Fair and other jobs that she enjoyed,
and volunteered for the local women’s domestic
violence shelter. She was funny, fearless,
and made it her mission and her business in life
to help make other’s lives better and heal
other’s hurts.
Clark Hyde
July 24, 1948 - January 29, 1989
I recently thought of an old
friend of mine, Clark Hyde, and wondered what
became of him. Actually, I was listening to a
lecture on why people enjoy different kinds of
music, and remembered that Clark loved opera. He
was the only person I knew who did. I tried
googling him, and found him on your Class of '65
missing list. After further searching, I found
that Clark died back in 1989. He is buried at
Oberlin Westwood Cemetery in Ohio. I know it is
the same Clark Hyde because he went to Oberlin
College and I ran into him in Berkeley when he
was at seminary -- Jerry Lame ’65 (December 7, 2016)

Susie Smith Cella
Susie passed away July 29,
2011. She was born and raised in San Diego,
California, and earned a BA and MBA from San Diego
State University. After a successful, ten-year
career in banking, she met and married her
husband, Michael Joseph Cella. She brought her
California spirit east in 1995 when she moved with
her family to Wilton, Connecticut. In addition to
her husband and children, Susie is survived by her
sister, Judy “Elle” Smith Wright ’69.
I remember Susie as one of the
nicest people you would ever want to meet. Her
energy and personal style was always a pleasure to
be around. No party, dance or cheer squad was
complete without her. I am so glad to hear Susie
got married and had children, since she was such a
good role model. The obituary did not say how she
died which is OK. It is not the way she died
that’s important but the way she had lived. Evan
though I have not seen Susie for years, after
reading about her passing I suddenly miss her very
much and remember her like it was yesterday. God
Bless you Susie. Jeffrey Pich 1973
 
Stephanie Steel Johnson
August 8, 1956 - July 15, 2020
Stephanie
didn’t want things from people. She wanted
things FOR people. She lived by the mantra
“think of others." Few who knew her were
untouched by her generosity, her selflessness,
and her grace in supporting those around
her. She would not hesitate to take the
more difficult of two paths if it meant doing
the right thing. Her robust character and
boundless spirit make saying this all the more
difficult. Please understand: if you were
in her life, she loved you. There was no
other way with her. Nothing short of
love. It was her wish that those who loved
her in kind would think long and hard about one
aspect of her experience that they valued and
then seek to emulate that in their own
lives. In this way, we keep her close and
honor her still. It is important to note
that Stephanie long cherished the idea of “day
clean.” A concept borrowed from the Gullah
culture of South Carolina, “day clean” evokes
the sense that each dawn brings a fresh start
complete with renewed energy and the bright
assurance that there is good work being
done. Stephanie believed in the greater
“day clean” that awaited her. So too would
she expect us to remember that each day is a
fresh opportunity to think of others.
Stephen Stegman
December 27, 1955 - April 18, 2020
Steve died
after a valiant battle with cancer. His
strong will to live, unwavering faith in Christ
and the love and prayers of family and friends
carried him through the tough times and gave him
peace. Steve was born and raised in San
Diego and later settled in Casa Grande, Arizona.
He was a proud Air Force veteran who served as a
Czech linguist and technical writer.
