Ernest Havemann, Writer |
Born: May 14, 1912.
Died: June 14, 1995. His obituary appeared in The Record (formerly The Bergen [NJ] Record) on June 18, 1995, page n08:
ERNEST C. HAVEMANN, 83, of Chevy Chase, Md., formerly of Glen Rock, died Wednesday. He was a writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Time magazine, and Life magazine. He also co-authored several textbooks on psychology. He was a graduate of Washington University with a master's degree in psychology. He was an Army Air Corps veteran of World War II. Arrangements: Rapp Funeral Services, Silver Spring, Md.
The Washington Post obituary adds more detail:
Mr. Havemann collaborated with Harvard psychologist Jerome Kagan during the 1960s to produce a textbook, "Psychology: An Introduction," which did not use professional jargon so that it could be understood by beginning students. Subsequently, the two men collaborated on four editions of the book, the last in 1984. Mr. Havemann also worked with Marlene Lehtinen of the University of Utah on two editions of a textbook, "Marriages and Families."
As a bettor, Mr. Havemann won $61,908 one afternoon in 1963 on a purchase of 48 combinations for $96 at the Agua Caliente racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico. At the time, this was believed to have been the largest single payoff in North American racing history. Mr. Havemann wrote a story about his winning for Life magazine, complete with a picture of himself chewing on a cigar while poring over a Racing Form and claiming the title that many others have claimed as "the world's greatest handicapper."
His son, Joel, is a news editor for the Los Angeles Times Washington DC bureau; his first book "Congress and the Budget", was published in 1978. His latest book is "A Life Shaken: My Encounter With Parkinson's Disease." (Some of Joel's articles for the Harvard Crimson are still online.
Joel's wife, Judith, is a staff writer for the Washington Post. Searching Google will find dozens of her articles.
You can see them alongside the shuffleboard courts in Florida or on the porches of the old folks' homes up north...They are in love, they have always been in love, although sometimes they would have denied it. And because they have been in love they have survived everything that life could throw at them, even their own failures.
