Chabot Campus Tour for CARE Members (Spring 2010)
 On
May 20, 2010, about twenty-five CARE retirees were treated to a special tour
of the two new buildings on the Chabot Campus. The Instructional Office
Building and the Student Services building were showcased and explained
by architect and Project Manager Doug Horner, joined by about-to-retire
Vice President Melinda Matsuda.
All the public spaces in the new buildings are large and light-filled.
Faculty offices are about twice the size of the ones they replace, and
all have new desks, chairs, and bookcases. All have large windows which
look out either on the courtyard or Hesperian Boulevard. Computers are
available everywhere!
Retirees had lots of questions for both guides. Following the tour, the
group returned to the old Board Room for light refreshments and
conversation about the dramatic changes that have taken place at Chabot.
We thank Mr. Horner, Melinda Matsuda, and our friend and supporter,
Karen Silva for a very enlightening afternoon. Times are changing!
Robert G. Barthol - In Memoriam
(Spring 2007)
From Mrs. Barthol: A loving tribute to my husband Bob, with
cherished memories of our life together and for touching so many
lives with his gift of teaching.
Prior to teaching Administrative Justice classes at Chabot, Bob was
an FBI Agent for 26 yrs. He inspired many law enforcement students
with his determination, integrity, and wonderful sense of humor.
Excerpts from this letter dated Aug. 20th,2006, reflect just one of
many expressions of appreciation that he received over the years:
(From former student Melanie Sherman Clark:)
August 20, 2006
Dear Mr. Barthol:
It has been a long time since I have talked to you. I was in your AJ
classes at Chabot back in the early 1970s. You let me participate in
research for your book, "Protect Yourself" and you provided lots and
lots of material for my research speeches on con games and
shoplifting. You taught me how to shoot straight and showed me how
to learn penal codes so well I remember them today.
I attended your barbershop quartet concert and your end of the year
barbeque and I toilet papered your house on your birthday and got
caught by you. For punishment, you invited us all in for cake and
ice cream. Wow! I still smile about that.
With your education, I went on to become a police assistant, a
deputy sheriff, a private investigator and a fraud investigator with
a nationally known insurance company. In my forties I gave up all
that to work regular hours with weekends and holidays off, and took
a job in accounting a a manufacturing company in the Pacific
Northwest.
I would really like to take this opportunity to thank you for the
time and effort you spent to teach, to show, to lead. Your help and
encouragement meant a lot to me. You made a difference in my life.
When I sent my daughter off to college, I encouraged her to find a
mentor in her chosen field. I told her not to be afraid to go talk
to him/her during office hours. She has recently graduated from
University of Washington. She followed my advice and found a
wonderful instructor who really gave encouragement and help to a
handful of students willing to do extra work and go the extra mile.
In a way, you made a difference in her life too.
Thank you for all you have done and for the warm memories I have of
you.
Sincerely,
Melanie Sherman Clark
