My Story


Bruce Hunter Baldwin was born on January 22nd, 1927 in Yonkers, New York to Fredrick Augustus Baldwin and Florence May Hirtle.   He attended Roosevelt Senior High School where he played hockey & baseball.  Bruce was voted “Most Popular” of his graduating class of 1944.  He enlisted in the United States Naval Service and was discharged on November 30th, 1946 as an Apprentice Seaman 1st Class. He married Thea Grubiak on August 1st, 1947.  Their 1st son, Bruce Scott Baldwin was born April 20th, 1948.    Bruce attended Miami University and received his BA in 1949.

His second son, Brad Hunter Baldwin, was born in 1953.  One year later Bruce moved his family to Levittown.   He started teaching at Levittown Memorial High School in 1963.  Bruce was very active in student activities;  he was student class advisor 1968, 69, 72, 75, 76, 79 & 80.  He headed up the Surf Club and Hockey Club.  Bruce was an advisor for the environmental group and coordinator of the outdoor education program.  Outside of school he found time to be the Cubmaster of Pack 619 in 1964 and was affiliated with Explorer Post 320.  Post 320, “The Sea Otters” was an active skin and scuba diving program from 1966 through 1974.
