James Frederick Blewer ’41 Known as a man of wit and good humor, Jim Blewer died in Alameda on February 20 at the age of 81. Born in Oakland, he served in the Army’s 32nd “Red Arrow” Infantry Division during World War II. He then became a teacher, serving the elementary schools in Oakland for 34 years. A dedicated volunteer for the Boy Scouts of America, he also sang in a barbershop quartet, loved anagrams and other word games, and contributed more than one hundred items to Herb Caen’s column in the San Francisco Chronicle. Shortly after “Twisted Titles” began appearing in this magazine, Jim Blewer became the king of titles, appearing more often than any other player and attracting quite a following. “I thought I had a little way with words,” Blewer modestly told the Monthly in a recent interview. He is survived by his wife Shirley and two sons. Back to Top |
