Time to take an intellectual and spiritual trip down memory lane with three of the most extraordinary figures of our undergraduate years: the great art historian Vincent Scully, the unforgettable University Chaplain William Sloane Coffin, and Sterling Professor of Humanities Harold Bloom, who passed away on October 14. Links to lectures by all three of them are present on our Faculty Videos page. Click here for some of Professor Scully’s most memorable lectures, including talks on Eero Saarinen, Louis Kahn, Maya Lin, and modern architecture. Click here for some of Reverend Coffin’s most memorable sermons at New York’s historic Riverside Church, where he served for more than ten years as Senior Minister after his time at Yale. And click here to view Professor Bloom’s lectures. We’re still looking for videos of historian John Morton Blum and philosopher Paul Weiss. We’ll let you know as soon as we find them. Please tell us if there are any other professors you’d like us to search for. FIND MORE on our Faculty videos page. Classmate Publications
We have news of books by classmate authors Stephen Dahl, Karl Marlantes, John Mauceri, Mike Kail, Dave Richards, Jack Finnell, Bill Betsch and Joe Czarnecki. Our next regular meeting will be held on the second Wednesday of the month at the Yale Club, 50 Vanderbilt Ave. We gather around 12:30pm, but latecomers are always welcome. You need not be a member of the Club to attend this lunch (but bring some cash to reimburse a classmate member who will sign for your meal). The conversation and topics are unrestrained, including lies about your golf score! For more information, please contact Dave Richards. May/June By Marty Snapp Sad news, classmates. We have lost two more of our number: John Czaja and Francis McGovern.
John died last September 21, survived by Carol Fishman Czaja, a childhood friend and the mother of his children Ian and Jason and his grandchildren Ben and Nik; and his wife of 25 years, Brenda Stevens. He was a musical prodigy, especially on the trumpet. He could play anything, but his greatest love was jazz and the blues. He was already giving music lessons to others by age ten, and in high school he played every weekend with an adult band, as well as the New Hampshire Symphony. He kept making music at Yale, playing in both the football band and the concert band. “John played trumpet in the Yale Marching Band during the years when a salacious performance was de rigeur,” says his roommate, John Crowley. “And he had a beautiful singing voice,” adds Joe Cohen, a fellow Saybrugian. “He was soft spoken but a really nice guy.” … READ MORE

BREAKING NEWS: Victor took part in a candidates forum on May 7, which was recorded. We can all view the video here. While the rest of us are wondering who to vote for in this year’s Yale Corporation election, our classmate Victor Ashe is already running for a seat in next year’s election. And he’s taking the rare step of seeking nomination by petition instead of waiting for the Corporation to anoint him. The only time this has ever been successfully done was during our sophomore year in 1965, when William Horowitz was elected. But the rules are a lot less friendly for such candidacies now. When Horowitz ran, he only had to get 250 signatures. Now they’re making Victor get 4,396, and he has only four months to get them – from this May 18 to October 1. Click here to be taken to Victor’s website to find out more about him, including his faithful service to both George W. Bush and Barack Obama as America’s ambassador to Poland (how Yale of him, don’t you think?) and how you can sign his petition, if you like. Social Distancing ’67-Style
Here’s Don Metzger modeling the memorabilia prototype for our next reunion in 2022, with tongue placed firmly in cheek: So here’s Peter Petkas modeling an alternative souvenir of his own invention, which seems to meet Randy’s requirements:
“Dave Wenner’s
Retirement Hobby” When Dave retired in 2003 from a 30-year career in management consulting with McKinsey & Company, the first item on his bucket list was to learn about “the mysteries of the universe, from the largest scales (astrophysics and cosmology) to the smallest (quantum theory).” This was the delayed fulfillment of a childhood dream Dave had as a boy growing up near Cape Canaveral, Florida. Dave started by consuming dozens of nontechnical books on the history of physics, astrophysics and cosmology, but soon decided to hire a post-doc to tutor him in physics, while collecting and reading first editions… READ MORE Helpful Resources
