Hello classmates. An effect of having a blog is that our audience includes millions of readers in the blogosphere and random connections can result. I was contacted recently by a friend and former co-worker of Marilyn DeSevo who chanced upon our blog entry on finding lost classmates. I had named Marilyn in that post. He broke the news to me over email that Marilyn had died this past February.
I have informed the College and we’ll remember her at the next service of remembrance when we are on campus.
This friend and I have had some electronic correspondence and I asked if he’d be willing to share a reminiscense in her honor. He said he’d be happy to do that and that I could use his name. So in the next post, I’ll share his words with you.
