Alumni October Newsletter Dear Milne Alumni and Supporters, In this issue: * Milne Trophies Update * Class of '64 Reunion * Alumni News * Sad News MILNE TROPHIES UPDATE The trophies that are available have been professionally photographed by Stephanie Snyder, UAlbany Alumni Association Communications & Marketing Strategist. These photographs will soon be included on the UAlbany Milne School Digital Collections web page, where we have already posted the scanned versions of our yearbooks, newspapers, and other Milne publications, in addition to photographs of the murals and friezes located in the former Milne library, Milne 200 (now known as the Theodore H. Fossieck Milne Alumni Room). Mark Wolfe, Curator of Digital Collections for UAlbany, is in the process of uploading the trophy photos with information including year, sport, and description. I will let you know when that process has been completed so that you will be able to view the trophies. At that time, Milne Alumni will have an opportunity to own one or more of these trophies. The condition of this memorabilia varies, so we will be happy to provide the condition of any trophy you might like to have. Again, stay tuned.... CLASS OF '64 REUNION Chuck Eson, '64 has announced that the Class of '64 will hold its 55th-year reunion September 7-8, 2019. ALUMNI NEWS Frank Ward would be interested in obtaining a (satin) basketball uniform for any year after 1952. From Dan Brown, '57: Bob Horn, '57, recently sent Dan a favorite sports-related memory from his days at Milne. Dan's reaction was this: "My idea is that perhaps you might invite Milnites to submit stories or remembrances about sports at Milne for publication in the monthly newsletter. I know Milne didn't have much but seem to remember their basketball and baseball teams often played well. Any memories of time at Milne would be welcome." Thanks, Dan! Perhaps your invitation will result in some interesting stories! Anita Harris, '66, is one of 80 journalists whose work was selected for publication in the current Nieman Reports in honor of the 80th anniversay of the Nieman Foundation at Harvard. Anita, now an author and communications consultant, worked in print, radio, and television before spending a year as a Nieman Fellow in 1981. In her article, she writes about how a chance viewing of the Edward R. Murrow documentary, Harvest of Shame, motivated her to become a journalist and where that led. (She says she has not quit journalism; she blogs at http://newcambridgeobserver.com.) SAD NEWS Curtis Manasse, father of Gary Manasse, '70, passed away on September 21, 2018. Hannah Levine, mother of Ronald Levine, '75, passed away on September 27, 2018. Barbara M. Sax, mother of Ellen Sax, '74, and mother-in-law of Nina Feltman Sax, '73, passed away on October 3, 2018.
