Comments from classmate profiles…

Aline Zoldbrod: “I am sure everyone who has been keeping up on this website is blown away by the avalanche of notices of deaths of our cohort.”

Michele Cisco Titi:  “It's just very sobering. I think it's partly because we all met each other, knew each other, and for the most part, took leave of each other (at graduation) when we were young. No matter the classmates' actual ages when they died, it somehow feels like they all died young, making the losses feel particularly poignant.”

Matt Rinaldi: “But if our mortality rate is around 20%, we are pretty much at the statistical norm for people born in 1947. We need, individually and collectively, to embrace our own mortality as part of the gift of life.”
