Letters

This thank you note has to do with leaving: Rebecca leaving Swarthmore now, and Frank Aydelotte leaving Swarthmore, nearly 75 years ago.

I waded through the article about Mr. Chu, hoping to find why this was ever written, and why then published. I never found out. An exemplary Swarthmore alum? Newsworthy? A lesson for our times? A comment on some aspect of the world? No to all the above.

I read with interest the July Bulletin article about Arthur Chu ’06, and am writing to let you know that I am another of Swarthmore’s Jeopardy! winners. I won $15,200 in a show that originally aired May 31, 1993, and lost in the next show because of timid betting in the final round.

I encourage all alums and all others in the greater Swarthmore community to see and talk about these shows.  They are an important contribution to our understandings and actions as we face global warming individually and together.

I know that car well. In 1956 I was a very car-conscious 16-year-old high-school senior. In January that year my friend Lester Neidell’s dad won a new red and white Ford Fairlane in a charity raffle. About a month later someone totaled it while Lester was driving.
