Dear Andy:
Thanks again for your magnificent pledge to our MIT Class of 1956 40th
Reunion Gift. I am delighted for the encouragement which it provides to
others at this early date in our campaign. We have the pleasant task of raising
our goal now.
Respecting your wishes, I shall not say anything about your commitment until
such time as you are ready. Meanwhile, word of the new goal will soon be
distributed to our classmates.
Thanks also for your progress report on your own prospect assignments. I
neglected to mention that Matt Lorber and I had talked three months ago, as I
followed up on his resignation from the Gift Committee. He indicated that his
mind was elsewhere due to his sister's poor health, and I later learned she died
in October. I noted your suggestion of getting Ray Stata's help with Matt at
some point, and will keep track of this in case we want to involve Ray.
I have enjoyed the opportunities which this job has brought of getting
reacquainted with many of our fellow classmates once again. It will be fun to
develop those relationships further when we are together at the reunion next
June.
Thank you for your participation as a member of our committee, Andy.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you.
With best regards,
tin A. Morefield, P.E.
