Carl Christ<\/strong> emailed us the following note:<\/p>\n

\u201cDear Friends:<\/em>
\n Some of my CC friends from the early 1940s may like to know that The Alumni Assn. of Johns Hopkins U (where I taught economics from 1950 to 2005, with an occasional absence) has given me their Heritage Award, given to a few alumni and friends of the university for unusual service over an extended period. I was in the class of 1944\u00a0 at CC, but left in 1942 because of WWII, and finished my education at the U of Chicago with a B.S. in physics and a Ph.D. in economics. The only CC person I am still regularly in touch with is Betty Van Valkenburgh Lindeman \u201946<\/strong>, who married my best friend George Lindeman \u201944 (now deceased). Their son Ted is a professor at CC. Betty\u2019s sister Paula Van Valkenburgh Wardwell \u201944<\/strong> was in my class. Bob Clark \u201944<\/strong> and I exchange Christmas newsletters. I extend regards and good wishes to anyone who may remember me.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Fitzgerald \u201957 was invited by the Boston Red Sox to join Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and Caroline Kennedy in first-pitch ceremonies in April. Tom\u2019s grandfather, John F. \u201cHoney Fitz\u201d Fitzgerald, was the mayor of Boston in 1912, when he had the honor of throwing out the first pitch. For the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park, Tom was given a ball and told to throw it to baseball legend Carl Yastrzemski. \u201cWhat a special day it was to be a part of the Fenway celebration and to have Yaz as my battery mate, even if it was only for a single pitch,\u201d Tom says.<\/p><\/div>\n

Tom Cohen developed the movie and co-wrote the screenplay for \u201cThe River Why,\u201d based on the\u00a0novel of the same name by David James Duncan. Tom\u2019s wife produced the film, and together they\u00a0manage the company that owns it. \u201cThe River Why\u201d stars Zach Gilford, Amber Heard, and William\u00a0Hurt.<\/p>\n

1969<\/h3>\n
