Dear Classmate, The "In Memoriam" committee has examined the need for a class Memorial Fund as a vehicle for memorializing departed class members and for special support of the College. Many classes, including the classes of 1959, 1960, and 1962, have had such funds for years. This letter announces the class of 1961 Plan and invites your participation. Under the Plan, as approved by the Executive Committee, we will memorialize departed classmates by making contributions to our Endowment Fund, The Class of 1961 Legacy, The American Tradition in Performance Contributions from classmates will be sent to the class Treasurer, Ivar Jozus, who will send money to the Endowment Fund once a year. At that time, we will publish the names of thoses memorialized in the class newsletter. (Ivar will maintain a separate account for In Memoriam contributions within the class Treasury.) To initiate the plan, we are asking you consider making a contribution in memory of one or more classmates already deceased, and a current list is attached. We hope that we can contribute at least $100 to the Endowment Fund for each deceased classmate. We are very happy to announce that the fraternity brothers of Gil Low have honored him by making the initial In Memoriam contribution to the Memorial Fund in his name. Monies donated to the Memorial Fund will be contributions by '61s on behalf of '61s, yet they will empower the College in its core mission. The performing arts rank high among the things which illuminate and excite human beings, and this was recently highlighted in David Birney's report on the Legacy. We hope you will make a tax-deductible contribution now, and make the1961 Memorial Fund a habit in the years ahead. Checks should be made payable to "The Class of 1961" and earmarked "In Memoriam." Ivar's address is 73 Main Street, Middletown, CT 06457.
