Letters to the Editor

Many thanks to all our readers who send comments via text, email, postal mail, or carrier pigeon. In every message, we see your bond with Menlo College.

Greetings from the Pacific Northwest! We both enjoy the Menlo College Magazine and want to commend you on the quality of both its content and its appearance - good work. We were especially glad to read the article on John Henry Felix, whom we both knew. Wonderful Menlo socks in the photo! Could you tell us how to order some? [Go to campusstore@menlo.edu –Ed.] Thanks for the article on “Bibliotherapy” by Lauren John, and for permission to escape into “good junk” which we both enjoy - it certainly has helped us get through this period of isolation. We deeply appreciated the excellent articles on pages 9-14 thoughtfully discussing racism in America. The student responses to How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi were a good reminder to us to get his book. Ann and JonBowman — Anacortes, WA

Note from President Steven Weiner:

Ann and Jon, Menlo College is ever grateful for your gift in creating the Bowman Library, which has nurtured the studies of generations of Menlo College students. Please enjoy the socks I sent—we hope our graduates follow in your (well-clad) philanthropic footsteps!

I just received the winter edition of the Menlo College Magazine and I thought it was excellent. It covered a wide range of aspects and connections of the college, students, faculty and alumni. Hard to do in these pandemic times. Congratulations! Thanks for including some of my work. [See pages 37-38, Winter 2021 issue, for Christopher’s evocative photos –Ed.] Christopher W.

An outstanding publication, as always. I enjoyed reading it last evening. Thank you for your consistent incredible work! Roxane Marenberg, Menlo College Board of Trustees—Atherton, CA

I imagine getting an email like this several times a year might get repetitive. But I was once again highly impressed with this issue of Menlo Magazine. Pam Gullard’s team seems to outdo themselves each time! Reading the magazine causes me to again to send my congratulations to you and your colleagues on continuing to make Menlo better and better. I’m proud to have been associated with it in its antediluvian days! Tom Scannell—Cupertino, CA

I received my copy a few days ago, and I must say “best ever.” It is a wonderful reflection of our magnificent college. Thank you for this exceptional work. David Irmer ’58 Menlo College Board of Trustees—Sausalito, CA
