____________________________________________________________________________ Class Associates Report: 2/18/2022
We lost 9 classmates in 2021. To date, we have lose one classmate in 2022. Those lost in 2021 will be honored @ the ‘live’ community-wide Service of Remembrance, February 2022. Lost classmates are additionally remembered on the Class of 1972 Webpage within our “Crossings” contemplative locus. Crossings represents a timely, sensitive and practical tool of communication to the Class. It offers the Class of 1972 a unique portal for sharing the loss of our Classmates and offering a space for personal reflections. Crossings has become an invaluable extension of the Class ethos. Further extended Memorials were or are pending publication in the Princeton Alumni Weekly. The Class extends are thanks for the editorial skills of M. Glenn Morris. The Service of Remembrance is now served by a web portal which allows the Princeton community to share reflections for those honored by the annual ceremony. The Class of 1972 Crossing entries are entered through this site to share their loss with the broader Princeton community. Each year at the Alumni Day Class Dinner we will offer an additional brief reflection those classmates lost during the preceding year.

Member Role: 931 Living role: 834 Honorary: 28 (4 expired) Spouses with contacts: 58 As previously reported, the University and Princeton Alumni Weekly management have announced a new financial and editorial independent relationship. This structure is reviewed in the Qctober18, 2021 PAW editorial authored by PAW Board chair, Marc Fisher ‘80. Under the new relationship, Classes will not be charged for subscription fees to PAW. Previously, the Class of 1972 had chosen to cover PAW subscription costs to Class Associates We anticipate this subscription fee will be covered by the University, though final review is pending.
