I am now an 82-year old college professor in retirement where I can indulge retrospections of the elements that have shaped me over the years. Chief among these was my time at (A)OSR from 1952 to 1954, where I made real friendships with many other students. I could go on about what OSR did for me, in particular, how I have been impacted by my teachers still to this day. I make donations to AOSR, because I hope that AOSR can continue to provide catalytic experiences for all of its students, as it did for me.
