Alumni January Newsletter Dear Milne Alumni and Supporters, In this issue: * Dr. Theodore H. Fossieck Scholarship * Chuck Eson, '64, Stamp Insider Article * Sad News DR. THEODORE H. FOSSIECK SCHOLARSHIP If you, as a Milne School alumnus, alumna, or faculty member, have a direct descendant attending or planning to attend the University at Albany as an undergraduate for the upcoming school year, please contact Bill Brooking, Scholarship Coordinator, at 518-442-5478 or [email protected] for information regarding an application for the Dr. Theodore H. Fossieck Scholarship. "Established by Dr. Theodore H. Fossieck, former Principal of the Milne School and member of the Education faculty, the purpose of this fund is to provide a scholarship to a descendant of a Milne School graduate or of a Milne School faculty member.... The scholarship will be awarded to the first eligible person to apply during the application period, providing the recipient meets admissions standards." CHUCK ESON, '64, STAMP INSIDER ARTICLE Chuck Eson, '64, wrote an article about John Warren Butterfield and the Butterfield Overland Express that was published in the Stamp Insider January/February issue. It is available on the Stamp Insider website. You can reach the January/February edition directly here and then scroll down to page 14. John Warren Butterfield was a man who became the Steve Jobs of his era. His extraordinary accomplishments in creating ways for far-flung Americans to communicate with each other in the face of severe criticism and skepticism have gone unnoticed and unappreciated.
