Alumni May Newsletter Dear Milne Alumni and Supporters, In this issue: * Digitization Project Update * This and That * Sad News DIGITIZATION PROJECT UPDATE Our new total, thanks to donations from Jackie MANN Gavryck, '47; "Jiggs" Englander, '57; and Steve Rider, '67 (I see a pattern there!) is $15,515! Click here for links to the first group of Milne documents to be digitized, the donation form, and an updated list of donations. We need under $10,000 more, so if you haven't yet donated or wish to make an additional contribution, please consider doing so now. THIS AND THAT! If you are interested in receiving Milne School obituaries during the month instead of waiting for the newsletter listings, please click here to send me an email with your request. Our Milne Business Directory is located at https://www.albany.edu/~milne/Business.shtml. If you would like to add your business to the directory, follow the instructions on that page. If you have a link to your email address anywhere on the Milne Alumni website (e.g., the directories or class-contact list), please confirm that it's accurate, especially if you have changed your email address fairly recently. When I receive email-address updates, I have to make changes in multiple locations and sometimes forget the website. Adapted from the 1977 yearbook: The Milne School -- end of an illustrious institution. It has been 132 years -- some long, some short, some suffering. Even though we move on, the building will stay in its resting place. We give you our heart -- yours will be lost eternally. You have lost your last battle -- but we hope you may rest in peace. (There's no indication of the author.) SAD NEWS Please note that I rely upon the Albany Times Union and input from other alumni for this information, so if you become aware of someone who has passed away, please let me know.
