Exciting news came from Larry Jaffe ’46. He wrote saying that he graduated with the class of 1945, and that he believes students and alumni will be interested in seeing that one is never too old to start something new. I saw Larry featured on the NBC Evening News as a first-time film producer who delivered a movie that features Oscar and Emmy Award-winning actors. It has been called an uplifting movie, prompting Larry to comment, “We need good things to happen to us after this year of isolation.” Profits from the movie, he hopes, will fund a major initiative in his hometown of Gainesville, Florida, to help the poor. He considers making this movie to be a link to one of his ultimate goals in life: stopping the income disparity that he believes has the potential of destroying our democracy. Meanwhile, Larry, who got in to this business at the age of 92, already has two other scripts he’s working on with several potential investors lined up. Perhaps the most miraculous thing about The Girl Who Believes in Miracles, is Larry himself! Thanks to Larry for sharing the link to the trailer (thegirlwhobelievesinmiracles.com) and congratulations! On a sad note, Phil Lewis passed away at home on March 5. He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Adele Susan (Rosenbaum) Lewis, and his three children and their families. After Dartmouth Phil graduated from Albany (New York) Medical School. He began his career as a pediatrician, serving as a captain at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, where he built the base’s pediatric clinic. After several years in the military, he went into private practice and for 58 years cared for generations of children and their families in the Denver area until his retirement at age 86. Phil was also a clinical professor at the University of Colorado Medical School and published several articles in medical journals. Phil spent time with his family hiking, fishing, skiing, and playing tennis; he also took great pleasure in gardening and landscaping. We send heartfelt condolences to Adele and to the extended family.
