Portraits From a Pandemic

Just wanted to thank you for the beautiful portraits. I loved the diversity of stories. You really captured the humanity, persistence, courage, creativity, resilience and compassion of people.

Please pass on my congratulations to Seth Faber and Jamie Fishkin on their April 4 wedding. It is a wonderful date for Terps. My wife and I (both class of ’78) met one night in LaPlata Hall in 1975, and were married April 4, 1982, by the Maryland Hillel rabbi. We wish you the same 38 wonderful years, and counting, we have experienced.

Collecting a New Generation’s Stamp of Approval

The University of Maryland can be very proud of Scott English ’93. He has done much to organize and energize the American Philatelic Society, the world’s largest stamp club. As a longtime stamp collector and a former staff member of the APS who worked for Scott, I laud Scott for his knowledge, enthusiasm and leadership in an area he once knew little about. The APS has been incredibly lucky to have him at its helm.

Kind Words That Keep Terp’s Crew Going

I have always appreciated the work of the alumni program, but this month I was just dazzled by Terp magazine. It was well laid out and full of fascinating articles. I hope you can find a way to distribute it beyond alumni to a wider audience. They will be impressed.

My wife and I read your magazine, once again, front to back. We would not have thought about the school if we hadn’t received the magazine. Well designed with strong copy, great photos, good sheet and good printer. I’m a bit compromised as a graphic designer so I love this stuff, but my girls (both 2016 grads) also read and enjoy it.

This Fall 2020 Terp magazine made me smile and brought tears to my eyes, thoroughly enjoyed it. Kudos to the publishing team. #UMDCollegePark #UMDalum
