PCOSA Alumni Schools Committee 2005-2006
Report. Lindianne writes: I humbly apologize for not having reported to you sooner. In 2006 I focused on organizing
Sustainable Tucson, a network of networks to facilitate Tucson's transition to a
sustainable city and economy. This job was so demanding that I neglected (among
other duties) to report to you the results of the work of the 2005-2006 PCOSA Alumni
Schools Committee. Here is that belated report:
In the first year of the Common Form, an extraordinary number of students from southern Arizona applied to become members of the Class of 2010. PCOSA's Alumni Schools Committee stepped heroically into the breach! Kathleen Bader 05, Tern Cast 76, Kirk Emerson 73, Fred Frelinghuysen 75, Jerry Goldberg 73, Laura Hollengreen 84, Ron Hummel 60, Bill Markus 47, Hugh Miller 79, Ron Morgan 63, Joel Nixon 50, David Reiley 91, Don Rollings 73, Nan Rollings 73, Matthew Rubach, Lindianne Sarno 76, Mary Slepian, MD 77, David Spiro'80 *55 and Ted Taubeneck 48 interviewed 37 students, 3 of whom were accepted.
