Reader Comments on Three Days at Yale from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 12 Feb 2012 23:18:40 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/memories/three-days-at-yale I didn't know my classmate, Joe Jaffer, and I didn't actually meet Susan Jaffer at the 55th reunion of the Class of '52. I was the moderator of the discussion group on singing she mentions, so we did meet after a fashion. I am grateful to her for writing her memoir of the week-end. There were widows of friends there whom I did meet and I was glad that they came to join with the class. My wife died months after our 30th, and that loss makes me especially appreciative of the wonderful women who have made our lives after Yale rich and full.

I knew Joe Jaffer and I know how genuinely happy he would/will be by what his Widow Susie wrote. I've been touched by her courage to attend the Reunion alone and so happy to hear about the warmth that was there for her. Thank you for your rich memoir, Susie. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Thu, 25 Sep 2008 17:29:24 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/memories/three-days-at-yale Beautifully written memoir. Susan's experience touches me because her love for her husband is so evident in every word about him. Watching such a brilliant mind falter slowly, painfully in front of your eyes is a torture especially when it is your beloved spouse. I enjoyed Susan's spin on her adventure, captured with deep color, warmth,and humor. It is clear that Susan's heart was cheered and soothed by those who brought Joe back to her for a moment in time.

I know my father would have been (IS) proud to have been represented by you and your absorbing account of your experiences there. I don't know how I missed this when it was first published but I'm so glad it was here for me to read for the first time today. I'll continue this praisefest in private but thank you for this glimpse of my father's beloved Yale. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 20 Jan 2010 20:55:21 +0100
