Alexander ter Weele ’65 MAT writes that after a 25-year career at the World Bank (upgrading and expanding education in some 100 countries), he retired to become an author. At Brown, his thesis for the physics department was “Modified Bremsstrahlung Spectrum of 5.4 Bev Electrons in Copper,” which he says was “not much fun reading that!” His more recent publications are from “the other end of the spectrum—none of that scientific research stuff!” To see his writing, visit alexterweele.com and look up A Family’s Flight from Holland During World War II, Poems from the Blue Ridge, or short stories about camping and canoeing. (Flight is a true story of Alex and his family fleeing Hitler’s Gestapo.) Given that Alex spent hours in Brown’s physics department in the ’60s, he writes that he was particularly dismayed at the recent murders there.
