Jonathan Yoder writes: “On Friday, October 13, 2023, I made my first and so far only return to Brown since graduating. This was a great joy. In my journal I noted, ‘We made it to Brown! What a joy and a victory.’ And my mother, Susan, was with me. We had a great time walking around. I showed her Pembroke (my freshman dorm) and other sites. It was Family Weekend, so a visiting spirit was in the air, students and parents walking about. I showed my mother the English department, where I had visited late professor and poet Michael S. Harper during his office hours, and where he had rigorously advised me on life and instilled hope and encouragement in me for the long run. How sad to learn he died. I will always cherish his mailed notes on 3×5-inch tan index cards. I reported all this to David Reinstein and Tim Tibbitts in the hope they can give themselves and their loved ones the same treat sometime.”
