All oral histories

Platt recalls working with Myers to send students to Pembroke and also to get the Pembroke dining hall windows transferred to IWU for installation in The Ames Library. Platt encouraged Minor to apply for Head Master at Pembroke in 2001 and he did, although he withdrew from the pool prior to a final decision. Platt also tells a story of Myers as a recipe collector who wanted a particular recipe sent from their chef to ours. When Platt visited IWU in 1998, Myers arranged a concert in his honor with music by a composer from Pembroke.
