Common Denominator

Fenno's loss will have a special significance for us: in a sense, we owe our very lives together (and our children owe their very existence) to the YGC and Fenno. We met through YGC and got to know each other on those bus rides to local concerts and during winter tour. That was more than 25 years ago and yet, by then, Fenno had already presided over the YGC for decades, as Yale and the YGC went co-ed and became much more diverse communities. Fenno didn't look back. He embraced the changes while passing on a sense of the tradition and joy that made us proud.

Notwithstanding the differences, YGC alums that I encounter from the various decades of Fenno's leadership all share the same bond and similar memories: we made good music, we formed strong friendships and we had wonderful experiences that we can never forget. The common denominator for all of us was your father. What a great run he has had. He will live on in the fond memories of the hundreds he taught and befriended.
