A Note from Evelyn Aye, wife of John Thompson ('43):
My husband, John Thompson, Jack to me, graduated from the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, CT in 1932; from Princeton University, majoring in History, in 1936 (Phi Beta Kappa in his Junior Year); received two graduate degrees from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, I think in 1939 & 1940; and his PhD from Johns Hopkins University,?about 1943.? At Hopkins he was in the Department of Middle East Studies and studied Old Testament Language & Literature under Dr. Albright.? I became acquainted with Jack at "Biblical" (Seminary) in 1942, when he went to teach there and I was a new student there.? Born in Egypt, he returned there to teach in 1948, and taught there for a span of 20 years. It is interesting to note that Jack, his father, and his grandfather all graduated from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary or its predecessor(s), his grandfather in 1874.? They all became United Presbyterian ministers; all served as educational missionaries?in Egypt.
After teaching for a span of 18 years in Egypt, where two of my four children were born, I made a 12-day trip (Oct 30 to Nov 10, 2005) to Cairo for the Evangelical (Protestant) Denomination's 150th Anniversary celebration; and for the 50th anniversary of their conference center on the Mediterranean coast. I was representing my late husband, the Rev. Dr. John Alexander Thompson, his parents, the Rev. Dr. F. Scott Thompson?& May Alexander Thompson, and his grandparents, the Rev. Dr. John Romich Alexander & Carrie Elder Alexander.? Together, as Presbyterian missionaries,?we comprise three generations of our family's service to the church in Egypt, covering, I figure, a span of 93 years.? Seeing former students of my husband's, and mine, and visiting historic and modern places were a great privilege. Actually, five generations of our family have lived in Egypt, because my elder son, Henry Alexander Thompson, lived and worked there also, and his daughter, my only grandchild, Alexandra Thompson, was born there.
Latest publication by Joseph A. Fitzmyer ('56):
THE GENESIS APOCRYPHON OF QUMRAN CAVE 1 (1Q20): A COMMENTARY, THIRD EDITION (Biblica et orientalia 18B; Rome: Biblical Institute Press, 2004). Its new 80 pages include the columns and partial columns that have recently been read, along with an updated grammatical analysis of the Aramaic text.
Robert Biggs ('62) writes:
My bit of news is that I retired in June 2004 after 41 years at the Oriental Institute. I remain on the Editorial Board of the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary and, for the moment, I am remaining as editor of the Journal of Near Eastern Studies.
A. H. Mathias Zahniser ('73) has been appointed interim director of the Jewish-Christian Studies program at Greenville College, Greenville, Illinois.
Diane Krasner ('76) writes:
Life is going well for me . . . . I am living part-time in Baltimore and part-time in York, PA having married Mr. David Welber of York about 1 1/2 years ago. We live in a splendid brownstone in Historic Downtown York and are very, very happy. Professionally, I am quite busy serving a two year term as President of our national wound association, the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (www.aawcone.org) and working full-time as a Regional Clinical Manager for Coloplast Corp. (www.us.coloplast.com).
Michael Dick ('77) writes:
I have just been awarded the Catholic Biblical Association Visiting Professorship to the Pontificio Istituto Biblico in Rome for Fall 2006. I am of course quite happy but also somewhat saddened to think how much my friend and teacher Del Hillers had looked forward to that position before his illness interrupted it. So now I have to stop my Czech Classes and work on my Italian since I committed myself to teach in Italian.
Sad news: Evelyn Perry ('86) passed away last week.?Simone Robin writes:? She was a wonderful person, a very close friend and we were the NES Egyptology "group" of Paris.? She will be missed by all who knew her.
New publications from Mark Phelps ('94):
2006 "Catholic Epistles and Hebrews," a chapter in an untitled introduction to the New Testament, edited by Kim Paffenroth (in press).
2005 "North Africa and the Middle East," in Encyclopedia of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity , published by Routledge (in press).
Peg Boden ('99) writes:
While I was completing my dissertation as a non-resident student, I began working in the cultural resources management industry to earn some income. Some friends of mine who have graduate degrees in Classics were doing the same thing. We got together and formed our own company in the spring of 2002. We do studies and produce reports, mostly for government agencies who must follow regulations about historic preservation. We have completed about 30 projects. I'm now leading a large study of the Middle Missouri River for the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. It involves a synthesis of the known resources and a write up of the cultural history of the region.
Although I've had to switch my focus to North America, I still use all the education I received about doing research, writing clearly, etc. I specialize in interpreting historic documents, such as records of land transactions. You can visit our website (which will soon be updated) at www.4gconsulting.net.
I try to keep up my Near Eastern reading. I still buy books and have a pile to read.
Seth Sanders ('99) writes:
I will be visiting assistant professor of Hebrew Bible at Cornell next year, as well as a faculty guest at Telluride House. My publication plans involve the completion of three books over the next year (Cuneiform in Canaan with Wayne Horowitz and Takayoshi Oshima; the Margins of Writing Oriental Institute conference volume; my own Vernacular Revelation: The Language of the Hebrew Bible and the Politics of Ancient Israel, all three of which are in various manuscript stages).
Simone (Burger) Robin ('02) writes:
I would love to send news of my own publications, but at the moment I have other "obligations."? I now have three children (Theodore 5; Eug?nie 3; and "little" Max who will be 1 in a few more weeks).? Now that Max does not need my constant presence, and Teddy and Eug?nie are in school, I am planning to return to the topic of my dissertation and will be presenting a paper at the upcoming ARCE conference, entitled "Towards a definition of three-dimensional Ramesses IV statuary."
Congratulations to Alison Schofield ('02) who has been appointed Assistant Professor of Religious and Judaic Studies and the University of Denver, starting next January.
Congratulations to Bruce Wells ('03), who has been appointed to a tenure-track position in Hebrew Bible at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, beginning in the Fall.
Nozomu Kawai (06) writes:
I will be a Lecturer (part-time) at the School of International Liberal Studies at Waseda University from the fall semester 2006. I shall be teaching four classess in both Egyptology and Humanities in English.
