One hundred and sixteen newly retired faculty and staff members from campus and Lincoln Laboratory were honored at the annual retirement dinner at Endicott House on Sept. 5. President and Mrs. Charles M. Vest hosted the event; Kathryn Willmore, vice president and secretary of the Corporation, and Laura Avakian, vice president for human resources, served as masters of ceremonies.
The combined total years of service of this year's group of retirees is 3,233 years, with an average of 28 years apiece. Topping the list in seniority were Mr. John W. Barrett and Professors George F. Koster and Merton C. Flemings, each with 50 years. Of the new retirees, 89 were from campus and 27 were from Lincoln Laboratory.
Following is the list of 2001 retirees and the number of years they were employed at MIT. (Some departmental information provided may appear outdated, as several retirees are on long-term disability. Individuals' most recent departmental affiliations are listed.)
