- A persomal note which you may find of interest....
-
- Many of you in the Urban Planning community will know Professor
- Lachlan F. Blair of the University of Illinois, and formerly of
- the pioneering firm Blair Associates of Providence, Rhode Island.
- Blair now heads The Urbana Group, a consulting and planning enterprise
- in (oddly enough) Urbana, Illinois.
-
- Chances are if you participated in the planning program at the U of I
- between 1965-1988 you had the honor of sitting in Lock Blair's UP171
- lecture and were treated to an enormous collection of slides and puns,
- most of which (in particular the puns) have become permanant additions
- to the University.
-
- Lock and Mary blair will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on
- December 12, 1992. As their son (and only unplanned event) I know that
- besides each other nothing has given them greater pleasure over the
- years than to share in the success and adventure of their many students
- and colleagues. If you are one of these would you please take a moment
- to write a short note to the Blairs and let them know how things are
- going in your town these days? Any reminisces or congratulations you
- care to add would of course be appropriate.
-
- We would like to collect letters over the next couple of weeks for
- presentation at a small family dinner on December 5. You may send a letter
- to me electronically at the address below or by replying to this
- article. I will format and print your electronic reply beautifully
- in a foolish attempt to justify the new laser printer :-). You may also
- send paper mail to the address below, or directly to the Blair house
- at 506 West Illinois St, Urbana IL 61801.
-
- Please feel free to forward this request to anyone in the field who may
- have attended the U of I planning program.
-
- Thanks,
-
