I cherish the friendship I had with Joe and Jean Platt. When Nick and I arrived in Claremont in 2006, Joe and Jean were so gracious to us. I will always remember sitting on the Platt’s living room floor, singing, clapping and enjoying each other’s company. I would come to realize that this hospitality had been extended to many before us. During her 20 years as HMC鈥檚 first lady, Jean played host for freshman dinners, faculty teas, trustee receptions and many more events integral to the College鈥檚 early development. In addition to her contributions to the College, Jean was energetic and faithful community volunteer. I know that I join many others in thanking Jean for all that she has done for 无忧视频 and the Claremont community.
