UPCOMING RETIREMENT
posted 15 April 2019

Latha Srinivasan (AES Executive Assistant) is retiring the end of
this school year after 31 years of service to the school. Much of
her time was in the high school office, with counselors and then
with principals. She's been the Executive Assistant to the AES Director for the past 15 years. Whenever former teachers visits AES, they all want to say hello and have a photo with her. Hun-
dreds of alumni remember her and have stopped in to say hello
as well.

Much like we did for Alka Bajaj (former AES Secretary) when she retired last summer, the current AES Director would like to collect messages and photos with Latha to present at her retirement ceremony and celebration. He would also like
to share a few messages verbally to her and the school's staff members. Please email your message (and include photos with Latha if you have any) to Mary,
and we will send everything to the Director.

PS-The intent - your messages - is supposed to be a surprise for Latha. She does
not view Facebook much so we're hoping she doesn't catch our posting there or
on this website before her retirement! If you talk or email Latha, please try not
to mention this article to her yet. Thank you!!

SMALL WORLD
posted 31 March 2019

Talk about a small world. My mother was born and grew
up in the small town of Bellefontaine, Ohio. Sometime in
the 1970's, or 80's, my mother got a letter from her niece saying, "We just got the nicest of Indian men to just be-
come the Director of our country schools. His name is Raj Chopra." Who would have guessed that my coach in New Delhi, India, would briefly land in Bellefontaine, Ohio,
during his life journey!" - Paul Ashby, Class of 1967

A Life Well Lived: Dr. Raj K. Chopra (1937-2015)

CELEBRATION OF LIFE TRIBUTE
posted 16 March 2019

Last weekend, in Livermore, California, I was able to
bring the hugs and tributes of so many of you AIS/AES alumni to the family and friends gathered to celebrate
the amazing life of Jacquelin Luise Perottini Singh.

As students so many decades ago, we may never have thought of our teacher as having a life beyond the Taj Barracks or the classrooms in Chanakyapuri. We can
thank Mrs. Singh's children for sharing their most re-
markable mother with us, when she helped us feel at
home in India.

AIS WARRIORS
posted 4 March 2019

For some fun AIS sports tidbit, Paul Ashby (Class of 1967) photographed in 1965, was one of the basketball players during the 1964-1965 school year. Paul explained in that particular year, the team played a lot of games as Tigers
but eventually rebelled as Tigers because they were not content with the way they were being coached. The play-
ers formed their own team (still representing AIS) as the "Warriors" with coach Jim Green, USAID, who had played
at Duke University (with all-American Dick Groat!).
