    CHRIST COLLEGE LIVES: FAITH AND WORK, LOVE AND LIFE FREDRICK BARTON ‘70, EDITOR CHAIR, CHRIST COLLEGE NATIONAL COUNCIL Christ College Lives: Faith and Work, Love and Life Introductory Remarks: CC Homecoming Celebration Saturday, September 30, 2017, 5:30 pm Fredrick Barton ‘70 I find it fitting to be stepping in front of this audience after being introduced by Dean Margaret Franson. It was she, after all, who assigned me the task of standing here at this moment. And that is fitting, too, because, as everyone who graduated from Christ College since 1991 knows first hand, Dean Franson is the engine that pulls the C.C. train. Our esteemed deans may have provided the broad vision, but Margaret Franson supervised the details. And this Golden Anniversary celebration of our founding, like so much about Christ College, has been a Margaret Franson project. I stand here now as one of her details. I frankly don’t recall whose idea it was as part of our anniversary celebration to solicit short biographies from our alumni. But once the idea was agreed to, Margaret volunteered me to edit the submissions into a compendium, which I hope you have had the chance to peruse or will take the chance to read through once the final edition is available. My own reading of these biographies has proven an exquisite pleasure. We C.C. alums have been up to some stuff the last half century, and our compendium is a forthright indication of outstanding individual achievement indicative of amazing programmatic success. I am incredibly pleased to have my own biography nestled among all of these others.
