Even though I’m alumni, I don’t get the Waterloo Engineering Alumni Letter. Maybe I haven’t donated enough money or something. Anyways, my dad gets it because I think we gave some money in first year.

I was skimming through it and came across the In Memoriam section. Thankfully i don’t know anyone in that section, but I was surprised at the years that the people graduated. Of the 20 people listed, 8 were from the 70s, 4 from each of the 80s and 90s. So death after an average time of about 25 years in the industry? I guess that’s one way to achieve early retirement. How morbid. Anyways most of them also majored in ECE if that means anything.
