Introduction

About the DePaul Emeritus Society

DePaul University values its ongoing connections with its faculty and staff retirees, as it values their past contributions to the university’s mission. The DePaul University Emeritus Society was founded in 2008 with the merger of the Staff Emeritus Society and the Emeritus Professors Association. The Society is sponsored by the University’s Office of Mission and Values.

The purpose of the DePaul Emeritus Society is to provide a means for ongoing connection, communication, and socialization between the university and its emeritus faculty and staff, and between individual retirees whose professional lives were for so many years dedicated to university service.

Photos, events, and information of interest to members of the DePaul Emeritus Society will be posted to this blog. Please take a look, add your comment, offer to be an "author" or just enjoy.

I REMEMBER! - DO YOU?

Dr. Julian Andorka, DES member, has a new book out entitled: I REMEBER! - DO YOU?   He shares this about his new book:

"I am the Hungarian Yankee from Chicago who wrote this book. I learned the English language from the British Broadcasting Corporation while listening to short wave radio on the Russian Front in World War II.  I loved it. I mean the language not the war.

"This book started with Grandmother at my birth and will end 90 some years later when Saint Peter, our gatekeeper calls me.   This book documents that for almost ninety years I was not just alive, but also loving the people who made it worth living.

"This book is neither a fiction, - it is real life, - nor is it a documentary not being chronological.  It is rather an interactive Chit-chat between the author and the reader.  The main characters are often funny and occasionally dramatic, always proving that the fruit of learning, and working during the day, loving and hugging during the night will be HONEY."



The book is available directly from the publisher at www.authorhouse.com, keyword: Andorka or through Amazon.com

Dr. Andorka, thanks for letting us know about your latest publication.  Hope to see you October 19, 2012 at the next DES Luncheon.
