"黃太太告訴我，她已和先生離婚"。晚餐多談黃去台大讀emba之後，遇新女友(同學)，二家庭的重組。
東海工業工程2班："我們這班(1975級IE)"；1973級的游思俊、張忠樸、徐錚。
1963級的臺大電機：王晃三、胡定華
昨天當然會談到班上近日出土的留美音樂家苦邦，顧問講些他這室友的故事 (微積分大考前昏睡......)。出乎意外，Bruce背出1971年系上的學號前三名：許邦雄、張蓓蒂、陳增雄(依入學時分數序)。顧問說Peter Lee(基正兄)最符合他說的，能長期從事一件事(業)的，都是了不起的。.....
臺大某班電機系畢業生，我認識2位，他們對我的影響都相當大。胡定華先生是我在電子工業研究所的所長，1981年我當上勵進會主委，有機會參加一年的所務會議，了解許多管理實。務。之後，胡所長說，(在下)能在一年內，讓所有所內同仁對所向心力增加，善用數百萬元的福利費，他是有資格當"部門經理"的。這讓我做了電子所最年輕的經理。
另外一位市王晃三先生。胡、王都從臺大畢業入交大的電子研究所。王先生畢業後被飛利浦公司高雄建元廠禮聘為品管經理，也曾到荷蘭母公司服務一年......我們從事品管這行的人都聽過王先生的故事：從開車上班，後來改成騎自行車去工業區上班.....再過幾年，索性到中原大學教書，給品管學會這組織的月刊等很大的服務......我們80年代中都期盼王先生從美國取得博士回國能給業界新氣息......
王老師65歲退休，我們在品質學會給他開場研討會。2011年他70歲，我專程到中研的工業工程暨系統工程研究所專題演講，送100本書(4本書各25本)。

王老師，今天有空，將x0萬匯入，希望示範報答中原，紀念忠樸。
你動作真快。
我也準備好2 萬，日內也可以匯入。
獎學金辦法明天就要開始弄了，
這幾天忙著準備今天的演講。

“Masterpiece” of Brutalism celebrated with new exhibition
As the rediscovery and reevaluation of Brutalism in the UK continues to gather pace, the University of Essex officially opens an exhibition this week devoted to its iconic Colchester Campus – described by the co-curator Professor Jules Lubbock as a “masterpiece” of 1960s design.
The show titled Something Fierce: University of Essex – Vision and Reality opens as the National Trust launches tours of the 27-storey Balfron Tower, a 1960s concrete tower block in east London, designed by architect and designer Erno Goldfinger.
Professor Lubbock, an expert on architecture and urbanism alongside the Italian Renaissance, has fought for years for recognition for the Colchester Campus designed by Kenneth Capon from Architects' Co-Partnership.
Thousands still live and work at the Colchester Campus with some not realising the architectural heritage of the buildings designed at the University’s birth 50 years ago.
Professor Lubbock, who co-curated the exhibition with University Arts and Gallery Director Jessica Kenny, said: “Capon’s ferocity has been loved by some, loathed by many and blamed for years of student protest.
“By explaining the rationale of our 1960s architecture we hope to raise people’s awareness of the University’s heritage and encourage people to be proud of it.”
The title of the exhibition, designed by David Hillman, is inspired by Capon’s insistence that he wanted to avoid the English trap of "softening everything up" and "do something fierce to let them work within".

The displays investigate how an 18th century landscaped parkland once painted by Constable and with a Jacobean mansion at its heart became the home of an ultra-modern 20th century university.
Professor Lubbock explains the ideas which inspired the University including the key figures of Lord Annan and the first Vice-Chancellor Sir Albert Sloman and how Capon carried those ideas into the masterplan and the key buildings.
Capon’s key buildings include the dramatically positioned Albert Sloman Library influenced by another Brutalist masterpiece - Kenzo Tange’s Kagawa Prefecture - and the imposing brick towers which evoke Kahn’s Philadelphia Laboratories.
The Albert Sloman Library is still influential and was included as an icon of the 20th century in the V&A exhibition British Design 1948–2012: Innovation in the Modern Age.
The exhibition is being staged in another iconic building The Hexagon, newly refurbished especially, which once graced a postage stamp due to its provocative quartz inspired design.
The Hexagon
The displays include photos, architectural drawings and even a recreation of the LEGO model built by Capon for Sloman in 1962 to explain his initial masterplan.
Other displays include examples of how the original 1960s concrete was created on site to highlight the skilled workmanship required.
A second section of The Hexagon exhibition is devoted to the life of the University over the past five decades including the student protests of the late 1960s and 1970s through to the Anti-Apartheid Movement and human rights campaigns of more recent years.
Something Fierce: University of Essex – Vision and Reality. The Hexagon, University of Essex, Colchester Campus, Tuesday 7 October – Saturday 13 December 2014, Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11am – 5 pm.
