Class of 1962 Scholarship Fund
In honor of our leader, Gary Roebuck '62
Gary embodied the spirit of Our Strong Band. He was fully devoted in his efforts to bring our classmates together, leading the creation of five major class reunions and countless mini-reunions around the country. He was tireless in updating our class database, making it his and our mission to find and welcome every one of ours. In 1986, he assembled our first organizing committee, the LEC, and led monthly meeting from the 1980s through 2012, our 50-year reunion. A recurrence of his leukemia in 2016 ended the life of our warm and welcoming “short, stout whirling dervish” of a classmate with the “tenacity of a pit bull.”
Please contribute to the Gary Roebuck Scholarship Fund to help worthy Stuyvesant grads (selected on the basis of academics, financial need, and community service) in their pursuit of higher education.
Or, consider contributing to our Class of 1962 Scholarship Fund honoring someone inspiring in your life, using the same or other criteria. One of our classmates has already set up a generous scholarship in honor of his mother.
