Howard J. Scherry (Col ’60 A/M) founded the organization Remembering Saint-Exupéry. In July, his organization, in conjunction with Middlebury College’s French School, inaugurated a 70th anniversary plaque at the site of Middlebury College’s Chateau in memory of the legendary author-aviator’s visit to Middlebury College, Vt., in August 1939. The plaque reads: Antoine de Saint-Exupery Poet Novelist Aviator 1900-1944. There is only one true luxury, and that is the luxury of human relationships.” In 1939 the French School welcomed the legendary author-aviator. His visit coincided with the translation of his acclaimed work, Wind, Sand and Stars. The declaration of WWII hastened his return to French military service.
