Perry,
Ernest J. "Chico" Wilson from DC (Harvard Class of 1970) was recently
appointed Dean of the University of Southern California Annenberg
School for Communication. He attended the Capitol Page School in
Washington. At Harvard he lived in Wigglesworth Hall as a
freshman. Interestingly, he is somehow related to June Cross '75 and
Chico's maternal grandfather, Thomas Montgomery Gregory, was in the
Class of 1910 and his maternal uncle, Thomas Montgomery Gregory, Jr.,
was in the Class of 1944. In the Class of 1944 was also Alexander
Louis Jackson III, son of Alexander Louis Jackson II (Class of 1914)
and father of Alexander Louis Jackson IV, Chico's classmate in the
Class of 1970. Who would have thunk (smile) that we had
third-generation black folk back then.
Let's all congratulate Chico and his wife Fran Rusan Wilson
(Wellesley '69), a professor of African American Studies at the
University of Maryland, College Park.
Best regards,
David
