I don’t think that I have a story that comes to mind, like others have. However, what I remember about Don is that he embodied, for me, all that was LGO, and to an extent, all that is MIT. Many professors come and go; many administrators come and go. However, certain people are part of the very fabric of the program, and those people are few and special. Don Rosenfield was in that group. Don WAS LGO – in the classroom, in his office, on the plant tours, and in the many alumni events and conferences afterwards. I’m glad that, during his retirement, I felt that there was an “O Captain, my captain” moment, when those of us who were there could let him know how important he was.
