Alumni News: Ron Horweg (Ph.D.,’71)

Wednesday, August 1, 2018

Stone carving of the Indiana University seal

Ron Horweg (Ph.D.,’71) reports:

“I have been happily retired since 2015. That means more time spent for visits to the doctors, more time for yard work and a chance to devote a lot of time to work in our local church, namely the choir, where my wife Sandra is the choir director. I still manage to do a little professional work: mainly translations for my poet-friend Ralph Grüneberger in Leipzig. When I retired I took the Sweet Briar German program with me. The College almost closed and was saved through the efforts of dedicated alumnae. Since then Sweet Briar has also canceled its Spanish and French programs and its Junior Year in Seville. Still remaining is the Sweet Briar Junior Year in France. I am very proud of my oldest granddaughter Cassandra, who received a 99th percentile on the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) National German exam and won an AATG trip to Germany this summer. I love to speak German regularly with her on the telephone and to give her books from my library.”
