 Summer
jobs while a student at Colorado College led Malcolm Richards to a career
in railroading, where his considerable ability eventually took him to the
vice president's chair at Penn Central. through the many moves, he continued
to stay involved with Colorado College, organizing alumni events all over
the country with his wife, Lois.
Following a two-year assignment in the 1960's as chair of the Annual fund,
Mal was elected by fellow alumni to serve a six-year term as Alumni Trustee.
In the early 1970's Mal took on the task of chairing the President's council.
After his retirement to Colorado, Mal's volunteer work on behalf of the
College continued to increase. Since 1976, Mal has helped plan reunions
for the Class of 1940 and has served on the Friend of the Library Board.
during the Colorado College Campaign he was co-chair of the Colorado Springs
Campaign committee and a member of the Friends of Lew Worner Committee,
helping to secure funds for the College's future. Mal became a productive
member of his class' 50th Reunion Giving committee, encouraging classmates
to join him in supporting the College financially.
His long experience with the work of the Alumni Association brought him
an appointment to the important Nominating committee of the National Alumni
Council.
Along with Lois, Mal helped raise five children, three Colorado College
graduates among them. In "retirement" he was a working helper
in Lois' bookstore. The Richards team gave time and effort not only to the
Colorado College Library, but to local alumni on the Lunch Bunch committee
and Aficionados.
In addition to work on behalf of Colorado College, Malcolm has been a Board
member for Goodwill Industries in Colorado Springs for eleven years, serving
as chairman one of those years. He is currently serving on the Cheyenne
Village Board.
We thank Malcolm Richards for his years of devoted service to Colorado College.
