The Tagliacozzo Family Update

The Family of Angelo Tagliacozzo

From the Desk of: Dennis McGrath (CPG-08578), Co-Chair Scholarship Committee

I wanted to share a brief summary of recent email communications I had with Rhoda, Amy, and Eric - the widow, daughter, and son of Angelo Tagliacozzo, in whose honor the Memorial Geological Scholarship was cfeated by NE/AIPG in 1987. I updated the family on the recent achievements of the NE/AIPG scholarship fund named after their husband and father. They each received the “Coming Full Circle” article that appeared in the Spring 2020 newsletter; excerpts from thank you letters received from eight of this year’s scholarship recipients; and the Final Status Report from the 2018-2019 academic year that featured photographs of six scholarship recipients with various NE/AIPG ExCom members receiving their scholarship checks or congratulations.

First and foremost, Rhoda, Amy, and Eric were each thrilled to receive the update. It brought back happy memories to Rhoda of the time Angelo spent in NE/AIPG. It made Amy and Eric both feel good to know their father’s legacy lives on. They all expressed the belief that Angelo would be proud and happy to know that so many young scholars are being helped by the scholarship program established in his name in 1987. In return, I promised, on behalf of the NE Section, to keep them updated on a more regular basis in the future.

We encourage you to Give Back to the profession that has given you so much!
