The above quote is from Elizabeth Feroe Bakst (Class of 1967). Read the full memory below:
It was February 1966. M Charles Bakst ’66 had been the top editor of the Brown Daily Herald. I occasionally worked as “CC York” at the Pembroke Record. CC York was the byline used to mask the true identities of a string of writers of a snarky humor column for the Record. CC decided to twit the Brown Daily Herald for some sanctimonious editorial comments denouncing noise and parties which the BDH claimed made the new Rockefeller Library an occasionally loud and distracting place. So it was that I and several friends ambushed “Chuck” Bakst with a surprise and loud birthday party which we photographed and gleefully reported on in the Record. Fast forward. I write this in February 2014 as Charlie’s wife of 46 years. He’ll get a much more subdued party for his 70th birthday on February 22, 2014. You see, we still Rock on, so to speak.
