Fall 2024 In HindSight

Please enjoy scrolling through our newly reformatted newsletter. We hope you will like it. Since our summer edition of the newsletter, we have had two luncheons. You’ll find an article and pictures of both in the newsletter. Our final luncheon this year, the Holiday “Lupper”, will be held Friday, December 6th, at the Alcon Crossroads Conference Center (old cafeteria). We’ll get together, enjoy another excellent lunch, a speaker, holiday music, games and a raffle. Watch for details soon!

In HindSight – In Memoriam Ed Schollmaier

The passing of Ed Schollmaier was felt by the communities he served, especially Alcon, TCU, the Fort Worth Opera, and the city of Fort Worth. Many of our current members started their careers at Alcon when Ed was the CEO and have many memories of his leadership, his kindness, and his stories.  We created this special edition of In Hindsight to honor his service to our varied communities and to remember the impact he had on so many of us retired Alcon employees.

The In HindSight Newsletter has been published in memoriam to Ed Schollmaier.  After you log in, Go to Newsletter.
