Walter H. Annenberg

ANNENBERG-Walter H. The officers, board and staff of the American Technion Society (ATS) deeply mourn the loss of Walter H. Annenberg of St. Davids, Pennsylvania, and Rancho Mirage, California. A media giant, statesman, and magnanimous philanthropist, Mr. Annenberg served as Ambassador to Great Britain and was awarded the United States Medal of Freedom. The ATS and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology benefited from Mr. Annenberg's legendary generosity with unrestricted funding, which was used to recruit talented new faculty. The Ambassador and his wife, Leonore, were Technion Guardians, signifying the highest level of commitment. Ambassador Annenberg was awarded an honorary doctorate of science from the Technion on the occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the ATS in 1991. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his wife, Leonore, and the entire Annenberg family. American Technion Society Evelyn Berger, President Lawrence S. Jackier, Chairman, Board of Directors Melvyn H.
