No surprises here! Phoenix Society member Michael Weinberg Jr., LAB'41, AB’47, recently celebrated his 95th birthday, and the lively festivities included UChicago tributes in the form of a cake featuring "the bench" (which is located on campus and was given in his name by his late wife Joan), and a custom made UChicago shirt and mask. Weinberg’s longtime love and support for the University has earned him the title of the University’s longest-running donor, with a track record of consecutive giving for the past 79 years. Bravo!
