<p>How sad anyone attend college with her?</p>
<p>She was in my class. I did not know her personally, but heard her give a very moving talk at our last reunion. This year, among others, we lost Lisa Goldberg, president of Revson Foundation, who died of an aneurysm. </p>
<p>At our last reunion, I remember Harvard’s chaplain saying the memorial service would become increasingly important for us. At middle age, I could understand that, but I didn’t expect it to be like this so soon.</p>
<p>We did have a class member win the Nobel Prize this year, but the deaths are overshadowing that achievement.</p>
<p>She was in my dad’s class as well. Very sad day.</p>
<p>I remember reading a Boston Globe article about her when she was a freshman and visiting her roomate’s home in Quincy (if I remember correctly?) during Thanksgiving. It was a nice piece about a foreign student trying to learn about American families and customs. I was a middle school student at the time.</p>

<p>NY Times story on how her classmates remember her at Harvard.</p>
<p>"BOSTON (AP) – Even at age 16, Benazir Bhutto was unafraid to express herself, a lesson one college classmate learned when she invited Bhutto home for Thanksgiving during their freshman year.</p>
<p>Linda Mottow-Lippa, who lived in Bhutto’s dormitory at Harvard, had a Romanian cousin who was a staunch anti-Communist. During dinner, he and Bhutto had a loud argument about politics.</p>
<p>‘‘I thought World War III was going to break out right then and there,’’ Mottow-Lippa recalled.</p>
<p>Bhutto’s intensity never faded during her time at Harvard, which she later recalled as some of the best years of her life…</p>
<p>Bhutto ‘‘knew she had a fate and knew she needed to move forward with it,’’ classmate Marion Dry said…</p>
<p>She had been sheltered by her wealthy and powerful father, who had also been prime minister. But she seemed eager to experience things for herself. Before Harvard, the story went, the privileged Bhutto had never answered a ringing phone. At Harvard, she volunteered to answer the dorm’s common phone on dreaded ''bells duty…"</p>
<p>‘‘Those years at Harvard were the happiest of my life, because I was completely anonymous,’’ Bhutto told an interviewer in 1988.</p>
<p>Bhutto was known at Harvard as ‘‘Pinkie,’’ a nickname given by a British nurse because she was such a pink baby.</p>
<p>Dry recalled a talk Bhutto’s gave for the class’s 30th reunion in 2003. It was clear she felt a tremendous sense of mission to return and bring democracy.</p>
<p>‘‘This was something that she was going to do for them, if she could possibly do it,’’ Dry said."</p>
