"In those days, the managers were more prestigious. It was more of a fun job than it is now," Gillette says, adding that he also played a little golf and "drank a lot too much."
After graduation, Gillette worked for Harvard in the alumni area for 23 years. The father of four, Gillette now serves as his class chair. In this role, he has organized his share of luncheons as well as his class's 50th reunion.
"I was looking for something to do after retirement," Gillette says of his volunteer job. "It's all about being nice to the people and giving them the kind of information they are looking for."
"You don't know what is going to come up, but you want to be nice to them," Gillette says. "You want them to think that the people of Cambridge are nice."
