Memorial Day: Olin unites vets across generations
May 27, 2016 by Melody Walker

On this Memorial Day weekend, we remember two veterans separated by generations and wars who were united by a generous scholarship at Olin Business School. It’s a moving story about the meeting between Army Major Rodney Lynch, MBA’15, and Col. John H. Von Der Bruegge, a veteran of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

Rodney Linch visited the Von Der Bruegge family at their home in San Antonio, Texas. From left to right: Helen and Karen Von Der Bruegge, Rodney Linch, and Col. Von Der Bruegge. Thanks go to the MBA Graduate Program and Alumni & Development for making the meeting possible.

Thank you to Karen Von Der Bruegge, MBA ’77, for making this scholarship possible and to her father for sharing his story of service with us.
