Margaret Alexander ’71 was among the passengers aboard a helicopter that disappeared in the mountains of Nepal on Saturday, September 23rd. Searchers have now reached the crash site, about 400 kilometers east of Katmandu, and have confirmed there were no survivors. Margaret was the Deputy Mission Director for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Katmandu. USAID has set up condolence books in the 14th Street lobby of the Ronald Reagan Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave. NW (south side of Pa. Ave.). This is a public area; no escort needed to enter. The books will be available for signing through Friday of this week. For more about the helicopter crash, and for a bio of Margaret, read here: http://www.usaid.gov/press/releases/2006/ps060925.html .
