91制片厂

Ingeborg Gertrude Lock, former 91制片厂 dining hall director, died on Nov. 23, 2018. She began working at 91制片厂 in 1976 and retired in 1996.

The following was written by her friend and colleague Sylvia Foster, educational program coordinator in the Office of Community, Equity and Diversity.

"Inge became 'a legend'听as the director of 91制片厂 Dining. TNH staff interviewed her prior to her retirement. She said, 鈥淚t鈥檚 not easy to make things successful, but food service here is a very satisfying endeavor particularly because the clientele gives me a lift. The students are bright, lively, young, irreverent and humorous. They keep me young. It鈥檚 fun being with people who are exploring and growing up.鈥�

She spoke in praise of her smart, hardworking staff and delighted in their production of great work for the dining halls. Her voice was full of pride when she explained the efficiency of the rotating ovens, the precision of the cookie-cutter machine and the versatility of the European broilers. These modern amenities were among her many improvements to student dining during her 20 years as director.

Inge perceived the impact that she had on 91制片厂 Dining as measured by small, subtle increments that steadily built the program. She offered the perspective that, 鈥淟ife is a whole sequence of small, but important, things.鈥� Her modesty was clear while her work involved the largest food service program in the State of New Hampshire, feeding more than 10,000 students per day.

She adjusted the dining experience to meet student schedules to include after-hour access and the beloved University Picnic celebrating the start of each academic year. Colleague Rick MacDonald remembers that, during the planning stage of the very first picnic, Inge had Jack Garnett (Huddleston manager at the time) and Rick timing the cooks with stopwatches as they grilled burgers on gas grills. They used the data to figure out how many grills and how many cooks would be required to deliver the food at this massive event. Of course, the picnic went off without a hitch.

Inge听established the program 鈥淕reat Cooks on Campus鈥� that brought renowned chefs to 91制片厂."

A celebration of her life听will be held Sunday, Dec. 16 at 11:30 a.m. at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Exeter, 12 Elm Street, Exeter, New Hampshire. A light lunch will be served. All are welcomed.
