The Class of 1968 mourns the untimely death of our dear “gentle giant,” Stephen “Goliath” Goldman, P’04. We will miss him greatly and are so glad those of us who attended the 50th Reunion in June were able to spend time with him.
After more than 30 years as a faculty member, Naomi Baron officially became professor emerita of linguistics at American University in August. There is, however, no rocking chair in sight. In November, she was a visiting scholar at the University of Stavanger, in Norway. This spring, she is teaching at the University of Modena, in Italy. Her most recent book is “Words Onscreen: The Fate of Reading in a Digital World.” Jack Bierig has joined Schiff Hardin as counsel in the firm’s litigation and dispute-resolution practice group in Chicago. His clients include professional societies, trade associations, and accreditation and certification organizations. After a long career focused on women’s reproductive health, Susan Dickler remains active with the Ms. Foundation for Women, most recently as board chair. Susan and her second husband, a psychologist-turned-playwright, live in New York City and on Martha’s Vineyard. She recently welcomed her first grandchild. Harris Gleckman, MA’77, PhD’82, who lives just north of Portland, Maine, is the author of “Multistakeholder Governance and Democracy,” published last year by Routledge. An expert in international economic and environmental negotiations, he helped the United Nations Human Rights Council create a process for addressing human rights violations by transnational corporations and other businesses. After 24 years in the Massachusetts legislature, Jay Kaufman, MA’73, is now fully engaged in his nonprofit startup, Beacon Leadership Collaborative, devoted to training passionate public-sector leaders and improving the culture of public leadership. Ron Kronish, P’99, and wife Amy celebrated the birth of their sixth grandchild, Erez Nevo, born to Rabbi Dahlia Kronish ’99 and Joshua Maudlin on Oct. 3 in New York City. Ron, who blogs for The Times of Israel, invites classmates to contact him when they visit Israel. Judith Sachs, a certified Dance for Parkinson’s Disease teacher, has been awarded a Penn Medicine grant to conduct a movement workshop in Philadelphia for couples dealing with Parkinson’s disease, to evaluate the possibility of teaching nondancers dance techniques for shifting weight, changing position and providing maneuvering touch.
