Brandeis Magazine

Beri Gilfix, MA’66, P’97, writes, “Many of you will remember Charles McDew, who was a Lasker Fellow at Brandeis in spring 1963 and chairman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. His memoir, ‘Tell the Story,’ has been published on Amazon. I helped get the manuscript ready for publication after Charles’ sudden death in April 2018. It’s a great story, told with humor and insight.” “Genetic Drift,” a three-CD album of electronic music by Joel Gressel, has been released by Ravello. Other pieces by Joel can be heard at soundcloud.com/joel-gressel. Dennis Smith reports he and wife Sandy Kotzen Smith enjoyed “great laughs, memories and wine” at a Zoom cocktail party with Stephen Schwartz and wife Carla, Albert Shar and wife Cynthia, and Steven Stern and wife Helena.
