In Memoriam
On rare occasions a person passes this way whose intelligence and generosity of spirit serve as a beacon to guide others in their chosen task. Such a person was Professor Lawrence Lidsky; and the task was the creation and continuation of the Faculty Newsletter.
With a grace uncommon in today's often all-too-impersonal world, Larry devoted extraordinary time and effort not only to his teaching and research, but to the myriad issues and concerns related to our fledgling publication: raising funds, establishing credibility, convincing colleagues to participate. From its inception, Larry served as the Newsletter's Faculty Liaison to the administration, and in that capacity was the person most responsible for its eventual legitimization and stabilization. Simply put, without his efforts the Newsletter would not have survived.
The passing of a colleague and friend is always difficult for those left behind. Larry Lidsky is greatly missed by all of us who had the good fortune to have known and worked with him.
