As noted in the fall Scope, Joan Eisner Garb died on Valentine’s Day after a long illness. We send condolences to her husband, Isaac, two daughters, a son, a granddaughter, and sister Gretchen Eisner Rachlin ’48. Tragically, Joan and Gret­chen’s brother, a Philadelphia physician, died of Parkinson’s just five months later.

We are also saddened by the passing of Clayton Williamson in April. One of the GI business majors in our midst, he went on to build a 40-year career in the lumber and construction industry. We send our sympathies to his family.

We extend condolences to the family of Anne Allardice McCourt-Lewis, who passed away in 2008. We remember Anne as a talented textiles and clothing major, who went on to distinguish herself as a professor of reading education and a textbook author.

Kristen Rupert, daughter of Virginia Carlson Rupert, informed me that her mother died peacefully at home in September. Kirsten and her family were happy that Virginia enjoyed a summer full of great memories, including a three-week vacation at their cottage in Friendship, ME, where she “ate her favorite meal of lobster and clams” and celebrated her 81st birthday. Our thoughts are with the family.
