David Shuldiner (1949-2002)

The sudden passing of Connecticut-based folklorist David Shuldiner on January 3, 2002, was mourned by colleagues, friends, family, and loved ones whom he had graced with his wit, intelligence, generosity, and care. Shuldiner will be remembered for his work to develop public programs and publications promoting vitality, creativity, and well-being among the aged. He will be known as well for his lifelong research [End Page 97] and evolving public presentations on oral history and political and occupational folklife among Jewish leftists in this country. While he inspired many through his work and his ideas, it was his genuine warmth, curiousity, and kindness that endeared many people to him and for which he will be especially missed
