have missed our mini-reunion this past summer and is looking forward to more opportunities to get together and Reunion 2015! I am saddened to report that David
Yergan, theater manager and technical director for the Skidmore Theater Depart- ment, passed away suddenly in Sep- tember. Barry Kulick, his best friend since freshman year, shared this tribute: “Well, David, you’ve gone and broken my heart. Since our first meeting in Septem - ber of 1976, your friendship has been one of the consistent and seemingly endless fountains of joy in my life. As long as I’ve got the power of memory, your presence in my life will continue to enrich and delight me. For those years that I was for- tunate enough to know you, I will remain truly thankful. I’ll just have to content myself with memories of your skills, wit, dedication, generosity, love, and friend- ship. I’ll see you in my dreams.” We extend our condolences to David’s family and friends. (See Campus News story in this Scope.) PERI SNYDERMAN P.O. BOX 122 CHESTER, NY 10918-0122
