In Memoriam

The Fisher community lost several of its brightest stars in the past year.

“This is very sad news. John was one of my favorite instructors. He was devoted and willing to go the extra mile to help anyone who requested his assistance.”

– Antonio Vieira ‘08

“John was an inspiration and a mentor. He helped me through so much here at Fisher. I dedicate my degree to him.”

– Sally Wood ‘09

“I am deeply saddened by John’s passing. I respected John very much and really enjoyed working with him. His passion for Fisher College was evident every time I spoke to him. He was always looking for new ways to promote the College. We have lost a great man.”

– David Jenkins ‘05

Dr. Natalie T. Taylor provided

wisdom and encouragement for 28 years as a Trustee of the College. Natalie was Professor Emerita in the Entrepreneurship Center at Babson College, where she taught for 26 years. She was the first professor to design and teach courses in Social Entrepreneurship. Babson’s highly- ranked MBA program is testament to her insights and her status as an icon in the field. Roy Muir, a

colleague of Natalie’s on the Board of Trustees, said, “I instantly developed an enormous admiration and respect for Natalie. She was bright, thoughtful, and caring. She will be so very much missed in our community.” Fisher Trustee Michael Bell wrote, “I will fondly remember Natalie for her kindness, compassion, and concern for the well being of the students. I will miss her.”

Marjorie Hare Bright was

the executive secretary to President Sanford L. Fisher for many years. Recalling Marjorie, Dr. Scott A. Fisher ’51 said, “She sat at the desk under the 118 staircase, took dictation, and did general

secretarial work – with the usual hundred side tasks. She was a lovely woman, faithful to the College, and a credit to her family.”

John “Jack” Fitzgerald,

a security officer at Fisher for the last 16 years, passed away just prior to publication of this issue. In a note to the Fisher community, President McGovern wrote, “Jack served the College admirably. I will miss him – and his

insightful Red Sox comments. The entire Fisher community is saddened by this news.”
