Thanks to Barbara Z - just before the reunion, she relentlessly tried to track down Sidney Nachman, knowing only that long ago he was teaching for a NY area college. She made lots of phone calls and left lots of messages ... and voila, Sid called her back last week! A little late, but better late than never!
Sid supplied a couple of recent pictures, and a set of memories for all of us to share - Thanks!
