Terry passed away September 18, 1992.  No obituary is currently available.  We are still trying to locate one.

In 1981, he graduated from Carleton College, Phi Beta Kappa, with a BA in Russian Studies. Hall was a Thomas J. Watson fellow during 1981-1982, conducting field research in Zagreb, Croatia (Yugoslavia) and Stuttgart, Germany. He received an M.A. in Russian Studies at Indiana University in 1984 and returned there in 1986 to earn the PhD in Modern Russian and Balkan History (1990).

Hal taught several undergraduate level courses for the Indiana University History Department while working on his PhD. In Washington, Hal served the Atlantic Council of the United States as Acting Director, NATO Information Office, during 1985-1986 and the Citizens' Network for Foreign Affairs as Director of Programs from 1991-1992. Hal moved to Europe in 1992 and worked for Prognosis, a newspaper in Prague, Czech Republic and as Editor, Daily Report, for Radio Liberty in Munich, Germany.

During 1993 and 1994, Hal worked in Moscow, Russia and Almaty, Kazakhstan as a management consultant for U.S. and European corporations. In Nov. 1994, he moved to Sophia, Bulgaria, where he founded Enterprise Eastern Europe to provide management consulting and training services for clients that included Amoco Bulgaria, ProMobile, Sprint, Kraft Jacob Suchard and the U.S. Embassy Commercial Section. Following extensive travel in East Asia and Africa, Hal returned to the Washington area in 1997 and moved to Bloomington, Ind. in 1998 where he died. Hal was fluent in Russian, German, Bulgarian and Croatian and he was at ease in many different cultures because of his genuine interest in the lives of ordinary people. He moved among strangers and left them as friends all over the world.

A memorial service is planned for later this month in Bethesda, Md., where his sister resides. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in his name to the North Carolina Alliance for the Mentally Ill, NAMI North Carolina, 309 West Millbrook Rd., Suite 121, Raleigh,N.C. 27609-4305.

On October 9, 1999, our friend Janie Kohen Winter died of cancer, in her home. A few months earlier, Jane celebrated her 40^th birthday with a huge gathering of her family and friends, serving them a gourmet meal she'd prepared herself.

Janie was diagnosed four years ago.  Despite her struggles with surgeries and chemotherapy, Janie focused on the present and enjoyed each day of her life. Though the odds were not in her favor, Jane hoped to manage her cancer, and if she couldn't "beat it", to live with it for as many years as possible. For a time she was successful. Janie's demeanor has always been gentle and kind, but beneath her sweetness, she was remarkably gutsy. Her drive to live each day with love, humor and joy was tremendous.

Jane graduated from Carleton as an English major.  She was a staff writer for The Carletonian.  She was also the pitcher of the Frustrated Ballerinas wombat team in all of their four winning seasons.  Jane continued her education at Northwestern University's Medill School, earning an MS in Journalism.  She then married Art Winter and moved with him to Singapore for two years, working as a writer and editor. Jane returned to Evanston, Illinois to raise her family and work in writing and publishing.

Jane is the author of four books for children about foreign cultures.  She also wrote Culture Shock! The South - part of a series on lifestyles and customs of countries and regions.  Janie's writing was infused with her honest, straightforward style and her sharp wit.  In the last years of her life, she worked on a book called Only in Miami Beach, an extremely funny memoir about growing up in Miami Beach in the 1970's.

While Janie was proud of her published works, her greatest joy was being a loving mother to her girls, Emma (12), Molly (10) and Claire (6).  Janie was an exceptional mom?she put her heart and soul into giving her children love, security and a strong sense of themselves.  Every year, one of the girl's best gifts was to spend an entire day and night alone with their mom. She always maintained that the key to being a really good mom was to know how to have fun.

Janie was a loyal friend.  We appreciated her mix of empathy for those she loved, and humor and sarcasm over life's quirks and obstacles.  She loved good friends, good books and good food.  Janie was the kind of cook who could make anything taste good; from a tuna sandwich with potato chips to curry dishes she learned to make while traveling in the Far East.  She did things simply, and she did them beautifully.

Janie leaves her three daughters, her sisters, Amy Cohn and Elizabeth Martinez, and her parents, Helen and Rolly Kohen, who cared for her at home until the last moment of her life.  She also leaves her husband, her brothers-in-law, her nephews and nieces, and a community of friends from Evanston, her home town of Miami Beach and from Carleton.

Janie walked in beauty and lived with an abundance of warmth, grace, and love.

In Memoriam
Trish Woodbury: Longtime employee, cherished colleague and friend

The university community lost a dear friend and colleague on April 15, 2004, when Patricia Woodbury, academic counselor for the Graduate School and a UNH employee for 20 years, died after a sudden illness.  Trish loved photography and UNH. Here one of her photos reflects both passions.

She was a 1977 graduate of Concord High School and attended one year at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. She received her bachelor's in classics and English Magna Cum Laude as well as her master's in English literature from UNH. She was also pursuing a master's in history.

She taught Latin at Oyster River High School and at UNH. She regularly attended activities and meetings of the New Hampshire
Classical Association and the Classical Association of New England. She was a great friend and supporter of classics. As a colleague in the classics said of her, "She loved to have the opportunity to teach and pass on to others her love of Latin and classical antiquity. We considered ourselves fortunate because we were able to reply upon her for moral and practical support."

During her career at UNH, she also worked in the Registrar's Office and the CIS Training Center. For nearly 20 years, she was a caregiver for developmentally disabled adults at the Great Bay School and Training Center. She regularly volunteered for the Special Olympics.

If you were a graduate student or a graduate program coordinator at UNH, you probably knew Trish. In her capacity as an academic counselor, she helped many students and faculty navigate the paperwork process inherent in attaining an advanced degree. As one graduate student said, "I know I cried on her shoulder more than once about the whole dissertation thing, and in the end, she always got me to laugh, and to realize that it was more about the process than my shortcomings."

Trish was an avid photographer. Examples of her photos were featured on the cover of the Student Rights, Rules and Responsibilities booklet since 1995 and the Campus Safety, Alcohol & Illegal Drugs brochure since 1999. One of the memorable things about her was her enormously varied interests. As a colleague said, "I thought about the horseback riding (and the spills) and learning to ride a motorcycle just this year. What always struck me was that love of learning." She was also known for her calligraphy-she often was called upon to fill in certificates and awards for students by academic departments; embroidery-she frequently won blue ribbons for her work at the Deerfield Fair; and gardening-many of her friends find solace in the fact that they have plants in their gardens that Trish shared from hers.

If you have photos of pets in your office, you may have heard one of Trish's "cute animal stories." She was well known for her love of animals. As one of her friends said, "She had compassion for every stray cat and bunny and wild bird." Another friend related, "When your day starts off with an e-mail about foals cautiously moving away from Mom, you were on Trish's mailing list."

She was a valued and supportive colleague for many at UNH. When most  of us were taking time off between Christmas and New Year's, Trish was volunteering her time to help staff in the Registrar's Office process grades. One grateful colleague related, "I wouldn't have made it in my job, especially the first month, if not for Trish.

She helped, supported, educated, commiserated, and laughed with so many people here." Another colleague recalled Trish's ability to listen: "She always gave great reactions to things you were talking about and showed genuine interest in even the smallest things. She made you feel special because of the way she would focus her attention on you."

We have lost a dear friend and colleague. One who was quiet and unassuming, but who touched many because of her big heart, the concern she expressed for others, her dry sense of humor, her love of learning and of all things natural, and her offbeat way of looking at the world. It is most fitting to find comfort in the words of one of Trish's favorites, Aristotle:

"Even when the loss of (her) presence gives us pain, still a certain pleasure arises in our mourning and lamentation; for pain is
felt at the loss of the beloved, but pleasure in remembering (her), as it were, seeing (her) as (she) lived and moved."

The UNH community is invited to contribute in memory of Patricia F. Woodbury to the UNH Foundation, 9 Edgewood Road, Durham, NH 03824 or at www.foundation.unh.edu.

Memorial services will be held Sunday, April 25 at 2 p.m. in the Church St. Chapel at the Bennett Funeral Home, 209 N. Main St.,
Concord.

From the archives of the Paleolimnology Forum:

Geoffrey O. Seltzer, 45, of Syracuse, died on January 15, 2005 at home after an 18 month battle with cancer.  Born in Minneapolis, MN to George and Miriam Seltzer, he was an Alumni Associate Professor in the Earth Science Department at Syracuse University where he had worked for the past 11 years.  Geoff achieved success through his scientific work in the tropical Andes, through his warm and sustaining mentoring of many graduate students and post-doctorates, and through his leadership in the Vice Chancellor's environmental spire.  His scholarly priority was understanding the dynamics of ice caps and high lakes in tropical systems.  His work varied from studying global climate change in the geological past to studying future climate change.  He developed an internationally respected program in paleoclimatological research in the Andes, and he and his colleagues and students were recently the first team to explore the long-term climate record of Lake Titicaca on the border between Peru and Bolivia.

Geoffrey is survived by his wife, Katie Reed; father, George Seltzer of Minneapolis; brothers Jonathan and Matthew of Minneapolis and Ethan of Portland Oregon and their families.  He was a valued member of every community he was a part of and will be missed.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 29th at 11:00 a.m. in Setnor Auditorium, Crouse College, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York 13244.

In lieu of flowers contributions can be made to:  The Geoffrey Seltzer Fund, YMCA Camp Widjiwagan, 2125 East Hennepin Avenue, Suite 150, Minneapolis MN 55413.

Following is an additional tribute to Geoffrey sent to Prof. Shelby Boardman by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of Syracuse University

Dear Colleagues,

I write with much sorrow to let you know that our accomplished colleague and gentle friend Geoffrey Seltzer (Earth Sciences) died peacefully early this morning, following an eighteen-month battle with cancer. Though a very young colleague, Geoff achieved tremendous things through his scientific work in the tropical Andes, through his warm and sustaining mentoring of many graduate students and postdocs, and through his leadership in the Vice Chancellor's environmental spire. Geoff's scholarly priority was understanding the dynamics of ice caps and high lakes in tropical systems. He cared deeply about understanding the fundamental science of these systems?for instance, were tropical ice systems synchronous or diachronous in relation to the more well established temperate and polar ice sheet advances and retreats? A second question that motivated him was understanding what influence the marine El Nino events had on the tropical high Andean systems.

In his science, Geoff and his group produced discoveries that will be viewed as important in history of science, not only of the Andes but of glacial and lacustrine systems and more generally. One powerful motivation for Geoff was his understanding that water supplies for many peoples in South America derive from the glacial ice and the lakes that he and his group were studying. Particularly noteworthy was Geoff's gift for gentle and personable but strong leadership of expeditionary science to these remote, physically challenging regions. He and his group of international expedition to produce a long-term climate record of long-term climate change in the Lake Titicaca, on the border between Peru and Bolivia. Geoff, remarkably, managed to finish that work despite the arduous fight with cancer.

Geoff cared so deeply about the quality and the future of the College, and indeed spoke to me about this only days ago. His family asks me to thank you for such warm and steadfast support during his time of illness, and they indicate that a service will be held on campus in approximately two weeks.
