Fred Danker
Great professor!
I took one class with him at University of Massachusetts Boston on the Kennedys of Boston
He had more knowledge about this subject than anyone, as well as Boston politics and history.
I will never forget this passionate man, a true student and teacher of history and more.

Sorry for the late posting, but just seeing this today, Prof. Danker was a great and colorful teacher of a course I took with him at U Mass Boston, The Kennedy's of Boston, a subject which he had no equal to. Prof. Danker knew more about James Michael Curley, HoneyFitz and the history of Boston politics than anyone I ever met before or since. Charming man and great American! RIP Prof. Danker, will never be another like him. David Conn, POLSCI class of 1996 UMB

Condolences to the Danker family for your loss.
May the God of all comfort grant you peace as only He can.
