George Kirschner

It's really beautiful rereading some of the remembrances - and there are so many! - of George that people wrote ten years ago. Its wonderful to see a vivid personality so vividly alive in so many minds. How great to be able to do so much for so many people and how great to have had somebody like George in your life. I remember 13 and 17, and the years in between, a lot more viscerally than most near-decades in my life. My daughter is almost 18 now. It's hard to step back. But to remember...

George, your love shines forever in our lives. Always, you're there when I'm teaching class. And though the language is foreign, the subject different, perhaps your light reaches some of the students too, and you live on.

George was my best teacher at Walden; you knew he cared. I still remember my 11th grade History of American Labor class with him as if it were yesterday. What a lovely and kind devoted man. Love, Eyton Soltes, San Diego, CA www.bodymindwellnesscenter.com

To Barbara Lee Walden -- absolutely.
And to all the students who went on our weekend with George to spend time with Howard Zinn -- what a great pair they are.

George and Howard Zinn are at the great big protest in the sky. Barbara Lee Walden '84

I miss George today, as Howard Zinn passed away last night, and I feel that I lost a relative, as we were related to Howard through George. Love to all, Joan Bragar, '72

George, you touched all our lives. You gave history dimension and really brought it to life. I think of you often, even after all these years. Thank You! Gerda Swedowsky Walden '74

Alumni such as myself, Roy John Smith, Walden'73, Harvard'80 and NYU School of Law'84 and Ramon Morales, Walden'72, Harvard'76 were born and raised in public housing developments while blessed to have George as a teacher, mentor and friend. Palante
