Walter Sigmund Helly

My academic advisor . Bff. So many fond memories

I saw Walter regularly but very briefly because Dorothy generously hosted the meetings of the Women Writing Women's Lives steering committee until the age of Zoom. While I didn't know him except to say hello, I liked his kind, handsome face very much and was awed by his antique camera collection, which was on display in the apartment; I felt not only that such an interest indicated a keen scientific mind but an awareness and appreciation of the collective history those cameras must represent....

My condolences to the family.
I am glad to have met him, though only once.

It was with sadness that I recently received notification of your husband and our valued alumnus Walter's passing. I am writing to extend my deepest sympathy on behalf of the New York University Tandon School of Engineering and the Polytechnic Alumni Association.

He will be missed by all those whose lives he touched. Again, please accept my condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Jelena Kovaevi
