I was sorry to hear of Joel Kern Handelman's death. I remember her fondly when we were both in summer school at Newcomb College in the summer of 1957. She and I studied together in the fall of that year and took many of the same course at Newcomb. Sincerely, Diane Lassen Rubin

I was so sorry to hear of Joel's death. She was a fighter to the end. Joel was my daughter's Sunday School teacher at Touro, and a light in the Jewish Community.
