I’m sad to report the passing of another APHS 65 classmate, Gwenn (Kuskin) Feldman passed away on the morning of September 12, 2018. Here is the information received through Phyllis Salowe-Kaye from Gwenn’s daughter Emily:

“It is with deep sadness that I share the news that my mom, Gwenn Feldman, passed away this morning.  She died peacefully while sleeping and was unafraid, and I am relieved that she no longer has to struggle.  Though small in stature, Gwenn was a big presence, and it will be a giant loss for those of us who loved her.

In lieu of flowers, Gwenn wished for donations to be made to JAFCO, an organization committed to providing adoptive homes for children in need of a family.  This seems a fitting choice for such a committed mother herself.”
