Dear ARLIS members:
Celine Palatsky, recently retired from the Watson Library, died early
this morning. She was a valued member of the Watson Library staff for
29 years. Many of us saw her at the Dec. 8 ARLIS/NY Holiday Party where
she was her remarkably perky self despite her illness of the past
several months. Nearly all of us remember her very regular presence at
annual ARLIS conferences. We also remember her spirit and dedication to
our profession, as well as her enormous energy, charm and curiosity
about all things. We will miss her.
A service will be held at Riverside Chapel on Friday, Dec. 17 at noon.
The Chapel is at 180 W. 76th St., New York, NY.
Personal condolences may be addressed to Celine's sister, Nina Bassman
at 39-65 52nd St., Woodside, NY 11377. Contributions may be made to any
organization which is involved in archiving Holocaust-related materials,
or to the Celine Palatsky Memorial Book Fund at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art (checks to be made out to the Museum, sent to the Watson Library
and earmarked for this special fund).
