Abstract
Richard "Bud" Meade worked in Human Resources at SUNY Brockport from 1968-2000. He knew many of our faculty and staff and his collected writing are a remarkable resource for information about emeriti faculty.
Description
In retirement Bud Meade began to circulate an email newsletter, named "Update", which passed on stories and news about various college retirees. This remarkable, ongoing project has captured a tremendous amount of information about those who built the college over 50 years. This collection is searchable and covers from 2001 to August 2020.
“Remembering” consists of memorial tributes written for over 500 SUNY Brockport emeriti, retirees and friends, extracted from the "Updates" newsletter. Entries cover those who passed away from January 2, 2001 through August 29, 2020 plus a few stories from earlier years. Tributes were collected from obituary information if available, and personal reminiscences from the author and others. This collection is done by date, not alphabetically. Use the index of names to find entries in the book.
The Supplement to Remembering is a list of deaths of people that Bud likely would have reported in "Update" had he not stopped doing the newsletter on August 31, 2020. It includes emeriti and also some relatives of emeriti and other Brockport people who were not employed at the College/University but were known to many employees. The supplement lists names alphabetically of those passing from August 31, 2020 through September 9, 2024.
