Milne Faculty and Staff Directory

This list of is far from complete, so . . . please provide the names of any other
faculty or staff members (junior and senior high school) that you remember and send
them to Judy Koblintz Madnick so they can be added to our list. Thanks to the
UAlbany archivist, Geoff Williams, who has been a big help with this project.

Do you have an appropriate short description of a
faculty or staff member that you would like to provide?
or
Would you be interested in participating in a project to add
biographical information for faculty or staff members?
If so, please contact Judy Koblintz Madnick with your choice of
name(s) so that we don't duplicate efforts. (Remember our
English-class rule: Don't plagiarize!) Thanks to
Doris Markowitz Greenberg, '57, for suggesting this project!

Note: Principals are listed chronologically.
Other faculty members are listed alphabetically.
