Leonard Daniel Goodis ’49

"Goodis" was born on June 6, 1928, in Philadelphia, and came to us from Bridgeton H.S. in New Jersey, where he was involved with their publication, dramatics and debating activities. He was coeditor of their yearbook, and salutatorian of his class.

At Princeton he majored in philosophy, and waited on tables at Commons. Following graduation, he studied at the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, and the Pennsylvania and Yale graduate schools. At our 10th reunion he was working for teacher's certification at Temple U. in Philadelphia, with the expectation of teaching philosophy and psychology. He lived in that city for some years thereafter.

By our 25th reunion, the university had lost track of him. He had been estranged from his family, and we have heard had been hospitalized for psychiatric reasons. A distant relative knows that Leonard has passed on, and estimates the year of death as 1991.

To those who knew Leonard we express our sincere sympathy.
