ANNOUNCEMENTS

DR. ROBERT DORNISH
It is with sincere condolences that I inform you that Dr. Bob Dornish, emeriti professor, passed away Friday, Nov. 29. Dornish taught for more than 28 years in the Department of Elementary Education, beginning in 1969, instilling a great love of children’s literature into the lives and classrooms of hundreds of in-service teachers and teacher candidates. During his life, he collected a significant collection of children's literature which he began donating to the Rohrbach Library around 2001, creating the J. Robert and Alice R. Dornish Collection. Services will be held Friday, Dec. 6, at the Finegan Funeral Home, Easton. Condolences can be sent to Bob’s wife, Alice Dornish, 1110 Gaspar Ave., Bethlehem, PA 18017. http://www.fineganfh.com/dr.-j.-robert-dornish
