In Memoriam
CTAS is deeply saddened by the passing of two people who were
invaluable to CTAS, Lillian Rothman and Charna Binder.
Lillian was a remarkable person. She was the heart and soul of the
Trip Committee. We depended on her for everything—pricing, scheduling,
buses. She took on all the tough calls and got amazing results with
her quiet persuasiveness. Her judgement was impeccable.
Charna wore many hats at CTAS: In-Person Registration Guru,
phone responder, dance instructor liaison. Along with her husband,
Nort, she was the editor of our catalog for many years. She was a regular
fixture in the office, always ready to step in and help out.
Most of all she was a lovely person, sweet and unassuming.
