I am very sad to report that Rob Selden, partner of Steve Siegel (Director of Library and Archives, 92nd Street Y), passed away yesterday. Rob and Steve were life partners for 29 years. Rob studied architecture at Cooper Union and art history at Queens College. His interesting career included positions in the classical music management and publicity worlds, followed by a technology job at the New York City Department of Environmental Protection. The last 15 years of his working life were with law firms as manager of technology. Rob was diagnosed in late 2004 with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, a rare form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He took on the challenge of fighting his illness with the same intensity that he applied to his numerous and varied interests. The funeral will be at Plaza Jewish Community Chapel, 630 Amsterdam Avenue at West 91st Street, at 1:00pm on Wednesday, July 16th. Burial will be in New Jersey. Steve and Rob's family are arranging to receive visitors on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Please contact me if you would like to have that information when it becomes available. In sorrow, Lynn ================== Lynn Feinman, Librarian 92nd Street Y 1395 Lexington Avenue New York NY 10128 212.415.5543 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==================
