Martha Dunn, Cohort 1

It was the summer of 1991 and 13 people came together to launch the beginning of Tim's dream--the Master's in Philanthropy program. Tim's ready smile, calm demeanor, passion for philanthropy will long be remembered by me as what made Tim so special in the world of education/philanthropy. His use of the "red pen" in editing papers is what drew me to want to know and learn more from such a person! For me, 1991 was the beginning of a relationship with Tim as a mentor, colleague and friend.Tim not only touched my life but was a force in bringing change to the organizations for which I worked: Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, Bancroft NeuroHealth, St. Mary Medical Center, and the Visiting Nurse Association of Mercer County. He left his mark and it will always be remembered.His smile, the twinkle in his eye and his deep passion for life will always remain a part of me.To Barbara, Sarah and Jesse, I send special prayers and love to each of you and end with a phrase from "Les Miz": To love another person is to see the face of God. May God continue to touch and heal you during the days ahead.
