Stanford lost a long-time friend when Richard J. Newberger passed away at the age of 91 this December. We will all remember him as a gracious gentleman. He spent most of his life in Palo Alto living on Sand Hill Road across from the University and working at the Stanford Business School and Blood Bank. Business School students will remember him as the librarian who knew their names when they arrived for the first time at the library because he would memorize the new student names prior to the start of fall classes. He is survived by his two sisters, Caroline and Jane, who live in Seattle, and two nephews and a niece: Dan Canafax of Half Moon Bay, Alan Freyd of Seattle and Susy Jones of Anchorage. He will be with his parents at Hills of Eternity cemetery in Seattle.
