In Memoriam: Henriette Judels Rattner

Beloved Music & Art teacher Henriette Judels Rattner passed away at home
in New York City on May 6 at the age of 100.  A founding M&A teacher, she was the widow of M&A music teacher, David Rattner.  She is survived by her daughter, Nina Rattner Gelbart (M&A '64), son-in-law Bill, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as the hundreds of M&Aers who have kept up with her for all these many years.  Ms. Rattner taught French (and occasionally Spanish and art) from 1936 until 1972. She will be greatly missed.
