Irvin Nathan, Former DC Attorney General, Dies at 83 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For Irvin Nathan, public service was not an abstract ideal. His wife, Judy Walter, said he used to describe government work as the time when he was “wearing a white hat” — a chance to put his legal skills to work for the public.

Dr. Herbert Tanenbaum, Pioneer in Washington Cardiology, Dies at 98 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Dr. Herbert Tanenbaum helped establish Washington, D.C.’s first cardiac catheterization laboratory, the equipment cardiologists take for granted did not exist. Tanenbaum needed a wire thin and flexible enough to guide a catheter through an artery.

When it was Dana’s turn to become a patient, she refused to go until the office was accessible to her wheelchair.

Susan Linsky, Longtime DC Civic Leader and Organizer, Dies at 77 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Susan Linsky’s funeral procession passed Nationals Park in Washington, the bus carrying family and friends got caught in traffic near the stadium. People on the bus looked toward the ballpark and began to applaud. For her family, the moment reflected Linsky’s impact across Washington. She had helped build support for bringing Major League Baseball back to the city. Her civic work also touched schools, playgrounds, affordable housing and neighborhood development. Linsky died on Aug. 8 at her
