Abstract

In Memoriamhe and his wife, Ellen, were named National Parents of the Year by the Association of the Severely Handicapped. Don's activism-always ardent and constructive-extended into several areas of social concernsports, conservation, water pollution, Democratic party politics, among others. He taught himself to become an expert wind-surfer, and loved many water sports, both as an observer and a participant.Yet Don will not be remembered most for his social activism or his many academic accomplishments. It will be for his status as a man, a most humane and loving person.Certainly not least, Don Hadwiger's death was the cause of much anguish and sadness to his colleagues in the Department of Political Science, and those of us elsewhere. He was a splendid colleague, mentor and friend; to say that he is already greatly missed would be a grievous understatement. His passing brought tears; his life brought us joy.
