As one year gives way to the next, GBH would like to remember members of the GBH family whose deaths we sadly marked in 2020.

Helen managed the old Honeywell computer system which housed the station’s IT department — accounting and fund raising data systems.

Nina was a resident of Needham for 32 years and had worked as a Production Secretary for WGBH TV in Boston for many years.

His family and close friends will always remember his serious demeanor and fierce intellect, leavened by a genuine underlying personal warmth and wry sense of humor.

During some four decades of teaching at Harvard, Ms. Mallardi helped pioneer the recognition of dance as an academic discipline at universities nationally, where before the pursuit had been almost solely the province of conservatories and schools for the performing arts.

GBH notes with sadness the passing of former colleague Vladimir Stefanovic. Vlad died unexpectedly on Sat, 9/19. He was 55.

She was an integral member of the MASTERPIECE family, including 15 years as the host of MYSTERY!, where her elegant introductions made an indelible impression on U.S. audiences.

“According to Sylvia Davis, the station’s success results from an atmosphere that fosters innovation, combined with an ambitious fund‐rising arm. ‘People are able to shape themselves here.’”
