Family and friends of David S. Kaplan '82 have remembered him by establishing two endowments at the College.
David was shot and killed on June 6, when he apparently interrupted an altercation enroute to his Arlington, Va., apartment.
Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Golding, his aunt and uncle, have endowed the David S. Kaplan '82 Prize for students who want to participate in the College's Term Abroad in France.
The Congressional Quarterly, Inc., where David worked, and some of its employees have created a second endowment fund, with income to be used to support the College's Term in Washington. The Quarterly's tribute said:
“Dave grew up in the Boston suburbs. And despite a college career in upstate New York and a dozen years in Washington, Dave forever considered himself a Bostonian and was a fierce devotee of his hometown Boston Red Sox. Dave transferred that enthusiasm to the softball field, where he became CQ's beloved `Coach K'
“But if baseball was his passion, it never distracted from his consummate devotion to his vocation. Dave was one of the most meticulous, accurate and at times visionary political reporters in the history of CQ. In the pantheon of hardworking CQ people, his pedestal would have to be first.”
Memorial contributions may be directed to either fund.
