Members of the Bertrand Russell Society were saddened to learn that Dr. David S. Goldman, a practicing psychiatrist in New York City for 48 years, passed away on February 3rd, 2024. Born on February 24th, 1938, he was 85. His wife was Amy Beth Goldman (nee Ziegler). His family asks that contributions be made to a charity of the donor’s choice.
David certainly led the way with that last request. He leaves an impressive array of charitable contributions from his estate, including a generous bequest to the Bertrand Russell Society, which is an enormous boon to our mission of promoting the causes that Russell championed, promoting interest in the life and work of Russell, and bringing together persons interested in the same.
In memory of David, the board of the Bertrand Russell Society voted unanimously to rename our Student Essay Prize the David S. Goldman Student Essay Prize. Our heartfelt condolences go to David’s family.
