As Yale’s chief research archivist and New Haven’s city historian, Judy has spent her career documenting and teaching Yale and Elm City history while making history herself as the longest-serving staf member in recent memory.

Judy has worked on acquisitions, donor relations, research and reference, and the projects she most loves—exhibits. “My favorites,” she says, “were the milestone anniversaries of Yale women, the 150th birthday of Emily Dickinson, Anne Morrow and Charles Lindbergh’s pioneering environmental work, and retrospectives of Yale and New Haven history.”

In addition to full-time responsibilities, Judy is a member of the team studying Yale and its slavery history, a project announced in 2020 by President Salovey and chaired by David Blight, Gilder Lehrman Center director. 60 years

Born in New York City, Judy moved to New Haven when she was four. The family lived in the Westville section, near the Yale Bowl, and she attended Hillhouse High School, which stood where Morse and Stiles colleges are today.

Margit Kaye Beinecke Library The year before Margit joined Yale, she emigrated from Germany. She had a sponsor in Florida, but when that did not work out, she went to stay with a friend in New York City. Margit and her friend traveled to New Jersey for a visit one weekend and Margit met her now late husband. They were married a year later and moved to New Haven where he knew librarians at Sterling Memorial Library. Her German language skills came in handy, and she was hired to work with German serials.

Margit had wanted to move to an English-speaking country ever since she was a child in a POW camp afer World War II when she heard British soldiers speaking. America had always promised a more lucrative life. Eventually, a job opened up in the map collection in Sterling, and she was encouraged to apply 55 years 55 years and was hired, learning under curator Alexander Vietor, who became her mentor. Since that day, Margit has worked in the Yale Map Collection, which moved to the Beinecke fve years ago.

45 years Angela grew up in West Haven living with her family above their grocery store West End Market. She likes to recall how she came to work at Yale: “As a 16-year-old with a car and no job, I was always approaching my parents for money. One day, I went to my mom, who was working the cash register, and asked for $20. The person she was checking out was my former Brownie leader Betsy (Tartagni) Jasiorkowski. My mom said, ‘Angela, you’ve got to get a job.’ Betsy asked if I was looking for a job. Mom said, ‘Angela isn’t, but I am looking for her.’ Betsy worked for Alvan Feinstein and hired me as a clerk typist.” Alvan Feinstein was director of the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program and Angela continued to work with him for 11 years. Today, working with Amy Justice, she is the program manager for the Veterans Aging Cohort Study, an ongoing longitudinal study of United States veterans with and Angela Consorte Internal Medicine without HIV infection. Angela feels extremely privileged to work with the best and brightest scholars both at Yale and beyond. What she fnds most inspiring? “Hands down the people. No one is The year was 1975. Kingman Brewster was Yale’s President; the insignifcant.” School of Management did not exist; and the Yale Center for British Art was under construction. That same year, a 16-year-old local high school sophomore, William Felder, Jr., started working part-time on weekends at what is now Grace Hopper dining hall.

45 years His father, William Felder, Sr., then executive chef in Trumbull College, got him a job in the kitchen washing pots and dishes, the same job he started with at Yale. William’s mother, Ida Mae, worked as a custodian at the Yale Child Study Center until her retirement in 2009. Currently, three brothers (Alan, Larry, and Bruce), one sister (Linda), and a nephew (Brandon) work at Yale. William notes that the Felder family has over 250 years of combined service. Almost a quarter of that service belongs to him with a full- time career that began in the dining halls, then included custodial services, the mailroom, and now physical plant. “My happiest memory at Yale is when I transferred to Physical Plant,” says William. “It meant a lot to me; I feel blessed to work here.” William Felder Physical Plant 16 45 years

Mary Ann came to the university in 1976 as the spouse of a student. They had the whole frst floor of a Victorian house on Whitney Avenue, where students were moving out just as they were inquiring about living space. Mary Ann’s frst job at Yale was in the Graduate School Financial Aid Office. She would later work in Human Resources, Therapeutic Radiology, the Chemistry Department on Mary Ann Moran Science Hill, and the Office of Development, where she has been Development for 24 years. Two memories top her list: “In 1995, my family and I volunteered to process IDs for the Special Olympics, and the university surprised us with tickets to the opening ceremony, which was amazing. And in 2007, I attended the Yale graduation of one of my international student workers as his ‘honorary mother.’” Mary Ann feels “very fortunate and proud” to serve on several university committees and to have “such interesting faculty, physicians, staf, and students as my colleagues and friends.” 17 Helen Rossik Yale Hospitality When the company Helen was working for closed, a friend told her about an opening in the business office of the Yale dining halls. She applied, got the job, and has worked for Yale Hospitality ever since, primarily in the Law School dining hall. “The students have always been a pleasure,” Helen says, “and I appreciate all who come into the dining hall.” Annual Commencement exercises are among her favorite memories, as was the renovation and expansion of the dining hall, which she found to be an “exciting time” because of the new menu of hot items, a salad-and-sandwich bar, and ready-to- go station. Helen cites a visit to the Law School by Hillary Clinton and two celebrations with the Red Sox World Series Championship Trophy as the most fun she has had at Yale. The sentiment that guides her is, “Be kind to each other.”

Steve works in General Building Maintenance (GBM), the frst shif at the School of Medicine, and is a member of Yale’s Joint University Stephen Senick Custodial Services Health and Safety Committee. He began at Yale as a part-time dishwasher in the Kline Biology Tower dining hall while attending Wilbur Cross high school—a job his mother helped him secure as

45 years she was a Yale dining hall employee for 30 years. Steve never stopped working Friday nights and weekends at Yale even when he went to Sacred Heart University, entered the banking business full-time for 13 years, became a member of the American Bankers Association, and received an advanced banking-specifc degree from the University of Oklahoma. Then came the time that small banks were getting bought up by large conglomerates nationwide and Steve decided it was time to make a career change. He applied to Yale full-time. “It was the best decision I ever made,” he says. “The GBMs are unique at Yale. Many of us have worked together for over 30 years. It is a wonderful group of people. I feel like we’ve grown up together. We are the frontline workers for building issues and deal directly with Yale departments.” 18 Mike says that one of the life lessons he has learned at Yale is that “hard work and determination defnitely pay of.” He fondly remembers when he passed the test to be in the trades-helper program because it gave him the opportunity to move up to a higher labor grade and become a tradesman. As a lead locksmith, Mike is currently responsible for the layout, setup, and installation of all locks at the School of Medicine and at Yale-leased properties along with the keying of new buildings and renovations. He also oversees the key-request service and the distribution of keys to the medical- campus community. Over the years, Mike has had the most fun at the annual summer picnics and holiday parties, which always included staf members’ families. He says a rule he lives by is, “Treat 45 years others the way you would like to be treated.”

55 Long-Service Recognition in 2020–2021

The Long-Service Recognition yearbook has been a staple (and a highlight) of the university’s recognition program, which turns 25 this year. Pandemic or no pandemic, this tradition carries on. However, due to safety concerns, we were not able to take new photographs of honorees celebrating 30–60 years of service. So, the portraits you see in the yearbook are from fve years ago. One plus is that they were black and white in 2016, but are now being published in color.

As for our 25-year honorees—who had no previous Long-Service photos—we attempted to take their photos safely outside on campus in the fall, but just as we were getting started, we were asked to stop due to a surge in COVID-19. This is the reason that some of our honorees have photos, but most do not.

We appreciate all Yale honorees, and it was our pleasure to feature the staf members you see here. Thank you and congratulations on your years of service!

And thank you to all Yale health care workers for all you have done!

The watercolor artwork present in the yearbook was painted by Yale senior Asher Lifin. Asher is a young artist currently based in New Haven. He will graduate from Yale in 2021 with a double major in visual art and cognitive science. He grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and from an early age became fascinated with the joys of observation and drawing. Lifin’s art explores themes of replication, the influence of flm and photography on painting and culture, and art history. These themes are executed through Lifin’s own unique methods that span precise oil paintings, loosely confgured swirls in drawing, and digital collage. From the President
