50 years 4 50 years Lee Heston |Pediatrics Infectious Diseases Lee Heston, research associate, Pediatrics Infectious Diseases, has been growing cells in Yale labs for 50 years. Fresh out of Goucher College, she came back to her home state and was hired by Dr. Dorothy Horstmann, a noted epidemiologist who became the frst woman at the School of Medicine to earn tenure as a full professor. When Horstman recruited Dr. George Miller to her team, Miller asked Lee to conduct research for him and she has been supporting his world- renowned work on the Epstein-Barr (EB) Virus, Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus, and Tumor virology ever since.

Lee is a local girl who made good in the STEM feld long before the term even existed. Her parents met at Hillhouse High School and her father received a scholarship to Yale while her mom went of to college and then to the Yale 50 years 50 years School of Public Health. She likes to tell the story of how her father had many jobs on campus including delivering dry cleaning to fellow students through the university’s underground steam tunnels. Afer the war, her parents settled in New Haven, then in Hamden. Lee has memories of swimming lessons in Payne Whitney Gym, the Peabody Museum, “fabulous” Woolsey Hall, and the Art Gallery.

Once a staf member at Yale, Lee eventually lived close enough to walk to work Dr. Miller says that “Lee has been a major contributor to our and experienced once again all that Yale has to ofer, including free concerts and lab’s work identifying a viral protein that mediates a switch for student recitals. Like many of her colleagues all over campus, she ofen made her the EB virus to move from a resting state, latency, to a state of way to the Old Campus area to witness Commencement and vividly remembers active replication. Lee is a truly talented experimentalist whose one exciting scene: “There I was watching the parade, and I saw a very dapper- work has shed light on a fundamental problem in virology.” looking gentleman in cap and gown striding down Elm Street when a man next When Lee looks out over her fve decades at Yale, she says, to me yelled out, ‘That’s Duke Ellington!’ And wouldn’t you know, the Duke “I always fnd as the years go by that just practicing a little came right over and shook this man’s hand. Afer Mr. Ellington received his gratitude every day is something that gets me through a lot honorary degree, he said into the microphone, ‘Take the A Train,’ and the crowd of things.” went wild, clapping endlessly and standing on their seats. It was such a joyous moment.”

Lee likes to point out that the one thing that has not changed in 50 years is that she is still growing cells. While modest about her contribution to infectious disease research, she is pleased that one particular “cell ” that she helped develop was used not only by the Miller Lab, but also other universities.

5 6 50 years Lee Petrowski |Yale Cashiering Medicine, Clinical “Working hard is very central to my well-being,” says Lee Petrowski, a fnancial assistant in Clinical Cashiering at Yale Medicine. “The value of hard work was instilled in me by my parents; my mother woke up at three o’clock in the morning, every morning, to walk to work, even in the snow, so she wouldn’t miss a day. When you strive to work hard, everything afer that is a reward.”

Lee spent most of her Yale career in the Child Study Center, with the last 11 years in her current position. A summer job at Yale in Accounts Payable, post–Hillhouse High School, became her frst full-time job—she needed to buy a car, so she attended college at night. “At the time,” recalls Lee, “I fgured I would only stay a couple of years to appease my parents, who wanted me to work at Yale for the good benefts, but lo and behold, here I am 50 years later. And I couldn’t 50 years 50 years be happier.”

Today Lee’s work centers on processing all the payments that come through Clinical Cashiering and taking care of the main desk. “We are so lucky to have Lee,” says supervisor Joel Ball, “she is our counselor, our compass, always contemporary with all our new methods and systems, and always a friendly face for our visitors.”

Both of Lee’s parents worked in Yale dining halls. She remembers riding her most recently was the party Joel threw to celebrate her 50 years bicycle to where her mom was a baker in one of the colleges and feasting on at Yale. “Joel outdid herself. She had an open house. She had lefover desserts and iced tea. Born at Yale New Haven Hospital, Lee grew up on trivia. We had everything. Everybody came in. Everybody Mechanic Street until she was fve years old and then at various other New Haven congratulated me. It was like a big family. And I will never locations before moving to Hamden afer high school. forget that.”

Lee has fond memories of working in the Child Study Center and interacting with the parents, patients, social workers, and clinicians. A special moment was when the clinicians and social workers had a picnic at one of their houses for her and other colleagues. “It was wonderful to see that they recognized how hard we worked,” Lee says, “and showed how much they appreciated it.”

Moving to her current workplace in Clinical Cashiering was particularly welcoming because Lee knew a lot of colleagues in the building. She credits Joel for “making it very warm and very inviting, which means a lot the older you get and makes coming to work just so nice.” But what really bowled her over

45 years Denise Castellano Born at Yale New Haven Hospital, Denise likes to joke that her cradle rolled across the street Marketing & Trademark Licensing to Yale School of Medicine for her frst job working for a Noble Prize winner. She eventually moved to the Ofce of the Secretary and Vice President where she managed the conferral of degrees and the issuing of diplomas, and organized major ceremonial and special university events that were attended by thousands of students, parents, and guests. Currently, Denise manages the use of Yale logos to protect and promote Yale’s name and trademarks. She has met people from all walks of life, including world leaders, educators, scientists, artists, and movie stars. Known to have an engaging personality, Denise combines her wealth of institutional knowledge with an ability to make things happen. She holds the life-long friendships that she’s made at Yale very close to her heart. The common thread throughout Denise’s career is her reputation for excellence. “I can do nothing less than put my whole self into my work,” she says. “Hard work and dedication run deep in my core and the end results are evident.” 45 years

If ever there was a staf member who has dedicated her career to Yale students, it is Trish. She began working at Yale Health in 1974, moved to Internal Medicine, and was then recommended for an assistant position in the Timothy Dwight College Dean’s Ofce. It was 1979, and in the ensuing 40 years, she has supported two generations of Yalies, many of whom have been guided, comforted, listened to, and always loved by this “college mom.” Trish has been invited to students’ weddings, their christenings, and then welcomed their own children as Timothy Dwight undergraduates. She has assisted four deans in four decades and describes them as “fabulous people, wonderful to work with and get to know and see every day.” But the students have been the highlight. “They are the big joy of the job,” says Trish. “They share so much; they are bright, considerate, lovely human beings.” Trish Cawley | Timothy Dwight College 10 William Dobie Bill’s supervisor is quick to say that Bill is the “elder statesman” Physical Plant of Yale’s plumbing shop. Bill began his career in the dining halls and was one of the frst eight staf members to go through the “new” plumbing apprentice program in the mid-1970s. In fact, he is the last of the original plumbing apprentices that is currently working “with the tools” at the university. A self-directed expert in his feld, Bill knows the campus buildings and their plumbing and heating systems like the back of his hand. His colleagues, especially the newer tradesmen, continually tap into his deep institutional knowledge. Bill always takes a task and “runs it to ground” until he fnds a solution to the problem, says his supervisor, “and his

customers’ needs are always fulflled.” 45 years

Debra has wanted to be a librarian ever since she was a little girl. It was a high school librarian who introduced her to the idea of working with books. She has been in Yale’s library system for her entire 45-year career, beginning in the Science Library stacks and then moving on to other libraries. About 20 years into this work, Debra decided to go back to school to fulfll her dream of becoming a librarian. As a single mother of three, she began undergraduate studies, eventually earning undergraduate and Master of Library Science degrees, and is today a Collections Procurement Librarian. A long career is packed with memories, and Debra spoke of a “fun moment” when she was helping patrons with research: “The document center was closed, but we were still cataloging items to be moved, and this researcher I recognized was banging on the door. I opened it and told him the place was closed, but he was looking for me, and opened his recently published book to show my name listed in his dedication.” Debra Falvey | Library, Technical Services 11 Edith Fortes | Library, Preservation

Edith’s hands have graced the pages of centuries-old books, newspapers, periodicals, letters, and theses Howard’s eyes light up when in the years she has worked preserving Yale’s printed he recalls early years at the treasures.

She has what could possibly have gone wrong to produce that set of symptoms.” His work has enjoyed discovering Yale beyond the library’s walls on included writing computer programs that were the frst of their kind, and today helping Nooks and Crannies tours, most notably the furniture engineer new university-wide systems. “Yale has been willing,” says Howard, “to collection at the Yale Art Gallery.

12 Lucille believes in the inscription to the right of the entrance to Sterling Memorial Library: “The library is the heart of the university.” It is also very dear to her heart, in a career that has embraced providing excellent resources to students and patrons. When Lucille joined the library afer college, her father had been working there for years in the budget ofce, and she grew up going to Yale football games, the art galleries—anything new at Yale was a family outing. In her early career, Lucille drove into work every day with her father. Family is also what she found with a group of library friends who still get together as the “Over-40 Club”—each member has 40-plus years at Yale. Lucille says she is most inspired by Yale

librarians’ mission: “We all put a lot of drive, ambition, and pride 45 years into delivering the knowledge patrons need for their research.” Lucille Houde Library, Area Studies & Humanities Research Support

When you are a music lover, particularly of musicals and piano Kathryn Mansi | Music Library scores, it is ftting to have spent your entire Yale career in the Music Library. Kathryn is knowledgeable in the library’s collections and has been inspired by the students and professors she helps with their research. “What’s really a lot of fun,” she says, “is getting to know the diferent personalities and their passions.” While praising colleagues she works with daily, Kathryn holds a special place in her heart for former director Harold Samuel. “He was dynamic and a great storyteller,” she recalls. “He is responsible for obtaining the collections of Benny Goodman, Vladimir Horowitz, and Leroy Anderson, among others.” Stand-out memories also include shaking Benny Goodman’s hand at the library shortly before his death, and taking a ride with an assistant librarian to Virgil Thomson’s New York apartment to pick up some materials he was donating. 13 Paul B. Thorn | Information Technology Services

Paul, who recently retired as Senior Systems Specialist from Information Technology Services (ITS), was the youngest Data Center staf member when he joined Yale in 1974. He and his brother Jef, who celebrated 45 years at Yale in 2018, started working part-time in ITS before graduating from high school and transitioned into full-time right afer receiving their diplomas. Wisdom he has acquired over the decades? “Learn to listen to what others are saying and take note,” he says. “Everyone has something they want to bring to the table, but to 45 years be efective you must be able to determine the correct course of action.” Yale is Paul’s family, fguratively and literally. Eight other close family members who currently work, have worked, have retired from the university have been “a great source of unity” for him. He says what inspires him most about Yale is the opportunity “to work with others to create and physically implement new designs and confgurations with successful validation.” Words Paul lives by? “Failure is a prerequisite for success.”
