Bassinson, Max David -- [Published Saturday 3/14/2015 in the Times Union, Albany, NY]
    Max Bassinson - FROM ADDICTION'S DARKNESS HE ROSE, AND THEN WAS GONE
    Bethlehem
    At 23, Max Bassinson had never been happier and his future seemed very bright.
    After several failed attempts at drug treatment, recovery took hold. He had overcome an opiate addiction that started with marijuana in middle school and progressed to abusing prescription pills while a student at Bethlehem Central High School.
    After completing treatment, he had lived clean and sober for more than two years and was part of a rigorous recovery community, StepUp, on the campus of Augsburg College in Minneapolis.
    Bassinson attended Augsburg on a music scholarship for piano performance. He was a junior, a talented classical pianist and member of the college choir. He was scheduled to perform with the choir at Carnegie Hall in New York City on March 22.
    He loved animals and offered to take care of a friend's cat last weekend in his dormitory room. It was March 7, a Saturday. His girlfriend came over, they ate pizza and stayed up late. She fell asleep and was awakened in the middle of the night. She found him on the floor. She couldn't wake him up. She called 911.
    Paramedics arrived within three minutes. They worked on Bassinson for more than 30 minutes, but could not revive him. He was pronounced dead.
    An autopsy revealed that Bassinson's left coronary artery was 95 percent blocked. Bassinson died from advanced, undiagnosed heart disease. There was no family history and no symptoms.
    He had come through the darkness of addiction. He life had shined its brightest. And then he was gone.
    His parents got a phone call at 4:30 a.m. They boarded a 9 a.m. flight for Minneapolis.
    The past week has been a blur of shock and grief and making arrangements for a funeral on Saturday. It was also an opportunity to begin healing. His parents spent a few days at Augsburg and attended two memorial services held on campus. They heard students, faculty and administrators praise their son.
    Other students in StepUp said they confided in him when they struggled with their own sobriety. They used words like radiant and inspiring to describe Max. They said he was a good listener who had a gift for reassuring them and making them feel better about themselves. He volunteered to serve as a sponsor to several people in the Minneapolis community in 12-step recovery programs. They came to the campus services to thank him.
    "People told wonderful stories about Max for more than an hour," his father, Scott Bassinson, said. "It was a wonderful, supportive community for him. He felt great about himself. It was the happiest time of his life. He had found love. He had become a giving, generous person in service of others. We're so grateful that he had found such happiness and love."
    A lot of pain and darkness had come before that. He started smoking pot at 14 because it helped him relax and cope with social anxiety. It made him "feel normal," he told his parents. He moved on to opiates, including oxycodone and hydrocodone. He never tried heroin, although its use exploded among young adults in the Capital Region in the past two years after the supply of prescription opiate pills tightened.
    "He left the market before pills dried up," his father said.
    In December 2011, their 20-year-old son was stopped by State Police, who arrested him for driving impaired by drugs. The troopers drove him to his parents' house.
    "Your son really needs help," one of the troopers told his father.
    They had seen signs -- a string of lies, items missing from their house, marijuana seeds and empty pill capsules in his bedroom -- but they did not act on their initial concerns.
    "We were in denial," the father said. "Max was so smart and talented that we didn't see a downward trajectory. He graduated with a 91 average and got admitted to Northeastern."
    By the time he dropped out of Northeastern his sophomore year, his addiction had spiraled out of control. The State Police arrest was a wake-up call to his parents. They immediately got him into the detox unit at St. Peter's Hospital and had him transferred directly to Hazelden's addiction treatment program for young adults outside Minneapolis. He quit treatment and relapsed and spent six months at Gray Wolf Ranch in Port Townsend, Wash. and returned to Hazelden before his recovery stuck.
    "We were extremely fortunate," the father said. He's a lawyer whose law firm's insurance covered the high cost of treatment. He's now a hearings counsel and administrative law judge with the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
    His wife, Meg, is a piano instructor. Both parents are accomplished pianists. Their son, Paul, 27, works for the Siena Research Institute.
    "It's been really hard on Paul," his father said. "We're all up and down."
    Others had seen the change that addiction caused in Bassinson, including Tom Fris, a longtime Bassinson family friend and Bethlehem High School math teacher who taught Max in a pre-calculus course.
    "I saw his brightness and positivity was starting to fade and there was a harder edge to him his senior year, but I didn't think he was that far gone," Fris said. "But he came out clean and he was very proud of his sobriety. I saw him at Christmas and he shined like the sun. I'd never seen him looking so good. He was absolutely blossoming at Augsburg."
    Fris said the outpouring of love from Augsburg students on social media helped him with his own sadness. "It's tragic on so many levels," he said.
    As part of his treatment program, Bassinson had taken pains to make things right with his parents and others he had hurt through his drug abuse. He had abandoned the lies, deceit and heavy baggage of addiction.
    He felt free and unburdened for the first time in many years and reclaimed the best version of himself. He told his parents: "I choose life."
    At his college recital last month, he performed Maurice Ravel's composition for solo piano, "Jeux d'eau," or Water Games. It evokes the sound and feel of flowing water, with life's unpredictable currents.
    His parents have established a music scholarship in their son's name at Augsburg College. His girlfriend and several friends from Augsburg will attend his funeral Saturday at 11 a.m. at St. Vincent de Paul Church, 900 Madison Ave., Albany. The music at the funeral will including a recording of their son's performance of "Jeux d'eau" from the Feb. 16 recital.
    It was the best he had ever played the Ravel piece. It was described as radiant and inspiring.

Danckert, Anthony A. "Tony" -- [Published 11/24/1976 in the Times Record, Troy, NY]

(BOSTON AP) - "He was a young man in his prime, and all of a sudden he's not there anymore," said Boston University's defensive line coach Ted Olivo after one of his most promising football players died from an unusual reaction to a common anesthetic. Starting linebacker Anthony A. Danckert, 19, of Clarksville, N.Y., died Tuesday at Children's Hospital here - three days after he broke his leg in the last game of the season. A. Danckert played three years of varsity football at Bethlehem Central High School in Delmar, a member of the Suburban Council. He was coached by veteran Art Richko. No one knew that he was one of a handful of people with a genetic resistance to anesthesia that could result in death. The sophomore, who was called "the best middle linebacker Boston University ever had," injured his left leg Saturday in a game at Louisville. "He got hit in the leg, busted his shin bone." Olivo said. "They tried to put a splint on his leg on the field because the bone was almost popping out of his skin. They put a cast on it, but figured they'd leave the [final?] job for Boston." Sunday, Danckert took a direct flight __ Huston and was brought to Children's Hospital where he received a routine anisthes__ _____ doctors began to set the leg. "The anesthesiologist said 'I think I'm going to lose this guy and right away his temperature shot up to 109." Olivo said "He came out of it Monday night. He was joking around, asking for a Coke, then he had a relapse."...his voice trailed off. "I can't describe it." Olivo said as he ________ how he felt. "Here's a _____ young guy _____ he goes in to the hospital for a simple operation and three days later he's dead." Dr. Robert Hunyun, the physician who treated Danckert said only one in 20,000 people have this genetic condition. About ___ per cent die from the violent reaction to anesthetics, called malignant hypothermia, he said. "______________ operated on before." Olivo said. "This year." Olivo said. "Tony was only a sophomore ___ 2 inch -- 218 pounds -- developing into a fine player. _________ Now, who knows where he would have been said Kemp, the Terriers' head coach, resigned just hours before the player's death -- but said there was no connection. Kemp, who praised the linebacker's ability and called him "one of the... team's leaders" said: "I just happened to have three girls, but if you had a son, he's the kind of son you'd like to have."

Dryden, Daniel Perry II -- [Published Wednesday 10/1/2008 in the Anchorage Daily News (AK)]

March 15, 1943 - Aug. 09, 2008
    Sutton resident Daniel Perry Dryden II, 65, died Aug. 9, 2008, in Rio Dulce, Guatemala. A memorial service and potluck will be 3-7 p.m. Sunday at The Red Beet Restaurant in Palmer. Dan was born March 15, 1943, in New York City to Daniel P. Dryden and Elizabeth Macmillan Dryden. "Dan's love and appreciation of nature began at an early age," his family said.
    He was raised in rural upstate New York on a farm where he enjoyed riding horses, farming, exploring, hunting, downhill skiing and teaching youths at his family's summer camp. "Adventuring, studying natural history and wilderness survival were a lifetime focus for Dan," his family said.
    Dan graduated from Bethlehem Central High School in Delmar, N.Y., in 1960, and attended Hudson Valley Community College with a focus on engineering and drafting. As soon as the money had been earned, he started traveling the United States, riding his motorcycle west to New Mexico, California and finally arriving in Alaska in 1968. Alaska's wilderness captured Dan's heart. He lived in the Mat-Su Borough (Chickaloon and Wasilla) and worked on an oil platform in Kenai with the focus of saving enough money to buy a sailboat. In 1971, Dan bought a 1930 wooden sailboat in England and met his lifelong partner and wife, Nancy Korns Dryden. They sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, lived on their sailboat in England, the Caribbean and New York and many ports in between, and began raising their two children, Jessica and Daniel. To support their travels, Dan and Nancy spent two years in Fairbanks, where Dan drove a semi-truck on the haul road and enjoyed the technical challenge and beauty of driving through the Arctic wilderness. He acquired the truck driver handle "Professor" for his keen, inquiring mind and his desire to share what he had learned, his family said.
    In 1983, Dan and his family moved to Sutton. There Dan began building their log home, which was a gathering place for people of all ages and cultures.
    During the next 25 years, Dan's trucking career continued, and he was active with his family in developing their property. He served on the Sutton Community Council and many community development committees. "Dan was outspoken because of his strong desire to live in a healthy community," his family said. "Dan was an inventor, problem solver, world traveler, craftsman, mechanic, bread maker, hiker, reader, philosopher, researcher, adventurer, skier, leader, skilled carpenter, steward of the earth, and a very spiritually-focused husband and father. He is greatly missed by his family, friends and community. Dan will always be remembered as living life to its fullest." For more information, visit www.danieldryden.blogspot.com.

Fordham, David C. -- [Published 1/6/2003 in the Wisconsin State Journal, Madison, WI]
LONGTIME WORKER AT BADGER ARMY PLANT DIES. DAVID FORDHAM STARTED PRAIRIE RESTORATION AT THE PLANT AND WORKED ON ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP.
    David Fordham, who helped ease the move to make the Badger Army Ammunition Plant into a non-military facility and helped start environmental cleanup some 30 years ago, died Friday. He was 60.
    Fordham's wife, Joan, said he died of an asbestos-related cancer that might have come from a time when he worked as a college student in construction in the 1960s or from the work he did at the ammunition plant.
    Fordham went to the plant in 1971 as an engineer, she said. In 1976, he became a representative of the plant commander.
    In that role, Fordham oversaw modernization, making the plant ready to produce more ammunition at any moment. But soon after he got there, the plant stopped producing ammunition.
    Since then, Fordham spent a lot of time working on environmental cleanup at the plant, his wife said. Production during World War II created many of the environmental problems, she said.
    The vision to start prairie restoration at the plant was his, Joan Fordham said. He had already made some plantings at the plant in the 1980s.
    Fordham retired in November.
    Late last year, after sometimes controversial discussions, federal, state and tribal governments assumed ownership of the land, after agreeing to use it for recreation and conservation purposes.
    Fordham was an avid biker, hiker and spent a lot of time canoeing and raising the couple's three children.
    "(The children) were put into the world of camping whether they wanted to do it or not," Joan Fordham said. "That's what we did since they were little."
    She said her husband also played guitar and was involved in church.
    "There were just a lot of sides of him that I think people didn't know."
    He is survived by his wife, three children and two grandchildren.
    A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at the First United Methodist Church in Baraboo.

    In 2016 Bob told the Cape Cod Times, "I always try to make sure people are leaving my performances with good feelings, and all it takes is a pretty tune or a beautiful melody and all of a sudden the customers are feeling great."
    About playing with Bob Hope: "He was quite a guy, and so easy to work for. We played 'Sunny Side of the Street' and 'Every Time It Rains,' and of course his little schtick, 'Thanks for the Memories," Hayes said. "The second time I played for him, in Tampa, he remembered me and he said, 'Didn't you just play for me on Cape Cod?' And I said,'yes'. And he said, 'Then you know my stuff. Don't bother me - go home and come back for showtime.' So that's what I did. And, you know, he still paid me for the rehearsal and we had a great time up there. I'll never forget it."
    "To this day I have thousands of songs in my head. I may not remember your name but I'll remember your favorite song. For me, I chose the right career. I'm not bragging but I had the talent and I recognized it in myself and I went for it. And that's what being driven, and going after life is all about."
    Bob was predeceased by his wife of 59 years, Lacy (McCord) Hayes, and a son, Robert C.

Poillon, Daniel J. -- [Published 8/10/1965 in the Knickerbocker News, Albany, NY]

Car Plunges into Ditch
Iowa Crash Kills Glenmont Youth
FAIRFIELD, Iowa -- A college student from Glenmont, N.Y., was killed near here early today in a spectacular car crash.

    The victim was identified as Daniel J. Poillon 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Poillon, 13 Magee Rd., Glenmont.
    Poillon, a sophomore at Parsons College, died when his 1965 fastback coupe went out of control at the intersection of two blacktop roads northeast of Fairfield. Police and firemen used a wrecking bar and hydraulic jacks to free his body from the tangled wreckage.
    The spectacular crash took place at Perlee and Salina Roads. Traveling at high speed, Poillon missed the curve, authorities said. His shattered wristwatch found on the pavement marked the time of the accident at 2:47 a.m (1:47 a.m. Albany time). He was alone in his car when it plunged into a triangular ditch and rolled end over end.
    Died Instantly
The youth died instantly of a fractured skull, authorities said. The upper part of his body was pinned between the door and the flattened roof of the car.
    Two other Parsons College students said they witnessed the accident, but said they were not directly involved. They denied they had been drag racing. Andrew Evans, 21, of Delray Beach, Fla., and Charles Mueller, 21, of Richmond, Ind., said they were in a 1965 car and saw Poillon's car approaching "like a bat out of hell."
    The second car went into a ditch to avoid being hit by the Poillon car. Skid marks showed that young Poillon skidded 300 feet after applying his brakes before coming to a halt. Parts of the battered car were scattered over a wide area.
    The Iowa Highway Patrol and the Jefferson County sheriff's office investigated. Fairfield is a city of 10,000 in the southeast corner of Iowa.
    In Glenmont, the victim's father, a foreman at the International Harvester Co. parts depot in Menands, said his son was enrolling in a trimester liberal arts course and was attending summer classes. He had visited his family in June. Besides his parents, the victim is survived by a sister, Frances.
    In Earlier Accident
On April 6, 1961, young Poillon suffered several internal and head injuries when he was involved in an accident in which three Bethlehem Central High School youths were killed.
    The car in which the Poillon youth, then 17, was riding, smashed into a tree on Font Grove Road, Slingerlands. Killed were the driver of the car, Peter J. Leisenfelder, 18, of Delmar; William Hammond, 17, of Glenmont and John Newell, 18, of Delmar.
    Also injured was Robert Cleary, 16, of Delmar.

Area Crashes Take 2 Lives; Troy Boy Hurt
    [Excerpt with information regarding Wayne A. Sherman]
A 21-year old ex-Navy veteran was killed early today when his auto slammed sideways into a tree on Rt. 85A, near New Salem, a half mile west of Voorheesville.
    The dead:
    Wayne Sherman Jr., 21 of State Farm road, Slingerlands. Sherman met his death about 1:30 a.m. today when his 1954 sedan, traveling east veered off the road, to the left and onto the north side of the highway, crashing into the tree in front of the home of Robert Kuhn.
    Mr. Kuhn hearing the crash, investigated. He told police Sherman was lying outside of the auto on the driver's side. Sherman was rushed to Albany Medical Center Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
    Coroner John J. Mara is withholding a decision pending outcome of an autopsy being performed today at the hospital.
    The youth came out of the U.S. Navy with an honorable discharge only last month. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Sherman Sr.
    Troopers L. B. Huggins and C. J. Phillips of the Selkirk patrol investigated.
    The State Police said that there were no apparent witnesses to the tragedy. They are unable to determine immediately what had cause [sic] the accident. The road was a straight-away at that point.
    Young Sherman was apparently on his way home when the accident occurred, authorities said.

Wayne A. Sherman, 21, who was killed in an automobile accident near Voorheesville, was buried with military honors in West Hoosick, Nov. 6. Wayne, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Sherman of State Farm Rd., Slingerlands, had just completed three years military service.

Solomon, Gerald Brooks -- [Published Saturday 10/27/2001 in the Post-Star, Glens Falls, NY]

QUEENSBURY - Former U.S. Rep. Gerald Solomon, the most prominent American politician to hail from the Glens Falls area in nearly a century, died Friday afternoon of congestive heart failure at his home in Queensbury. He was 71.
    One of the most influential power brokers in American politics for years before he retired in 1998, Solomon served in the mid-1990s as the U. S. House of Representatives Rules Committee chairman - one of the nation's top legislative gatekeepers. Starting his 30-year political career as Queensbury town supervisor in 1968, Solomon rose through influential local, state and national positions to become one of the dozen or so most powerful politicians in Washington. He retired in 1998, and formed the Solomon Group, a lobbying enterprise based in Washington.
    Solomon was conservative and patriotic when both were unfashionable. Some national politicians have quipped that Ronald Reagan adopted "Jerry" Solomon's views. "Nobody exemplified the spirit of America better than Jerry Solomon," House Speaker Dennis Hastert told the Associated Press. "And nobody was willing to fight harder for freedom than Jerry Solomon."
    Solomon, most observers agree, was New York state's most powerful Republican in the House of Representatives in about 45 years. In that role, he helped engineer the nation's movement toward conservative economic principles, including paying off the national debt and re-engineering welfare, politicians said Friday. A fiscal conservative, Solomon fought for tax cuts and advocated a free-market economy.
    Throughout his political career, Solomon was considered a champion of veterans and their causes. He wrote the bill that created the cabinet-level Department of Veterans Affairs, and he co-authored the 1984 G.I. Bill of Rights that increased Veterans benefits - helping attract and retain quality military personnel over the last 15 years, former colleagues said Friday.
    But it was Solomon's patriotism that is legendary. His ardent patriotism was reflected in his ongoing campaign to establish a constitutional amendment banning the burning or desecration of the U.S. flag - passed overwhelmingly in the House but defeated in the Senate by a single vote.
    He was rarely seen without a flag pin in his lapel either in Washington or at one of the countless local events he attended over his political career. His patriotism also prompted him to successfully promote legislation that reflected strong anti-Communist attitudes, seeking to defeat totalitarianism through military, economic and political strength - positions he had fought for before even Reagan adopted his conservative views.
    Solomon was a close friend of Reagan's, who offered Solomon a cabinet-level position, Solomon Group spokesman William Teator said Friday. Solomon turned the appointment down to keep his role as a leading lawmaker, he said. But Solomon did accept Reagan's appointment as an ambassador to the United Nations, and worked on Reagan's transition team when the popular president took office. During his 20-year reign in Washington, Solomon's views, votes and speeches reflected the stance of his constituents back home: conservative, patriotic, pro-gun, anti-abortion, anti-drug, free economy. Although he won his first political office as a Democrat and shocked party workers when he switched to the Republican Party less than two months after, he has since been a Republican loyalist.
    Powerful in Washington, he was persuasive at home. Solomon regularly won elections in landslide vote tallies in his 22nd District, garnering margins of 2-to-1 or higher. He was a familiar face in his district, attending thousands of events,
    Born in Aug. 14, 1930, in Okeechobee, Fla., Solomon moved to New York state in 1945. He attended Bethlehem Central High School, pursued his studies at Siena College, and then enlisted in the U.S. Marines Corps. He was in active duty in the Marines during 1951 and 1952 at the time of the Korean War, and then served about six more years in the Marine Reserves.
    He founded Associates of Glens Falls Insurance Co., which he owned and operated from 1964 through 1978.
    Solomon's political career began in 1967, when he successfully ran for Queensbury town supervisor, barely defeating John Webster. Making political history in Queensbury, headlines at the time proclaimed he was the first Democrat elected in the town in a century. A year later, he switched parties.
Warren County Administrator Harold Robillard, who served with him that first year on the Town Board, on Friday remembered Solomon's very first action at the organizational meeting on New Year's Day in 1968.
    "Jerry made a motion to appoint a new chief of police, to replace Leroy Phillips, the one-man police department." Robillard said. "There was complete silence, and no one seconded his motion. So he just said, 'Then I second it too,' but his motion failed - but Jerry took the defeat in good humor.
    Robillard recalled that Solomon led the board, which was faced with a crisis of not enough water, in an effort to design and build a water treatment facility - a plant that is still considered state-of-the-art. He served as town supervisor through 1972. "Jerry had a lot of vision," Robillard said. "He had a big impact on the town, the county, state and then America - he helped reform government, and he's a true American."
    In 1972, he ran for the 110th state Assembly seat in a vigorous campaign pledging to slash state spending, and he easily defeated 10-year incumbent Assemblyman Lawrence Corbett Jr. of Fort Edward by a greater than 2-to-1 margin. In the Assembly, Solomon blasted high crime rates, and urged a crackdown. He fought against high taxes and government waste, and along the way fought for the "bottle bill" and to abolish pay toilets along highways in the state.
    Winning his bid for the Congress in 1978 with a 2-to-1 margin after a heated election battle versus Democrat Ned Pattison, Solomon launched his conservative, pro-military and free-economy political philosophies on a larger stage. At first viewed as a zealous reactionary, he was later embraced as a formative engineer of the "Reagan Revolution" of conservative principles. His strong patriotism pushed him to sponsor a bill cutting off college aid for men not registered for the draft and another cutting off grants for colleges that barred military recruiters.
    In the 1980s, he began to battle dredging PCBs from the Hudson River, angering environmentalists but pleasing pro-business interests. After he retired, he was a prominent lobbyist for General Electric Co., which dumped the toxic chemical into the river. But he also pushed for environmental progress, helping establish the Fresh Water Institute, an ecological research facility in Bolton Landing. The institute was among the dozens of major pork-barrel benefits Solomon brought to his district.
    In 1994, Solomon secured $20 million to establish an expansive sewer system in the county, centering around - and intended to protect - Lake George. To date, that project remains tied up in court challenges.
    In the 1990s, he was an architect of budget cutting, economic expansion and welfare reform - partially reflected in the Contract with America. But not all his views were along a predictable, conservative line. He was an ardent opponent of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and fought for term limits, even though he had served for decades. In his last years in Congress, he successfully lobbied to establish the Saratoga National Cemetery, and worked hard to secure laws protecting family dairy farms.
    Over the years, he became close friends with at least four presidents - Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr. and George W. Bush. But his greatest friendships, perhaps, were the residents of his district, thousands of whom he remembered by name, Robillard recalled.
    After Solomon retired from politics in 1998, bumper stickers started appearing around Glens Falls. They simply read: "Thanks, Jerry." Newcomers to the area may not understand the message. But old-timers knows what it means. An old pickup parked regularly outside the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post on Cooper Street in Glens Falls is plastered with the "Thanks Jerry" stickers.
    The pickup's 76-year-old owner, Jack Yole, was sitting at the bar inside the post Friday, reminiscing about Solomon. A World War II veteran, Yole said Solomon helped him get his full military pension and medical care when he needed it badly. "Jerry was a great man," he said with tears in his eyes, looking at his fellow veterans in the hall. "Jerry was for us."
