In memoriam
We are greatly saddened to share that David Ilten ’60, President of the Yale Club of Germany, passed away on April 20 2019 after a brief illness. David was president of our Yale Club for over 40 years and was beloved for his warmth and gentleness of character and his tireless commitment to Yale. For decades he has been the face of the Yale Club of Germany—traveling to New Haven for AYA meetings, serving as liaison for professors and singing groups, interviewing countless prospective students, sharing all his bits of Yale trivia, and welcoming new arrivals to the Yale community in Germany with kindness and warmth. He will be greatly missed, but will certainly remain with us in spirit.
Our member Robert Dickler has graciously placed an announcement in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (überregional) on Friday, April 26, 2019 in accordance with David’s wish and is asking other members for contributions towards the costs. Please find his personal message and details on how to contribute here.
