The Star Tribune described Suzy's own art as conceptual in nature, "including light boxes and other ephemera that she constructed."

A spokesman for the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Rob Davis, told the newspaper, "In a gallery you want great lighting, a great support staff, and a good crowd, and Suzy did all of those things in spades." The SooVAC executive director, Carolyn Payne, said, "Her commitment never stopped once she invested in an artist." Her death was a shock to her staff, given Suzy's evident physical fitness.

In a tribute story posted by the MinnPost news Web site, writer Andy Sturdevant observed, "It's amazing to consider the breadth of talent she nurtured in her role at SooVAC , the gallery she helped build."

Paul was staying at a rented beach house while visiting Holland with friends on Labor Day weekend. He was last seen walking on the beach and was initially reported as a missing person, according to Fox 17 News in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

and good spirits. Foul play was not suspected and alcohol was not involved in the drowning, investigators said.

Tish served as a trustee from 1976-93 and became an emerita trustee in 1993. She was an author, etiquette advisor, and business executive as well as the chief of staff for First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, the New York Times reported. After leaving the White House, in 1963, she founded a public relations and marketing business.

Tish wrote a syndicated column on contemporary etiquette and wrote Letitia Baldridge's Complete Guide to Executive Manners. She also wrote books on her time in the White House, including In the Kennedy Style: Magical Evenings in the Kennedy White House.

"There are major CEOs who do not know how to hold a knife and fork properly, but I don't worry about that as much as the lack of kindness," she told the Times in 1992. "There are two generations of people who have not learned how important it is to take time to say ‘I'm sorry' and ‘please' and ‘thank you' and how people must relate to one another."

She had for years taught a class on etiquette for members of the Kenyon senior class.

"She was whimsical and irreverent, enlivening many a board meeting," Trustee Emeritus Gerald Fields '62 said. "A great Kenyon lady, she remained an ardent supporter of the College throughout her life."

Tish was survived by her husband, Robert Hollensteiner; daughter, Clare Smyth; son, Malcolm Hollensteiner; and seven grandchildren.

Lois Williams Brehm, an accomplished musician and longtime adjunct member of the Kenyon music faculty, died on October 10, 2012, in Ashfield, Massachusetts, where she had moved late in life to be near her family. She was eighty-four.

Lois was married for sixty-two years to Carl T. Brehm Jr. H'95, who taught economics at Kenyon from 1963 to 1995. He died in 2011 at eighty-six.

As a musician, she had no fear, Professor of Music Dane Heuchemer said. "You just couldn't rattle her. She was an accompanist of great ability. She had superb musicality and a very refined feel for the keyboard. She was really advanced."

With her husband, she built a harpsichord. At Kenyon Lois taught the harpsichord and organ and played at numerous events. She also performed solo recitals and played in a number of local ensembles. Lois was a featured performer with the Knox County Symphony. And she gave private piano lessons. "She loved it," her daughter Barbara Curtis P '12 '16 said. "She enjoyed working with young people. She was always grateful for ending up in Gambier."

Lois began playing piano when she was five and by the time she was twelve started her career as a teacher, giving lessons to other children and saving money for her college education. She graduated from Drake University and later earned a master's in music at Indiana University. Her favorite composer was J.S. Bach.

After the family moved to Gambier, Lois took part-time jobs at Chalmers Library and at the Kenyon Review. She also worked as the organist at the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Loudonville and at the First Presbyterian Church in Mount Vernon.

Her work in music at Kenyon and as a teacher of music theory and history at Mount Vernon Nazarene University defined her professional life. She worked closely with Kenneth L. Taylor, professor of music at Kenyon from 1966 until his death in 1993. With Taylor she performed in the Gambier Baroque Ensemble and Musica Tranalpina.

"I worked with her on both organ and harpsichord, and she was able to change from one instrument to another nonplussed," Heuchemer said. Lois was at ease leading an ensemble and at one time joined him in a trio. "There wasn't much she couldn't do," he said. "Her students were always well-prepared."

Her keyboard skills and musical knowledge "supported nearly every aspect of the curriculum, including faculty research, undergraduate instruction on piano and organ, and accompanying countless student and faculty recitals," said Benjamin R. Locke, Robert A. Oden, Jr. Professor of Music. "Her devoted contributions to the department laid the foundation for higher standards of musical performance for our students that are well in evidence today."

Locke remembers a "no-nonsense" teacher who nevertheless related well to students "and brought out the best in them." She also had a great sense of humor, Heuchemer said. "We had a lot of fun," he added.

She is survived by daughters Barbara Brehm Curtis and Susan Hall; four grandchildren, including Adam Curtis '16 and Ian Curtis '12; and brothers Paul Williams, Jack Williams, and Joseph Williams. She was predeceased by brother Lowell Williams. G ifts in her memory may be made to the Kenneth Taylor Concert Series, through the Development Office, Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, 43022.
