Katharine S. Rosin

"The Board and staff of the Scherman Foundation are deeply saddened by the death of our former board secretary and treasurer. A deeply erudite and cultured woman, Katharine Rosin was born in New York City, the daughter of Bernadine and Harry Scherman, founder of the Foundation. A gifted author of ten non-fiction books, her interests ranged from ornithology and mountain climbing, to classical music and European history. Her broad knowledge and experience, and clear sense of right and wrong, illuminated the deliberations of the Foundation's board for almost 50 years. She was predeceased by her husband and our chairman emeritus, Axel Rosin. We extend our love and condolences to her daughters Karen Sollins, our esteemed chairman, and Susanna Bergtold, our board secretary, and her grandchildren Peter Sollins and Amy Bergtold."
