Sending Our Condolences
ALA recently received news that longtime member Nan Buckingham, 79, passed away in July. She had worked at Cassem, Tierney,
Adams, Gotch & Douglas in Omaha, Nebraska, for more than 60 years — starting as a part-time employee while in high school — and she had just reached her 42nd year with ALA. Donations in 
her memory can be made to
Camp Calvin Crest or the Presbyterian Church of the Master. Our thoughts are with
her family, friends and colleagues.
ALA is also saddened to pass along news of the death of Susan “Sue” Kuder, 77. She had served as the Director of Administration at Cunningham, Machanic, Cetlin, Johnson, Harney & Tenney, LLP, in Natick, Massachusetts, for more than 20 years until retiring earlier this year. Sue was a dedicated member of the Boston Chapter since 1992, serving on many committees and welcoming attendees to events. She was also heavily invested in social justice causes through the Peace Corps, Amnesty International, Watertown Welcomes Immigrants and her church. Donations in her memory can be made to First Parish of Watertown, a Unitarian Universalist congregation.
