1970

Richard Kellogg W (EdD) announces the publication of his book, Vignettes of Sherlock Holmes (Gryphon Books), a collection of essays that explore Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective from historical, literary, and psychological perspectives. A professor of psychology at Alfred State College, Richard focuses on the cognitive processes of deduction, induction, memory, perception and creativity, which are used by Holmes in his criminal investigations. . . . Barbara Lovenheim (PhD) sends an update: She left a 10-year career teaching at the City University of New York to pursue a career as a journalist and editor. She has published articles in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and other publications. She writes, “In 2002, I wrote my second book, Survival in the Shadows: Seven Jews Hidden in Hitler’s Berlin, published in England (Peter Owen) and Germany (Random House), about two Rochester residents—Ellen Arndt (now deceased) and her husband, Erich Arndt, and five other family members who hid in Berlin for 2½ years. Miraculously, they all survived, protected by 50 non-Jewish Germans. The book was reissued by the Center for Holocaust Awareness and Information in Rochester in conjunction with Wayne State University Press in 2003. I am signing an option agreement with Nico Hofmann, a top German producer, who plans to bring out a feature film on the book.”
