December 29, 2018: In
memoriam:
Kenneth T. Doran, Potter Club, 1939:
At the time of his death Ken was believed to
be the oldest living member of Potter Club.
Doran, Kenneth T. Sun Prairie, WI.
A teacher and pioneering
administrator in the development of community
colleges, Ken Doran died peacefully on December 2,
2018, at home in Sun Prairie, Wis. He died as he
lived - calm and dignified - with his wife and son
Eric at his side. Following active duty in England
during World War II, he retired as a Lt. Colonel in
the Air Force Reserve. Beginning his career as a
teacher, he became the associate executive dean for
Junior Colleges in the state of New York. Living
most of his life in Albany, he was an active member
of Christ the King Parish in Guilderland, serving as
a lector, lay minister and choir member. Beyond his
professional accomplishments, Ken distinguished
himself as a devoted husband and father and a man of
steadfast Catholic faith. His was a long life of
scholarship and volunteer activities. He published
four volumes of Doran Family Genealogy dating back
to the Mayflower. He brought support to individuals
in nursing homes and read to the blind over the
radio. His joys were playing Scrabble and visiting
Cape Cod. Moving to Sun Prairie in 2014, he lived
out his life with his wife Kathleen "Connie" in
comfort and peace. He reached the age of 100 years
and seven months, thus achieving his oft stated goal
of outliving his mother, which he did by four
months. More important than the number of years, was
the life-long respect Ken enjoyed for his
intelligence, kindness and loyalty. He is survived
by his wife Connie, who herself is 100 years old;
his two sons, Christopher Doran in Denver, Colo. and
Eric Doran in Sun Prairie; as well as his devoted
daughter-in-law Maureen also in Denver. He has five
grandchildren, Alison, Meghan, Caitlin, Leigh and
Samuel as well as six great-grandchildren. Ken, Dad
and "Papa" will be missed greatly by all those whose
lives he touched. Donations may be sent to Agrace
Hospice and Palliative Care, 5395 E. Cheryl Parkway,
Madison, WI, 53711, who provided outstanding
services to Ken in the last portion of his life.

streams. He graduated from Adams High School in
1951. He received his Bachelor degree in 1956 from
Albany State in New York and received his teaching
certification the same year. He joined the Coast
Guard but after his initial training was put on
reserves since he was a teacher which was a critical
skill that was needed at the time. He was honorably
discharged from the Coast Guard in 1965. He
taught math in New York for a couple of years and
then received a National Science Foundation grant
for four successive summers at Montclair State in
New Jersey. He also taught for a year in France at a
military dependent school. In 1962 he came to
California to attend San Diego State on a national
foundation grant. He was given a teaching position
at Hueneme High School in Oxnard in Sept of 1962
where he continued to teach math until he retired in
1992. He married Ann Stoddard on Aug 24, 1964, who
preceded him in death. They are the parents of two

(Susan)(Angie) Fowler and Jeff Ledbetter (Jennifer).
He joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints in 1968 and served faithfully in various
callings through the years. One that had the
greatest impact on him was the many years he served
as a scout master helping him to develop his love of
the outdoors, hiking and backpacking. An annual
outing that he organized for nearly 20 years was the
Kelso Endurance hike. Hikers would complete 32.5
miles in one day through the desert, beginning at
Halloran summit and ending at the train depot hotel
in Kelso, California. He enjoyed early morning
basketball at his church's basketball court for over
30 years. In 2011 he and his wife, Ellen, were
called to serve as missionaries in the New York
Utica Mission for 18 months, which brought him much
joy. Throughout his life and especially after
returning from that mission he often commented on
feeling the hand of God in directing his life and
for being grateful for all that had been given him.

In memorium: Robert
Whalen, `58: Bob's
passing came to our attention through the Spring
2018 issue of the UAlbany magazine.
WATERFORD-
Robert Albion Whalen, 86, passed away
peacefully surrounded by his family on
October 10th, 2017. Born on 125th Street
and Amsterdam Avenue, in the Irish section of Harlem
known as Vinegar Hill, Robert was the youngest child
of Patrick Francis Whalen and Elizabeth Kenny
Whalen. Bob graduated from Good Shepherd
Elementary School, and went on to attend La Salle
Academy where he excelled in hurdles and basketball.
Bob was awarded a basketball scholarship to
Fairleigh Dickinson University where he played four
years of varsity basketball, and earned a Bachelor
of Science degree in business and administration.
Bob then spent two years in the army where he was
assigned to serve in Korea. Upon returning to the
states, Bob attended Albany State College for
Teachers, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree
in history and English. Bob began his teaching
career with his first position at Shaker High
School, and in 1961 was named a Freedom Foundation
Fellow for outstanding teaching in history. It was
at Shaker that he met the love of his life, Judy
Skocylas, although according to Bob, he had seen her
once at Albany State, the most beautiful woman he
had ever laid eyes on descending the main staircase.
He never saw her again until that fateful day that
they were introduced by a mutual friend at Shaker.
He won her over, and they went on to spend 54 years
together as husband and wife. He then
continued his education earning a Master of Arts
degree in History from Albany State College for
Teachers, as well as a Master of Science degree in
Education Administration from Siena College.
Bob then became the principal at Waterford Halfmoon
High School, a position that he retained for 20
years until his retirement. After retiring from
WHHS, Bob held a variety of jobs, but the one he
enjoyed most was teaching Christian Marriage at La
Salle Institute in Troy for six years. Always
a lover of travel and visiting new places, Bob went
on to become a travel agent for Conway Hammond
Travel, specializing in tours to Ireland, during
which time he took over twenty five groups on tours
to share his ancestral lands. When not keeping
busy with work, Bob found time to participate in
activities that he loved. When his wife Judy
revealed that she had always wanted to play the
bagpipes, Bob encouraged her to do so, and ended up
becoming the drum major for the Tara Hall Pipe Band
from Troy, NY. Bob and Judy also loved to
travel, and Bob loved to plan trips for them to
take, from the month long cross country trip in the
family station wagon with the whole family in the
early eighties, to trips for the two of them to such
places as Germany, Greece, China, Russia, Italy, and
of course Ireland among other places. One of the
last trips he planned was a road trip through the
south to Louisiana to allow Judy to pick up the last
few states she had not visited. Of course there was
also the annual snowbird trip to Myrtle Beach where
they spent five months a year living by the ocean.
Bob was predeceased by his wife Judith Whalen, as
well as by all of his siblings; William Whalen, Mary
Tomeo, Helen Burr, Patrick F. Whalen Jr., Anthony
Whalen, and Regina Trudell. He is survived by his
children Daniel F. Whalen of Waterford, Robert E.
Whalen of Corinth, and Katherine Garrity (Peter) of
Nassau. He is also survived by several nieces and
nephews. Funeral services will be Friday at
8:30 a.m. at the Philip J. Brendese Funeral Home,
133 Broad St., Waterford and at 9 a.m. at St. Mary
of the Assumption Church, Waterford. Interment will
follow in the Gerald BH Solomon Saratoga National
Cemetery, Schuylerville. Relatives and friends
may visit at the funeral home Thursday from 4-8 p.m.
Those who wish may make memorial contributions to La
Salle Academy NYC in care of the funeral home
office.
