Sally Fleming

Sally (Aldyth Louise) Fleming, wife of former U-M president Robben W. Fleming, Born in 1917 in Beloit Wis., she grew up in Rockford, Ill., and attended Beloit College, where she earned a bachelor of arts degree in sociology and met her husband. They died Feb. 25, 2005 after a brief illness.

He was preceded in death by his wife Katharine (Kitty) Clay Sawyer, whom he died March 5, 2005 after a lengthy illness. She was 56.

Hanible worked in a number of high-profile, dynamic organizations with a rich variety of experiences, including technical services, public services and administration.

Her contributions to the University include an extensive list of articles, presentations and consulting activities. She was active in many American Library Association divisions and represented the U-M Library on several state-level committees.

"Phelix brought a rich combination of ability, creativity, energy and experience to Michigan that reflected her strong commitment to research and learning," University Librarian William Gosling says. "Her contributions to both the advancement of the library and, more broadly, to the profession will be greatly missed."

Hanible received her bachelor of arts degree from Eastern Michigan University in 1972 and her master of arts in library science from U-M's School of Library Science in 1984.

She came to the University as head of the Original Cataloging Unit, later serving as assistant to the dean for strategic planning and total quality management. She left U-M to take positions at the University of Southern California and the University of Massachusetts Amherst Library, but returned to her alma mater in 2003 as associate librarian for technical and access services, where she launched many new initiatives.

Hanible began her career at University Microfilms International, where she was a catalog librarian for the research collection, a manager of cataloging operations, and later an editor for student reference projects.

Plans are being made for a memorial service.

Gerald Dunn

Former regent Gerald "Gerry" Dunn died March 20, 2005. He was 70.

Born in Wellsville, N.Y., in October 1934, Kelsey earned three degrees from U-M-a bachelor's degree in 1956, a dental degree in 1964, and a master's degree in prosthodontics in 1967. After earning his bachelor's degree, he attended the U.S. Navy's Officer Candidate School in Newport, R.I., and returned to Michigan following his tour of duty.

Shortly after earning his dental degree, Kelsey joined the faculty in 1964 as a clinical instructor. In 1967, he became an assistant professor; six years later, a full professor.

During a career that spanned 35 years, Kelsey was editor of the school's Alumni Bulletin from 1970-80. He also produced more than 25 videos on dentures and occlusion in the school's television studios. For many, his most memorable piece was a 30-minute video he produced and narrated in 1975 that focused on the school's 100-year history.

His literary interests transcended dentistry.

As a long-time Samuel Clemens aficionado, Kelsey's study contained an extensive collection of rare books, pamphlets and artifacts that focused on what he called "the country's greatest literary genius, Mark Twain." He also was interested in the Civil War and Lincoln's assassination.

Kelsey was a charter fellow of the American College of Prosthodontics and a leader in teaching and clinical activities at the predoctoral and graduate levels, and in continuing education programs. His commitment to teaching was rewarded on five occasions when he was voted Teacher of the Year.

In a spring 1994 interview in the school's alumni magazine, DentalUM, he said, "I feel very fortunate that my career has allowed me to participate in a wide range of interesting and rewarding experiences-whether I'm helping a first-year student in the preclinical lab, or working with a graduate student involved in a difficult clinical situation. I enjoy what I do very much."

Kelsey served on numerous dental school committees, including two terms on its executive committee. He was a member of the University's Senate Assembly-serving as its secretary-and was appointed to the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs, and the Library Council.

He also was an integral part of the school's Gordon H. Sindecuse Museum of Dentistry Committee during its development.

Survivors include his wife, Jean; daughter, Michele Bates, of Oxford, Ohio; son, John, of Deerfield, Ill.; two brothers and two grandchildren.
