A Slide Show on the Life of Arthur Vidich

The Vidich/Bensman conference was a resounding success with great attendance from family members, students and colleagues of Joe Bensman and Arthur Vidich coming from all over the United States.  The three day conference was video taped and will be made available for purchase in the near future. The conference began with memories of Art and Joe and their influence over the disciplines of sociology, anthropology and upon the lives of generations of students throughout the world. 

 Gerald Levy opened the conference by thanking all of the attendees and recognizing many sociologists who were unable to attend - including Robert Jackall, Ronald Glassman, Robert Lilienfeld, Guy Oakes and Doyle McCarthy.  Charles Vidich shared a slide show of Art Vidich's life which you can now watch by clicking on the video version of his presentation A Pictorial Biography of Arthur J. Vidich: 1921-2006 which features his life and legacy as an American sociologist.

 We will be releasing more of the proceedings from the conference in the days ahead but felt it was important to immediately notify you of the overwhelming success of this first Commemorative Conference on the lives and legacy of Joseph Bensman and Arthur J. Vidich.

    Charlie Vidich, if you are reading this (or if the person reading this would forward my message to him), please get in touch with me: Nick Thorkelson nthork@nickthorkelson.com>. Sorry I didn't try harder to make contact years ago when we were both working at Francois X Bagnoud Cntr. Aside from wanting to say hi, I have questions about Herbert Marcuse, having just learned that he and Art were teaching at Brandeis together. (I am working on a comic about Marcuse.)
