Elsie Blumenthal Fetterman ’49 (ED), ’60 MS, ’64 MA, ’66 Ph.D. wrote to fill us in on what she’s been up to all these years. Most recently Fetterman, who is 93 and lives in Amherst, Massachusetts, has been assisting on a new documentary about her synagogue, Temple Beth Israel, in Danielson, Connecticut. She wrote a successful grant proposal to the Massachusetts Humanities Council to win funding to distribute the documentary in schools. Produced by Amherst Media, “A House Built by Hope: A Story of Compassion, Resilience, and Religious Freedom” tells the heartwarming story of how the Danielson community welcomed Holocaust survivors and gave them support, compassion, and hope. She is now helping to write a curriculum guide for it. Fetterman was on UConn’s faculty from 1966 to 1979 as the consumer education specialist for the Cooperative Extension Service. She also served on intergovernmental assignment in 1976 to open a national office of consumer education through U.S. Health and Human Services. More recently, she was the director of Cooperative Extension at the University of Massachusetts from 1979 until she retired in 1992.
