A story in People highlights the legacy of former School of Architecture & Urban Planning professor Don Glickman, who passed away in November at age 94 after living with congestive heart failure. 

Before his death, Glickman asked his daughter, Leah Glickman, to mail more than 100 postcards to friends, colleagues, and former students. Each card read: “If you’re reading this I’m dead, and I really liked you,” a characteristically direct and heartfelt farewell. 

In the article, writer Desiree Anello explores Glickman’s approach to mortality and Leah Glickman’s experience carrying out her father’s final gesture, reflecting on the many lives he impacted through his teaching and mentorship.
