Deceased Alumni
Frances Gildea George, B.S.’38, M.L.S.’42
Longtime University at Albany supporter Frances Gildea George, 98, died Jan. 7, 2015, in Delmar, N.Y.
A New York State College for Teachers graduate, George worked for the state departments of Civil Service and Social Services, retiring from the latter in 1976. She and her husband, Edward S. George, B.A.’38, M.A.’40, Ed.D., who predeceased her, remained closely affiliated with their alma mater throughout their lives. The Heritage Circle Society members were the first alumni to make a $1 million gift to the University. The George Education Center at the East Campus is named for them, as is a lecture hall on the uptown campus.
Frances George is survived by five nephews and several cousins.

Author and historian Joseph E. Persico passed away Aug. 30, 2014. He was 84.
Persico studied English and political science at the New York State College for Teachers and completed graduate work at Columbia University. The U.S. Navy veteran and former United States Information Agency (USIA) officer was a political writer and researcher for New York Gov. W. Averell Harriman in the 1950s. He later served as chief speechwriter for Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller.
As a full-time author, Persico earned acclaim for such works as My Enemy, My Brother: Men and Days of Gettysburg; The Imperial Rockefeller; and Roosevelt’s Secret War: FDR and World War II Espionage. He collaborated with Colin Powell, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and later U.S. Secretary of State, on Powell’s autobiography, My American Journey.
Persico maintained a close association with UAlbany. He received the Alumni Association’s Distinguished Alumni Award in 1982 and an honorary doctoral degree in 1996. Persico donated his papers to the University Libraries in 2006, and scholarship and fellowship funds were established in his name.
Survivors include his wife, Sylvia LaVista Persico, B.A.’69; daughters, Vanya Perez and Andrea Holder; brother, Richard Persico, B.A.’55; sister, Annabelle Townson, B.A.’57; and five grandchildren.
