Nathaniel Davis

Last week, Claremont lost a treasure.  Nat Davis, former US Ambassador to Chile (among many other jobs in the Foreign Service), finished his career as a professor of 19 years in political science at Harvey Mudd College.  Nat and his lovely wife, Liz, have been longtime members of Claremont UCC where we would see them every Sunday sitting in their usual spots near the front of the sanctuary.

A true diplomat, Nat, was a gracious human being with a quiet, but sharp sense of humor.

He will be greatly missed.  Here is a link to his LA Times Obituary.  A more in-depth obituary can be found in the May 23 edition of the NY Times.

Thanks for the lovely tribute. He was indeed a very special man with such a wonderful wife and family.
