Ned served as the urban missionary on a parish staff. For 14 years as an executive recruiter, Ned helped build the firm, Isaacson Miller, to national prominence. I do executive recruiting, program evaluation and consulting, and policy research, working with national foundations. Ned has maintained a practice in premarital counseling and wedding ceremony design, often with couples from differing religious backgrounds. His wife and two sons are Jewish.
Religion is too important to be left to the religious and to traditional religious language.
A number of Wooster friends attended the memorial service. Solomon Oliver Jr., a U.S. District Judge in Cleveland since 1994, was awarded the 2000 Distinguished Alumni Award by the College in June.
