There were many things we knew about Natacha Dykman. For instance, we knew that she was a loyal League member for many, many years and president of the state League from 1976 to 1979. She was not afraid to speak her mind and her car sported a bumper sticker that read, “Question Authority.” What we did not know is that she included the both the state League and her local League, the LWV of the Rochester Metro Area, in her will. We were contacted by her son, Timothy, this year. Timothy was the executor of his mother’s estate and called to let us know that he would be sending a bequest for us and for the Rochester League. Natacha was still supporting the League she so believed in even after she was gone. According to Timothy, Natacha was born in Springfield, Illinois and was an artist her whole life. During World War II, she worked as a draftsman on the Manhattan Project where she met her husband, Milton Dykman. The couple moved to Rochester, New York after the war and Natacha quickly got involved in that community. In addition to her League work, she was a member of the judicial nominating committee for the New York State Supreme Court and of the state’s medical quality assurance board. She also served as a trustee of the Rochester Institute of Technology. She remained an artist until her death and painted and made hand-pressed books. Her commitment to the League during her life was tremendous and we know the legacy she left will ensure that the League is there for the next generation of members and New Yorkers.
