Death of Bill Callahan ’78

Class Notes
Class of 1978
Posted on January 15, 2014

I’m sad to inform you of the death of my brother, Bill (William) Callahan, on December 12, 2013. Bill graduated from Deerfield in the class of ’78. Bill died doing what he loved most besides psychiatry, traveling and seeing new places, but most importantly meeting and becoming fast friends with the people he met along the way. At the time of his death he was hiking Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, when he became lost and died in a fall.

I’ve attached an article with details of Bill’s recent professional life and his death. Please feel free to include whatever you feel appropriate in class notes. Deerfield was extremely important to Bill and he would certainly have wanted his classmates informed.
