I only vaguely remember Dawn as "that girl from South Africa." I did meet her though. Turns out she had a very impressive career in South Africa πΏπ¦ as a singer, actress and producer. Check out her entry on Wikipedia.<>>
She and her husband did protest songs in the Apartheid era and got in trouble for that. We can temper our sadness at her passing with pride.
I am very touched by what Guy has written. I did not meet nor do I remember Dawn. Our graduation class was a large one and there were many people I didn't know. However, as I think about Dawn and the incredible life that she went on to lead, I will remember her with a sense of sadness and a wish that her time with us at Mumford was of value to her. I am wondering who the host family was?

Dawn Silver lived for a year with my family when she was an exchange from South Africa. We shared a bedroom, friends and activities. Like "sisters" we had some different interests but were very close. I missed her when she went home but enjoyed following her successful career as a singer and later in the theater, and as an activist. She was loved and respected.
Many, many memories of Dawn's year at Mumford. We shared many interests. Dawn educated me about the anti-apartheid movement, and was an important influence in my life. She had a wonderful sense of humor! Sad to learn of her passing. Glad for cherished memories.
I remember Dawn very well. She was in my Speech 2 class along with Karen Fink. We also met
for a class project at her house. She always seemed interested in you as an individual. You knew
you could talk with her and she wasn't doing it just to be polite. We got to learn about South Africa, too. Wish she was one person I could've kept contact with. It was such a hugh class. Once
you graduate, you're happy to leave and just forget everybody who wasn't a close friend.

She also gave great speeches.
