I have a stack(25) of telecast transcripts from “A Way of Thinking” that I inherited from a dear friend who clearly admired Mr. Burke. I imagine these are easy to find? If you want copies I can provide them for you.

I BELIEVE, BUT AM NOT CERTAIN, THAT HELEN LIVES IN CALIFORNIA.

DR. BURKE WAS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON AND A GOOD FRIEND. I THINK OF HIM OFTEN AND ABOUT THE GOOD LIFE THAT HE LED.

AS THEY SAY, “WE WILL NOT SEE THE LIKES OF HIM AGAIN.”

I knew Dr. Burke and had the greatest respect for this wonderful person. He loved and respected his deceased wife and their beloved daughter. I know that he and his wife also had a son, but I do not recall his name.
We shared a common interest, older Pontiacs. We each had one.
My teenaged daughter and I used to watch Dr. Burke’s PBS presentations. They were arresting.

The world is poorer for his passing.

About 50 years ago I heard Dr. Burke speak inSacramento. During theQ and A session, hewas asked what he thought about the government’s role in educaation and he replied something to the effect that he could’t be too objective, because he got a Ph. D. on the G.I. Bill. I was really impressed byDr. Burke and not only because of his being a Burke, but largely for his message regarding the water crisis in California! In the ’60′s no less! Now people are discovering the “water problem” !!!! as in the latest issue of Geographic. Thirstily yours

Can someone help me track down Helen Burke. My father, Harold Olin Grant, was a close confidant of Dr. Burke throughout the years. I remember going to Dr. Burke’s trailer office in the woods of Cheshire, CT as a young boy and playing in the woods while my dad would vistit with Albert….sometimes for hours on end.
My dad passed away on April 22, 1992. Dr. Burke was in contact with my mom within hours of his passing but nobody ever contacted him regarding my dads death. Dr. Burke came to Wallingford, Ct and asked if he could spend some moments alone with my dad’s body. I remember being there at the funeral home when this happened. I will never forget my last time seeing Dr. Burke. He came out of the room where my dad’s body lay, hugged and kissed my mom and sister then turned to me and said ” your dad was a great man and was my very best friend. I will never forget him.”
He turned and walked out of the funeral home and we never saw or heard from him again.
I would love to speak with Helen and share some things with her about what I remembered from her father’s visits at our house with my dad.
