                    “Kidney Disease - A Tale of Two Miracles”

  In this informative presentation Dr. Kliger discusses the sea-change in keeping people alive with new technologies called dialysis and organ transplantation, which were introduced widely 60 years ago, and the modern miracle of new designer medicines that can stop kidney disease in its tracks.

  Dr. Kliger is Clinical Professor of Medicine, Yale School of Medicine. He served as Sr. VP Medical Affairs for Yale New Haven Health System, and was its Chief Quality Officer. He also served the Hospital of St. Raphael, New Haven as Chairman of the Department of Medicine, and later its Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Kliger served as the Chair of the American Society of Nephrology's Excellence in Patient Care Advisory Committee and has co-authored more than 190 publications in peer-reviewed journals, with particular interest in dialysis, quality measurement, quality improvement and patient safety.

  Dr. Kliger received his medical degree from SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY, and is Board Certified in nephrology and internal medicine.  In 2025, he was a Metal of Excellence awardee from the American Association of Kidney Patients. He has won numerous other awards, including from the National Kidney Foundation, and in their words “is nationally recognized for his clinical expertise in kidney function and care, and for his commitment to patient safety and to improving quality of care.”

  Christine Negroni

  “Don’t Wear Leggings on an Airplane and Other Lessons from Unhappy Landings”

  (Note: This talk will be presented via Zoom which may be viewed either in Parish Hall or remotely)

  This 30-minute presentation is a humorous and empowering look at the tremendous advances in aviation safety over the years, explaining how we arrived at a time when the vast majority of air accidents are survivable. Aviation got to this stellar level of safety through intentional effort. From enhanced communication to checklists to pre and post-flight briefings, these flying lessons can be applied throughout our personal and professional lives.  

  Christine Negroni has the distinction of working in three often reviled fields. For most of her career she has been a journalist, or an “enemy of the American people,” as one U.S. President characterizes the profession. And for eight years she worked for lawyers as chief of investigations for air accidents and aviation-related terrorism. Then there was the time she got close to government work while serving on an FAA advisory committee planning new rules for airlines.

  She began her career as a television correspondent and worked at CBS, CNN and ABC where she still participates as a “talking head” during coverage of air disasters. She writes about the aviation industry for The New York Times, the Washington Post, Travel + Leisure, and Slate among others.

  Her book, The Crash Detectives, is a New York Times best seller. Her previous book, Deadly Departure was a New York Times Notable book. She is presently writing her third book, a memoir titled - Don’t Wear Leggings on an Airplane - and Other Lessons From Unhappy Landings

  During the Obama administration she was interviewed for a White House nomination to the National Transportation Safety Board. And though she does not claim to have worked in politics, she cannot rule out entering a 4th odious profession in the future.

  Our next speaker, on October 22, will be Marc Wortman, author, on “Admiral Hyman Rickover: Engineer of Power.”

  The Greenwich Retired Men’s Association offers a free program every Wednesday that is open to the public, both men and women; no reservations are required.

      Marc Wortman, PhD.

  “Admiral Hyman Rickover: Engineer of Power”

  

  Known as the “Father of the Nuclear Navy,” Admiral Hyman Rickover (1899-1986) remains almost a mythical figure in the United States Navy. A brilliant engineer with a ferocious will and combative personality, he oversaw the invention of the world’s first practical nuclear reactor. As important as the transition from sail to steam, his development of nuclear-propelled submarines and ships transformed naval power and the Cold War. They still influence world affairs today. His disdain for naval regulations, indifference to chain of command, and harsh insulting language earned him enemies in the Navy, but his achievements won him powerful friends in Congress and the White House. 

  Marc Wortman, PhD, is a multi-award-winning independent historian and freelance journalist. He is the author of five books on American military, technology, and leadership, most recently The Greatest Capitalist Who Ever Lived: Tom Watson Jr. and the Epic Story of How IBM Created the Digital Age. Previous books include the award-winning Admiral Hyman Rickover: Engineer of Power, 1941: Fighting the Shadow War,The Bonfire: The Siege and Burning of Atlanta, and The Millionaires’ Unit: The Aristocratic Flyboys Who Fought the Great War and Invented American Air Power.

  Marc has written for many publications, including Vanity Fair, Smithsonian, Rolling Stone, and Time. He has appeared on CNN, NPR, C-SPAN BookTV, History Channel, Curiosity Stream and other outlets. He produced the exhibit on Admiral Rickover now on display at the Submarine Force Museum in Groton, Conn, and is an Honorary Plank Holder for the USS Rickover (SSN-795).

  Following college at Brown University, he received a doctorate in Comparative Literature from Princeton University. He lives with his family in New Haven.
