Poetic Obituaries: [Edward Connery] Lathem and [Robert] Frost were close--

the poet served as Lathem's best man at his wedding, according to David Shribman '76, Lathem's friend and executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Shribman is an emeritus member of the College's Board of Trustees.

Lathem's 1969 volume, "The Poetry of Robert Frost," is considered the seminal edition of Frost's poems and is owned by "anyone between the ages of 40 and 90 who likes to read," Shribman said in an interview with The Dartmouth.

Lathem was a meticulous writer, contributing to his success as an author and editor, Shribman said.
