Joel D. Siegel W’63, L’66 Supports Loan Forgiveness Program 
Joel D. Siegel W’63, L’66, a partner at Orloff Lowenbach Stifelman &
Siegel in Roseland, New Jersey, has made a gift in honor of his 35 th
Reunion in support of the public interest loan repayment program. Graduates
who pursue public interest careers will be eligible for interest-free
loans to help defray the costs of educational loans. If the graduate remains
in a qualifying public interest position for more than three years, the
program will provide for loan forgiveness. The Joel D. Siegel Fund will
be available to graduates within ten years of their graduation from Penn
Law. He is married to Shelley Lesser Siegel CW’64, and they have two daughters
and a son-in-law who are also Penn alumni – Jill C’89, Jane Greene C’91,
L’95 and Mark Greene L’93. Jane Greene is the Executive Director of the
Innocence Project at Benjamin Cardozo Law School in New York. Siegel said
that he hoped that this gift would make it easier for students to choose
a public interest career as his daughter did. Planned Giving 
William B. Johnson L’43 and Mary Barb Johnson ED’40, L’43 have established
a charitable unitrust to create the William B. and Mary Barb Johnson Scholarship
Fund at the Law School. The fund will make available scholarship money
for women students of Penn Law School. Mrs. Johnson was one of only five
female members of the Class of 1943. She practiced with Stradley, Ronon,
