He’s gone

University of Nevada, Reno art professor Howard Rosenberg retired on June 30 after 51 years at UNR.

“I came out here planning to stay for a one-year contract and then go back east,” he once told a Fallon audience. “It’s 50 years later and I’m still here. My mother came out here for a visit and stayed for 18 years. My sister came out to get rid of a husband and found three more. This is a very good place.”

During those years, Rosenberg was also a movie critic for KTVN in Reno and KCRA in Sacramento and served on the Nevada Board of Regents for 12 years and the Washoe County School Board for four.
