Stephen Rosenfeld

Rosenfeld was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The Post wrote that his father owned a local clothing store, played the violin, and wrote pieces about music criticism for the local newspaper, the Berkshire Eagle, while his mother was a secretary and immigrant from Latvia. He obtained his BA in history from Harvard University in 1953, and served in the Marine Corps for two years, before taking up his first job in journalism as a reporter for the Eagle. Rosenfeld retired from the Post in 2000, and died after suffering from Parkinson's disease. ==Notes==
