Attending a Hope Funds Award of Excellence Gala, as anyone who has had the opportunity to do, is a special evening. Often set in a Newport or New York historic landmark, the guests have the opportunity to hear directly from the world renowned figures who are receiving the awards. To help share the wisdom of these towering figures (including many Nobel Prizes winners and many who went on to receive the Nobel Prize after receiving the Hope Funds Award) the Hope Funds for Cancer Research has created a short documentary called "How to Win a Nobel Prize" in partnership with producer and narrator Gary Jobson. Here is the one-minute trailer for the movie, coming to a film festival, club or venue near you: https://lnkd.in/eaZGQdRc
Eventually the whole film will eventually be loaded to our YouTube channel so please subscribe to both the HFCR LinkedIn and YouTube pages! #CancerResearch #HopeFunds #NobelPrize

Linda G. Gordon, 83 of Newport, RI, died on May 29, 2024, after a short battle with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). She was the wife of the late Honorable David S. Gordon, former Newport mayor.

Linda and David moved to Newport from New York City about 40 years ago and immediately embraced the city and the community. Linda was a very private person but relished the dear friendships she had cultivated over the years. A natural artist, she took watercolor classes when she first moved to Newport and painted the most wonderful scenes of various landscapes from throughout the island. 

Linda will be remembered for her kindness, how graciously she lived, her sense of humor, her elegance, and for all she did for the betterment of Newport, including her involvement with numerous cultural and educational activities. A passionate advocate for the City of Newport, she spearheaded a project to restore Newport’s public statues and successfully co-chaired the Stanford White Casino Theatre Restoration. Most recently she served on the Alfred G. Vanderbilt Memorial restoration committee and then the newly formed Public Sculpture Commission. She also was recently a board member of Hope Funds for Cancer Research and served on its Development Committee.

Linda was a member many other committees and boards including the Exhibitions and Collection Committee and the Honorary Advisory Council of the Newport Art Museum. For a number of years, she was on the Doris Duke Historic Preservation Awards Celebration Committee of the Newport Restoration Foundation. She formerly was on the board of the old Rhode Island Shakespeare Theater and a member of the Advisory Commission for the Common Burying Ground.

Prior to moving to Newport, she worked in public relations at The NY Museum of Modern Art for 16 years, and was director of public relations at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York from 1978 to 1987.
Born in 1940 in Rochester, NY, she was the daughter of the late Betty Hart Bachmann and of Lawrence P. Bachmann of Oxfordshire, England, and of the late Leon H. Goldsmith, Jr. of Rochester. She was the granddaughter of Alfred Hart, a well-respected Rochester philanthropist and founder of the popular Hart’s Food Stores. She was the sister of the late Hart A. Goldsmith of Pittsford, NY. She leaves a daughter, Jessica Gordon Ryan, of Southport, CT, and three grandchildren, Rebecca Hart Ryan, Christopher James Ryan, and Alexander Gordon Ryan who miss her terribly. She attended Skidmore College and l’Ecole du Louvre, Paris.

There will be no funeral or other public event. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hope Funds for Cancer Research, 174 Bellevue Avenue, Suite 208, Newport RI 02840. She will be deeply missed by her family friends and colleagues.
