Suzanne Platoff, a long-time Englewood activist, died on July 27 at the age of 82. In 1994, she challenged then incumbent Mayor Donald Aronson in the Democratic Primary and failed to unseat him by a small margin. Some of her supporters in that campaign later started The Englewood Report (ancestor of this newsletter) and she served on its editorial board during its four-year existence, 1995-1998.

Suzanne’s activism in Englewood dates back to her participation in the school integration fight in 1963. At various times a member of the League of Women Voters and of the Democratic Municipal Committee, and Board President of the Englewood Library, she remained actively involved in this community throughout her life here. Her husband, Judge Robert Platoff, died in 1980.
