Lewis Katz, the Philadelphia Inquirer co-owner who perished along with six others in a plane crash at Hanscom Field Saturday night, had attended an education-related event that afternoon at the Concord home of Doris Kearns Goodwin, the Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian, and her husband Richard Goodwin, former advisor to a former adviser to Democratic presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. The event, which included more than 200 people, was in support of their son Michael Goodwin’s Concord River Institute, an interdisciplinary “school for schools” he created while working as a teacher at Concord-Carlisle High School. “I have lost a great friend, his family has lost a great father and grandfather, and the country has lost a great man, Doris Kearns Goodwin said in a statement. Michael Goodwin called the death of Katz and his colleagues “a crushing and devastating loss.”
