As a result of this discussion, Ms. Easton made a significant gift, which President Keller arranged to match with an equal sum from University resources, and the Edelstein-Keller Endowment was born. Ms. Easton named the endowment in honor of her brother, David E. Edelstein, and his closest friend, Thomas A. Keller, Jr. (no relation to President Keller). and the current writer-in-residence, Charles Baxter.
