67th Avenue/Lee Goldman Lane

Lee Goldman (1925-1986) was a former president and an original board member of School District 26 in Bayside. She was representative to the Consultative Council of the Central Board of Education and served on numerous committees. In addition to her District 26 responsibilities, Goldman was active in the Oakland Terrace Civic Association, on the Executive Board of the Queens Borough Library Council, and was the educational representative for the Girl Scouts Maple Leaf District.

A native of New Bedford, Massachusetts, her family moved to the Bronx in 1928, and she eventually lived in Bayside. After taking part in community affairs including her local Parent Teacher Association, she joined the school board in 1970, serving as president from 1970-71 and again from 1983-84. She was predeceased by her husband, David, in 1976, and survived at the time by two daughters, a brother, and a granddaughter. The section of 67th Avenue in Bayside from 230th Street to 233rd Street is named in her honor.
