Caitlin Hawke. Daughter of John D. Hawke, Jr., known to all as Jerry, Caitlin grew up in a large family in Washington, DC, where tales of her father’s air force buddy Hunter S. Thompson were the stuff of family legend. Returning to her father’s stomping ground in New York City, Caitlin settled on the Upper West Side, not far from where he was born in 1933. She has lived there for nearly 40 years. For the last 12 years, she worked at Columbia University in the area of aging science, and more recently has entered Columbia’s Master of Oral History Program where, as a public historian, she researches local progressive movements and neighborhood histories.
