A friend...I just found out today about her passing. A friend living abroad sent me an email. I was very saddened by it. She was a great teacher and human being.I did an internet search and I found this blog. <BR/>While thinking of her, some events came to mind. I recalled an incomplete I once had in one of her classes. To make up for it she required that I do a bibliography of all rhetoric holdings in the library. That meant a 100 page bibliography. A gargantuan project that to this very day is probably used as reference somewhere. I remember her wedding in 95 to Dr. Colburn. That date was stuck in my mind due to the fact that was a student at Dr. Colburn's summer class. I remember he took some time off for his honeymoon. I remember the birth of her son and how that was so exciting to her. I also have fond memories of riding together to a KPA conference in Louisville along with Dr. Colburn and Dr.Neeper and of Pesach at Lynne Taetzsch's house. My last memory was a chance encounter at the Fuzzy Duck in 2001 where I told her about the birth my daughter. She congratulated me enthusiastically. I will really miss her.
