I know you will continue writing, reading and learning over the next few decades. I always appreciated the role you played in the history department. I have admired your intelligence and insight on so many issues. Wishing you the very best! Keep in touch.

One unforeseen loss that came with a common lunch is staff retreated to departments instead of the staff room for lunch, and we stopped getting to know everyone in the building. When lunches were spread over the day each semester, you'd get to know a new crew on lunch and prep. We also didn't have coffee makers and bar fridges in separate offices - just the staff room, which made it a crowded but friendly place. It's a shame. I would have liked to get to know you more as well.

I share many of your frustrations and struggle to find how to push the best way forward for our kids… wanting to raise the bar instead of lowering the bar. You have always inspired me and my hope is you find your peace, meaning, challenge and enjoyment during your next phase.

Marie, you are one of those characters. And you added such a unique and important voice to the community. Best wishes.
