Tribute to Susan Green, 1944 - 2002

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Susan =
Green,
writer and editor at the Institute and long-time advocate for literacy, =
on
February 25th.  Susan's career included nearly a decade at the National
Institute for Literacy, 12 years with the Follow Through early literacy
program at the U.S. Department of Education, and several years on the =
White
House staff of First Lady Barbara Bush.  Mrs. Bush said of Susan:=20

"Susan Green was one of my mentors in literacy.  She was there with me =
in
the beginning, when few people were really paying attention to =
literacy.
She was passionate about it, and would have personally taught every =
single
man, woman, and child in America how to read if she could have.  She =
was a
dear friend, a warm and loving person. She will be missed by me and all =
who
knew her."

A Susan Green Memorial Fund is being established to benefit at VALUE =
(Voice
of Adult Literacy United for Education).  Susan was a central and
irreplaceable part of the National Institute for Literacy, and is =
deeply
missed. =20
