If so, please forgive my reposting it. Susan was a dear, caring, intelligent person, and losing her is a terrible tragedy for the field of adult education. Barb Van Horn ************************************ 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: "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. -- Staff of the National Institute for Literacy www.nifl.gov/lincs -- Barb Van Horn (M.Ed., Reading) Co-Director, Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy and Goodling Institute for Research in Family Literacy College of Education, Penn State University BLV1@PSU.EDU (e-mail) 814-865-5876 (phone) 814-863-6108 (fax)
