I've only known Ann since
graduate school, when I took a class from her when I was a
Master's student in History at the University of Oregon in
1969, and she came to teach as a visiting faculty member
that summer in the College of Education. Over the years I have
visited Ann in Hawaii several times and she has come here to
Eugene (where I am an emeritus prof). I was saddened by the news,
as I am sure everyone else was. I believe the last time I
saw Ann was at a History of Education Conference (maybe
Chicago) and she and I sat together at the banquet. The next
week, one of the presenters and one of Ann's good friends
from Wisconsin, Sterling Fishman, suddenly died. Ann and I
talked about that when it happened and I guess that is the
way life will continue to unfold for us and eventually end.
I have a favor to ask: Ann's
niece, Melanie Keppel from Las Vegas, Nevada, was with Ann
on Ann's last visit to me in Eugene. Would you happen to
have her mailing or e-mail address. Many thanks. Again, my thanks to you for
keeping in touch. Cordially, Toby Edson
