Ben Dubin was such a important name when I was a child. When I met Freda at WAM it was as if I had always known her. She was wonderful and we had such good times at the Museum. It is so sad she has left us. I am grateful to have known and loved her.

We send our deepest sympathy to all of you. Your mother was not only a wonderful neighbor but a concerned and dedicated friend to our mother for so many years. Gail and I are so happy we had the opportunity to visit with your mother when we were in Worcester last April. Our memories from Kinnicutt Rd. will always include the entire Dubin family.

So sorry for your loss. I was the babysitter for Jacqueline and Robert in the early fifties and Mrs. Dubin had a huge impact on my life. She was some lady.

Freda was a giant among docents--she was always willing to give; and always trying to learn more about the museum's collections and its audiences. We will miss her. Honee Hess and the members of the Education staff at the Worcester Art Museum.

For years I called her Aunt Freda. She always made me feel like a true member of the Reck/Dubin clan! I will miss her, but I will never forget her. May you all find strength and solace in the wonderful memories you hold dear. Love-Ellen
