Remembering Sydel, wise, challenging but supportive mentor. Her focus on four field anthropology and its past and potential roles in the world inspired many of us.

Remembering you, dear Sydel, as a cherished girlfriend from Marshall High School. We were the smart, arty and talented ones. We had a lot of fun, didn't we? Rest in Peace.
