I met June Nash while she taught a course at the university of Colorado Boulder back in the early eighties. I was responsible for picking up June at the airport and showing her around Boulder and the campus. I took her class and enjoyed learning so much from June during her stay in Colorado. I will truly treasure my experience with meeting her and spending time getting to know this fascinating woman.

I was on a delegation with June to El Salvador and Nicaragua in 1983, and saw her impressive fieldwork skills in action under difficult circumstances. June's commitment to her research communities and to social justice and feminist concerns make her a truly outstanding role model for us all. We have lost a dedicated scholar who really cared. She also loved life.

I was a student of June's at the CUNY Graduate School and have carried her book, We Eat the Mines and the Mines Eat Us, through many a relocation. I work now at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies and I am indebted to her. I was sorry to hear of her passing.

June's work was an inspiration to thousands of young Latin Americanist scholars like me. I want to express my deepest condolences to her family and to those who knew her best. As they say in Spanish, she was "de armas tomar". May she rest in peace.

June Nash was the most generous of friends and teachers. Beloved by so many of us and a great scholar and leader in Latin American and gender studies. She mentored a generation of women and men and produced some of finest scholarship of the past 50 years.
