Not sure what to say?

I was sorry to be out of town for the service

When and where is the memorial service on Sunday?

I shall always remember Adeline as a many talented woman and a very dear friend during my time at EDC and TERC. I'll extend my deepest sympathy to her family.

When I was a curriculum developer at ESS, Adeline taught me to write and taught me that a brilliant editor (and good friend) rips apart your writing so that you better understand what you meant to say--and then you learn to say it. Over the subsequent 38 years I passed on what I learned from her to my science students and it made them better scientists.

Adeline remains a star in my Philadelphia decade. It pains me that my recent efforts to reconnect came just a bit too late. I look forward to seeing her sons after all these years.

My condolences to the Naiman boys. Your Mom was a large colorful presence in my youth, good friend to my mother, and a cherished neighbor to my Dad and Beverly.

Adeline, you were so modest about your amazing life. A lot of things I do here in Lincoln seem to have a void in the middle because you're not there (e.g., films at the COA) and how about your almost daily emails to liven my life in the un-intellectual tropics? I hope you knew, while you lived, that you were special to me. How you soldiered on! Love, Diana

My sympathies to your family. Adeline was a sweet woman and I've missed her at the Lydian Concerts since Mark's passing. May she rest in peace.

Adeline was an intellectual gadfly that for many years prodded a reluctant world of education and educators forward despite their efforts to resist. There have always been too few of her like and now there is one fewer - she will be missed by many.
