Thinking of you and missing you my dear old friend.

Remembering my dear cousin Gail at this time. I wish to share an image of how I remember her

Dear Gail, I miss you, my dear friend! It was you who inspired me to step into TESOL's leadership position and be a tireless advocate for Adult English Learners and systematically under-served / under-represented students. Thank you dear Gail!

Thinking about Gail today. Miss her so much!

My condolences go out to Gail parents, Mss. Beatrice and Mr. Gene Weinstein, to her brother Bruce Weinstein, and her beloved daughter Hannah Rebecca Shr.

My condolences to the family and friends of Gail Weinstein whom I had first met in 1997 at her Learners' Lives as Curriculum presentation.

It was an honour to work with Gail and I offer my most heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. She was truly one of a kind and I would like to think...

My condolescences go out to Gail's family, friends and colleagues but especially to her daughter Hannah who I believe I met once when she was a baby. Gail was a classmate of mine in college. Her warm inclusive charismatic personality, her intelligence and her compassion have remained with me all these years despite the many years since last we were in touch. Gail once took me to a Passover seder in Utica and it is still one of my exceptional memories. I remember her pre- and...
