Margaret E. Bond

I worked with Margaret in the PR office at the university during the '90s. One of the favorite parts of my job was writing features for the Review because I got to work with her. To this day, the word 'editor' makes me think of her behind that big desk in her office - books and papers piled high, a desk lamp that cast a cozy glow. She made me feel right at home, both in that office and in my career as a writer. Thanks, Margaret!

Margaret was an extraordinary woman who had an amazing life. In her wedding vows, Margaret's mother, Mildred Benedict, crossed out the word “obey”, an act which was a foreshadowing of Margaret's life. Margaret grew up to be an independent and spirited person who loved books, theater, art and travel. Her father was the artist Milton Bond and Margaret was herself a gifted artist. Her quick wit and dry sense of humor gave her the ability to turn any misadventure into a side splitting story. ...

I remember "Bondie" from our days at the Memorial Art Gallery.. She was fun, congenial and represented the Gallery with great professionalism. I am so sorry to read of her passing

I remember Margaret as a wonderful lady. When Edna Bond passed away, Maraget, my Dad (Elmer Bond) and I went to the funeral together.

I learned much of what I know about copy editing from Margaret, working with her on the Rochester Review for 10 years. She was a real pro, and I am lucky to have had the opportunity to watch her work.

Margaret was a consummate professional; committed to a high standard of excellence for the University of Rochester's benefit. She leaves a lasting legacy at Rochester and many admiring friends.
