Marlene Mallicoat

Marlene was the sweetest person and a generous and loving spouse for Ted Nelson - one of my best memories was coming to the houseboat with a group of awed DoD visitors

Marlene is remembered and missed - its hard to believe it has been 5 years. I last saw her on the houseboat when a group of us from Federal Health Futures came to visit Marlene and Ted. What a delightful and very memorable visit.

Dear Ted, so sorry to read about Marlene's passing, even though I am late to the wake. I'm just a fan and have read most of your stuff and, though you are nuts, you are a courageous, oblique, and sometimes dazzling thinker. I am sad for you but there is always a possiplex future built on memories. Love.

Memories emblazoned in my wetware and gratitude for the time we shared were my saving graces. May they be the same for you.

I remember well how happy Marlene and Ted made each other. I will miss her verve.

P.S.: I used to be Greta Bickford, rab's wife.

I was a Kappa at Oregon State University. Marlene was wonderful in every way: brilliant, unassuming, kind, and full of fun. I'm shocked and stunned to learn of her death at this late date. I'm not surprised to learn that she had a fulfilling career. She was a wonderful human being and I'm sad to think of a...

Marlene was a wonderful, intelligent and engaged person whom we miss.

Very sorry for your loss. She seems such a wonderful person. You are one of my contrarian heroes. Best wishes
