Not sure what to say?

A wonderful professor at Hunter College, I loved her Greek Classicism class I took in 2001 when I was first returning to school, for graduate study, I also enjoyed seeing her in the Watson library for many years later. Wonderful memories, Thank you Dr Moore

MBM was tough. Really tough. But she was also gifted, generous, and hilarious. She changed my life.

Mary and I were pen pals,when we were14 years old, until we were 28. We both had red cocker Spaniel Spaniels, and Mary had written about her dog, Wink in Dog World Magazine. She was a wonderful friend thru our many letters and had a great wit. We drifted apart for many years, and then reconnected in the late 1990's, by phone. Sadly, we never met in person. I most recently spoke with her in 2023. She still had that great wit that I always admired. A very special woman!

She was one of my favorite professors. I've so often thought of her in the nearly twenty years since.
