Dear Rosemary,

Many of our members in the League of Women Voters of Albany County remember your mother with deep affection and respect. Please accept our condolences.

Maggie Moehringer, LWVAC

Dear Rosemary,
I was very sorry to hear about your mother's passing. She accomplished a great deal in her lifetime.

Apparently, I was a beneficiary of the work she did at HVCC. I began my college education there in 1972 and earned my degree in 1975. It was a little scary starting college at the age of 27, but turned out to be one of the best experiences I ever had.

I was sorry to hear of the loss of your mother Selma. I remember her bright mind and many kindnesses she showed me over the years when we lived very close to each other in Albany. I did not realize that she was responsible for the women's program at Hudson Valley. I send my condolences and those of my mother, Lillian Alpert, who currently lives in TN, near my brother.
