Regretfully, our families did not share a lifetime as I expected when I was 15. I remember when Rayla and Bill were married in Manhattan and when we last saw each other at Skyline Towers when Dana Alice was born. How did so many years get away from us? Needless to say, Iwas very sad to just learn of Bill’s passing. (Feb. 5,2021)
Thanks for the wonderful visit in 2016--over 40 years after I was at TC

Bill was the best! I am so grateful that he was my advisor during my masters degree. He was a quiet leader who gently guided me to be better than I thought I could be. I treasured the time we spent working together on his observation instrument for the Teachers College Video Tape Data Bank. Such an amazing forward thinker he was. He also kept everything in perspective and taught me that your profession was important, but that family came first.
Rayla, Thank you for being a great model for me of an activist who when she saw inequitable situations stepped up and did something about it. Your girls couldn't take "shop class" in school because of their gender but you stepped in and demanded equitable opportunity. It meant so much to me as a 21 year old who had not been allowed to take shop either. Your model guided me to take on many equity issues over the years. You and Bill were wonderful role models for me. Thank you!
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I know he will always be a part of you. Much Love, Dolly
