Dear Joan,

My heart and prayers are with you and the members of Claudia's family and loved ones. I got to know Claudia at Lesley (before it got its' U) when Jim Fraser hired her to work in the certification office. Claudia taught me a lot about the history of women in the U.S, but more about how to play arkanoids and arcade golf. Her laughter, sense of humor, and love of great music by fantastic women artists -- Patsy Cline's "Crazy" for one -- are wonderful memories for me to hold on to. In memory of my Pal Claudia.
