Dr. Georg and Dr. Wilma were excellent colleagues, mentors and friends. Dr. Georg was an esteemed member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. I last spoke to Mrs. Iggers in July 2024. Your spirit and soul will be missed. Thank you for being such a positive force and touching all of the lives that you touched. My thoughts and prayers are with the Iggers Family.

I met Wilma though her husband Georg Iggers, in 1996 when I arrived in Buffalo to teach at the UB, History Dept. Although my colleague was Georg, it was clear to me that they shared everything in life, both academically and socially , and that Wilma was a valuable life partner for Georg and that she also had an important career as an academic as well . Their political goals were also aligned, which was important for the familys success.
