Dearest Rose, whose energy and enthusiasm, and constant smile will be greatly missed. She always added the zinger wisdom needed to capsulize the issues before us. In Milwaukee, I worked with her on Peace activism, the Cable Co-op, the New Jewish Agenda and our Arab-Jewish dialogues. We also had the pleasure of hosting her at our home in Cincinnati, when she returned to be honored and I had a chance to learn about her earlier activism on Cincinnati's West End, where she helped to form what became a co-operative named ParkTown, a development of hundreds of units of housing which is still a well-kept safe haven of cooperation and pride for those who live there and self-govern. She was always a force to be reckoned with, a wellspring of goodness and knowledge and wisdom. Wow, what a life well lived.
