I stumbled upon your memorial page for Deborah Tall and was touched by what you had to say. She seems to have been quite a person. I happened to discover her From Where We Stand recently and had never heard of her previously. Coincidentally I am moving to New York State, a couple hundred miles south of Seneca Falls. I'm only 20 pages into the book and was so moved by her prose that I rushed to find out more about her.

I plan to buy her other work. I will pass on the word, her words. Thanks.

I was devastated to learn of Deborah's death in 2006 and have since tried to temper my grief--do we ever really say thank you?--with the lessons her life teaches me. Still, a measure of grace is gone from us; we have lost something truly irrecoverable. She was my first, and my best, reader and real teacher. I'm happy to find this moving memorial. Thank you, Stephen.
