I can not simply forward this message, because Susan was a dear friend. She loved good writing, she loved literacy, she loved to laugh. Her spirit lives on through the amazing numbers of us whom she touched on such a personal level. When we do good work in the literacy arena, we honor her. Barb Garner ****************** Dear Friends of Susan Green, It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Susan Green, writer and editor at the Institute and long-time advocate for literacy, on February 25th. Susan's career included nearly a decade at the National Institute for Literacy, 12 years with the Follow Through early literacy program at the U.S. Department of Education, and four years at the White House as First Lady Barbara Bush's literacy expert. Mrs. Bush said of Susan: "Susan Green was one of my mentors in literacy. She was there with me in the beginning, when few people were really paying attention to literacy. She was passionate about it, and would have personally taught every single man, woman, and child in America how to read if she could have. She was a dear friend, a warm and loving person. She will be missed by me and all who knew her." A Susan Green Memorial Fund is being established to benefit at VALUE (Voice of Adult Literacy United for Education). Susan was a central and irreplaceable part of the National Institute for Literacy, and is deeply missed. -- The Staff of the National Institute for Literacy
