<div dir="ltr">I cannot say that I knew him well, but I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed and learned from several occasions in which I was privileged to interact with him, some in person and some via print and email. He and Nancy invited me to their foundation in the Baltimore area in the early 90s to talk about upping the ante on comprehension activities. In the late 90s, Steve Stahl and I did a review of Success for All (and several other early reading programs and interventions), so we interviewed him on a couple of occasions and negotiated his member check of our evaluation. And I always read his articles, even those I did not always agree with. <div><br></div><div>Above all, I found him to be a scholar of great integrity who combined equally strong commitments to equity and evidence. Equity for all students, with an extra commitment to those not always well served by our educational practices and institutions. Evidence so we don't deceive ourselves with runaway wishful thinking. His contributions will endure for many decades to come.<div><br></div><div>David</div><div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 3, 2021 at 1:19 PM Susan Neuman <<a href="mailto:sbneuman@nyu.edu">sbneuman@nyu.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">hi all...many of us were saddened to hear of bob slavin's passing. he died of a heart attack sometime last week. i didn't know bob well, but i always admired his work and incredible commitment to children. would love to hear from those who might have known him well. <br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Susan B.
