[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Sad News

[RASINSKI, TIMOTHY]

Colleagues - Quick Question - is there a reason why there is an honorary Hall of Fame for deceased members.  Might it not be possible for folks to be made members of the actual Hall of Fame posthumously?     Seems that the notion of "honorary" membership is a step down from actual membership.    Thanks.

I believe we have a policy that members nominated for the honorary list of Reading Hall of Fame (we have members, pioneers, deceased members, and honorary members - nominated after death -- see website)  can be nominated two or three (can't remember) years after death. Keep that in mind Bill and you can nominate Iris then.

There are numbers of literacy scholars who should be in the Reading Hall of Fame who have died. We don't get many nominations for the honorary member category.  Ken will be offering a motion to be discussed at our next breakfast meeting  that there be a committee appointed by RHF president who will nominate a specific number of deceased scholars for honorary membership. every year.

In any case, thanks for letting us know about Iris, Bill and do keep in
touch if you hear more about honoring her.   Yetta
