[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Election of deceased colleagues to the Reading Hall of Fame

Wed Sep 28 12:50:58 BST 2016

So, so sorry to hear of Ira's passing. I echo Jim's, Donna's and Ken's
words about Ira. What a wonderful person. I was sandwiched between Ken and
Ira in the roster of IRA Presidents (NOT Presidents of the Board). As a
thirty-something with a relatively new PH.D., I often thought "what am I
doing here between these two reading icons (it was still reading in those
days)?" Ira never failed to treat me with kindness and respect (which I did
not deserve). He will be missed?
