[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: retirement of Naomi Silverman, Routledge

[P. David PEARSON]

Couldn't agree more in your assessment of Naomi's unique contributions to
the field. Have worked with her on multiple projects since the mid 1980s.
Have let her know how much I value her work.  Join Allan in suggesting that
we all go out of our way to honor her.
