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

[Yetta Goodman]

We add our voices to Allan's and P. David. 's.  Having Naomi Silverman in
our academic lives has been important to our own knowledge expansion and
given us opportunities to contribute to others.  Naomi has always been both
personal and professional.  Indeed let each of us honor her personally and
perhaps together we can find additional ways to honor her collectively.
