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

Thu Apr 6 06:56:40 BST 2017

What about creating a Certificate of Accomplishment or Recognition from the RHoF?  We could award this to her at AERA, if she will be there at the end of this month?  If not, we could arrange to provide her with a formal plaque and to write up a profile of her as an editor with the books recognized that she has work on.  Perhaps someone could go to her office to surprise her with this official recognition or invite her to lunch in NY or wherever.

We might also have a ZOOM event where many of us could recognize her work.  Someone would need to be with her but ZOOM allows 1-40 links and is stable and can be recorded on a desktop and then linked to the website or other?

Thoughts?

The only reason we are using the RHF Listserv now is that we  know that many of you feel as Allan, Yetta, and I do.  If we do more, we will go off the Listserv to communicate.
