[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Fw: Brian Street, R.I.P.

This is saddening news indeed. I am one of the many people Brian befriended and helped professionally.  I stayed with him at Brighton many times and we travelled together in Australia and UK - always intelligent, entertaining, and steadfast in his companionship and support.  Many of us will miss him keenly but, at the same time, we will feel lucky that we knew  him. Peter Freebody

For those of you who did not receive this email, see below. So sad.  Brian Street was to present at the Reading Hall of Fame Session at ILA in Orlando this year.   He was inducted last year.  He will be missed.

For those of us who draw upon new literacies scholarship, you will join me in mourning Brian Street.





From: David Bloome <davidbloome at gmail.com>

It is with great sadness and pain that I share with you that our friend and colleague Brian Street died last night.  Lalu shared with us that he was listening to Jazz when he
 died.  Brian had been fighting a long time against a cancer that had riddled his body.   There is no information yet about memorial and funeral arrangements.  Brian will be remembered for his scholarship and theorizing on literacy and culture; for many of
 us, we will remember most his optimism about life, his eagerness to engage people in conversation, his friendship, the many doors he opened for others, his love of jazz, and beer at the Bristol pub on Sunday evenings.
