[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Bill Teale

[P Pearson]

It is, for me, beyond belief that someone as alive—as vibrant in mind,
spirit, and body—as Bill has been taken from us--seemingly without warning
and in the prime of his senior years.

Taffy, I hope that you and Jim can share our thoughts about Bill with
Junko, Alyssa, and Jeremy.  I hope his family members can take some solace
in knowing that their husband and father was widely revered, respected, and
loved by hundreds of colleagues and students around the world.  He touched
and blessed us all with his professional commitment, his razor sharp mind,
and his generous spirit.
