I will ask Jay Blanchard if he has an address for Nancy Schermer, Jay's
widow.. There will be an outdoor burial service for Jay on Wednesday Dec
16 at 2PM at Mt Sinai Cemetery in north Scottsdale. Nancy did share this
thought in a text exchange with me.
"We do plan to use some crazy Jay stories for part of it. Anything you
collect could be helpful." So if you want to submit any to me, I'll forward.
Jay Blanchard, who is attending and has been visiting Jay regularly since
his stroke a few years ago, has agreed to read this short tribute on my
behalf.
*S. Jay Samuels: A Tribute*
-
*Jay was my mentor. He lived the values and warrants of rigorous and
responsible scholarship and teaching. He supported my entry into the
field, connected me to other scholars and communities, and brokered
friendships that have lasted a lifetime. *
-
*Jay was my colleague. After I passed through the veil from student to
peer, he accepted me as he continued to mentor me. We wrote together,
presented together, edited together, and thought together. *
-
*Jay was my comrade. We worked hard and played hard. We ran the gamut from
serious scholarly review and writing to delightfully frivolous escapades
around the nation and even the world. *
- *Jay was my friend. I will miss him but always remember him. I will
honor his legacy to our understanding of this remarkable activity called
reading and always keep a place in my heart to share a smile about
the times we shared.*
*P. David Pearson*
*Berkeley CA*
*December 2020*
