Yes sad news. Margaret Meek Spencer was a strong advocate for children’s literature and literacy learning. Her work influenced curriculum in NSW in the 80s. Her legacy lives on.

Another sad loss to our community. Our ranks are too quickly thinning.
We need some Torchlighters to pass the RHF’s torch to.
Take care of yourselves.

from Denny Taylor's FB post of 10 hours ago...

I received a sad note today from the UK to let me know Margaret Meek Spencer is no longer with us. When I think of Margaret I think of her incredible strength and indomitable spirit. She will remain in my heart for ever. Her participation in the great women's scholars forums 10 days after September 11th will always be with me. It is like a movie that I watch in odd moments - especially in times of disaster, like now. I was thinking of Margaret two days ago in this way and I will continue to do so. Yetta M.

Each great scholar was a tower of strength at a time when their guidance and love made it possible to go on. All of their presentations are in this little book which I keep with me always.
